LANDMINE MARATHON

1. INHUMAN IN VANE

Screeching men
Twisted in ways
Inhuman in vane
We honor no death
No faces to stain us
He lies awake
He has no fate
He dies a slave

Hanging unnamed
Hanging blood stained
No reason no fate
With narrow escape
Left in the dust
A man and slave
A broken neck swinging away

Diminish all of his
Purpose and place
Scornful and regretful
Swinging away

Hanging unnamed
Hanging blood stained
No reason no fate
With narrow escape

Fawning over spawn
Creatures too dark to make-believe
Soaked shaking the hands
Rest on shoulders of fate

Chasms too wide
I know your face
Trenches too deep
I know your name
Body too weak
I know your face
Fingers will bleed
I know your name

Hanging unnamed
Hanging blood stained
No reason no fate
With narrow escape


2. THE WEAKER THE PREY

Death untold
We become the prey

Eyes ablaze
Deaf and dazed
Blackened paths
They betray

Running from a face unseen
Too weak to hide crawling through waste
Wounded with our own intellect
Purging of bodies saves the race

Face my eyes
As you hunt my soul
Undead cries
Of undead souls
Descend deny
Through nails
Through old
Betray my life
A death untold

Let winter preserve
The forgotten carnage
Let spring rot it all away
Twilight will emerge
We become the prey
Weaker is the mind
Of the unseen face

Waste my body
Burn my soul
Betray my life
A death untold


THE FUNERAL PYRE

3. TORCHED SKY

When the sun draws down
We'll set fire to the sky
The world, set ablaze
Diminished, left in haze
End to end, no country will stand
Torching the sky
Pieces fall from above until nothing remains
We'll set fire to the sky
Willing to let the earth die


4. ATTEMPT (ACME COVER)

Laugh you strike down my attempt
And say not what I really want to say
Things I say are too easy to take
All I can try is to set you thinking
Unfortunately it's up to you to change
It means to struggle inside
With your mind
I'll ever try I'll ever fight
You strike down my attempts
And I say not what I want to say
Too many emotions are in my way
