CARNAL GRIEF LYRICS

1. Information Feed

Flashing images of violence and murder
All in the name of commercialism
Reporting about violence,leisure and weather
Without changing the tone of their voice
They've constructed an information feed
A feed unable to avoid, it's everywhere
The news value is measured on a sensational scale
To accommodate their economic prosperity

I wipe away my eyes, not willing to see
Not wanting to understand
At least to stop is entering my mind
Entering my mind

In times of information draught
Fabricated of exaggerated stories
And lied fills your translucent pages
A struggle for further economic prosperity
Yet the blame is ours
You're an unavoidable instance of our society
You're just a consequence of our curiosity
Profiting on an information-feed gone berserk

I wipe away my eyes, not willing to see
Unable to escape the sights
Casting horrid shadows in my mind
Shadows in my mind

2. Epitaph

I've seen your hearts - I've seen your mind
Within your presence I go blind
I've seen your souls - I've seen your cries
Eye for an eye and I hope to die
I've seen your emblems - I've seen your signs
I've seen your passions, cross over lines
I've seen your fears - I've seen your hate
In blissful ignorance you seal your fate.

[Chorus:]
What's your excuse, are you confused?
On what grounds, oh, I just don't get it
Can you explain why you're causing pain, is this what's sane?
How do you rationalize your wicked manners?

I've seen your anger – I've seen your lust
I've seen blood and guts – I'm so disgusted
I've seen your hopes – I've seen your dreams
Refined malice, they're worse than greed.
I've seen your heroes – I've seen your foes.
You're all insane, so.
I've seen your present repeat your past
I see no future, nothing learned, nothing lasts!

[Chorus:]
What's your excuse, are you confused?
On what grounds, don't know why, but I just don't get it
Can you explain why you're causing pain?
How do you rationalize your wicked manners?
I'll make you bleed.

Oh, what's in your mind?
How can you smile?
Is it your lack of remorse?
Or your will to perish?

3. Catatonic

A wave of blight consume the mind
A muck attempt to escape the blind
Screams of despair rend the frightened skies
Menacing frontier we praise the apprise

Numbening place
Frightening space
Escape gone
Imprisoned one

The will is shackling
Willingness numbening
An empty warble - a futile cry

Catatonic
Catastrophic
Claustrophobic
The walls are closing in, they're coming down
The walls are closing in, they're coming down

The walls are closing in
The abscond a concept precluding
Will crumbling, paralyzing frontier
No screams shall meet the posterior heir

Inhibition in my mind
World reluctant, the body vile

Only the carrion will prevail
The end is here
The mind will fail

Catatonic
Catastrophic
Claustrophobic
The walls are closing in, they're coming down
The walls are closing in, they're coming down

Catatonic
Catastrophic
Claustrophobic
The walls are closing in, they're coming down
The walls are closing in, they're coming down

5. The Perpetual Grey

The seasons ling for each other
In order that they may
Be cured of the excesses
And the continuum will proceed

Winter longs for the promise of change
Spring hungers for fulfilling it's promise
Summer sweat for fall to quench it's heat
Fall exhausts toward the descant into winter

Fall - the everlasting grey
Fall - escape we never may
A one perpetual season we shall see
When fall has arrived and never us will leave

But when the hunger dissipates
The sweat dries out
The promise of spring remains unfulfilled
Then the fall is everlasting

No promise of spring shall ever come
The eternal fall from where
We shall never escape has arrived
Perpetual and everlasting grey

Fall - the everlasting grey
Fall - escape we never may
A one perpetual season we shall see
When fall has arrived and never us will leave

The seasons ling for each other
In order that they may
Be cured of the excesses
And the continuum will proceed

Winter longs for the promise of change
Spring hungers for fulfilling it's promise
Summer sweat for fall to quench it's heat
Fall exhausts toward the descant into winter

Fall - the everlasting grey
Fall - escape we never may
A one perpetual season we shall see
When fall has arrived and never us will leave

6. Chronolies

Continuance - a stale dream
History brought to its knees
Clockwork falsified
Illusional piece of time

Age in ignorance
Intervals make believe
Present for all eternity
A moment without a past

No future, no past, this span will last
Forever kicks in, ends where it begins

Moment last forever
Lifetime for infinity
Kingdom never comes
Non-dimensional chronology

No future, no past, this span will last
Forever kicks in, ends where it begins

No future, no past, this span will last
Forever kicks in, ends where it begins

No future, no past, this span will last
Forever kicks in, ends where it begins
Ends where it begins

7. Tin Winged Angel

I see a presence of meekness in the horizon.
Coming closer I feel the eyes on.
Me are grim and possessive torches
Lightening and encircling forces

Remorseful, filled with anxiety
Unwilling to see the inevitably
Omissioned mind oh so blind
With fear of separation you bind

[Chorus:]
Oh, my tin-winged angel how you heed.
With gluttonous envy you feed.
Upon your liars chair you bleed.
Envy your malicious dreed.

Frail and hollow you crumble at my feet.
Attributing the frailty to your meet.
Unable and unwilling to make commence.
Forcing your frailty on everyone else.

Repent or be forever in debt
Unworthy tears you have wept
Hark to the chant of the contempt
Embodied in flesh this is the end

[Chorus:]
Oh, my tin-winged angel how you heed.
With gluttonous envy you feed.
Upon your liars chair you bleed.
Envy your malicious dreed.

8. A Passion For Hate

Want to tell you I hate you
But I'm not sure if I care
Just want to turn away
And never look back

Worn out - close to insanity
So your leisure is killing you?
Well keep on ignoring reality
And life will pass you by

Draining my soul, it fades away
Turning me into something else
Starving us both, there is no end
Draining my soul, it fades away

Just wanna say I told you so
But it really doesn't say enough
Just keep on screening reality
With your malignant blind spots

Draining my soul, it fades away
Turning me into something else
Starving us both, there is no end
Draining my soul, it fades away

Drain my soul, it's very faint
Turned me into the fountain of hate
Killing us both, there is my end
Drain my soul, it's very faint

9. Crown Of Might

On a pedestal built on the backs of others
A marionette rules, irreproachable and inviolable
The base of power inherited unequal and unjust.
Remnants from a bygone past, still supported by the backs of others

[Chorus:]
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - from a feudal society bygone
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - gone since long.

An undeserved respect and obedience from their subjects
Originating from oppression and cohesion.
Realize that they're obsolete figures, they're hindering our progress
Let's evolve from these remnants and move on.

[Chorus:]
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - from a feudal society bygone
Nepotism in absurdum - living on merits long gone
Might and influence - gone since long.
