the sky has opened wide
a sign in the rising tide
portends the end for those
who are built on pride
water drenching earth
hallows this rebirth
the flood’s upon us
the weight of rain bears down
a question does confound
who among us will be spared?
and who will drown?
toils of yesterday
to be washed away
the will of god
do you deny it?
the will of god
do you defy it?
the flood’s upon us

Machination
01:54
|
|
||
from the days of our youth
remind us why we were born
taught from fear not truth
to these lies we have sworn
now am I older
less easy to mold
my heart has grown colder
this firm grip, strength will hold
this engine’s been burning
since first morning’s dawn
the light that’s receding
find the will to
carry on
I call it a game
rigged from the start
break the machination
in which you're a pawn
carry on
now I'm calling their names
out of the dark
once crowned to be kings
stripped from their thrones
carry on

These Bonds
04:15
|
|

these bonds that hold my body
so brilliantly conceived
grow ever tighter as I strain
vain exertion yields to
a gasp for air, an inward gaze
and then this moment of clarity
these bonds fall from my body
when I see the slave master’s eyes
and recognize them as my own

Fetid Love
04:47
|
|

where've you gone?
threw it all away
brought it home
deep inside
done to us all
hollowed out
and split your bone
so pure so good
you heard it once
sucked it up
brought it home
deep inside
this blackened sludge
drips in time
your fetid love
corrodes your mind
so this is love?
crooked crutch, splintered spine
spoken from blackened lung
what you heard
your own words
cut out your ears
pulled out your eyes
ripped out your spine
so you would not hear
but you could still perceive
so pure so good
now it spreads
through your veins
heavy as lead
and in the end
you cannot shed
what is your core
this fetid love
corrodes your mind

Comfort In My Collapse
04:32
|
|
||
the one whe asks
the one who seeks
the one who dwells in curiosity
is he a fool?
seems that each new question
delays this excavation
and now exhaustion sets in
so dulls the tool
a burden in my hand
and night is coming down
there might be comfort in my collapse
this night is cruel
comfort in my collapse
no I’ll take this back

can you feel it?
coming on
once again?
that thing you buried
is restless yet
beneath your feet
the dirt was solid
but the earth still trembles
and now it breaks
a figure rising
brushing dirt away
stands beside you
the tapping finger
whispered words
in your ear
the will to power?
you glimpse the image
nothing more
that thing you buried
is restless yet
becoming stronger
that thing you buried
is restless yet
will pull you under

familiar shadow
a presence in the air
you’ve grown accustomed to
existence unaware
free to live
under omnipresent eye
and so to live
is to let your own eye die
belong
turn on
turn on
belong

Burnt Offering
04:35
|
|
||
I need to give
my flesh
to this lovely heat
envelope me
in your flames
but the fire in your eyes
it leaves me so cold
so cold
I’ll give
myself
to you
sweet blood upon your tongue
but the fire in your eyes
it leaves me so cold
so fucking cold

honor above all else
father future
honor above all else
history until nothing’s left
father help me forget history until nothing’s left
on our backs they stand tall
honor above all else
behold these idols
forged from fools gold
the visions given
used for mass control
forgive them father
they know not what they’ve sown
forgive our weakness
we know not what strength we hold
and in my visions
I’ve seen the new world
and we are innocent
the future yet foretold
destruction satisfy
these urges will not die
bury the father
naked unadorned
bury your weakness
remove this crown of thorns
on your knees broken down
honor above all else
and in my visions
I’ve seen the new world
order sustained
by our guilty roles
bury the idols
beneath the future pyre
exhume your weakness
embody all desire
help me brother
I cannot face this pain
loss of innocence
stricken down in shame
honor
father
