Famyne - II: The Ground Below lyrics



Tracks



01. Defeated

Feelings have faded and ground away
All this time I've played undefined in reasoned affair

We who seek a reason or why
Are returned defeated in time
We that bleed in reach for the sky
Are interred to cling for dear life

All this ancient forest, I've a nature to burn to the flame
All native grounds that stand defiant of what I've become

Belated it seems all connection to what I could feel
Being trained from a boy not to suffеr has raped all our joy

Yeah, I am another dеvout deliberator
Indecision is love

Visions of the past, a religion of descent
I'm chanting all the time, all the time in turn

Belated it seems all connection to what I could feel
Oh, being trained from a boy not to suffer has raped all our joy

02. Solid Earth

Waiting
High above the ground, I see a focus
Solid earth
Broken in time, undefined, lost at sea
The ground below looks good to me
I return

Slowed down to a crawl
A lack of life here
Grazing undefined by unbelief

Programmed
Tuned out the song in me
Friendless
I had not the time
The life in denial of decline was a lie
The dreams you love wait outside the mind
Solid earth

Free me to land, I've taken more than I can fight
Heed and covet thy own desire

Wasted all the days
In drifting on, my moat is dry, it's over
Walls undermined, it's over

Wasting all of the time
Lambs driven by hounds and half blind
Choking on our own resign
Dereliction defined
Routine is an armour half-designed
To carry me on and ferry me o'er the line
The line
The line

Waiting
High above the ground, I see a focus
Solid earth
Frozen in time, no decline or disease
The ground below loud calls to me
Solid earth

03. Gone

Wade over water
Shame in deceit

There's a prisoner falling in tow
All the blame lies with me

I'll be gone
Ever so am I humiliated
Never so denied, received and hated
Episodic low, breathing in slowly
Never saw me go, weaving into the night

If it's all deterioration
If that's all then mine's awasted in
Efforts all to recreate my life
Debtor's wall impedes creation
Endless hope and mine's been wasted enough
If a soul, if He could save my light

Having seen no mirth
I've been crawling for days on short leash
If they set my worth how am I rated?

Maybe it's not alright
Maybe it's not a life
Maybe it's not a life
Maybe it's not a life

04. A Submarine

Failure
Lies endlessly
Cold reader
Cries in his sleep
A minaret
Caught in a stream
Hold in a place
And see it flow to the top
A submarine
Floating after all you know
Laid inside the mines you hold
A submarine
Blazing after all you know
Takes inside the mind you hold
And it will take you when you go
A submarine
Lies under me
And so buried
Immense, it binds ahold
A submarine
Lies so buried
A submarine
Ancient minds you hold

Concede and free your grip over me
Come now to life and die fighting me
Bleed into my well
The carnal mindfire
Grieve until unwell

Grieve in silence, they already know
Grieve in silence, they already know

Grieve in silence, they already know
Grieve in silence, they already know
Grieve in silence, they already know

05. Babylon

City
Stone
Cold
Reason
Unfeeling
With no meaning
Or honour

Pity
Lines
The gutter
Born customer
Ceased believing

Blind teller
Blackmailing

What's left to buy
But reason to compare?
Find no delight
In being self-aware

Strive till the night
Blinded by despair
Vie for the light
Never see an end

No let up
Forever

Faith is
Ne'er enough
Emptied of meaning
Days have become
Bathed in carrion
Given all warning
I actеd not

Life's cinder's fading
Liars and schemas
Thеy tie to me
Bind to me
Anchor me down

It has become
Obvious to me now
This nightmare
Amputated
My pride
Cut off all wanting
Yet I survive

You see
I had reasons enough
Given up hoping
I acted not

Turn back
You've reasons enough
You won't get out
You are tied to me
Still

Loser
You won't get out
You can't escape me
You're frightened to leave

06. Once More

I lay
Encircled, belied
Delayed
In need, passive, blind
Like many
Awake in the night
Falling
Through endless divide
Freed in dreams that pacify
Freed of my own endless fight

Beyond the finite only she can see
In light denied her form but still she won't die
Sirene
Awaits in the night
Sirene
That ancient divine

Night is falling and I'm free once more
Full moon rising like my soul to Heaven
Sirene guides me right to sights in time
Wasted liеs, they blind my Sirene's еyes

Wasted victim of the time
Of design
Loaded down
Broken child
Awaken on once more

Twilight dawn
Faces on

07. The Ai

Strip aside the Ai so heavy
There is no refrain till Whitsun
All conceive the lie, so many
Actor in a play you've written

Aweight at sea the Ai remains on
Be gone the past, a weight, I lift it off
With the force of life

Gripped inside the Ai, sore many
After all are slain, be, lead your life
Apathy, the lie you carry
Cast it on the flame, truth, rebirth

Aweight at sea the Ai remains on
Be gone the past I wasted, years on end

Break down to save your life
Become in transmigration and return

08. For My Sins

Left in what I'm ceded, paths I didn't take
Oh, what will become of all?
The dreamers have awoken now
All that was at once is swallowed whole

Fate caught, enslaved me
Turn your head and flee

Floating on, grief held in
Dissolving all the worth there is
A pleasant outer wall, a livid inner being
None cognizant to what I am

Abortive symphony
Regret, it grows in size
Forever without worth
Hang your head in shame

And after all I still believe in is seen crumbling
After all I seek to flamеs have been flung
I'll be damned to bеgin
Yet I seem beloved for my sins
Be guaranteed the wave will engulf
Engulf
And after all I still believe in is seen crumbling
After all I seek to flames have been flung
I'll be damned to begin
Yet I seem beloved for my sins
Be guaranteed the wave will engulf
Engulf
