STORM SOUNDS/EERIE RITUAL WINDS
[DIALOGUE]
Radio broadcast/static enters
“Breaking news… after the strange events of last year..
There appears to be more environmental phenomena…
Category 5…
The storm appeared out of nowhere.. Almost..
… urge you to stay inside your homes at this…
Flash flood warning in effect..
In other breaking news, earlier last week we reported the tragic death…
Age 14..
...heartbreaking.. And during our national pandemic that’s sweeping the nation…
...President Donald Trump…
…in our final story…
The Vatican denies all charges, but the evidence is clearly…
All in all, these are dark times. It’s unlikely 2020 is going to get any…

Storm's Edge
05:17
|
|||
|
Blood waves and skies of sickly pale,
She left the world and brought me hell,
And when the world began to fall,
The glass was spilled
And rolled away
Torrential rains inside a marble left on tilt,
Drowned in obituaries,
And when the end of days comes to set the table still,
You can put my memories in a box, cast them off,
And hope the depths don’t repel
But your stomachs will
Tell me, the desperate tales of anguish,
Did the wolves come down and,
Pray for the starving hands of angels,
Or was it destined to occur, while
The rest of us lay waiting,
For our turn
She was as vivid as her death,
Every page like the stories she had read,
And as her petals fell, the ground collected red and wilt,
(Left in the dirt)
Six feet between the ordinary and nothing felt,
(The lessons learned)
Tell me, the desperate tales of anguish,
Did the wolves come down and,
Pray for the starving hands of angels,
Or was it destined to occur, while
The rest of us lay waiting,
For our turn
The waters shift,
And the clouds are rolling in,
Grey pallor,
And the lightning strikes again,
Gone, in the eye of the storm,
Stripped apart, a dissecting turn,
Dead,
And there’s no bringing it back again
Tell me, the desperate tales of anguish,
Did the wolves come down and,
Pray for the starving hands of angels,
Or was it all earned
All while the fools believe in saviors,
Would they rip apart their hearts,
For a better chance to make it,
If their god asked them to,
Beg for, the crows to take their faces,
Would they take turns

A Prisoner's Fate
05:06
|
|||
|
Faded on the lips, a smiles edge and eyes awry
Caught between the senses, bit the fruit but now the tongue has dried
Credible as ever, slipped the truth behind the lies
Paragon of virtue, now your shadow begs for our respite
Liar, Liar, Liar, Liar
Liar, take the pulpit, pound your fists while people kneel behind
Put your thumb between my eyes, don’t stop until I cross myself blind
Then lead the weak and helpless, promises to keep them kind
Shepard the penned, then take the key and lock the door behind
You play your games
And all the fucking politicians pretend to rage
Bear the weight away
You’re in prisoner’s chains
And though your thoughts might stay the same
Underneath those marks remain
And every cry, every claw, all the nails in your heart
Won’t change, or go away
Press your hands together, feeding on emotion when our fears arrive
Bodies of the children, pass around the hat so we can cry and tithe
Called a man of virtue, standing in the rubble as you proselytize
Speech is full of guile, one behind the battles since the dawn of time
Liar, Liar, Liar, Liar
Liar, telling me you know me
You don't know a damn thing
I don't owe you anything
(I don't owe you anything)
Selling off your time to
The gullible and pious
Never any questioning
(Never any questioning)
You often tempt the poor with
Promises of better things
Then you aren't delivering
(They don't owe you anything)
Cut the fake messiah
Shit and all the pandering
Saving’s not your color
(Try a bit of listening)
We don't owe you anything
We don't owe you anything
We don’t owe you anything
You're bound in chains
But you act as though it's us in the cage
Bear the weight away
You’re in prisoner’s chains
And though your thoughts might stay the same
Underneath those marks remain
And every cry, every claw, all the nails in your heart
Won’t change, or go away
A light that ends the day
Illuminates the past in shame
And though our minds can mend the pain
Underneath those marks remain
Every tear that you saw, all the lives left in dark
And you're to blame

