INTO THE ETHER

Where does life come from?
The ethereal miracle
Life springs from death
Do you fear change?
Nothing lasts, but nothing should
Welcome the alien
As the world rebirths again
This cyclic dance
Around the void
Chains of bone give way
To a crown of blooms
Threads of the past decay
As the infinite future looms
As the planet molts
Nothing's forever
Breathe in, breathe in
Breathe in
The delicate air
Dig deep
The ancient earth
Be free of this
As the planet molts
Nothing’s forever
Into the ether
Nothing’s forever
Breathe in
The delicate air
Dig deep
The ancient earth
Be free of this
As the planet molts
Nothing’s forever
Into the ether
Nothing’s forever
Life springs from death
Life springs from death
Life springs from death
Welcome the alien
Welcome the alien
The cyclic dance
Around the void
Into the ether
Nothing's forever
Into the ether

THREADS OF THE PAST
02:36

Everything’s in the past, see
Everything just goes past me
Tryin' to live in the present but
Everything’s just so fast seen
All of our lives so fixed and fastened
Nobody has their own destiny fashioned
I don’t need strings
To tell me what I can be
But I do need some strings on the album
This life is a loud one
But soon the quiet comes
This life is a loud one
But soon the quiet comes
This life is a loud one
And you’ll never get out
Day into night like a flash of lighting
Before I can blink, the sunrise again
Month to month
Faster than I can breathe
What the fuck happened
Where’s the old habits
Where’s the new vantage
How’s the old houses
Oh they got ravaged
Where’s the old field now
It’s a new palace
But no one’s allowed in
They just call it an asset
Blink and you’ll miss it
Look back in the distance
Enjoy reminiscing
And then you’re back in a casket
This life is a loud one
Just let it happen
Just let yourself be free
Time isn’t a vacuum
Life hasn’t passed you
And even when your thread’s severed
Your heart will outlast you
Your heart will outlast you
Your heart will outlast you
Your heart will outlast you
Your heart will outlast you
Your heart will outlast you

INCINERATE
03:55

As winter ends
And cold mornings fade
Heat comes alive
Dark doesn’t go away
In the heat of the day
I stay in the shade
All black everything
The sun won’t escape me
The brighter the light
The darker the shadows seem
The hotter the air
The more you need the shade
Somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to breathe
Just because the seasons change
Doesn’t mean they ever go away
But for everything breathing
Another is in decay
Another is in decay
Another is in decay
For everything breathing
Another is in decay
Another is in decay
Another is in decay
All black everything
The sun won’t escape
The sun won’t escape
Incinerate me, incinerate me
Embroider the fire
And sew it into my skin
Breathe the ages in
Breathe the ages in
Incinerate me, incinerate me
Incinerate me, incinerate me
Embroider the fire
And sew it into my skin
Breathe the ages in
Breathe the ages in
Incinerate me, incinerate me
Incinerate me, incinerate me
Embroider the fire
And sew it into my skin
Breathe the ages in
Breathe the ages in
In the heat of the flames
My body desiccates
My soul in the embers
The sun won’t escape
Incinerate me, incinerate me
Incinerate me, incinerate me
For everything breathing
Another is in decay
Incinerate me, incinerate me
All black everything
The sun won’t escape
Incinerate me, incinerate me
Incinerate me, incinerate me
Incinerate me, incinerate me
Incinerate me, incinerate me
Incinerate me, incinerate me
Incinerate me, incinerate me

THE WEIGHTED SOUL
03:46
|
|||

Waking on the shore of the current’s end
I see a figure in the mist, beckoning hand
No memory of life I sail away
Until I realize what’s left behind me
An empty soul with a hollow heart
Identity shattered and lost to the stars
My plea to the captain on the black river
The memory of this heartless sinner
With a skeletal hand he asks for one thing
A piece of the soul, my only remains
And when the price he asks is paid
Memories from this heart are remade
Eternal lifetimes flood into me
Endless filling the emptiness
And as I am overcome with the past
The boatman laughs as I collapse
And like a chain around his neck is breaking
Another weight is lifted from his soul
The River is rough and the howls of the damned
Pierce the air and I pray for land
The ferryman’s oars moving endlessly
Time becomes an abstract thing
As eons pass and ages fade
I realize escape is my only way
Another bargain must be made
Another piece of my soul to trade
Please oh gods hear my plea
End the river and bring land to me
The sailor takes another piece
And as he does, the river is ceased
And like a chain around his neck is breaking
Another weight is lifted from his soul
The ferryman brings me to the farthest shore
Scorched earth, dead trees, a single door
A figure stands in front at guard
And I approach, with my soul’s last shard
Who stands guard but the ferryman
The cursed man who’s taken everything
A cold laugh slips between his teeth
As we both know the his price of entry
And like a chain around his neck is breaking
Another weight is lifted from his soul
Nothing left to give, nothing remains
My body and soul consumed in flame
And from ashes of death a new being springs
And from ashes, a new being springs

DEATH SPRINGS
02:34
|
|||
|
Reborn from ashes
Of a past life
The alien future
Come to land home
The hands of the clock
Pulling the skin from your face
Revealing deep flesh
The gilded soul
The hands of the clock
Pulling the skin from your face
Creeping fingers
Of moments passed
Caress remains
From broken branches
New leaves spring
New blood spills in
New blood spills in
New light sings
New blood spills in
From the death springs
New blood spills in
Once again, once again
From the death springs
New blood spills in
Once again
From the death springs
