CHOIR LYRICS

1. Drawn To An Early Grave

Promenade crawling
Slithering blind parade
A thunderstorm inebriates
Accolades wall hanged

Symphonies rumbles – faded
Timpani thunders – jaded
A sweetness turned sour
Honeycomb, the evocation wails (of mire)

Calamity besought
Inanimate heirloom
Downwards gaze sludgerot
Accolade wall hanged

Symphonies crumbles, – hurt
Timpani hushes – inert

In granite, in salt buried
In drought, in the mire
In a shallow grave

Dry blood is the yield of our orchard
Its fruit inherited by tarnished
In sulfur, in decay, and still
Brittle soil the womb of the children
Its fruit devoured by tarnished
In sulfur, in decay, and still

2. The Shore Roars An Elegy

Torn tortured and sore
Sutured, forgotten and fugitive
Unquestioned and unbound, forever true
A bottomless curse, a bottomless weep

Honed dreams in brine sunken deep
Smudged in dead coral reef
Worn out and unbound eternally
A bottomless wreck, a bottomless sea

Behold! Breathless lies sand
Seismic inbound
Sunken and soundless
And for all fumid howls in ecstasy
Now muttered and buried and washed by the sea
For all muted voices in leprosy
For the shore that roars you

May our salt wash their sorry throats
May they drown in desperate drops of agony
May our waters be as bitter as their galls
May their thirst come to an end

Raging in remembrance plunging crash
Its deepest flume, vain memories
Washes away the fevers of vermin
Disembowel, children of brine

3. Triumphant Chants Of The Barren

Oh impious drought
Soiled, seared, dimly wiped out
Voices obscured deafening silence

Unbound metastasis
Severed tombs in clay
Warm breaths scavenges
Bodies of a long age deafened silence

Phantom howls of voices forgotten
Mirthless gust, sullen, sulky
...it's but the wind

Godless mirage of life so long gone
Erosion of flesh embracing the arid
Do you hear? The thunder?
Vast is the barren of souls, no one on sight
Vast is the storm forever changing

4. Wail! For The Evocation Of Mire

Elixir of dejection
Anomaly elapse
Retrograde immaterial dismay
Carrion eliminate
Bog of putrescence
Your sludge will rise

Forlorn, stagnant, tainted, orphan
We shall bathe in your sullen chalice

May our bodies flood and bloat and decay
Surrogate and opulent slough opaque
Vessels of blisters your scales have risen
Asylum, an omen, batiste
Asunder! Thy soil, cadaver, and rejoice
Consecrated phantoms foul tasting
Scorn, black water of tarnish
Drink, my children, inebriate in sludge

5. Mouths Trapped In Granite Ok 182

Coffins of time
Sunken pillars
Breathless antiquity
The stench of the ether
Antiquated blood
Dissacrated flesh
Behold! Fallen icons turned to dust
Tarnished gold! Towers collapse liquefied

Perpetual omens
Tarnished conquest
Shattered anatomy
Deshelled spines

Unfold! Withered volumes ripped and torn
Crumbled memories
Clogged ancestry
Memories lost in time

6. A Dirge For The Rotten Throats

Combustion of flesh (the mother)
Consumed womb voracious
Divergence in rust
Decadent old throne in gold

Cold earth like dagger
Worship of fire
Fragmented blossom exhale
Surrogate disavowal descends

Approaching roar brought new order delights
Muted voice open wounds
Ungodly waters incubators of blight
Open throat venomous
Revoking torment prison of your mortality
Broken shells, visceral
This tide will vanish thy breath and thy heartbeat
Begone thee dusty tarnished

7. Caravan And Swarm

We see steam at the horizon
Furtive blend into yawning skies
Evening violet falls along
Black spire loomed the dusk it defies

Its fabulous choirs frighten the dawn
Horns, bells, squeals, rhythmic rumbles
Chest beats, pulses, dim faint drones

Rails calling for a far, lost home

Can you hear our call?
Perhaps the fevers had you deafened
Manifested blossom
For the eternity one last moment

Shifting our ways and muddling our faith
The sky is burnt we fly over ocean waste
As we wait is decay
For us, no train came

It roars beyond dismaying mountains
Eons after our ghosts went stale
That withered womb birthed an age of floods
For seven infinities it stormed and it washed blood
Carcasses of abominations inseminated dead drought

Down to the pillars of dust
Swarming with abundance
Hatch from your cocoon
Down to the cairn of men
Swarming with abundance
Hatch from your cocoon phantoms foul tasting
Scorn, black water of tarnish
Drink, my children, enebriate in sludge
