plague
05:35
|
|
||
rats dried out in the sun
life‘s a plague we tried to outrun
burning eyes, burning lymph
hollow skull, boredom triumphs
we come crawling, towards death
on our knees, scraping the flesh
until there‘s no life left to take
a resemblance of what was once human,
a torch meant to illuminate, but burnt out

flicker
03:59
|
|
||
just enough food to live,
just enough air to breathe,
more than enough strain, to put me to sleep
flickering light bulb, get up, repeat
i ceased to believe in change,
the grip might loosen, but someone’s still holding the chain
in this perpetual meatgrinder
i am a clump of bleak pulsing flesh

guidance
04:29
|
|
||
we, the tame and fearful
terrified
by the murmuring wilderness
in the dead of night
we seek for shelter under the arches
bound do collapse
the hands that choked us
are the ones we grasp for guidance
once again we let ourselves be dragged along the bloodtrail
like cattle into slaughter

will
04:51
|
|
||
give all, and take none
nothing to show for this life
black circles around the eyes
an empty head
a heart that’s fucking dead
everyone has a price
i just didn’t think I was so cheap
i still carry my dying will, like a wounded animal, by my side
but it won’t survive

defeat
04:12
|
|
||
to make compromise
to kiss the golden ring
to lick the masters boot
defeat follows defeat
are we nothing more than
corpses floating in the water
bloated vessels of decay
spreading disease, transmitting pain
bringing destruction to all we love
ruining all we touch
but even in the darkest of hearts
the lowest of places
a craving for vengeance
to cut off the bloody hand
rip out the forked tongue
retribution
nothing left to stand
only carcasses in the tall tall grass
