Savages
03:55

An idiosyncrasy, uncommon questions filter through
Superior by all means, disenfranchised savages
Contemplate their place in the ground
What lies beneath
Above, that hateful star
Depriving them
Falling short of perfection
Raping the stratosphere
Perfect perfection glooms
Sunbeams wish to claw through
Uninhabitable, though persistent
Crops fail, minds wither
A near-global extinction event
Contemplation and prayer
Compressed into a cancerous lineage
Your design, our desire
A wreath for those that exist only in fire
An offering of both incantation and hypothesis
Faded lines in between
Like rays once upon the skin
WHY
BLIND
SIGHTS
What have we missed
WHY
MUTE
SPEECH
What's that you said
Where are my eyes
Cold is my tongue
Flesh tastes of stone
Guess the deed's been done
The colours have faded
The spectrum sparsely itches their sinew
They'll be recreated
Born into abhorrent sin
No green pastures
No reason to exist
Primitive beyond primitive
Yet those blessed rays still persist

Nuclear Hymn
03:56
|

Gather round, heed the words of Father Earth
Barren patriarch
Ordered to do as thou wilt
Do better, be better, you'll be better than them
Lead with fist and iron
Slay the non-believers, filthy sadists
Perverting me and mine
Cut down
Made to quake at the symbol of my truth
Atom smashers by trade, a lost tradition
Our star continues to forgive
Forgive us
Don't forgive me
Forget us
Forget me
Shame rains down, blisters hope
Irradiates our dirty blood
Ye disenchanted savages
Woe betide thee, by Atom's name
Hear my sermon upon the toxic mount
I bend a knee and doff my cap to their efforts
As for their preachers
A plague of violence erased
O winter, teach us
As we wait out our final days
One by one
Thy kingdom come
Irradiate
The pustulous waltz
Their flesh melts
Washed away in the rain
DNA: corrupted
Memory deleted
Legacy of ash
Bereft of thought and ideals
Tin soldier, binary excision
Technolocide
Vehemently I spit upon their shattered flesh
And sneer at the crude technologies
Once believed to eradicate us
Peering o'er the canyon
Revealing a swift eye
Mockingly perverse
Gargantuan mass
Have they returned
Cloak and dagger priest
They speak their tendrilled mantra
ZI MA BU E TER

Black Rain
03:54
|
|||
As we celebrate their end
Mounds of waste engorge
Depleting their last resource
No mere mortals may resist
What awaits beyond this ash
Correction
No test-run could have readied me
Erect and steady, I arrive
Eye affixed, I ejaculate
Health beleaguered, I awaken
I shall baptise them with my seed
My true weapon
They know not of its origin
DESPOILER
All will be one 'neath black rain
Under the foreign sun, she wanes
Baptised in black rain
Curious, like vultures to carrion
COLD
Bones crack, skin melts
BLOOD
Blood evaporates in veins
TOXIC
Only after their savage remains
LIE
Beneath the sediment
May the council make their true return
All will be one 'neath black rain
Under the foreign sun, she wanes
Baptised in black rain
Curious, we should meet again
