Buried by the Past
03:00
|
|||
I came out of the womb
just like you
suffering too
I was buried in the past
I was buried in the past
And the shelter made of woods
Taken by wolves
Just like you
I was buried in the past
I was buried in the past
go
like the virgin lost to sea
these things are all lost to me
like the virgin lost to sea
these things are all lost to me
an infant crowned the seed
how could it be
something to me
I was buried in the past
I was buried in the past
as the world is melting from
exhaustion
felled villain
I was buried in the past
I was buried in the past go
planting a withering seed
these things are all lost to me
planting a withering seed
these things are all lost to me

Born Against
02:23
|
|||
born agains bled out soon
they were all wet
stood glaring at the moon
howling on fire
howling on fire
it’s the only way they’ll go
burning dystopia
is what I bring
in hallowed winter night
thrashing a martyr
thrashing a martyr
it’s the only way they’ll go
I will stray from the pack
dissecting a human skull
I was put on this earth to resurrect you
fleeing in pallid droves
hounds chew their bones
follow them in the frozen night
catch them on fire
catch them on fire
it’s the only way they’ll go
queen of a calloused age
in freeze deep death
she whimpers their delight
thrashing a martyr thrashing a martyr
it’s the only way they’ll go
I will lay on my back
sacrificed into a star
I was put on this earth to resurrect you

Mt. Oblivion
01:15
|
|||
who took the matches
from the camp fire
hibernating people
drinking blood
when they are dreaming
sleeping too long
underneath the snow caps
counting all their heads
while they are scratching at the ceiling
who wouldn’t lie atop mount oblivion
our hands held out high towards a burning heaven
will they survive this
cosmic colored vision now
isolated members lingering in cold devotion
a silent dog fight
turning meat to human flesh
hunger is their resource
hunger is their resource
(chorus repeat)

Pillar of Smoke
01:56
|
|||
I could be a savior
or I could be a joke
I could be a storm cloud
or death wish
but I’m pillar of smoke
pillar of smoke
pillar of smoke
pillar of smoke
I await the rapture to leave my ass behind
I churn around the skies with a lonely hollow mind
Im pillar of smoke
pillar of smoke
pillar of smoke
pillar of smoke
the weeds crawl round my feet
and turn me inside out
I’m like a dog in heat
when I shout
I’m a pillar of smoke
pillar of smoke
pillar of smoke
pillar of smoke
black cats fighting over a rat
forget- instinct and tacit pact
aching- that rat belongs to none
that it is just there for the one
(repeat verse 1)

Day of Leftovers
02:49
|
|||
Millions of people
screaming in harmony
waiting for their chance to break sacrifice
blood drains the store fronts
of spectacle evil
the day of leftovers
has come to pass
creeping in windows
the creatures from nature
are culling the weak
devour their prey
and a blind light bleaches out the skyline
the people’s heads all roll on down the mountain
(verse repeat)
(chorus repeat)
the executioner is a cleaner
of the exalted brain deceiver
faulted bodies lie broke and bound
under that triple headed hell hound
and anchored to the open river
denizens comply with a quiver
to stars all burdened as a cypher
(the land upon the early hour)

Dress Shoes
03:14
|
|||
take a man’s scalp
pull it off clean
how could he
have seen you coming
said oh
put your dress shoes on oh
how many dogs could my love feed
well god just has to wait and see
tonight
put your dress shoes on
it’s just inside his head
there is a devil inside
like a big black bird
spreading its awful wings well
piled ashed of burning effigies
scattered through the moonlit street
tonight
put your dress shoes on
drag the hot coals over my feet
but do it slow cause I need you
tonight
put your dress shoes on
(chorus repeat)
how could you bless this tomb
in ecstasy like the womb
the winds are howling and I break away from earth
how many lives must I live
(repeat verse 1)
(chorus repeat)
How could you bless this tomb
in ecstasy like the womb
the winds are howling
and I break away from earth
how many lives must I live
how long have the chariots drug me behind
and their will would never break
I was lost in the forest society could bring
and I burned down the whole thing

Redemption
02:01
|
|||
What was her name
what did they say
apple forced inside her mouth
coated in plaster shell
languid in her bright white house
how did she learn
languages
carved into the midnight moon
spectral powers
breathing spells on the arcane loom
redemption
redemption
there is no agent of
redemption
redemption
she carved a face
in the stone
of a mountain falling down
into a crevice
gaping at the breaking black clouds
so shell fell
down to hell
like a frozen open maw
reaper’s hand outstretched
gesture to accept her soul
accept her
accept her
offer it as tribute
accept her
accept her
offer it as tribute
accept her
accept her
offer…
a
a
so long
ago
she wailed
she never came out that hole
that hole
she wailed forever

Mannequin
01:35
|
|||
mephisto woke
stared in the mannequin’s dead eyes
carved in lead
pupils they spread
stripped down to his bone disguise
he said
wait here for me
on the black day
mephisto spoke out to the skies
heart beat dread
covered in red
he melted in the swelling sighs
he said
wait here for me

Vessel
03:14
|
|||
earth appears to me
like a dry and sleepless dream
and as far as the eye can see
there’s a vessel void of all things living
mind plays tricks on me
and it’s no wonder why I can’t see
that as far as the eyes can see
there’s a vessel void of all things living
ground is cracked, replete
of all earthly teeming things
and it’s no problem to me
that there’s a vessel void of all things living
I crawl on nails and weeds
looking for substance to feed
yet my eyes don't deceive me
when there’s a vessel void of all things living
I struggle to recall you
but your face is hard to place too
where as far as the eye can see
there’s a vessel devoid of things
(repeat last)
void of things

Golden Boy
01:47
|
|||
the forest is catching on fire
caught him with a pocket knife in his stomach
who took him out for a joy ride
drug that boy to hell in a roller coaster go
what’s happened to his blank purity now?
buried him deep under the overpass
covered his feet with a patch of grass
now he peeks out from under the snow
golden boy comes up from the ground
how many people saw him that night
fuck faces turned up to the light said go
whats happened to his blank purity now
he’s become half earth half man
a mindless wanderer with no plan
he haunts all the creatures in the night
staring at the moon crying ffffffuck
(repeat second chorus)

Preacher of Death
02:00
|
|||
listen to the preacher of death give his dark sermon
crawling on his back he’s sipping from the fountain
his words closing in around your face
hearkening the ghost when it falls into a slumber
preaching new shit then it sends me on my way
his words closing in around your face
(break)
pallid and lifeless the congregation listens
meditate on death to get them through their day
his words are closing in around your face
pouring a new toxin in his deep black precept
feasting on a sheep the temple starts to pray
his words are closing in around your face
(verse1)
