Ouroborous
03:54
|
|
||
Where are we now?
Nothing to show
For their sacrifice
Tragic rise then demise
Wearing ourselves thin
Shedding lives
Shedding skin
Sinking teeth to tail just to stay alive
Slithering contortion
This cycle never ends
Rusting repetition
This timeline never bends
(Sedentary by omission
Devoid of primal instincts
Perpetual disappointment of your own volition)

Survey The Wreckage
03:02
|
|
||
Rethink your culture of greed
Taking all you want
Refusing your needs
Disown contentions
Release contentions
Destroying what you claim to love
(What you claim to love)
Acid rain travels from the nape of your neck
Down to the small of your spine
Sticks of dynamite
Destructed habitats
Survey the wreckage
Deserted oceans
Infested landfills
Survey the wreckage
Survey the wreckage
Survey the wreckage

Apex Predator
02:49
|
|
||
Sands wearing thin
Cutting circulation
From wrists to beneath bow of chin
Grains of regret
Echo existence squandered
Control as if from G-d
By a force that doesn't exist
Hands of biding time
Leave no resolve to resist
Apex predator leaves us winding
Pregnant with fear
To spend remaining days
Punctuated by red lights
Fighting the sun both ways

Invasive Species
03:16
|
|
||
In constant rearrangement
Who can no longer fear?
New beasts infest tidepools
Crashing waves resort to cool
Crumbling leaves, Gaea grieves
Humans are the invasive species
Annihilation to pacify
Castration to mollify
Let the lands cry out
They silently beg
Us to quietly retreat
On hind legs
Fauna and flora grieve
We are the invasive species

Overgrown Tomb
04:00
|
|
||
Heirs of lament emanate from now barren womb
New life rises
Parasitic ash blown away
Scavenger birds circling overgrown tomb
Dementors' bones and flesh
Fertilizing to atone
With savages dead and buried
Sylvan beasts restore order alone
Self-imposed plagues bring destruction
By no will but our own
Prophecy written in nature, not in stone
Terra firma, take my body to rectify
For all that man has done
|

Abrupt Decay
02:11
|
|
||
It's a heavy weight to bear
These slights because you're here
Harsh awakening by resentment
Swallowing yourself whole
Belly up in a storm
That you reaped and sowed
Taking more than what you're owed
For many years ahead,
Maybe your rest of them,
You'll remember this moment
Beg yourself why
Watch it all waste away
Abrupt decay
Decimated, violated
Abrupt decay
Watch it all waste away
Abrupt decay
Ill fated men sated
Abrupt decay

Ultimate Price
02:49
|
|

A grudge is not a crutch
But a foundation to live upon
Refuse to forgive until you hate
Begin to chip away
At what we what we once were
Dust away the weak parts
Channel the stream
Rain water runs into crevices
Raising hairs on cool stones
Eroding remnants of old semblance
The heat has come again
Splinter, pop, crack at the roots
Exasperation we all know too well
A grudge is not a crutch
But a foundation to live upon
Disrupt our foundation
Dismantle old beginnings
Rearrange encircling faults beyond recognition

Path To Exile
04:33
|
|
||
Speechless mermaid wilts to bones
Time erodes naïvety
Breathless to discharge shackled moans
Abandoned as all patience and hope
We've razed the deepest depths
Catering to the shallowest needs
Meniscus serves as a mirror
Polluted skies reflect tarred sands
Ominous, burgeoning blood moon expands
Baring homes as wasteland
The sea has no voice to cry for halt
She only speaks in vengeance
Canopied in sparkling scales
Rank crests recede
Too little now, too late
Men retreat to no avail
Tarred and feathered, shores to sand
From whence we came to where we end

Power Lines
03:21
|
|
||
Power lines suffocate the city horizon
Sun asphyxiates before it even arises
Habitats abiding to scum human reigns
Man's shadow dominates the plains
Long mechanical fingers grasp at the banes
Stirring, disturbing the nests
Seeds of pestilence
They will not forgive
Their bending branches refuse to break
They will grow into resilience
(Resilience)
Swine's blood drains into city streams
Drown the dirty animals in deserving disease
Swine's blood drains into city streams
Drown the dirty animals in deserving disease
