OLD MAN GLOOM LYRICS

1. Burden

Stuck in the mask
Breathless, air soured/
No eyes, no mouth slits
Breathless / lifeless
Its damp, its crawling, heat
Tied tight around my neck

Carried my own body down again
Dead weight, meat weight
Tainted/ its rotting
Want to put it down/ won't carry my carcass
Can't stand the stench of flowering rot

2. Predators

Lurking in the depths
So dark it went black
Floating are stars/ creatures that stare
With vicious eyes gaze/ PREY ON ME PREDATORS
Heaven beneath/ I will lay forever
Torn into pieces/ in the wake of great storms
Who are angels of oceans deep
Where are the saviors
PREY ON ME PREDATORS
Heaven beneath/ I will lay forever

Be my protector
Give me breath/ bring me life
To old and new Gods
Fade into the endless...

3. A Hideous Nightmare Lies Upon The World

Somebody please help me/
Crushed by all these bodies
LET THEM IN/ WHO INVITED YOU?
I DID!
Helpless/ helpless
Refuse the proffered hand
Help me/ don't help me
Feel the grit in your teeth
Black cloud consummation
Slow death, coming//

Minutes crawl by, one by one
Precious life wasted
Drop by drop
One by one
Drop by drop

4. Arrows To Our Hearts

We came, drawing up tar from our heels
Tying rope around heathen necks
Blow bitter winds

Hearts of iron
Moldy eyes
Hearts of iron
Eyes of agony
When they did not bow, we made them
Spoiled meat/ yellowed teeth
Eyes bulging from their sockets

Oh, what have we wrought?
The fruit is rotting on the vine
Spoiled meat, yellow teeth
Eyes bulging from their sockets

THIS IS OUR PLACE
WE WILL DIE UPON IT
LIKE FLIES
FEASTING ON FECAL MOUNDS
WE CHOKE ON IT
CHOKE ON IT

CHOKE
CHOKE
CHOKE
