Exhumation 05:57
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 06:50
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?

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

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
