lyrics

All along the spiral fate unfolds
This world a silent prison
Tired visions manifest
Contented with obliteration
All the corruption that’s been conjured up
We carry out in turn
Dead end cycle only fit
To live in accordance
with their heart’s contempt
The wasteful prodigies have Prospects
to deliver
to the towers
Seat of graves and malice for the flesh slaves
The sacred band,
crushed to pieces by a tenth
Decimation Spiral, forever after
sterile symmetries and dreams
Make the pagesshiver and bleed
Andbeat a tenth to death
As long as there’s any feelings left
The tape clicks indifference
Poisoning allwords and visions
Soon they’ll be
a record of perdition
All along the spiral blackened pyres
Drench the world in coal and ash
All the voices never quite heard
screaming centuries of agony
The tape may roar indifference
The eye has unlearned sympathy.
Decimation is the fate of these days.
Coiling blackened suns and imagined catastrophe
every record grinds towards completion
No more need for mercy.
A capacity
Useless
In a world of jaded gods
longing for a thrill.
The eye can learn again,
To let history be history.
The eye has unlearned sympathy.
Every record grinds toward completion
Building up to one truth perhaps
All is flux and all will be dust.
The decision of what shall live,
what shall die...
Choices
beaten senseless by the passage of time.
Legacies of a tenth of decline.
Choices beaten senseless by the passage of time.
Legacies of a tenth of decline.
Building up to one truth perhaps
All is flux
and
all will be dust.
The touch of decimation until there’s nothing more to grasp.
A grand display of tranquility
neatly organized
While the dark creeps inside,
drowns out the taste of light.
The tape goes click..click..click...
And mercifully runs out.
