BATILLUS LYRICS

1. Concrete

separate from this world
sever soiled convulsion
separate from illusion
regain dying time

a formless rapture
harbor hungry ghosts
collapse world animal
carbon blood flows

through veins of infinite
sustain and dominate
with concrete

acid shields love
returning isolation
collapsing worlds
let carbon flow

through veins of infinite
sustain and dominate
with concrete
sustain and dominate
with concrete

2. Cast

anxiety overcome
thoughts ruminate unwelcome
white paralysis
in a background of flesh

reasons unresolved
strengthen weak conduit
flow electric
unsettled minds hold anguish

pinnacles pierce
into fields of light
waking slow
in our hollow

abyss
we grow silent
permeate beneath
shadowed semblant state

where roots embrace
our silver inner coil
motionless
bearing bleeding truth

3. Beset

control is lost
release bondage
lean in to the blade
embrace the ache

shadow and sun
ride in the undone
polarity
crossing to the other shore
leaving chasm
a transmutation
polarity
suffering into serenity

fire and bone
ash and blood return home
vivification
these portals open
once more
melt in the ocean
begin again

4. Mirrors

suffer thirst
infinite halcyon
silence the plastic
radiation

power divinity
burn in the stars
far distant beacons
burn in the dark
vigil alienation
all pointing true
feel the afterglow
emit the truth

power divinity
burn in the stars
far distant beacons
burn in the dark
featherless fragments
particles mend
and reach to become
whole again
mirror shining
aeon

5. Rust

volatile
what shines turning rust
secrets fail temples fail
burn away pestilence
pranic flames
burn away

this weight pulling

enter a world that wilts
supple flesh turning dust
you are here
and this is real
open eyes
can you feel
all void

swim within
a thousand faces
of splintered need
ceaseless churning
impotence

swim through every tide
and change of time
separate inferior design
illuminate our lies
begin to wash it all away
revive
reset

6. Thorns

bound
we were prisoners of time
suspended embrace
together we arrived
into this space
suspended in light
understood as one
let our hearts burn

let the black birds fly
and carry the pain
listen to their song
resonate a new day
breaking the silence
clearing vision to see
what I searched in you
I found buried in me

neither by tongues
nor uttered by thorns
we held onto serpents
fragile as blades
thank you for letting what was lost
blossom and entwine
in the windows of your eyes
