The Descent 02:56
lyrics
buy track
In that cave we dwell Many are compelled To tell stories To ourselves Sinister shadow Energy follow Invented in strangers eyes God is a devil Drunk on a bad day The bastard, lead you astray Destructive Angels In Paradise Destructive Angels, let’s play nice I don’t think of him, as a lover More like a king with a ransom letter Copper and ash We place value on the dead Arrange the text Provided in scraps Motionless toy Motionless toy Motionless toy Motionless toy First, gather the troops, at the gate I offer my tongue I seek Knowledge of the divine ones Brass like light Emerge from my knife Have no concern for the deaf Who have not heard They don’t know judgement yet The hymn of the time is murder Cosmic dread The long descent

The Plague Dance 02:27
lyrics

There was a plague that came to town It claimed all those who danced around For days they did not rest I broke my neck, but I must persist Beat me to death with my own legs I see a child in a mask Hands raised, hoping to forget Black Spider Bone called on the telephone Hair is raised and it's not my own The ones you love smile when you're gone I saw a man with seashells on his back He said it keeps him safe from his past His eyes were bleak but known to me He seem fit to join my cavalry His role will be great in wars to come So they crowned me king and I took may aim Made a dance, so sad it will kill them all There was a plague that came to town It claimed all those who danced around For days they did not rest I broke my neck but I must persist Beat me to death with my own legs

The Spirit of Terror 02:43
lyrics

We don’t last long We don’t last long They said it’s going to take a long time Harvesting death In my casual decline I’m just another one of the godless soldiers And I’m lonely man I think I’m late to a funeral I think I’ll write a letter to the deceased I made no toxic children I want to be a villain I’ll kill you in your sleep Tell you to keep pretending When those trees, they grow in And we finish that fence Then we’ll have better friends Shut up you dumb fuck Don’t second guess my thoughts I’m just getting settled in My mind draws unspeakable things In black cat India ink Hung from my neck, unread text I’m divorced from reality If I can’t survive, goodbye this is my beautiful evidence If I can’t survive, goodbye this is my beautiful evidence We don’t last long We don’t last long

Eleusis 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Moonlit summer stole the night Young men gathered all the wives The house was raging The masses fled All of the lions Fed on the dead Ceremonial Soldier, Holy Warrior Ceremonial Soldier, Holy Warrior We stabbed the stars We drowned our sons We created gods And we were wrong Troubled cowards posing as men All the bastards left their children Death’s compassion For the creatures she kills Becomes The Reason The cost of free will Costumed and masked We fuck and dance And deplete the world Over again Ceremonial Soldier, Holy Warrior Ceremonial Soldier, Holy Warrior The long internal war Don’t give in, don’t let it win Don’t bring that on yourself Funerals for someone else Don’t bring that on yourself Funerals for someone else

The Path of Souls 01:51
lyrics
buy track
No I cant just sit back and do what you ask Place value on appearance of the dead presidents You get up It’s what you get to do And letting go, when you have excuse Life is hard and death is easy The path of souls Talking lightly One hundred thousand things In my head Living rent free You’re not what you Are pretending to be I took down my brother And his luck to be Good thing you can’t do What I’ve done to me Did you know I speak of unspeakable things

The Tide 03:31
lyrics
buy track
My eyes they never close Our names they are so hollow My ship is sunk beneath the sand My nation is still drowning There is a curtain over me Left by my once fierce darling I left a rose right on her grave Hoping that this curse will leave me We all are born with air to keep Yet all burn for sympathy My wife she yearns, she calls to me I’ll join her now I’ll never leave 6 feet below, my darling To whom I once gave everything I know she wasn’t mine to give But now I sleep I sailed the 7 seas I found nothing to give me peace Suicide was an attempt Never to succeed It just kept me from sleep
