Plague
04:15
|
|||
Sweeping through the land
Like a tidal wave crushing
Take each other hand in hand
Black plague comes gushing
Through
The soft flesh
Through
A thousand cuts
Raining down from heavens high
Like a God who doesn't care if you die
Look each other up and down
Before it comes to cleanse earth's ground
A plague of cold embrace
Smiles on the human race
Like times long since gone
Here it comes here it comes
Punishment
For crime
Justice
Without mercy
Breaking dirt and climbing out
Infesting dead and living alike
Watch em crawl just to die again
The end of all life begins
We never heed what heard
We wanna conquer without concern
Fire fights what fire burns
When nothing's left, will we have learned?

Collapse
04:51
|
|||
Flesh, tore from bone
Now, someone's home
Is a mausoleum
For the sacrifices
Steel beams, covered in stone
The moss, is overgrown
These buildings of the gods
Hateful and cruel
Collapsed bridges of yesterday
Show us there's no other way
Destruction has a loving grace
There is no other fate
Hearts, nailed to the walls
Blood spill and mating calls
New age chant, echoes out
The cycle spirals forever
These Modern days
Are rotting away
It's the ghost of mankind
That's here to stay
As memories
Begin to fade
In one single flash
We dissipate

End Of the World
03:32
|
|||
Just look around
Tell me how you feel
Smothered hope
Is this even real?
Don't tell me who
Who is to blame
It's always clear
Always the same
Today
Is the end
Of our lifetime
Oh yeah
(Today
I cry
forgotten
Lessons)
This
Disease
Consumed
Compassion
Oh yeah
Fear doesn't hide
It objectifies
A world of pawns
Okay with genocide
Control and
Manipulation
Talking to walls
I don't want this
Annihilation
You gave up
You gave up
Don't give up
You gave up

Back To Darkness
03:34
|
|||
There's nothing that matters
No birth no death
All illusions
Inside of our head
When we crawl on
This lonesome rock
Onto our deathbed
Like a billion stars
Going back
Back to darkness
Enveloped in
Cold isolation
And we're swallowed up
Abysmal shrieking
Ceases to be
A life fleeting
An indifferent time
In an empty space
The closest comforts
Are a lying face
And it never ends
Never ends
Even in the dark
It never ends
The lying face of conformity
Comfort in normality
To play the happy part
When sadness eats your heart

Orange Blossoms
05:14
|
|||
I bathe my thoughts impure
In a basin of innocent times
But like floods drown flowers
Nostalgic woe like statues of stone
Overtake me
Subjugated
The scent of blossoms
Growing on decay
In this place of
Quiet foreboding
Peace has come
At a price
Orange blossoms white
They blind my sight
You can set your eyes
On a trail, one way thinking
Tunnel vision
Demise
And rain will cleanse
It always does
Everything is fine
Everything will be alright

Idle Hands
02:59
|
|||
Strip away sanctuary
Loosen the ties, infatuary
And still
You are so tame
A hollow shell, empty being
Now break the mirror of vanity
And the shattering
Echoes your name
Solitude in thoughts
Perversions of lust
Rectified distractions
That keep you bound
Break free, release
Break free, release!
Dont settle for
Complicit mentality
Idle Hands
Led to evil
Silent lives
Perish inside
These voices that beg
Plead, that lie
They Don't give a shit
About you or your life
Illicit schemes to
Fund their games
I feel regret
And I feel shame
I wanted something better
In the shroud of hopelessness
I a skirmish, a fight
How will I, persist?
I think there's change coming
I hope that we are willing
Autonomy in motion
Or disappear like emotions
(Under you)

Hopeless Movements
02:27
|
|||
What greeting is
Grey meeting eyes
No light that
Warms and comforts
The cold caress
Of a clenched fist
Writhe in agony
Manifest, apathy
Till tears run
And fall upon
A life of absolute
Nothingness
It's pressing down
I'm smothered now
Hopeless movements
I'd die to feel nothing
Backdrop of a cycle
Swirling in shadows
Voices speak, I do not hear
Take me far, far from here
Walking on needles
My lovers chest
And everyone
I've ever met
Bleed to death
A sordid fate
Slower, not painless
Give and take

In Graves
03:22
|
|||
I wanna what's inside your head
Is it the lies you have been fed
You see the coming days are filled with dread
Id rather have you here than not instead
These people have lied down in their beds
Six feet under
In graves they lie
Given up their life
A mass genocide
Obey, or die
Pray or die
I wanna see what's in their hearts
Know everything that douses that spark
Somethings keeping them caged, I gotta know
How they end up without their soul
These people have lied in their beds
Six feet under
Through the centuries
Time and again
Get out of the ground
You've been lying in

Alienation
04:51
|
|||
Wind blows in the way
I always want to face
A path away from you
And this is my truth
I capture what I can
In images of mind
To try and keep safe
I know I'm just drifting
I feel theres no expression
It's all just degradation
Every single day
In this moment
I feel
So alienated
Nothing is sacred
I cannot feel the same
The hope the drive
That made me
So Animated
Stripped, and gone
A skeleton of fear
Accomplishment through toil
We find joy in controlled values
That keep us in our cage
Till we're soulless and drained, soulless and drained
I try to find the love
And forge a path anew
Create my reality
Some substantiality
In this lost society
I don't want this world
Anymore
No change is coming
Evermore
The limit of dreams
Crushes me
The limit of life
Under you

Courtship Of Disease
03:27
|
|||
Septic drained holes for mouths
Feeding flies greet your eyes
And all you seek are roses
But they dont grow where love has died
In separate rooms
A frame of mind
In fragile wombs
Hearts aren't one
You're holding hands
With open wounds
You're kissing lips
That deal your doom
Courtship
Of disease
No love
No peace
Tears don't say what words were meant
In screaming rooms with a glimpse of contempt
The sickness of comfort or falsities
And nightmares are a regularity
Are you so sedated
Tongues so weak
Honesty breaks
No one speaks
|

Faith
05:32
|
|||
Gone in an instant
Present without presence
Here for a lifetime
Trust without trusting
Indefinite, it hides
Hides from my sight
So hard to grasp
In dark, or light
Comfort aperture
To which I retreat
Different than hope
Its knowing
It never ceases
Somewhere, it burns
And like autumn leaves die
It begins new life
In the most inconvenient spaces
White silk draperies
Cover me
In my secret self
Deep within
When you're Faithless
A shallow mess
Of fetid water
Breeding disease

12. |

Encompassed in grief and sorrow
Eyes are closed I don't wanna see tomorrow
The scent of the flowers show
We are all we'll ever know
 I'll never see you again
Come back, this is not the end
You have all my love, within
Eternally
Entombed in a garden of white
Flowers bloom on the blackest night
Encase this stone from which they shine
This forever and now you lie
I'll never see you again
Come back, this is not the end
You have all my love, within
Eternally
Instinct draws me from beliefs
Will we ever try, to gain our sight?
You were my moon
Now I don't know what I'll do
Without my light
Tonight
