Four Faeries
12:51
|
|||
Tanked in the clutch of days unlikely
Sank the ways of yore
Onward! Sang the young with hymns a-plenty
Banking on one last war
Nigh was the dawn of the returning
High did the tide flow
By the light of the new crimson morning
The world was set aglow
Doctor of the voids, please advise
I can’t silence the inanimate cries
Will the dreamers of disorder arise
Faster than we realize
What will come? Nobody knows
It’s keeping everybody on their toes
Will it be like Lazarus arose
Or bone snapping from the final blow
Never could I trust
Song dictated by
The blurred vision of
A nearsighted eye
But now I can see
The edge of pretend
Falling towards the earth
In urgent descent
If you find yourself
Communing with each
Grave ground into sand
By centuries’ grief
Try your best to reclaim
The innocence of youth
Need you a refrain
Need you much more proof
Four faeries fly following a grim savior
Four faeries fly guiding us to erasure
Leave it to the emblems of blight
To leave the anxious with a thief’s birthright
Leave it to an empire’s foresight
To set the kindling of resentment alight
Sons of solace, take your aim
For existence is a ruthless dame
And when the end comes to this ancient game
All is dust, yes, all is reclaimed
Though the wastelands may confound
The children know the way
Though nothing may seem profound
They know their true fate
So if we should meet our end
Don’t let it come too late
Be it by an accident
Or by the new crusade

When the waters have gone away
And our soles befriend a ravaged land
Ever after and here to stay
Are the new archways of familiar clans
One of us will arise unscathed
Boldly leading us to brighter dawns
And one of us will be led astray
Swallowed up by every right gone wrong
But for now you’ll be
A friend found in the great eternity
For now you will be
A fire that smiles, a welcome company
When the instinct to separate
Ties me to silos of errand’s yield
What’s there left but contemplate
The nature of the beast that waits concealed
It’s back to basics after the rain
Throwing darts at pictures that you drew
For in the rubble of what remains
Your depravity begins anew
But for now you’ll be
A friend found in the great eternity
For now you will be
A fire that smiles, a welcome company
For now you will be
The artifact in ruins of a dream
For now you will be
A knower of the in-between we seek

The Right Side of Misery
03:28
|

Grant me passage to right side
To the right side of misery
There’s sanctuary on the right side
On the right side of misery
Recite your vows to the right side
To the right side of misery
Join the chorus of the right side
Of the right side of misery
Resist the ire of the wrong side
Of the wrong side of misery
Stifle the murmurs from the wrong side
From the wrong side of misery
Burn the stage of the wrong side
Of the wrong side of misery
Cut the tongue of wrong side
Of the wrong side of misery
Sign in blood on the right side

Post Hoc
12:37
|
|||
Fire fills the fountain
From which we used to drink
Dire wolves are howlin’
From the empire’s brink
Psalter of psychosis
Please tell us to think
Halter our neurosis
And make your verse succinct
Sire of intrusion
Make you demands decreed
Tire the solution
‘Til truth’s first to concede
Halter your volition
Of vanquishing the lead
Alter your condition
Condition the stampede
You can still hear it said
From Abaddon to Antioch
When oceans turn to red
And the messenger has fled
We’ll be keeping it post hoc
You can still hear it said
With a swing of the tomahawk
The messenger is dead
And the kids are tucked in bed
We’re still keeping it post hoc
Ladle up the serum
Let the answer be told
Cradle of delerium,
You’re a sight to behold
Pull me past the circus
Abhorred yet oversold
Solely for the purpose
Of seeing it unfold
Fatal inhibitions
Led the seer as she sighed
Natal premonitions
Can’t save a dream that died
Holy is the flame of
Disintegration’s bride
Fully fueled to claim us
From a purpose denied
You can still hear it said
From Abaddon to Antioch
When oceans turn to red
And the messenger has fled
We’ll be keeping it post hoc
You can still hear it said
With a swing of the tomahawk
The messenger is dead
And the kids are tucked in bed
We’re still keeping it post hoc
