Lyrics


1. REVERSE BAPTISM

Crawl,
Death

God won't save you
You wont save me
oasis of filth
beginning my birth
god won't save you
You won't save me
Oasis of filth
Beginning my birth

To spring from nowhere
And there I returned
Black mass
Of no opening

God won't save you
You wont save me
Oasis of filth
Beginning my birth
God won't save you
Oasis of filth

And one thing more
Teach me to hate

Crawl,
Death


2. UNFIT FOR HUMAN LIFE

Gun to my head
Crawl through my hate
Shackled to stone
But free to go
Mental prison
Gods right hand man
Lift the fucking earth to the kiln
And watch it melt
Watch it burn and watch it then turn to dust
And watch it melt
Watch it burn and watch it then *turn to dust
I built towers on that hill you died on
I'm forever
You're forgotten
Like all dead things
Bury them all
Mental prison
Men of woes
Make you sicker
Make you mine
How can I leave
Leave this life?

Harbinger of what's to come
Futile bid, midnight sun
Cast away these things I love
Burdened by this agony
Make you sicker
Make you mine
How can I leave
Leave this life?


3. SOLITUDE ILLUSION

Born to die
Born to hate
Born to lie
Born to hide
Born to run
Born to lie
Born to you
Born to die
Born to sink

I bred this tale
Swallowed by time

A hole in the sky
A life I won't lead
A moment of us
This all painful truth
This will be our death
A tale swallowed by
Sorrow and by time
We dug up our hearts
And these altars here
We built shrines in hours

I walked in front of those eyes
I won't do it again
Gone that wretched stare I saw
Golden chalice good to house a god
I walked in front of those eyes
I wont do it again
Gone that wretched stare I saw
Golden chalice good to house a god

I bred this tale
Swallowed by time


4. DECONSTRUCTION OF THE GREAT IMMOVABLE

I want to put my heart to sleep
To suture this wound
To mend the gulf of wanting
Bade me my spirit
you break my will
you break my body
I want to put my hands to rest
My back to the Dawn
I become, become life
If only my heart could talk
Give loss, everything

Rest in the yellowed moss
Branches above
Leafless grey
now can my body die?
Hollow trunk the same as I
there was no point to this beautiful
artless work
A life removed
Branches above
Leafless grey

I want to put my heart to sleep
to suture this wound
to mend the gulf of wanting
bade me my spirit
you break my will
You break my body

I am my god

I went to embrace this new world
Just as this flame in front of my eyes
Flickered and burned low
And finally died out
I became the earth
To ferry our vast black souls into the nothing
And never return
Now can my body die?
And never return, return


5. CRAWL OFF AND DIE

I want the whole world to drink from my cup
I want an ocean
Ocean of bodies

Sea of hate
Hills of decay
Only see skies through rotting corpses
Where light,
Light slips through
Do you fear dreams I consume

Wider evil, wretched course
Body feeble, nothing worse
What you put in your head's there forever
You forget what you want to remember
What you put in your head's there forever
You remember what you want to forget

I want the whole world to drink from my cup
I want an ocean
Ocean of bodies

You hate me
But so do I
Spirit corrosion
Nothing to give
All but hidden
Heart eroded
Do you see me
I am endless

Wider evil, wretched course
Body feeble, nothing worse.


6. BARELY ANY REASON TO BE ALIVE

Close your eyes and give up
There's no light to lead us
Pillars swallowed by sand
Crosses covered in dust
Whats the point of praying
If God has left us
Can you make a life of
Celebrating weakness
Say yes to heaven
Say yes to death
Say yes to heaven
Say yes to me

Watch us die or crawl off
Speak into the blackness
Your judges are weakness
They feast on your heart

Rip my guts out
Tied around my neck
Make the noose fit
It's fucking hideous
Hand that feeds
Hand that leaves gets bit
We're taking every
Thing we want but cant keep
A world without you
Is a world made of fire
Another life of weeping to do or die in
Feel this pain consume me
Delusion and a snare


7. SISYPHEAN CRUELTY

Live beside my anger
When there's no one left to judge
Bare parts of myself I'll destroy

The bridge between here and heaven
The lines between

Live beside my anger
When there's no one left to judge
Bare parts of myself I'll destroy

The bridge between here and heaven
Hell and here
I drink it in
Hell and here

Live beside
My anger of myself
I'll destroy


8. ONE LAST DREAM

The first time I have failed
Hold my hand as you fade
I see your skin so pale
You aren't the man I knew
Cold, your gaze turns so blue
You see me standing here
Have you forgotten too?
I'm more than you'll be you

Another one of your little tests
A maze to drown in, a life of rest
He carries the heads of Cerberus
Throw yourself a bone, my son
What's a challenge if not
Too close to the sun?
A hole in my house where the rain comes
A hole in my head where the bullet left
A brother I loved and I killed

Hold my hand as you fade
I see your skin so pale
You aren't the man I knew
Cold, your gaze turns so blue
You see me standing here

This beast beneath my floorboards
The graves hidden in my walls
Seeing bodies turned to dreams
Selling heaven in perfect boxes

You fear blood more and more
Blood and time, more and more
