2. THE GRINDING GEARS OF TIME

A hundred rays of idiocy shine
Soul with earth binds more
Building the chosen animal minds
For all to see, yet few comprehend

No truth

No escape from prison flesh
No space above. No space for flight
Obey the threads of control
Cancerous fear and fright

The mouth that feeds for eyes that see
The mind giving rush. The Hand takes away
Taking it all, in silent shadow

No escape from prison flesh
No space above. No space for flight
Cancerous fear and fright

No truth

Nothing as it ever was
Forever as it ever was
Again the hidden sickness
By other's means the scourge
The wheel ever revolves
The prison ever close
Again dust becomes
And senseless be as ever

No escape from prison flesh
No space above. No space for flight


3. WOLVES FOR THE THROAT

Core of acid eating all alike
Blissfully forgetfully ignorant
No recollection of a time before
Lighter souls but fouler goals
You can't even help yourself
No truth other than the cosmic way
A ride of colorful illusions
Better places loom across.

Nether waters call, there is no escaping
Nether waters call, there is no escape

Sirens singing for true reason
The lighter soul, your doom
Sirens singing for true reason
The fouler way, your doom

No memory, no learning
The cursed stone rolls down again
Grinding the way, turning as always
Moving the wheel, running it in
Your mind hushed to silence
Your body made of death
The earth from which we came
A stone of sacrifice

Long live the rusted veins
Long live the trusted loins
Multiply at any cost

Long live the wet hull
Long live the red eye
Multiply at any cost


4. RAVENS FOR THE EYES

Rusted veins, Trusted loins
Wet hull, Red eye
Spirit cancer, Growing mind

Contract, expand
Infect, grow
Scald, sear
Hate, fear
Rot, fall
Purge, crawl

Contract, expand
Infect, grow
Wet hull, Red eye

See only silent red
