Drown
05:42

Burning fields up on the hillside
Devouring lives with no names
Hiding the young in the flames
They flicker gold like a low hanging star
At a distance entrancing me
To the promise it couldn't keep
Past the glow I refused to see
Closing in to its face...
To see the human frames
I cower and turn away
And hide behind your effigies
There is no passing by
Everything is now aligned
Standing on an axis
The lines rats crawl
There's nowhere to run
Shards of torment crushed by feet
On lands dulled by embers
Rushed blood streams through water
To push you down
Is to drown with you
To push you down
Is to drown with you
Could the innocent screams
Warmth of last exhalations
Thaw the glare of ice
Over whites of eyes?
Passivation
It's different now
Rendered inertial
To the heat of life so violent
Terrible singularity
So tangible seducing
Stepping forward
Into endless death
To push you down
Is to drown with you
To push you down
Is to drown with you
To push you down
Is to drown with you
To push you down
Is to drown with you

Eyes of Pripyat
06:15
|

The pale blue specter of infinite release
Racing endless through dark heavens
Cast upon the eyes of Pripyat
Onslaught through their flesh
Tearing through their skin
To marrow in their bones
Life transmogrified
Shearing life's bonds
Violence is sowed
By Malevolent energy
Gehenna ruptures forth to the center of the Earth
Lake of eternal decay
Cursed cruel birth begot by cold indifference
Fulminant power escapes
Breaking…
Through...
Their failing...
Grasp
Crumbling
From within
There is no evading
This rapturous torture
Hope of man
Made his undoing
And now
Succumbing
To the end
Of biological coherence:
Cellular disintegration
Silent storm of radiant suffering
As it burned like the Sun
They walked in it's flares
Vanished in its corona
Past the smoke-filled stairs
Silent storm of radiant suffering

Swarming Skies Ravenous
05:48
|

Swarming skies ravenous
Into them our fathers vanished
Their atmosphere embracing this orphaned Earth
Blur of infinite forms diffuse through each other
What's there to make sense of?
We are only half-awake.
Drifting mindless state to state, forgetting we give shape...
To what we fear.
Fear: A push against the chest, A crushing of the breath
Silence strained through in place of words
We disconnect
Stitch back ruptured seams
Hide in those dreams...
Half-escaped
That fading phosphorescence
That embalms the mind
Numbing it from acceptance
Acid rain into open eyes
Everything that feels so real
Feels like it's alive
You think this light is yours to keep
It only left you blind
What's there to make sense of?
You are only half-awake
Crawling over page by page
You won't find your truth pleading for answers
In communion with the hungry sky
It's you I'll immolate in sacrifice
Setting fire to your scribes writing claims on other lives
Heaven's dissolving rains will answer your ashes' prayers
