the eyes can't deceive when they've been removed
there is no oasis
there's only ruins scattered wreckage
monuments of defeat
this used to be home
now it's a fire that will burn on
a sea of the dead
broken by islands of derelict cars
move on smash these relics
nothing good will come from them
move on clear a passage
that will never be followed
as the days pass on there's that acrid scent again
we've been here before, one thousand times
moving in endless circles
there is no escape looping a vision of horror
conrete collapsed, burying all that once was
move on burn these memories
the pyre will stack to the sky
move on leave these ashes
for future historians

bones bleached white
obscuring the fields
hooven birds descend
and the tundra cracks wide open
the northlands haunt
our frozen thoughts
there can be no thaw
there can be no thaw
Spreading its venom, corrupting the soil
Burying deep, crawling through stone, felling mountains
cataract eyes
clouding vacant face
bodies in arrays
alters spilling over
albino hands
tug at permafrost
winged men ascend
as the tundra cracks wide open
the northlands haunt
our frozen thoughts
there can be no thaw
there can be no thaw
Spreading its venom, corrupting the soil
Burying deep, crawling through stone, felling mountains
frozen thrones crumble
under a stampede of elk
marching upright as men
ice hangs on cartilage crowns
there can be no thaw
there can be no thaw
there can be no thaw
there can be no thaw

irradiate this soul
with the malice of a dying star
leave this cancer to grow
unchecked, ignored
tie up those loose ends
that seem fit to be tied.
bury this husk
in the debris of political fallout
send out the crows
to harvest the fallen
the only one who stands will rot in the sun
there's nothing left
march to the gallows
and let those loose ends hang
there is no tomorrow because there isn't much today
celebrate the end of forever all we'll know is yesterday
tie up those loose ends
that seem fit to be tied.
bury this husk
in the debris of political fallout
send out the crows
to harvest the fallen
the only one who stands will rot in the sun
there's nothing left
irradiate

Flat Line

corrosion, decay, entropy says nothing lasts
corrosion, decay, spiraling down it will end
with passing glances and errant smiles, morbidity grows
time may pass but this gaping wound won't be whole
carve our hearts out
still they're beating
crush the life out
leave them bleeding
lust is a liability
and trust is in short supply
fill our cavity with contempt
and let our loathing bleed out
corrosion, decay, entropy says nothing lasts
corrosion, decay, spiraling down it will end
biting tongues and blowing kisses from the edge of oblivion
it's so easy to pretend, ignoring the whine of the flatline
carve our hearts out
still they're beating
crush the life out
leave them bleeding
lust is a liability
and trust is in short supply
fill our cavity with contempt
and let our loathing bleed out
flat line

Valley of the Kings

it's raining again and the earth is drunk with water
it staggers and wretches and solid ground becomes flowing river
expired trees collapse in the torrent
ancient, withered branches churning in the savage flow
the high ground can't be taken when the hills are submerged
the dead can't rest when the earth rejects their tombs
a flash of lightning reveals a hellish sight
thousands of bodies awash in the tide
shut it off
shut it off
ears bleeding and reddened hands
shut it off
silence
disembodied heads, hearts, and arms
rotten jaws flapping in phantom song
the high ground can't be taken when the hills are submerged
the dead can't rest when the earth rejects their tombs
the high ground can't be taken when the hills are submerged
the dead can't rest when the earth rejects their tombs

pave the road to failure
we brace it alone
i'm alive, we can die
with your light,
by your guidance
we will fail
our spirit is broken
our skin is dust
i'm alive, we can die
with your light,
by your guidance
we will fail
by your light (we are blinded)
as we climb (we are grounded)
take the last breath of your time
save your last thought of mind
hear the lie (we surround it)
taste the mind (we consume it)
see the light (we despise it)
feel the loss (we embrace it)

forget the past , flee the present
there's no future when the night can't end
regret the past, shun the present
there's no future when the night can't end
pictures of what never was, words never quite said
memoirs of false yesterdays, aborted dreams not had
wind is calling savagely in a fractured song
weight of heaven crushes down through the parting clouds
something's trailing just behind, walk becomes a run
shadows of the fading past, it's better not to know
pray for rain or black skies anything but the sun
only darkness can quell the fear of dawn
memories
are floading back
drowning reason
like so many rats
pictures of what never was, words never quite said
memoirs of false yesterdays, aborted dreams not had
wind is calling savagely in a fractured song
weight of heaven crushes down through the parting clouds
something's trailing just behind, walk becomes a run
shadows of the fading past, it's better not to know
pray for rain or black skies anything but the sun
only darkness can quell the fear of dawn
tragedies
are roaring past
devouring reason
like so many rats
a fiery glow breaks
the curve of the earth
prayers fell again
on deafened ears
all those things that never were
all those things that can never be
guilt is just a step behind

when the last man drops dead
he better raise the white flag
let the heavens know
that we concede defeat
set a beacon
that speaks of invalidated past
get the word out
as the last light slips from his eyes
broadcast our quarantine
let nothing with a mind approach
there's something in the water
broadcast our failure
when the last day has passed
there'll be no epitaph
just a warning
transmitting into the void
set a beacon
that speaks of invalidated past
get the word out
as the last light slips from his eyes
broadcast our quarantine
let nothing with a mind approach
there's something in the water
broadcast our failure
all is lost
nothing moves
all is still
in seven tombs
