Without Rest

I once hoped for your death
Now I pray that you
live and live and live
May your water be spoiled
May your food taste of clay
May you regret every night
May you plead everyday
Seek the blade find it not
Seek the blade find it not
Now begin to see
There is no end
I once hoped for your death
Now I pray that you live
And live and live
and live
When I am dust and bone
Passed through the final gate
Unable to forgive
Carry the curse of these words
To the end of the world
Sleepless hopeless
Without rest

Sleeping inside a block of stone
Unborn. true form unknown.
Shelter sculpt replicate
Hands guided by unflinching faith
Everything has a price
You'll pay in blood
Everything has a price
Pain proves your love
Blind witness and beliefs
the tool turns in your hand
Ignorant masterpiece
Everything has a price
graveyard of miniature headstones
Stacked high with parents regret
Cold statues born of tradition
Righteous Lullaby laid them to rest

Empty Nests

Pray to
forget
Cut out
Bad bits
Hide guilt
Hilt deep
try not to tell
gave birth to this.
Begged for it.
Begged for it
Broken glass shines best
Begged for it
Begged for it
Making homes in your hearts
empty nests
Cancer will fester and die
nothing's left

Unknowing
infinite
Unslowing
path to exist
Born and reborn
Burning to
explore
Unconscious destruction
Decaying breath by breath
The spiral is broken
Outgrowing life through death
All is clear in the eye of the God given flesh through sacrifice
All is clear in the beat of the heart
Of the child of dark and light
The infant
infinite
The infant
Born to die

Shame
03:12
|
|

Climb the mountain of God
Guilty as its always been
Curse the lightening so cruel
Uncovering the marks of sin
Shame
All the things we have done
in name of the one
Shame
the blood we have spilled
the children we've killed
Understanding
Opening eyes
The choice is made
Stand or hide
Climb the mountain of God
empty as its always been
Curse the lightening so cruel
Uncovering the marks of sin
Open the door at the top
The knowledge erasing the bliss
Pause in the mouth of the cave
Linger between peace and madness
knowledge erasing the bliss
Uncovering the Marks of sin
Marks of sin

Living Curse
01:10
|
|
||
|
Tears of blood will fall
The sorrow of all
Won't quench the flow
Sink below
Flowers of black will bloom
Embrace the doom
The living curse
funeral dirge
Surface shimmering
drops away
Light so coveted
Always fades
The light will fade
The life will fade

The Vessel
01:37
|
|
||
|
Breathing smoke and spewing bile
Coughing hateful words so vile
Daylight burns them into stone
Waking shaking cold as bone
Traveler
Create a pathway to me
Possession
Mental cell living hell asleep
The body the vessel the flesh the fuel
Unseen hand moving chess piece tool
Traveler
Create a pathway to me
Possession
Mental cell living hell asleep
Do not mistake me for the mask I wear

Closer to Death
02:35

This house of grief will never fall
Structure will out last all
This house of ghosts will never fall
Structure of fear will outlast all
Knock knock
on coffin Top
And pray to god
there's no response
spoken and broken
in the same breath
Every step taken
Closer to death
And hope to sleep
and mourning wake
covenant
Made to break
This house of grief will never fall
Sorrows echo through empty halls
With every breath
Closer to death
