Exhumation

Leave your words behind, their burden too pressing to bear
Mark my skin with your breath, burning verse into my bones
Take the wind to holy water and rest on the shore
Stain my hands with sacred crimson
Eye forever looks to the sky
Light the way for my procession
Exhumed corpses rise for the passing of the crown to the Earth
Singing to the clouds, a chorus of isolation
Bringing forth the rain that welcomes your new beginning
And I've seen mountains fall and I've seen stars collide
And now you bury me, I've never felt so small
Light the way for my procession with flames born of my fears
Show me beyond the gate
Mind encased in tomb of flesh and spirit stripped of worth
Exhumed corpses rise and drag me to the Earth

Drowning

No warning was given, I was drowned in this river
Thrown against the stone at the first sign of morning
I’ll reach the depths by the light of the moon
Just like you said, I couldn’t keep my head at the surface
Eyes bloodshot red, I’m drifting lifeless without purpose
Was this my destiny?
The war in my head is killing me
Was this to be my fate?
Cannibalise myself to stabilise, stay alive
Sustaining resonant revenants haunting my eyes
These ghosts won’t leave me be
The dogs of war have been fed
And now they bark, now they bark so malignant
Was this my destiny?
The war in my head is killing me
Was this to be my fate?

Climb My Bones

Lost in transition
Transient ambience transforms amorphous
Light beams for malicious energy transferal
I’m not giving up hope
Sometimes it’s easier to choke
Climb my bones
and I know we’ll clear the smoke
Four lines mark my weakness
My sickness that won’t heal
It takes me, and breaks me, and holds me down
Find me face down in the ground
These wounds seem to heal
Cascading through endless wheels
Falling through my head, alone in the dark
A chance exchange of pain to bring my hands back to my reins
I’m not giving up hope
Sometimes it’s easier to choke
Climb my bones
and I know we’ll clear the smoke

Sons of Mourning
09:12

Bury your sense of pride
Open your eyes to these blood stained lies
Sisters’ hands fall, grey
The lies you tell yourself as you lie awake
Won’t save you when your death is near
We won’t mourn your death
Your system is built on flesh
Cowards bury words
Silent cries, human lives broken by the hands of invasion
Now in isolation, no justice, just fear
Judgement’s congregation too blind to hear
Sisters stand alone
How can you be so quick to blame the victim
But so quick to victimise yourself?
We won’t mourn your death
Your system is built on flesh
Reap of the sons of mourning