The Fall
07:11
|
|||
|
The end is coming,
The silence breeds the fall,
Our time has been wasted
Spent it all, it all
Penance waiting,
Ten thousand years we’ve toiled,
Been breaking the backs of others weighted,
Subjugated,
Down babe, come sleep,
The void is calling,
It all waits for me,
Just struggle softly
Indemnifying,
Our debt belies dreams
Our forest for the trees
We covet blindly
With all the writings on the wall,
You’d think we’d wake ourselves up,
But all this evil still persists,
When good people fail to stand up,
And innocence just turns to apathy,
Our pandering becomes a crutch
Or pretense in spite of faculty,
We choose, and always choose wrong
I tried,
To reconcile everything,
In the end I’m left with nothing,
Why, try,
Lost in our own reveries,
While the world is slowly burning,
No hope is left to find
I wish things hadn’t turned out this way,
I wish we didn’t have to bear this terrible fate,
We have to decide what to do with the time we have,
But how do we decide when it all keeps happening again
And nothing we can do will stop it
That change will happen in time,
Our hope we cling to will try,
But in the end it’s all a lie,
Just take a breath and close your eyes
Gone, with all the wicked,
Our cries to God,
Unholy vengeance, judgement passed,
The final verdicts fall,
Our prayers were answered,
The flood begins,
We pay the piper, played our part,
And now we lay our sins,
With all the time we had to spend,
We still refuse to pay the price,
Ten thousand years and we’re still beating,
Still deceiving lives,
It’s still a sickness in our heads,
Exacerbated by the lies,
We tell ourselves it’s all okay,
If it’s just out of sight
I tried,
To reconcile everything,
In the end I’m left with nothing,
Why, try,
Lost in our own reveries,
While the world is slowly burning

The End of Days
06:46
|
|||
|
It all surrounds us,
The rot fits the heart and face of men,
Tired skin that binds us,
Old withered souls from within
You can watch the changes, fill a book with the world’s unrest
Burrow through the pages, just to find the beginning of the end
Cycle through the ages and the pace of darkness,
Quickening within,
And stand to watch the world drown in its sin,
When calamity falls
One salute to you all
And it all will pass you by
And the dead won’t cry
With the lesson learned in life
That nothing survives
I stood atop the world and saw through ephemeral eyes,
History was born and died, and myth sprang into life,
I held it all in my hands, I felt it in the air,
On and on the wars that still remain
The gods we fought for, men that died in vain
Raise the martyrs’ flag for years on end
And shroud the reasons, blinded sheep were led,
Well in the center of it all you stay content to play pretend,
And all the pleading in the world won’t get you to make amends
Take a breath inside
Steeling all your mind
Pity won’t stay blind
At least not in this life
Praying, to be saved
Pretending, that will change things,
Here, at the end of the world
Whoa
And it all will pass you by
And the dead won’t cry
With the lesson learned in life,
Nothing survives
And it all will pass you by
And the dead won’t cry
With the lesson learned in life,
Nothing survives

Can't Let Go
03:59
|

Get up,
Sickened corpses ridden,
On the battered ground,
Crushed in waves of sound,
The wearied wait to be delivered,
Get up,
Every limb has long forgotten,
What it’s like to feel,
Far beyond what’s real,
In a hellish land left broken,
I can’t keep telling myself,
All the things I need to hear,
I can’t shut out the cries,
That nobody is left to hear,
All the bodies left to the dirt,
Like scraps of paper left to burn,
Though all I know,
All the centuries, they end the same,
And it’s hard to let go,
When you lose it all, you can’t take the pain,
You can’t let go,
I can’t let go,
(I can’t let go)
Stand up,
Try and salvage it,
Get to higher ground,
Try and make sense of it,
If we can take it all back,
We can start again,
Can’t we build something better,
When the fires end?
Rage,
Boiling in my blood,
For the last of us,
It’s only just begun,
Armies laid to rest,
No matter the cost
Wearing the face of death
We’ll just keep getting up
Getting up
And I bet you’ll find no rest,
When you’re living for the dead,
We’re the monsters made of men,
We’ll just keep getting up,
Getting up,
Though all I know,
All the centuries, they end the same,
And it’s hard to let go,
Is it why I feel alone?
All the things I’ve done, won’t fade away
I’ve never felt less hope,
And I can’t let go,
I won’t let go

