1. GRADUAL TIMESLIP

Awaken burning
Holding a torch
A pyre
Of unbound living light
Burdened
Unconcious
Feeling for a pulse
Discomfort
Nihility
Impassioned denial
What truth is beholden
Masked by ignorance
Consuming god for what?
Consuming time for whom?


2. HEAT DEATH FROM THE PYRE

Heat death
Conciousness
Blistered
Calloused
Cast adrift
Unmoored from meaning
Cursed to be
Forever in motion
A revelation
That nothing has inherent value
The road to…(nothingness)


3. BURDENED BY SOLAR MASS

To be so paralyzed
At the prospect of drawing
Another breath
Of seeing another dawn
Only cosmic annihilation
Makes sense
Feels real
Converting private anxiety
To genocide
Sunshine to darkness
Alchemy in reverse


4. SPHERE OF SATURN

Miter perched atop the head
Over teeming crowds of ignorant lovers
Insurgent thoughts
Dangled over the heads of all men
Becoming
To rise alone to great violence
I must, for you
Each day, for you
Each breath, for you
The heat death of stone walls
Irradiated from dirty bombs
Dead cells
Misgrowth
Blindness
Abound


5. HEMLOCK GNOSIS

What good can there be?
What good can there ever be?
When no one can even remember?
No lessons learned.
An empty mirror.
A fevered dream.
An ignored truth half-revealed.
One last failed attempt.
One pathetic last effort.
Give it the old college try,
see if it makes any difference.
This sickening stench.
This foul vapour of defeat.
Permeates these stinking wounds.
Minutes drag me closer.
Shambling under the archway.


6. BLESSED ANATHEMA

Cordoned aside
For another black dream
Imprisoned
Bleached floors
Surrounding parasitic mindfulness
Altruistic obedience
A burden for another
A burden for thee
Needles burrowing
Over every inch of skin
Droplets in a vial
A tithe for the good
A lesson in purity
Martydom owed in any form


7. FACING THE DIVIDE

Curl up
Give up
Become worthless
Defy natural order
Deny natural divinity
Eat from the bounty
Of another scavenger
From the dreams of others
Pillaged surroundings
Encircle you
Environs violated
Brow beaten
Silenced
Crows call your name
From the darkness
Beckon you return


8. APPROACHING THE MONOLITH

(No lyrics available)


9. EXTINGUISHED GLOW

To gaze at the stars
And imagine them extinguished
Light in retraction
Darkness rushing outward
In a single ray
To wish for peace
The peace of inhospitable planets
The peace of no life
Desolate
Barren


10. COMMON MIRACLES

Witness rebirth
Common miracles
A timeline of illumination
Spread out over the edges of consciousness
Sifting generations
Like sand through filters
Timber for the pyre
For unseen ends
Boiled down to a point,
Can you feel joy
In the nonentity of being?
In the raw truth of your little death?
Can you?


11. IRRADIATED SANDS

The road to damascus
Worthlessly plundered
A full stop with no stimulus
Ossified through processes
Poured through a filter
Stifling intellectual prisons


12. PARALYTIC LINEAGE

Hunger of animals
Splitting of ribs
A bounty for traitors
Blood stained jawlines
Amongst these dogs,
Who am I to rise above them?
Submit to wanton desires
Allow rage to consume
Taste the ichor of another
Absorb their past as your own
Erase lineage
Burn offspring
When dawn breaks
Bring down the sun too
