I see it now
The cables link and bind and tie, all of us as one
A cobbled mass constrained
Lonely haunts
With photos hung in frames, subjects staring back
I can't recall their names
Burn down, burn down
The walls that we called home
And walk away released
|
||||
2. |
||||
|
The blood on streets that mark the way, won't wash away with rain
Reddened stains on paths we all will take
Marching onward, stains on our boots
Mitigating harm was never in our truth

Ritual Senicide (IX005)

Marching to the precipice they sally forth on aging legs
Swan dives now to paint the rocks a lovely shade of Swedish red

Clear Cut (IX005)
00:44
|
|||
|
Counting by rings on these slices of trees
The age of the woods whispering unto me
The stories it tells in the cellular paths
As engines turn over to change up this map

Unmellow Death (IX005)
01:18
|
|||
|
Jaws snapping shut to crush the skull, to claim a life
Her limp body hangs from the mouth of the beast, a dangling mass with purpose served
Leaders insist on sacrifice but never theirs
Virgins in robes are fed to sate hungry gods, and they will devour again
|
||||

Englightenment (IX005)
01:31
|
|||
|
Voices echoing in hallowed halls
Bounce between outstretched walls
Searching for the truth
There is nothing sacred here

Table Scraps (IX005)
00:25
|
|||
|
Begging for these table scraps
From the masters'craggy hands
Dripping meat on silver forks
Nothing is given and only is taken from those who would sit at the head of the table
|
||||
18. |
||||
|
Snow shifting beneath my feet as I pace
Praying for thunder to crack in the sky
A flash sets the avalanche finally to fall
Swallow me dearest and spit out the bones
Spring thaws the valley and opens the wound
Exposing the body to radiant light
A spectrum that bursts as a rainbow above
Will lead you to gold in the darkest of times
|

|
Awakened from cryo rest
Discover parasitic nest
Creature breeds from death
Abandon ship
Evacuation

Skeleton Keys (IX006)
01:03
|
|||
|
Skeleton keys unlocking these doors
Behind which she'll find what she seeks
Shattering truths that lie in her past
Ignorance was bliss, she knows that now

Power Of God (IX006)
00:52
|
|||
|
Tattered robes of the priests
Browned from the mud of the gutters of streets
Hung from a skeletal frame
A sheet in the wind on decaying remains
Crows hopping round him in pairs
A dance for the dead leaving tracks in the dirt
Beaks picking over the flesh
An eyeless head turned up to the sky
Oh, rest assured, he had said
Divine protection lay crowned on his head
Trust in the power of God
I guess the Devil just won again this time
|

Pearls Of White (IX007)
10:13
|
|||
|
Pearls of white around your neck, once pried out with salty hands
Bounce the light that still remains despite the boards we've nailed aloft
Roaring overhead they streak as hawks with downcast eyes for prey
Searching for that one mistake to punish with a gift of flame
I have become tentacles enveloping your mortal frame
Coiled in this tight embrace and holding to a fading faith
Pray we make it one more night through falling bombs to wake again
Despite sins of those around that have ruined our Dresden
