AFTER THE BURIAL LYRICS

1. Berzerker

On your guard as you lurk along the sand.
A paper face won't mask your fear.
Unrelenting consequences for this inquisition.
Venture forth and give yourself away with the scent of unfamiliarity
for razor teeth their human silk they long to sever unsuspecting flesh.
To drink a carcass dry is to taste the Sunderban.
Mighty one never forget never forget why your skin is thick.
Die defending that which your heart keeps closest.
The taste of vengeance is so much sweeter on the blackest of lips.
The wind whispers trespass a call for an end.
Take up your arms set your sights.
Never fear theres always more blood.
Retaliate at ease mighty one this war is not one of your own.
The king returns to claim his throne.
A humble crown adorns his noble brow.
As the killing season comes to a close take whats left and start again.
As you strive to regain all aspects of your grief ridden live living
each day with strength found in your heart.

2. Drifts

Oh so fucking cold.
The winds the drifts of winter bone chilling nightfall.
Early evening sundowns make nights seem more like Borealis dreams.
My roots run deep through my veins my ancestry.
Everything I know in body and soul lakeland this is all I know look to
the river rushing unparalleled in its power.
It carves away at the land eroding the banks consuming the sands and
washes away to her majesty.
They say theres no place like home and they said it best Ive realized
what this place means to me.
Lakeland I can see my reflection in the land.
I see my form and I know the land reflects my Self.
It reflects in my Self.

3. Cursing Akhenaten

Awaken ruinous fiend of early generations.
Your rotting corpse is restored.
Straighten your limbs brush off the dust withered bandages restrain you no more.
Severed heads accent the gates bones emerge from the sands proof of your reign remains.
I your liege now command your rule again.
The sun burns through the skin boiling your vital organs within.
But the gods can't destroy my cursed blackened heart.
Appeasing the thirst of the damned mocking the praised ones.
The sand soaks the blood the blood flows like wine send death from above.
Locusts and famine engulfing your race my savagery knows no end.
At the price of all your lives I destroy your kind death by my hand.
Sands blowing across cursed lands will consume the evidence of your ancient existence.
The Earth is now black from the torment I have set upon it.
All shall bow serve and praise thy name.

4. Rareform

A thousand times too many times I've fallen back out of place from a dream.
The bright sunlight a rude awakening like I'm seeing the colors leave the brush for the wall.
That's when, into: I reach into memories I long to re-live those times those younger days.
If only time would stop stand still maybe I could see myself.
What I've become it's sickening this isn't me.
No turning back now, no turning around.
I'm disappearing into my dreams I'm vanishing into the air.
Liberation I'm free from all of this.
Now I must go dissipate into the light.

5. Aspiration

Victim of anger tied to distance.
Where does it come from?
Distrust I've stood strong held my head high through constant war.
So brutal so violent.
So I tiptoe through conversation a lapse in my step is misperceived
Unleash a breath of salvation in dormancy lies everlasting rage.
Remember all the fires we started our aspirations for progression.
we feed the burning for a better day don't let your selfishness extinguish the flame.
Prevailing with lasting intentions.
Never living behind your back.
Convictions leave me questioning if you've been living behind mine.

6. The Fractal Effect

This is where you pick yourself up brush off the ashes.
Clear the smoke and soot from your eyes.
Their word brings desperation just look around you.
Renewed vision reveals the lies.
My truth will be my own.
You say it doesn't matter get used to fear.
I tell you that's the problem get used to the lies.
They mislead your pride.
You blind them with your light just strand this from the mind.
You say it doesn't matter get used to fear.
I tell you that's the problem.
What its done to you the way you live your life.
Pick yourself up.
What its done to you the way you live your life.
A state of empty bliss and empty state of mind.
A state of empty bliss pulled into the depths dragged out with the tide.
My truth will be my own and not the one they gave me.

7. Ometh

I'm falling away from myself away from who I used to be.
Arid skin cracked and torn.
I peel it away.
A change for the better to harness the strength and rise more powerful.
Now more powerful than ever.
A decrepit self once animate now abandoned and left to rot.
Nothing to be salvaged nothing to be saved.
Now follow the thrashing thought of your dream to exist.
Pursue what may never come.
Releasing demons and banishing them to the depths of bloody memories and regrets.
The outer shell is decomposing releasing a new upgraded self.
Bleeding ink reveals the price of expansion.
Push it down hold its hideous face below the water watch what was become never again let nothing stop you for when it lived it showed no mercy now show it no remorse.
Cut compassion from your mind forget what it means to cherish life.
Now follow the thrashing thought of your dream to exist pursue domination.

8. A Vicious Reforming Of Features

Creator as Observer congruent systems collapsing mutating waveforms to become sight sound touch.
A sick perception is now my only link to reality sorched eternally blistering yet I prevail.
My merciless plan of creation etails seeing the unseen forge an abomination to annihilate with a cold hearted sense of compassion devastation.
Thy vicious modus operandi.
Observer as Creator beguiling unstable electric forms.
These tools of judgment they thirst for unpure.
Draining a carcass devour the contaminate and filth that roamst amongst us sterilizing out human forms.
Shredding tissue fracturing bone.
Burning synapse rewiring conscious.
A brutal reforming of features a hideous cleansing of God.
Self Purification achieved when whats left is devoid of deformations.
