The Red Plague
04:04
|
|||
It burns it flickers
Its viral toll
In fevered minds
Moving fast across the ramparts
Said in tongues and manic froth
The pox moves closer by the day
How many of us have lost our minds
Watching it creep across the horizon
How many nights of torment
Dreaming of mass graves from this mad plague
To watch it slowly eat away
Friends and family gone away
Like a shadow cast on all the land
A red cancer on the desert sand
Where can I shelter my love away
Besieged by all consuming plague
Where can I hide from this decay
A raven landed before me in a dream
And spoke a clear eyed prophecy
And gestured to the graves of the sick and of the dying
"These are my great works on earth"
"The price of human frailty"

No One Left To Judge Me
05:37
|
|

Everything is ill in the forest of twisted beams
And the rivers are all coated in rainbows of gasoline
And I'm nursing a disease incubating inside of me
And I'm masturbating to the thought of the plague running free
And the kings are all negligent before they'll decide to flee
And everyone is high to escape reality
And there's a sinking feeling in your chest where the plague has come to breed
And everything is broken, cruel, and a worthless deed
And the bodies are all swaying in the wind on barren trees
And the laws are all deceit from reality
And there's a million starving rats and never any cheese
And nothing is more greedy than nothing's own greed
For all of us are servants for decay and disbelief
And God is hanging on a wire made from human grief
And the fucking scum inside you is the only thing I see
And this rotten species is worthless and obsolete
And the ashes and the rubble have filled all the streets
And the fires have burned every building every tree
Until there is no one, no one left to judge me

Virosa red
Virosa white
Virosa red
Virosa white
I presaged the pox
Now material
I see the veil removed
In the dead of night
I feel fate's tide
Pull us closer
Bring the union of our light
Virosa red
Virosa white
Virosa red
Virosa white
Quickened intuition
And born of revelation
Virosa red
Virosa white
Virosa red
Virosa white
Serpents in the black abyss
Twisted psyches in our vision
Shadows that loom
In corners of our rooms
Virosa red
Virosa white
Virosa red
Virosa white
Crown of red dethroned
Fall in exile
Fallen angel
May I find you despite all
And bring about our union
Virosa red
Virosa white
Virosa red
Virosa white
Divine insight

World To Ash
05:54
|
|
||
An invisible fire
Rushed across the land
Taking town by town
In iron forests
And whispered shadows
Frothing words of prophets
Fever dreams unheeded
Those who live for fire
And its contagious hunger
Possessed by that old spirit
Until all is smoke
And charcoal snow
And you will go
And you will go
Until only shadows reign here
A mark in every haunt
A brand of all our sin
And with every breath I have
I will fight against this dim

Röentgen Blisters
12:04
|
|
||
Cut out their eyes
We've been waiting so long
To tear down the sky
Blind foals shudder, agonized
Branded with the mark of our reign
Black are the scars of permanent shade
Save us, they say
Pleading for all of this to go away
Clawing with burned hands to leave
Tormented with light they cannot see
Ghosts in the ruins haunt the streets
Wasting and afflicted with the modern disease

Trinitite
06:15
|
|
||
A desert of green seaglass
Under poison wind
And vampiric howls
Cruel is the light of our synthetic sun
I'm the voice of every poet
Who has spoken in tongue
I'm the thing behind the darkness
Sprawling reaching out
The road crunches like ice
And shimmers with hidden light
Many men have gambled
On the things beyond their sight
We were once beautiful
Now awful children dying
Mere vanishing spectres
In wind and fire
I dreamed in darkness
Of all of Pandora's monsters
Setting the world alight.

Dark Harvest
03:28
|
|
||
A lamb with seven eyes
And seven limbs
A Chernobyl Abomination
And the will of the Lord
Told me of the world it will conquer
Peter's flock is sickened
And covered with sores
Ten thousand suns
Rose over a horizonless world
And the earth was scorched
So nothing would grow
And all was thrown into the abyss
Of a darkened world
The End
