The Land of the Under

They were happy as can be
Above the ground, above the sea.
Civilisation degenerates
And we’re all just heading down
And from the deadly solar rays
They hid from death in darkened caves
As the oceans obliterate
All our heads just keeping down
Say something
Same nothing
Keep pushing
Over the precipice
Down into the land of the under
And for the blood that it will bay
Will be for those who turned away
Before we could not respirate
As we all just fall down
Going in under
Going in under
Going in under
Down
Say something
Same nothing
Keep pushing
Over the precipice
Down into the land of the under

The Dead Planet
03:24
|
|||
|
The blue planet
The green sea
Is all absent
In vacancy
The red forest
Acrid sea
An empty earth
Human’s defeat
Mother nature, she don’t want you
Parasitic, and no virtue
Mine all the veins, gush forth endless
The whole planet under duress
You can’t escape
Indefinitely
Catastrophe
Is coming down upon your heads
You can’t escape
Sealed your fate
The human race
Is coming down around your heads
The flood desert
Tropics freeze
Snow and ash
In harmony
The dead planet
Has spun clean
No more, lifeless
And no disease
|

Waters arise
Tides cease to be
Head to the ships
Onto the sea
No signs of life
No shaded trees
The sea becomes the wife
Mercy of the breeze
We won’t know if the ship will hold
Or if it will fill with water
Fingers at our ankles cold
Will bring about a slaughter
We don’t know if the waves will drag
Our modest vessel under
Take every rich and rag
And tear our limbs asunder
Tempestuous
Demons underneath
Oh, we’re going down
Hell to us bequeath
Tempestuous
Oh, we’re going down
Oh, we’re going down
Oh, we’re going down
-------------------
Seven deadly sins
On humanity
Pinned on us like heathens
Debaucherous sons
Crucify but one
Distributed fear
Take, take these gifts we hold
All the wealth we bring
We will take it all
We take everything
Polypiety
Polypiety
Polypiety
Omnipotency
‘there’s my god’ says he
But no finger beckons
Prehistoric beasts
Grandiose we feast
Sacrificial heathens

One hundred souls on board
Survivors setting course
We sent our missionary
On a final odyssey
What does he have to lose?
Won’t even have to choose
Hoping that fate will guide
His way
Divagating on the ocean
On the whim of the vaguest notion
Divagating to the last shore
Two years in the vast expanse
Espies land in the far distance
Takes a step onto solid ground
Not aware of the hell he’s found
What does he have to lose?
Body begins to ooze
Fever begins to take a hold
Turn this key and you’ll be free of all
Trade your last human parts
Multiform

Ornithomancy
04:12
|
|||
|
In the skies we see a winged figure,
Aviary signals familiar.
Through the door the traveller, hell hath opened.
Now summon the augur,
Ornithomancy.
See, he reads the heavens.
Will he grace our presence?
Only he can question.
Ornithomancy,
Ornithomancy I, I want to be, I want
I want to feel tooth and claws,
I want to hear the call.
I feel my body wreck, I feel breath on neck
I feel everything, god what did we resurrect?
Superstitious wisdom through the ages,
But the subjects have now left their cages.
See the bird diviner, body broken
What is done, the augur, ornithomancy
See, he rules the heavens.
Malevolent essence
Teaches us a lesson.
Ornithomancy,
Ornithomancy I, I want to be, I want
I want to feel tooth and claws,
I want to hear the call.
I feel my body wreck, I feel breath on neck
I feel everything, god what did we resurrect?
