Lethean Thirst
05:42
|
|
||
lifeless days
writhe and crawl
staggering on the edge
longing to fall
short on sleep
devoid of dreams
eager to drown
in lethean streams
oblivion bound
off the shore
below the waves
reaching clarity
as tomorrow fades
drifting downwards
into the depths
thirst to destruct
never quenched
oblivion bound

Cycles
04:46
|
|
||
identical cycles
churn through the motions
rise and fall
birth and decay
of empires, of men
all shall sink
into corrosion
we will never learn
we do not deserve to break this
meaningless cycles
churn through the motions
rise and fall
birth and decay
of empires, of men
all shall sink
into ruination
an ever-choking ouroboros
chained to an endless fall
perpetual cycles
churn through the motions
rise and fall
birth and decay
of empires, of men
all shall sink
into nothing
we will never learn
we do not deserve to break this

Denial
08:36
|
|
||
the dawning horror
standing in front
of a mountain
of a star
of a god
of your death
of your own making
turn away and deny
deny it forever
it will devour you
leave your land withered and barren
leave your body broken and dying
the unspeakable terrors
of your mind
pale in comparison
to what you've wrought

Temples
07:04
|
|
||
scorch the fields
houses of men tremble
poison the wells
tear down their temples
roaming through dead cities
past relics of shattered order
beneath the cleansing veil
contorted limbs like statues
breathless calm
a world in embers
circle complete
inauguration of a new temple
|
||||

Ruin
07:39
|
|
||
firm foundation
of failures past
decaying facade
no use to maintain
building a wreck
a waste to call home
a crumbling monument
to failures to come
shrines of filth
devoted to defeat
raising a ruin
a hole to die in
