lyrics

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
