In Defiance of the Sages Lyrics
We reject the esoteric falsehoods, the endless ponderings
and useless theories of the mystic inane. Their heads
nod, and from their mouths issue lies: an answer for every
question, illuminating all the mysteries. Only action is real.
The past is lost, the future unknowable. Only the present
can be truly experienced, can be truly known. Deny the
ecological soothsayers. Deny those self-styled radicals.
Reformers! Conformers! Smash the lens of rotting history.
Lay your torches on every museum, filled with dead
monstrosities, the superstitious veneration. No more
heritage. Destroy the past completely along with its
abortive children: unauthentic present and rust-encrusted
future. Now, we will create ruins. And after—something
new and unimagined.
