Cinis (PL) : Subterranean Antiquity
Lyrics
1. THE EDIFICE CRASHES
(Instrumental)
2. THE FIRST MANIFESTO
Burn us down - we shall rise from the ashes
Our ancestors - for aeons they stand
The newly-born - so weak, so crippled
So proud and destined to fall
Behold! How the edifice crashes
As if burdened, tired we bend
Let them think so, that we feel belittled
'Till we obey our ancient call
For those who bend, curious they do so
And age is not why we're covered with moss
Cracks and vines, sages scarred and wrinkled
Fearsome and wise
The newly-born, brainless and odious
Their lineage is none, in void they are born
Their makers see powers in numbers
Soon there'll be none at all
3. FULLY OSSIFIED
Progressive ossification
Existence trapped in stone
Dreadful calcification
Flexibility gone
Stiffening joints
When you choose
The position to remain in
Forever
Then a moment comes
When you find
There is nothing left
To choose
Progressive ossification
Of life and limb
4. DARKNESS IN WAVES
Steel and glass, humanity gravesite
In the dark, we shall rise
A forbidden zone, we stand alone
All-sweeping eyes and
A spear into their hearts
A palace of glass, abomination of soul
Darkness in waves of many shades
Plate-glass is melting, your reign now ending
A transparent window, in my plastered wall
Daemons with eyes of so many lives
Running away, from their own tales
Corporate bullshit, always the same
We crush them
A palace of silver
The trust is unreal, chaos-control
Souls fed by lies from ensconced minds
In your mind's eyes: a crown
On kings' heads and on broken swords
A palace of gold
Regain what is ours, with each passing hour!
5. VILE ANGELS
Mute screams of pain, angels depart
Morbid gods with selfish thoughts
Centuries of immortality are reopened
Our final mission comes to an end
Vile angels
Darkness falls back to the Earth
Vile angels
Human corpses no longer weakened
Vile angels
Files obsolete, their rule annihilated
Blessed with venom and spite
Daemonic chapels, steel and glass caskets
The head, with a mind of greed
Vile angels rule this world no more
Vile angels
Darkness falls back to the Earth
Vile angels
Human corpses no longer weakened
Vile angels
Files obsolete, their rule annihilated
Our bloodstained swords
Vile angels, no glory in their eyes
Legions of greed, their heads caved-in
And time, which has come...
Now!
6. SNAPSHOT
Motion of bodies
Tied in clusters
Flow of thoughts above and inside
Concrete
Torrents of hours, night and day
Down to dusk
Glimpses of genius
Hours of fear
Decades of embarrassment
From 9 AM to
And this time it's
"You know, I really..."
Too late, too fast, to soon
Ideas of no shape
Still, inborn, beautiful
Conceived yet unfinished
Theoretically perfect
This is our time
Endless but suprisingly
Finite
7. FUTURE IMPERFECT
Corroded cast-iron
Oxidized frames
Overcrowded hallways
Futureless, in pain
Returned to raw state
Replaced with past
Remoulded masses
Redone - Depart
Disfigured frameworks
Dust-covered tiles
Demolished inside
Decaying in time
Exacerbate!
Eliminate!
Evaporate!
Eradicate!
Staircases, featureless
Cast, shapeless
Hopless
Cases!
8. ARCHITECTURAL ANTIQUITY LIES DORMANT
Incomprehensible shapes
Among ancient abodes
Incongruous and abhorred
They rise, their tiles like thorns
Inconvenient sheds
Alone aflame and gone
Dilapidated, torn
They fall, their tenants - worms
Their charred poles and beams
Earth and air they feed
Crushed under newborn bodies
Of abominations
Gaining strength in rot
With centuries worth of soul
Gaining strength in dirt
They incubate in filth
Gaining will in rot
Dissolved but kep unharmed
Gaining will in dirt
They wait embraced by earth
Cubic shapes and plate-glass doors
Fake gargoyles and countless stores
Bold and proud they grow distended
The waiting wrath just grows offended
9. SUBTERRANEAN PROCESS OF REBIRTH
Deeper down, deep hollow sound
Dimention of non-existence
Reduced to debris, pathetic and sick
The remnants of memories distant
Demolished or burn
Or otherwise
Obliterated
Once kept intact
Cherished, tended
With burden of grief
Or tendency
To stay complete
Once brought to life
They linger
By force of reversed entropy
United by ancient memory
Dissolved pieces stay conscious
Of themselves and of revenge
Subterranean tunnels
In darkness enshrouded
Dense and moist and fertile
Refuse to hold things vile
The soil whose sons and daughters
They once were
Lends them her eternal hand
Bodes them to rise again
The everlasting eye
Slowly opens
10. INDEX: A. ABSURDITY
Your safety ensured
In 5-year gaps
When you are spoken to
Condensed trite
Paper piles up
Be careful with flames
The index, absurdities:
Be careful with liquids
Avoid spills
Electricity, bacteria, dusy
Death
Last but not least
Due compensation
11. NOTHING
Accident, disability, death
In a well-defined, classified set
If in doubt, inquire
Then wait
Go to court
Sue them
Then pay
Safe and sound
All around
Paper in piles
Eventually
You shall be smothered and crushed
