02. Neonate

You're free from your womb now
But this maternity ward is a feeding ground
Don't look back for ages
Your mother's toothy smile can smell you for miles

You too will eat your young
Consume all that crosses your path
Each morsel may be your last
Never cling like the remora
To those who spawned you in the past
You too will eat your young
When there's only enough for one
In times of need this must be done
From womb to gut it has begun

Eat your young
The songs of giants lure you
Will you follow, their scents of gluttony tempt you
Will you follow?
Energy is precious and journey long
Feed now and breed again
The birth is food, now feed on

Tides pull and convince their direction is the best
Waves hide all that lies well beyond their crest
You too will eat your young
From womb to gut it has begun
Eat your young

03. Versus The Siren

She wails and whispers longingly
Calling out to those no longer listening
Her sweet incantations lost in infamy
Siren fools no one but still she will sing

Fall just like those before you
I will,
Fall just like those before you
Pass still
Her lure can redirect the oldest currents
Countless have fallen before where winged feet will soar

Fall just like those before you
I will,
Fall just like those before you
Pass still,
On by,
And I will
Pass still,
On by

04. Ampullae Of Lorenzini

Why weren't you here
When I stood alone
You won't believe all that I've learned
And all that I have known

She pulls me through, all of her bodies calling out magnetically
Her depths hide nothing from me
I befriended deepest fathoms and returned stronger still
Starving for your praise at the crest of every swell

I find dissuasion of tides
She uses no words to reveal her deep
Your shallows blur all that you speak
To the equal before me
I find dissuasion of tides

05. Summit

Waiting for the sun
To burn away the season
Revealing the place we called home
Built by our blood and our blood alone

We will find our summit again
This blood does not flow through her veins
As she walks on floors my mother laid
Sheltered by the roof it will take more than the snow
To bury all that you have known

Waiting for the sun
To burn away the season
Revealing the place we called home
Built by our blood and our blood alone

Soon will come the winter's end
We will find our summit again
It will take more than the snow
To bury all that you have known

07. Revolution In The Water

When you looked towards the heavens
You faced the wrong way
Your actions slaughter saints to whom you need pray
No need to take communion, you've been feeding all along
On ancient existence
As old as time is long

The rising sun desecrates the embodiment of a blue earth
Destroying the balance of a system in place since all life's birth

Revolution in the water
Untold treasures lay hidden inside
Bodies left plunging
A black hell awaiting

Don't swim through the water here
Don't feed from the food found here
What floats above all men must fear

08. Metridium Field

Must we swim on forever?
In search of where the light breaks
Pipelines must end somewhere
Twenty kicks into the abyss
