lyrics

TAOI (The Art of Imperfection) by Polytheist

The Fire Dies, The void inside.
To achieve perfection is to invite death, With nothing left for which to strive
All that remains is to die, all that remains is to die

Perfection is nothing more than a detestful ego flaw
Possessed by the wicked, And your conceited gods

Least we submit to the stagnant death, forgo growth to the very last breath
The journeys over, recession begins and ill smile through death with all of my sins.

The Fire Dies, The void inside.

To achieve perfection is to invite death. With nothing left for which to strive
All that remains is to die, all that remains is to die

Perfection is nothing more than a detestful ego flaw
Possessed by the wicked, And your conceited gods

Your perfect being devised a plan to implement fatal flaws in man
The perfect plan to force dependence succeeded as were now all damned

Least we submit to the stagnant death forgo growth to the very last breath
The journeys over, recession begins and ill smile through death with all of my sins.

Your perfect being devised a plan to implement fatal flaws in man
The perfect plan to force dependence succeeded as were now all damned
