INTO DUST BECOMING

 

Til time’s arrow

Strikes my throat

Steels my breath

Cracks my bones

 

Let me swallow the sun

And devour the stars

Looking skyward

With no malice

Into dust becoming

 

Are we really alive?

Were we ever alive?

 

Til the shadow

Clouds my eye

Stops my heart

Steals my light

 

Let me reach through this life

And inhale the blaze

Looking skyward

With no grievance

Into dust becoming

 

Are we really alive?

Were we ever alive?

 

Let me swallow the sun

And devour the stars

 

When the arrow

Strikes me down

When the arrow

Strikes me down

 

ONE IS TWO

 

In this split age

The one is gone

See the truth

To both we’re drawn

 

Are we destruction

Are we creation

Or are we both

Pure and abberation

 

One

One is two

One

One is two

 

Of praise or shame

Of peace and war

Always want

More and more

 

Are we beast

Are we man

Or are we both

Saved and damned

 

One

One is two

One

One is two

 

Let the selves free

The severed glow bleeds

As we bend and see

The two are both beast

 

One

One is two

One

One is two

 

Let the selves free

The severed glow bleeds

As we bend and see

The two are both beast

 

IN STARLESS REIGN

 

From dust into atom

From life into rift 

From cell into man

From hand into fist

 

Dead pitch black

This mortal plague

A dead low tide

In starless reign

 

Can’t see the forest

Through all these trees

Eyes on the riches

As the husk seethes

 

Dead pitch black

This mortal plague

A dead low tide

In starless reign

 

We carved spears into bombs

All our hands aimed to god

 

Hot nights in the dripping north

And we are the slayer

Burning skin in the dripping heat

And we are the victim

 

Dead pitch black

This mortal plague

A dead low tide

In starless reign

 

Just wild apes

We kill and spew

And yell and scream

Without a clue

 

Where we’re from

Or where we go

Where we’re from

Or where we go

 

TEETH TO SKY 

 

In rite of storm

With our hands raised

Black wind comes

Embrace the rain

 

With teeth to sky

Come monsoon

Scrape the shell

Of grime and gloom

 

Be one with you

Be pure again

Our shell is breaking

We let you in

 

Monsoon

Shed our skin

Open

Our minds again

 

Under split sky

In thick dark sweat

Black storm comes

To cleanse and shed

 

With teeth to sky

Come monsoon

Scrape the shell

Of grime and gloom

 

With arms bent back

You coat our skin

We shine in black

We let you in

 

Monsoon

Shed our skin

Open

Our minds again

 

Teeth to sky

Teeth to sky

 

Come monsoon

We’re dripping

Exquisite

 

In your arms

We’re changing

Exquisite

 

In your rain

We glimmer

Exquisite

 

In your breath

We shiver 

Exquisite

 

Teeth to 

Teeth to sky

 

OUR SERPENT IN CIRCLE

 

Ouroboros

When we fall

Will we swallow your myth

When we fall

 

Conceived you in the moonlight

With horn and vengeance

Our weakness

 

Your endless power reigns

So beautiful

So hungry

 

With your shine

A brilliant blaze

Immaculate

In awe we praise

 

With fury

We swallow

Our serpent in circle

 

Ouroboros

When we fall

Will we eat your myth

When we fall

 

The wars in your name

For stories we wove

So senseless

 

In fear of fear

In fear of pain forever

In fear of you

 

With your shine

A brilliant blaze

Immaculate

In awe we praise

 

Your endless power reigns

Can’t save ourselves

From ourselves

 

With fury

We swallow

Our serpent in circle

With fury

We swallow

Our serpent in circle

 

Ouroboros

When we fall

Will we swallow your myth

When we fall

 

When we fall

When we fall

When we fall

 

LONE BLUE VALE

 

Saviors heroes and thieves

Corruption cruelty and war for dirt

Destroyers sinners and saints

On pale blue world in cold black space

 

Famine wealth and gold

Affection kindness and war for god

Euphoria love and hate

On pale blue world in cold black space

 

Pale

Blue

Fragile earth

 

Lone

World

In black void

 

Lone blue vale

Lone blue vale

 

Saviors heroes and thieves

Corruption cruelty and war for dirt

Destroyers sinners and saints

On pale blue world in cold black space

 

Alone in void

Alone in void

Alone in void

Alone in void

LANDSCAPE OF THORNS

 

There’s no language

In these spikes

No honor left

Only death inside

 

In these silent fields

With no lives to mourn

Our final gift

Landscape of thorns

 

The poison grows

Deep in the center

Glows through the eons

Here forever

 

Bestowed

To the future

One last language

Of dishonor

 

