NEUROSIS LYRICS

1. Lost

My eyes were jades, so close to the centre I could not see
But now they are fixed and glaring at the sacrifice to be made
Now that I'm aware of the cycles I pray that I can deal
Now that I have shown you these cycles I pray that you can feel

In and out of the stray
Taking the bait
Feeling compelled to obey, betray
The isle of await

Running scared from their thought
Thinking I can summon some ancient truth before wrong
Seeking my nature, our nature with fear of being caught
Or have we been like this all along

The dawn of birth gives way to men
Age brings dimness to sight as it must
Death seals the eyelids on darkness once again
Augmentation of the dust

2. Raze The Stray

Falling out, crawling out, seeking out
Emerge now and see the
Returning to raze my shrine
Whole seeds no soul
Blind, shall we lay tides shallow
Wise, I stand my ground
I will not stray

Wounding the ego, get up lick your wounds
Mistrust to survive, avoid being burned alive
Biting other people with words
Searching for oblivion, small scares etc permanence
Tearing your whole life to shreds

All that was alive and spontaneous
Fading under the crests of imbalance
Gnaw your teeth into fangs, only to have them lash out at yourself
For what they forever have done to you

Numbness escapes, willing to face the pain
Your rebirth demands a part of you dead

The longing in your heart for transcendence
Something greater than what we've become

3. Burning Flesh In Year Of Pig

4. Cold Ascending

Your eyes are stained - you're shining low
Candles burn on your star - slowdive in
Old stain (slide on)
Brain is cold ascending - crawl on bits
Away - firestarter - crow (slide on)

6. Enemy Of The Sun

Torn of this land's disgrace
Too hungry to contain a future
The sun bathes my wounds with a veil of rage
It's rays dyed with the blood of our disrespect

Suffering for the wisdom long forgotten
The sound of bloodletting echoes on the wind
The suicide of drought for a faith destroyed
We starve with pride and glass in our throats

Harvest their return
Those who drive away the sun

The masks lay fallen, sheltered in the dust
Tearing our flesh amongst wolves
See how they run as we laugh
In lunar horizons there is understanding

Harvest their return
Carry my soul to the sun

7. The Time Of The Beasts

On lasts the kill in the cold - the crush
Succumbs humanity - the blind will lead
The walk
(Coal shoved into my skull - the time)
(Of beasts - a time to rise)

The mind plants seeds of time defined
Within my loathsome eyes - the is black
Of rage - red

8. Cleanse
