Titan Slug
07:29
|

Slow but relentlessly
with no morality
the biggest psychopath
seen in three centuries
its size and power grew
horror and dread did too
It knew no fear or pain
as it came dragging through
the riders say the creature's not their slave
it serves a master now unseen
they claim no hand despite their grip upon the reins of terror
avert their eyes, and drive the beast
here it comes
consuming anything
consuming everything
titan slug
and it comes
polluting everything
destroying everything
titan slug
Behemoth crushing all
Acolytes sound the call
repeat the mantra
and pull more into the thrall
No soul for you to save
you cannot incarcerate
no belief to dispel
all exploitation and hate
the riders say the creature's not their slave
it serves a master now unseen
they claim no hand despite their grip upon the reins of terror
avert their eyes, and drive the beast
here it comes
consuming anything
consuming everything
titan slug
and it comes
polluting everything
destroying everything
titan slug
here it comes
consuming anything
consuming everything
titan slug

Unearthly Glow

unearthly glow
emanating from below
the toxic green
illuminates a sickly scene
all cast in evil light
poison infects my sight
unearthly glow
drawing my mind below
my mind below
unearthly glow
this doctrine dark
burns in its lasting mark
my helmet on
block out the stars 'til dawn
usher me back to sleep
away from oceans deep
unearthly glow
emanating from below
my mind below
unearthly glow

Fever Dream
07:38
|
|||
in my sleep
a fever dream behind my eyes
hear him preach
he stokes the fears of masses wild
in this dream
I plot his violent demise
I don't feel
fear cannot change my course this time
I can't wake
I can't wake
from this dark dream
in my dream
I act alone to kill the beast
strike him down
evade his spies and travel east
now I wake
knowing I've left my home and kin
my vision fades
descend to dreaming once again
I can't escape
I can't escape
this fever dream

churning fire, arching flame
fulcrum of Earth's flight
foundry of man and stone
destroyer of the night
celestial furnace runs out of fuel
self-consuming, it dies
into the cold, black sky
light and heat no longer pour
eight minutes of light
eight minutes of life
darkness evermore
the morning sun bathes land and sea
sleepers start to rise
a final dawn, a final day
then eternal night
celestial furnace runs out of fuel
self-consuming, we die
into the cold, black sky
light and heat no longer pour
eight minutes of light
eight minutes of life
darkness evermore

Sleeper Now Rise (2021)
08:15
|

Beneath the stone
Her rage begins to rise
The flames lick her skin
She opens her eyes
Sleep, arise
Earth divide
Six hundred thousand years lie
Wake with a fearsome cry
Earth fracture and divide
Sleeper now rise
Blackened sun drifts through ashen night
Waning grey light
She stares blind into the sky
As death pours from her eye
Mountain stand still
Belie the storm within
Her caustic reign
flows forth again
Sleep, arise
Earth divide
Six hundred thousand years lie
Wake with a fearsome cry
Earth fracture and divide
Sleeper now rise
Blackened sun drifts through ashen night
Waning grey light
She stares blind into the sky
As death pours from her eye
Sleep, arise
Earth divide
Six hundred thousand years lie
Wake with a fearsome cry
Earth fracture and divide
Sleeper now rise
Blackened sun drifts through ashen night
Waning grey light
She stares blind into the sky
As death pours from her eye

The end is in the beginning and yet I go on
Grain upon grain, one by one
I play, I lose, and I have done (with it)
The end is in the beginning and yet I go on
I know my life is but a slow death
Each moment one closer to my last breath
I know my life is but a slow death
The end is in the beginning and yet I go on
Staring at the horizon... there's nothing on the horizon
Nothing on the horizon but the gray sun.
The end is in the beginning and yet I go on
I know my life is but a slow death
Each moment one closer to my last breath
I know my life is but a slow death
My dream
A world silent and still
Each thing in its last place
My dream
A world silent and still
Under the last dust
The end is in the beginning and yet I go on
