Figures in a Terrain
07:43
|
|||
|
Hazy figures are running
Always on the move
They are hiding and searching
To avoid their doom
Something blocking the way
They disperse and sway
To emerge and join again
In another place
Figures running
Disperse. Sway.
Emerge. Again.
Emerge. Again.
Figures in a terrain
always on the move
Looking over their shoulders
Destined for the grave

Rallies in Rage
Screaming vicious lines
He owns them all
Fear, fraud, lies
Treats for the lost
Unaware of the cost
He throws bones
Buys the way
Clear the aisle he’s here
Applaud and hear his vow
See the crown it’s real
We failed to save our time
Now we’re amazed
By the ranks of the fool
Induced to fall in line
Marching begins
For appalling cause
He owns them all
Fear, fraud, lies
Raise the crown
Praise the clown now
Clear the aisle
Hear his vow now

Man in the Attic
05:22
|

Can you hear him rumble
All the faint steps from above
He’s the man who is stuck now
and his life is in the past
I’m the man in the attic
I turn in once a day
I don’t ask for much
Now I am here to stay
From the mist appeared
A desperate man on the run
Just remember your sister
He’s the one to see her drown
I’m the man in the attic
I turn in once a day
I’m the one who ran away
Now I am here to stay
I wanted him reminded
of that unending guilt
We found his body hanging
Yet we hear him say:
I’m the man in the attic
I turn in once a day
I’m the one who ran away
Now we’re all here to stay

Marrow
04:37
|
|||
|
Your ivory paleness
weighing heavy
On my shoulder
stay there steady
I’ll carry you to a forest clearing
There’s a shallow
hole in the ground
A heap of roots
torn from the earth
Cast shadows like
a pile of bones and antlers
Fir branch to mark this place
of sadness
You were found
in a forest clearing
Like an Indian charnel ground
A heap of roots
torn from the earth
Crack the bones,
crack the bones
get to marrow
Scared people
that trample in a stampede
The tracks and leads
dissolve in motion

In Its Absence
06:37
|

|
In its absence
Our dreams unfulfilled
We who know
the sanctity of blood
We are silenced
The flame extinguished
The value of life not revealed
A song within one’s heart is mute
A ritual without the blood
is untrue
There was a time
When we rode through
The barren land touched by
the hand of god
Where ever we passed
A trail of death
The sanctity of blood revealed
A song within one’s heart is mute
A ritual without the blood
is untrue
Time and again
manifest death
Lust for blood
a mandate from below
Whatever the reason
Now forgotten
Oh how we lived
it was a gift to us
A song within one’s heart is mute
A ritual without the blood
is untrue

The Undoing
06:47
|
|||
|
In the corner of my eye
Maybe in the shadows
It could be true
that you were there
I am the undoing
Personal downfall
I’ll never let this pass
Your life is worth nothing
You’re as good as dead now
I will undo you
There’s no way back
Oh meaningless entity
Your life is a waste
I’ll take you to where
you’ve never been
I am the undoing
Personal downfall
I’ll never let this pass
Your life is worth nothing
You’re as good as dead now
I will undo you
There’s no way back
