lyrics

Skies made of scars,
black fields nurtured,
by the blood of a million men,
rotten corpses painting the horizon
stagnation eclipsed by war fervor
flesh boiled off of bones the tired wartorn chique
Histories of righteous light
proven wrong by indifference.
Kill everything that doesn’t kill it’s all they know. 2x
You can try to see the light but you’ll only find the maw.
You can try to see the light but you’ll only find the maw staring back.
Finally the means to end all beginnings.
The strain counts the last emissions from your face,
Counts the stains of centuries misplaced,
This hollow fabric tears, in abject failure.
Itemized and sterilized, callous cries and lies lies lies. 2x
Cauterized and civilized, 2x
callous cries and nothing but lies.
They fall like rain from every orifice
Disformed doors emerge fate’s crooked teeth.
These days fear is a bygone dream it’s been burnt out of me. 2x
Whipped into function from a life that knew none,
Stasis and inhibition, to waste and segregate.
It all crumbles.
Built on ruins and skeletons.
Our histories of incessant failure.
All is dust.
All...
