Spider Tales 05:19
The sand runs through my veins; a replicated warmth Displaced and unafraid - the separator formed Fall right through my hands, erased singularity Entwined in lethargy The stone I threw myself Blades jutting from the maw: coarse in finality Lamps lit against the frost - a shroud through which I see Waste away the years, and still without a cause This tattered standard a love for which we've fought We're faking, boarded up and laced with hate Forsaking the promise of your divine estate I did this to myself I made it seem okay I tied the noose myself I hung it with the weight Still aching, commiserate my memory Earth shaking beneath the souls of swinging feet Float along the brink of madness, and with this shred of doubt... Swingin' and swayin' - you're swingin' for me I did this to myself I made it seem okay I tied the noose myself I hung it with the weight of a life without you. Without you.

I was saved by the light she shed Glistening; a little piece of the action My mistress beckons from her bed Gazing on my form (The baying hounds in the distance) I don't want to fight you anymore I've got a little secret, wait and see I'm a living nightmare And I'm terrified of what the look in your eye intends Lest our voyage end The silver is your friend Stalking among the silhouettes Thoughts of insurrect (And how I long for the lucid) A wicked hour of self-reflect Lain among the shadows of her face I don't want to feel you But I've got a little secret coming for me Sparing just a moment for my name Lay me at the altar of decay Born out of Lycosuran haze Invite the simple call to eat To eat meat

Drifting through the void Mouthing every name Prayers for swinging ghosts Martyred in their shame I took the life of those I've loved I saved anguish to rise above Decayed echoes of before Singing as they seethe Voices of the earth aching to be freed From the yards of bone Faces in the trees whisper to me I forgot myself A lasting madness conquers me Flee this waking hell A feeling I won't live to breathe Safe from numbers, wait and see Their milky-eyed soliloquy

Slogear 02:36
I find it easy enough to grasp - the inevitability of time's collapse The sobering fragility of love and hate A silent soliloquy from Mother Fate Will the sense and sensibilities of modern life Cleanse the spattering of blood from the shine of your knife? Will your selfish convictions set you free From the shameful guilt you hung from this tree? I will feed upon the anthems you lift on high: These contagions you've infected with a hellish pride Now stir into the mixture just a pinch of lust A page torn free from a book you trust As I seep into the floorboards, here begins the ache The infallible calamity you've yearned to make Still, the heave of self-reflection keeps the candles lit At the altar of perception, bend your knees and commit So rally the townsfolk, and sharpen the ax - There's a payment past-due on my death tax. Bless the holy water, and ready the pyre, And seal my tomb with a web of iron

Eights 04:15
Tugging ever at the back of my mind: The possibility of waking nightmares A callous mention of the spit you hold Without a second thought, now fading fast I leave my body behind! Another flurry is the dark whisperer Beyond the influence of mortal mercies Perpetuating all the truth between body and soul The face you wear: a dripping mask I leave my body behind! Antiquate our beliefs, set in motion your will Ancient empire, ritual fire Breakers upon the rocks bringing news of the spoils The beast below us, the beast below us The scene is set and I wanted was an out Slipping away into this viscous anomaly Deafened by echoes of the past, your love betrayed Please still me with your gaze Will I still wonder if your real, or just a matter of mind? Do I belong beneath the earth, or is it not my time? I wanted to fight it, I needed to feel it! I bled my goodbyes with the tears of tired eyes Your light has fled my life, but I still reach for the knife I left my body behind.
