Mortal Clay

Fleeting, what once was mine
A sacrilegious sacrifice slowing to a flat line
Dueling bonds, consequential conflict
Broken by the differences that define us romantics
Bound by lock and key
Disrupting thee
And all I see
Are ashes and misery
Now the fire burns out
Dusk, the dust of lost love
In madness, aggression
The fire burns out
The fuel has run out
Unpaid dues
Lost connections
Forever rued

Fear Not, Want Not
03:04
|

Voices call, the struggle of right and wrong
They tell me to strike, and they go on and on
The mallet slams, a final judgment
What good are they? My son, they're heaven sent
Fear Not, Want Not
Dare not by lost in salvation
Fear Not, Want Not
Go on and talk, give the reason--
--You cannot sleep, your tongue dries to stone
Lost in its lies, in a truth it only knows
Mockery of speeches, from blood, it will leech
Preserve it now, for my son, it will not keep
You're trusting in your ruling
I'm trusting in my dram
When the bottle is empty,
It ain't worth a damn

Echo Chamber

Trust in meaning, call it believing
But please, call it what you will
An empty feeling, your mind is reeling
It's lost in its own bullshit
Your thoughts and your feelings
Keep you and yours divided
Your consciousness and programs
Echo your own lies
The passing of the power
Between those and what you know
Barrel through your mind like
A beckoning echo
When the crowds of people have the same decaying voice as you
Give up hope for thinking of yourself as an arbiter of truth
Freedom costs your being free
On our backs, unsaddled seats
Power treats empowered beings
It’s your world, it’s not for me

Locusts
04:00
|

Darkness, the illusion of where I've roamed
Tempted by a place that I once called home
Removed from the shrine of the locust's nest
Flung from the cache down from your neck
Remorse -- in the undertow
Realization -- and now I know
The promise of abstination
Broken by your temptation
Greed has poisoned our souls and corrupted our minds
Barricaded the world with hate in our eyes
Cattle of the machine, to be wasted life
But it's not for me, and it's not for mine
Light, not found
Snuffing the depths of your head, of your hands, and your heart
Walk, the path
Abolish the presence of this hell
Walk, the path
Abolish the premise of a wall
With unfettered notions of who's to blame
I know that your conscience still echoes my name.

Slave to Structure
03:50
|
|||
With the groans of the dying
Countrymen with nothing gained
Left their lungs black and broken
In eternity enslaved
We've been enslaved
By the word of our forefathers
On a chosen path
Will you stand or will you crumble?
In this Western mass.
It's their blueprint, not mine
When you're young, til you die
We are all on this structured
Fucking way of life
We've been enslaved
Not to be swayed to obey
Not to be tamed to obey
Not to be sold by the masters
Force fed the will to the masses
Burn their rule at the pyre
Forged by obedient fire

Insanarchy
04:46
|
|||
Blessed light shine down on me
Deliver me from apathy
Cast down, a perfect stone
Given this world to thrive alone
Your flesh and disease
The broken hold:
Insanarchy
I've nothing to hide,
I've nothing to say
You've given me life and I fear that you'll take it away
I'm biding my time
In total dismay
You've promised me pleasure but totally cloaked me in pain
Love lusts for a restful place
Promised by a dying grace
Sanctuary in an unsafe place
Now there’s nothing left.. In this site
