Cavum - Eternal Calling lyrics



Tracks



01. Empyreal Burden

The world is framed
through panes of glass
with cracks and imperfections

The winter air
bleeds through and calls
my name in chilling tongues

I look upon
a barren world
Lifeless, grey, with trees like veins

My bodies, filled
With longing woe

Take me from the light
lead me to the endless night
to be consumed by the numbing wind,
no longer me,
painless,
free

Among the stars
Orion's belt
Points me towards eternity

02. The Carcass Crown

Suffocating inhalation
sulfuric air,
acidic damnation.
like worms you writhe
in clouds you've fabricated

look to the sky
at all that you've created
Carbonic trauma,
a scar that never heals.
Go forth and weep with the annihilated

Breath in sludge,
the discharge of convenience.
Dissolve in fear,
but suffering begets suffering
Crawl for ground
to don the carcass crown
Ego as fuel
Racing towards your own extinction


Born from the Earth
and reclaimed by the Sun.
pray take someone else
death whispers there is no one

Breath in sludge,
the discharge of convenience.
Dissolve in fear,
but suffering begets suffering
Crawl for ground
to don the carcass crown
Ego as fuel
Racing towards your own extinct-ion

No prophecy
could halt
This growing blight
you saw the light
but closed
your suicidal eyes

Suffocating inhalation
writhe in clouds you've fabricated

No rain will come to wash away the pain
The gods have gone and left you for the flames

Breath in sludge,
the discharge of convenience.
Dissolve in fear,
but suffering begets suffering
Crawl for ground
to don the carcass crown
Ego as fuel
Racing towards your own extinct-ion

Suffocating inhalation
writhe in clouds you've fabricated
Suffocating inhalation
Die in clouds you've fabricated

03. Terrestrial Reclamation

The Earth will be reclaimed,
not by fire, but by the rain.
All things in time will flow,
back to the place from which they came

Concrete, tar, glass, and steel,
their strength erodes and they will kneel,
long after man has gone from Earth,
to ancient forces here from the birth

Man will become the Earth

Every building ever loved
and every love that had a name,
in time will turn to soil,
that starving life, will then reclaim

And after the last memory
has been lost to time and death
life on Earth continues
and breaths another breath

Man will become the Earth
His death will bring the rebirth

The wind will sing, no requiem for man
no requiem for man

04. Black Cascades

Black waterfalls cascade through my mind every night I'm set adrift
upon their churning waters

To places lost and vast
Forgotten lands from long past
Endless realm of mist
where time ceases to exist

Where the weary go
to forever lay their heads
The mournful call for their dead

Every morning I lie awake and wonder
when I'll see that place,
with open eyes locked onto

The water wake
The heavens shake

like a glacier falling
into a lake if ink,
Dark waves disrupt
this bleak tranquility,
I run my fingers
across the surface plane,
and feel the chill
of melancholic pain

With eyes locked on the water wake
the heavens shake,
they're trembling
There's nothing here inside this place
Just desolation

Every morning I lie awake and wonder
when I'll, see that place.
with open eyes locked onto
The water wake
The heavens shake

05. Scorn The Throne

Under it's spell
the candle flame
gleams across my eyes
As shadows dance
along the walls
I remain unblinking
Deep under trance
and deeper still
time comes to an end
I understand
the arcane truth
that I have never been

I am the void
My apathy
has made me naught

Angels would have cut their wings
and thrown them to the sea
Shattered their exalted thrones
just to sit beside of me

and yet I am alone
free to writhe beneath my sorrow

I'm lost, and there's no sign of light
memories, profound despair,
are in the air I breathe tonight
I'm drowning beneath the violent waves
my lungs have gorged, and now are filled
with the abyss that seeps into me now

I'm drowning

I am Naught, I am the void
Everything I was is destroyed
I am Naught, I am the void
Everything I was is destroyed

Angels would have cut their wings
and thrown them to the sea
Shattered their exalted thrones
just to sit beside of me
Shouting words of blasphemy
odium and spite.
Like a Leviathan howling
mockery at the light

and yet I am alone
free to writhe beneath my sorrow

06. Self-Anointed God

The lungs from within the ancient mother
are cut by the infant within her vital womb

As the mother bleeds and suffocates,
her body becomes the infants tomb

A rotting mausoleum

Better had this parasite
never been conceived
this thing that eats the very life
from which it was received
Never has there been alive
one so ripe for death
Never has one arrived
so perfectly grotesque

Hail to the self anointed god
who fell upon his sword of ignorance
hail, hail, hail.
Hail to the self anointed god

07. The Offering

The sun falls, turning everything to silhouettes,
the trees become the rafters,
holding up the sky,
cold starlight gleaming through, and my eyes are open wide
A cathedral rises from the very night itself,
and I fall onto my knees,
I lie my head down at the alter, offering

take what you want from me
take everything

Drown any air of segregation
All are composed of the decomposed

I return renewed
that which has been borrowed from you

Drown any air of segregation
All are of the decomposed

Break me down to elemental states
a fate from which there's no escape
no joy and yet there is no hate
Every facet of me blown-away,
like ashes in the wind

Drown any air of segregation
All are composed of the decomposed

Embrace me now
let me rot into the ground
I'll become soil
and I will enter your mouth
I'll nourish your roots
so you can continue to live
I'll die right here
with nothing left for me to give
I'll die right here
with nothing left for me to give