The Other Side
06:33
|
|||
|
It feels like death haunts me
A shadow of all
And it’s reaching for my soul
Through fields of cold,
Afraid of what’s to come
I can’t admit
That I can’t save myself
I can’t save myself
Doused in kerosene,
Their caskets in dirt,
Laying in their own decay
The augurs of the cursed
I need to know what happens next
I reach for answers but I just can’t see
In the darkness with all that’s left,
What is it that’s coming for me
Thoughts waste away
That I can’t face
Oh, burned out
This fire
Life lived
No longer
Ashes or coffins,
We all return to dust
Existence is a fickle flame,
Washed away in rain,
I’m bleeding thoughts into the drain,
As the clouds begin to gray
I’m afraid to know the answers,
To know the truth of when it all ends,
Will my heart be weighed in judgement,
Will I be punished for my sins
Thoughts waste away,
And I can’t face
The day that awaits,
Where the living will weep,
For the other side
Trapped in thoughts like a rat in a cage,
Another typical brain with all the typical craze,
Every word that’s disassembling,
As the dance of the dead is quickening,
And at the minimum it will be okay,
Because insanity just came back in style baby
Go,
Is it all worth it,
I guess I’ll never know
Disillusioned by my fate,
In the face of the unknown,
As the flame sputters out,
Destined for the dark,
It all has to end,
As we leave behind a spark
But oh, in a way,
It’ll be okay
As the light of the day,
Fades away
Oh, in a way,
It’ll be okay
As the light of the day
Fades away,
Thoughts waste away,
And I can’t face,
The day that awaits,
Where the living will weep,
For the other side

A New Day Begins
06:15
|
|||
|
Cities decayed,
Cracked open sky,
And in Disparity’s high, the similar can’t stay
Chaos arranged,
Our fate was signed,
Perpetrated and ignited in the cycle of hate
Ideas torn apart,
And all the choices that we made,
We adeptly played our parts,
To the end of all things that remain
And in the end, was it worth all choices we made?
Do we accept that our actions are what we became?
How did we lose it all?
Now there’s nothing left to save,
After we watch the fall,
Watch it all burn down,
Brought to our knees, we’ll crawl,
Forced to face our own shame,
How did we lose it all? Yeah
Written on the page,
Forged in desire,
Every fire, every little action that we made,
And doesn’t it persuade?
Our spite was by design,
There’s no excuses, no divine in all the paths that we take,
So welcome all the strange,
(And cry out “Father!”)
Born from ashes that we made,
(as your innocence will come to pass)
(A birth before our eyes)
Our future starts today,
(Shed all your tears)
Let’s embrace insanity,
(And become everything you feared at last)
We'll abandon order’s way,
(An evolution of the soul)
And we’ll revel in the end of days
(Now step forth in our new world)
It’s here,
Inside, everything you’ve come to fear,
Now outside,
A new perspective with a new frontier,
Dreams and nightmares,
Born from the death,
Of the world in the end,
Upside down,
All the sense you have left,
Comes to rot in your head,
How do we build when we can’t trust the things that we had?
If we start will it all lead to this in the end,
If we do it all again?
How did we lose it all?
Now there’s nothing left to save,
After we watch the fall,
Watch it all burn down,
Brought to our knees, we’ll crawl,
Forced to face our own shame,
How did we lose it all? Yeah
Eyes open, take the sunrise in again,
Shore lines end, a new day begins
So die,
And let this world end