In these silent fields

With no lives to mourn

Our final gift

Landscape of thorns

 

Are we damaged

Full of thorns

Of boiling sea

Of smog and scorn

 

Or can we change

With shining mind

Aware of self

Of land and time

 

Are we damaged

Full of thorns

Of boiling sea

Of smog and scorn

 

Or can we change

With shining mind

Aware of self

Of land and time

 

ILLUMINE

 

With death we wander

The starlight

Far beyond our sun

With eyes wide

 

And the dead sing

Illumine

Into nothing

Illumine

 

And we sing

One last hymn

Bright spark

As we drift

To the end 

Come dark

 

In time

We are

Zero

 

Here at the end

There is no grief

Here where the stars bend

And the void speaks

 

And the dead sing

Illumine

Into nothing

Illumine

 

And we sing

One last hymn

Bright spark

As we drift

To the end 

Come dark

 

In time

We are

Zero

 

In time

We are

Zero

 

The vipers are howling

The wolves agaze

The kingdom is trembling

At our last days

 

With grace we drift

Away on

With heart of light

And death song

 

So let us drift on

In one last bright burn

To become zero

To become nothing

 

The light will stretch

As we pass the divide

And Death leads us

From life into night

 

Illumine

And we sing

Illumine

To nothing

 

Illumine

And we sing

Illumine

To nothing

 

DEVOUR / COLLIDE

 

The hopeless are coiled

Crushing accusing

Decaying and wild

We are insects in hiding

 

A malefic affection

Of empyrean rust

The attrition conspires

Consuming our grudge

 

Embrace the ruin

Devour collide

When the beasts dissolve

The meek revive

 

Horizons of color abound

Explode and thrive

Safe in the static

Warm in the hive

 

No gods no devils

Only noise and scars

No sacred symbols

Only time and stars

 

Embrace the ruin

Devour collide

When the beasts dissolve

The meek revive

 

The hopeless are coiled

Crushing accusing

Decaying and wild

We are insects in hiding

 

Malefic affection

Of empyrean rust

The attrition conspires

Consuming our grudge

 

Embrace the ruin

Devour collide

When the beasts dissolve

The meek revive

 

Devour collide

Devour collide

Devour collide

Devour collide

 

ALL WE DESTROY

 

Crash down

God and sky

Human eye bring

Death and desire

We have failed

Failed everything

Our fragile earth

Is screaming

 

All we destroy

All we’ve become

 

Slick with

Sludge and crime

The black filth

Defines us

 

We are gods

Gods of war

And haze

There is nothing

We can’t raze

 

All we destroy

All we’ve become

 

We’ve been adorned

With blood and gems

In this endless

Concrete expanse

 

Where nothing crawls

And nothing grows

This is where desire

Eats us whole

 

All we destroy

All we’ve become

All we destroy

All we’ve become

 

DEAD EYE

 

Rest

In the warm blue haze

As our time here

Descends in disgrace

 

Over the fallen

The creatures see

The mirror empire

Reflected enemy

 

This land was home

Now nothing lives

Speak in tongues

Of buried myth

 

In our dead-eye

The end divides

 

Restless night 

Come alive

The wretched drift

The pale lights shines

 

Out where our hope lives

On borrowed time

Horizons glare

Our eyes alive

 

This land was home

Now nothing lives

Speak in tongues

Of buried myth

 

In our dead-eye

The end divides

 

The broken mirror

Shapes and shifts

Severed tongues

Spread your myth

 

Lost you in the haze

Of ash and fire

It’s all i see

It’s pulling us down

 

Dead world on fire

Our red hands devour

Everything all we keep

Everything all we see

 

The broken mirror

Shapes and shifts

Severed tongues

Spread your myth

 

With our red hands

With our red hands

With our red hands

With our red hands

 

IN RADIANT GLOW

 

Hollow men eye

Their world on fire

Black-eyed visions writhe

Drift behind them

 

Miasma purified

In scarlet glow

Another rite in flames

Bring down the sway

 

Reshaping

Unfolding

The raven smog is glowing

Becoming alive

As the red sky ignites

 

The dead won’t die

Their wretched

Flesh ascends

In radiant glow

They are calling

 

A fetid cloud of souls

Desolate air on fire

Baptized by smog

Lay us down

 

Reshaping

Unfolding

The raven smog is glowing

Becoming alive

As the red sky ignites

 

Hollow men eye

Their world on fire

Black-eyed shadows rise

Drift behind them

 

Cold death rays shine

Old Death seize me

The end is in sight

As the dawn sees our last day

 

Reshaping

Unfolding

The raven smog is glowing 

Becoming alive

As the red sky ignites
