Blood red sunrise follows a moonless night
Am I not also forsaken?
Ashamed of wicked conscription
I wove this neck and despair into penance
Is hell truly my punishment?
Were you the one who put me up to this?
Was Satan collecting on a contract?
Heir-less martyr claimed by Nothingness?
Lost Child // Bird tongues
Stranger // Lap up
Vermin // My rot
Roots and worms become the treacherous ones
As above and so below
I become the sacrificial mold
Negative space for the unhealed, deborn
Adopted into Lucifer's fold
Lost Child // Bird tongues
Stranger // Lap up
Vermin // My rot
Roots and worms become the treacherous ones
Ever-present emptiness reveals
Angels do not whisper holy yields
Silvered tongues and fools' lips all alike
Built for me a house upon demise
The healing songs of peace all cast me out
More wicked than demons, yet void of vice or swine
No love
Finds me
Trembling
The blade of hell
Drives its shame
Into me
APOPHY
Forced to watch the flames consume it all
As she smiles I shut my eyes
The judgement cast from seraphim's eyes
Drains blood and breath; this world's been sacrificed
Innocence has set this all ablaze
Suffering's her twisted fucking game
Forced to watch the flames consume it all
As she smiles I shut my eyes
Ever-present emptiness reveals
Angels do not whisper holy yields
Wretched mouths and fools' lips all alike
Built for me a house upon demise
Even legion
Lacks a space
For me
Apophatic
Entropy

YOUR COMPROMISE
06:16
|
|||
|
A SPECTRAL INVASION
ASSAULT ON OUR MINDS
A WHITE FOG REPURPOSING LIGHT
INVERTED SHADOW TO ENFOLD
BLOOD SPILLED
BLOOD RUSHING THROUGH US
BLASPHEMY MEANS NOTHING
WHEN RIGHTEOUSNESS IS INERT
ALL IS NOT (WITH)
COERCED DESPAIR AND DISSENSION
ALL ARE LOST
BEGGING FOR A PEACE TO DECLARE
WHEN THERE'S A WAR TO BE FOUGHT
STUCK, RACING HEART, SITTING QUIET AIR
MIND HIJACKED BY MISANTHROPIC ABUSE
YOU DIG GRAVES FOR US ALL
DRAG US, VIOLENCE, (THINLY VEILED ARGUMENT)
WORDS, MEANINGLESS, YOU JUST WANT US KILLED
WRETCH, SPEAKING DEATH, SHRUG YOUR SHOULDERS AGAIN
WE JUSTIFY
OUR EXISTENCE
BREATH TESTIFIES (DON'T TURN YOUR EYES AWAY)
DECOLONIZE
UNWRITE YOUR MIND
CRUELTY AND LIES (FUCK HOLLOW EMPATHY)
DON'T BE SURPRISED
NOWHERE TO HIDE
WHEN WATERS RISE (KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING)
YOUR ARROGANCE
"THIS TOO SHALL PASS"
ASSUMES THERE'S TIME (NOW, THIS IS HAPPENING)
FOOL
ONLY YOUR CHILDREN
CHOKE
ON EMPTY PROMISES
CRY
FOR ABSOLUTION
MONEY IS FOR SLAVERY
CROSSES ARE FOR MURDERING
EVERYONE WILL DIE ALONE
WHEN WE ONLY DO WHAT WE ARE TOLD
SIDES STILL AT ODDS, REJECT AND PROJECT
A WRETCHED GAME (KEEP PULLING-THE STRINGS)
YOU MAKE SLAVES OF US ALL
DRAG US, VIOLENCE (WORKING CLASS SUFFERING)
FALSE SYMPATHY, PURE VITRIOL
IT'S ALL THE SAME (IT'S ALL THE SAME)
SUCH PETTINESS
EVADES ALL SENSE
THIS IS OUR LIVES (DON'T TURN YOUR EYES AWAY)
YOU'VE MADE YOUR POINT
YOU'VE HAD YOUR LAUGH
HEART DEAD LIKE MIND (FUCK FASCIST BIGOTRY)
WE VICTIMS OF
RELENTLESS HATE
COME TO DESPISE (KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING)
YOUR COMFORT AND
COMPLACENCY
FUEL FOR OUR FIRES (NOW, THIS IS HAPPENING)
FOOL
ONLY YOUR CHILDREN
CHOKE
ON EMPTY PROMISES
CRY
FOR ABSOLUTION
MONEY IS FOR SLAVERY
CROSSES ARE FOR MURDERING
POWER STRUGGLE, APATHY
THRIVE ON INEQUALITY
APOCALYPSE IS YOUR COMPROMISE
APOCALYPSE TWISTS YOUR TONGUE INTO SPITE
WEAPONIZED IGNORANCE AND EGO STROKING
WEAPONIZED FEAR OF EVER HAVING COMPASSION
REPULSION OF HATRED
TREE RESISTING THIS PARASITE
CREATURES OF EARTH, SKY, AND NIGHT
INTERWEAVING A WEB OF RESISTANCE
BLOOD SPILLED
BLOOD RUSHING THROUGH US
WE WAIT FOR NO SIGN, WE KNOW THE THREAT
WE STRIKE
ALL RESOLVE
CLEAR OUT THEIR INSIDIOUS LIES
ALL MUST THRIVE
BENEVOLENT COMMUNITY, WE RISE

