The glaciers have drained from the mountains Their ice caps have dragged to the south The streams have bled to the ocean Marianas opens her gaping mouth We gaze upon the ruins This planet's broken ribs Smoke stack lungs breathe cancer Repaying what we give Strip the gold mines of their riches Soak the trees in lye Eager to become closer to God We burned a hole in the sky We'll tell ourselves we did all we could As Elysium burns in the wake of the flood The gallows are swinging; ready for the hang Destruction of ego leaves no one to (blame) Pray to the sun for the tears to burn away Claiming repentance cry "Never again, never again!" As above, so below Would God lay to waste The Garden He built in the name of His grace? Destruction came like a stray bullet Creation defaced With sombering hands Ancient of Days pulls us closer Laced as one, we all cross over Give the pale rider his bow and his crown A second beast in flames stampeding its hooves into the ground The stars fell from the sky and the Earth began to quake The sky rolled up like a scroll; Hades showed its face The Sun turned an oily black, the Moon’s white turned to blood The Seventh seal broke and Heaven fell into a hush Like suicide by a stray bullet The Sun flickers out These sombering hands Won't let go Heavenly Father Intertwined, their Souls sink farther

The sweetest poison you could ever taste A pale, white mask hides a shifting face A phantom trace, a whisper in the wind Bloodlines of the internal bred Their parasitic ejaculate Fills the mouths and minds of the arrogant But their pockets full, interests centralized Set their chess boards down, send the pawns to die Towers burn as blind eyes meet Nations topple and its near complete Debt slaves mindless to the monument To the Devilgod who wields the whip Empty hosts roam the streets Chasing affluence just to kill their dreams Born to bleed all they have to give Fighting to survive, dying to live The invisible hand; it’s puppets stitched into its fingers Disinter, dead ringer The manifold brews the sepsis The New Age Crisis The shadow moves lithe through the fog Evaporates back into nothing Heavy lies the ground that floods from the storm Shapeshifter takes form Marionettes hung by their strings Asphyxiate whilst a black swan sings “Praise be! Praise be!” The workers shout Watch the shadow coalesce when the light gives out Sift through the murk as its eyes dilate Warping wakened minds as they plead their case The figure stands Becomes defined And one by one We march in line To manifest the seed Recite the Holy Creed The gazing watchful Eye Proliferates the skies The invisible hand; it’s fingers stitched into our lives Like lemmings off the edge of a knife The Holy Grail holds the sepsis The blood of the Crisis The shadow brings us to our knees The species disease unleashed Crying tears of joy As we kiss the hand And bow in the aura of the Crooked Man

An opiate needle takes away the pain The golden country slips through their veins Program, vaporize, manipulate The pendulum in the mind Cause when the enemy is changing day by day And history changes just the same Contradictions coagulate Yet still the flocks sedate Mannequins and figureheads Side by side and word for word Delude the feather brained to disregard the words they know they heard Here comes a candle to light you to bed Here comes a chopper to chop off your head War is peace Ignorance is strength Freedom is slavery When all we knows truth peace love and plenty War is peace Ignorance is strength Freedom is slavery Know the words by heart: Truth peace love and plenty Solipsistic disposits The whistle blowers writhe in pain How much longer can we sustain? Under the spreading chestnut tree I sold you and you sold me There are no heroes in the face of pain Extract the memories then they'll obey Release the rats Dissected piece by piece Rebuild fractured reality Reintegrate impassive drones Keep a straight face Big Brothers eyes are always watching you Silicone telescreens track every word and move

Set the skies as our map And our hearts set to fail A brooding life, lost in the afterglow Loss of life, a never ending defamation Pull the roots from the cage Swallowed by the ash and ice Shower us with light Daughter of the stars Goddess of the dawn fortify our safety On this journey through this arctic plane Rest your eyes, this journey has just begun Set sail towards the storm Led unto the ice by Aurora’s guiding vibrant light Electrons drift across the sky embellishing the night (This blizzard) Crashes against us (Hold fast) To unveil the mystery (Fading) recollections of sacred, spiral atmosphere Sail along the shore of the unforgiving ice frontier Tread through the frozen flood until horizons disappear A beckoning yearning for a knowledge of what we were before This crudened flesh and bone structure: the bearer of our souls Enticed, yet contrite to let ourselves sink into light (Fantasies of familiar faces fade) Betrothed, yet betrayed by our bodies infant Earthly ties (Terra Mater set our spirits to the skies) Sinking; falling through the glacial drift Suffocating While traces of warm slumber once so structured slip away Entombed inside a fractal cocoon Then cast into the fray The waters bleed onto the deck The broken mast will drag us deep The anchors speed our descent And flukes will cut skin deep The consequential repercussions of inconsistent drive To be or not to be; to surrender or survive Simulations of mortality’s binds, kept us right at home Break through the barrier To the astral skies we float So familiar this place So familiar this fear Paralyzed, hand in hand as the recursive patterns light Concurrent final breaths pull us to where the past and present cross Incarnation comes full circle as all sense of self is lost Rebuilding the flesh towers as life comes and goes (Constructs of a greater state of mind) We drift with the Northern Lights; The Neon Holy Ghost (Cerebral light brings the passing of Time) Through fathoms they sink Immersed in the finite trench The dilating void oscillates between Life, Death, the Earth and the Stars And as dusk breaks to dawn The cosmos awaken the course to the soul of the Sun Refracting light bends the spectrum astray But in Aurora’s bright embrace we stay

Needles clasp to drops of rain In isolation's wake Cracks below but the surface stays the same Survival; scavenge what is left The sun bears down And the sand consumes the flesh Find me Between the sound With my bones deep underground Feel me A spirit in the wind A pulse in the Earth Making mountains shift Find yourself between the sound Reverberating inside the ground And you'll find peace there You will find rest there The wanderer takes one final breath Wanderer, sink into thin air Become this place as you disappear And as you're letting go The world is quiet here The rebel echoings of a monolithic stage They will never find their creed Another lost void left alone in embers Dead souls search again for peace I will never understand their pain Tranquil oasis grants them sleep We circle yet again Consumed, confused and bruised Let loose of all our Earthly ties And we can never truly die
