Vision
00:56
|
|||
|
We speak in tongues forked
Our impaired vision shared
We lay poison, lest be found with hands ensanguined
Martyrdom’s catechumens
Take the poison lest be bound to Earth, abandoned
Death is the only kindness
In the wake of progress
Death, our final protest

Shareholder

My skin peeled
Your wounds grafted
It's your war
I got drafted
The shareholders relish the spoils
Freedom is relative
Peace is an unmarked grave
Too deep for your piss to reach me

Vessel
00:37
|
|||
|
Monuments to dominance
Succumb to the storm
Raging beneath us
The war is home
Choirs of sirens score our scenes
Compelled
Devoted
Evermore

Containment
00:49
|
|||
|
The palace wires throb like veins
Dominion ties severed and bleeding
In service of your mercy
In service of your wrath
You make the peace, I keep it
Baptism drownings
Burials in higher moral ground

Depleted
Deflated
Defeated
We were but too few sutures in a wound
Conscripted to constructs constrictive
Thankless labour of aimless days
Another body on the pile
Another brick in NeoBabel

Contingency
01:30
|
|||
|
Our borders have fallen
If there is time
Demonstrate to our captors your unwavering patriotism
And assume the victory position
Front lawn, face up, feet together
Muzzle to the roof of your mouth
Our united resolve
Defeat is unacceptable
|

Virtue
00:46
|
|||
|
Ambition of the many fell prey to one’s success
Immersed in heaven’s reflection, the evidence
No virtue in patience
Time marches against us
Option paralysis
To perish or acquiesce
What god would allow it?
What god could forgive it?
What god?