CINDERS
04:23
|

|
THE CINDERS START TO CATCH
IN THE DRY GRASS LEFT UNQUENCHED
AS I TAKE MY FIRST BREATH
TWISTING INTO THE AIR OF THE WEST
NO ANIMAL CAN FLEE ME
NO FOUR WALLS TO PROTECT
POISONOUS FLESH FUMES
CREEPING DEATH
CONSUMING THE POOR
THAT YOU HAVE LEFT
THE SACRED LANDS, THE DISPLACED CARETAKERS
WILL BE REDUCED
ALL TO ASH
FOR YOUR DESTINIES AND BIRTHRIGHTS
I WILL NOT YIELD
TO FALLING DUST AND WATER CANNONS
ALL TO ASH
ALL TO ASH
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
YOUR MONEY CAN SNUFF MY LIGHT?
CAST YOUR BLAME UPON
YOUR OWN INSUFFERABLE BLIGHT
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
YOUR TEARS CAN DOUSE MY MIGHT?
YOUR ANCESTORS HAVE DRAINED THE WELL
AND LEFT YOU TO BURN
FILLED IT WITH PLASTIC
AND LEFT YOU TO BURN
FILLED IT WITH GAS
LEFT YOU TO BURN
FIRST THE DESERT FIELDS
THEN THE PINES OF GREEN
YOU WILL LOSE YOUR HOMES
AND HAVE NO FOOD TO EAT
THE HAZE NOW STARTS TO DRIFT
ACROSS THE MIGHTY PLAINS
YOU THINK THAT THIS WILL END
JUST BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH SPACE?
LAUNCH YOUR PRIDE INTO THE AIR
THE SOUNDS SO SWEETLY SIMILAR
AS CLIMATE MIGRANTS FILL YOUR STREETS
YOU WILL KILL FOR AIR TO BREATHE
BREATHE DEEP

THE LEGACY OF JUDGEMENT
IS THE NAIL BEATEN DOWN WITH BARE HANDS
THE LEGACY OF JUSTICE
IS A HILTLESS BLADE SWUNG
THE LEGACY OF INNOCENCE
IS THE MOLD FESTERING WITHIN TROPHIED FRUITS
THE LEGACY OF SACRIFICE
IS THE FORGOTTEN TOMB OF MASSACRE
WITHDRAW NOBILITY
FROM THE LEGACY OF POSSESSION,
WITHDRAW NOBILITY
FROM THE LEGACY OF PUNISHMENT,
FROM THE LEGACY OF SUFFERING
FROM THE POISONED PLOT
THE ROOTS ARE ROTTEN
THE SEEDS JUST SPREAD DISEASE
A FALLEN STAR FROM THE JUDAS TREE
