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 |
