PERIPHERY LYRICS

1. Reptile

We share the tale, another boy amongst the masses
His name was Billy and he liked to get high
A normal guy until the green-skin apocalypse
A do or die

There must be something in the water (besides fluoride and shit)
Where he lie, where he lie
He threw that gaping brain asunder
When he realized, when he realized
It's coming down!

We've sown thrones and brought the kings down to knees
Hello, here we are, salutations
And every day that you wake is a gift that you take from the gods
That's right!
You came from the trees and we alter the genes
Here you are
All you fuck with is wages
You had the day but you pissed it away
I think it's time that we show our ways!

Now we shed that violence all over
Let mayhem in the streets
From the mountain top to oceans
We own your every need
It's coming down!

With every breath that we take, we can hear that sound
Somebody needs a reaction to stay on the ground
With every breath that we take, we can hear that sound

A green-skin apocalypse
A do or die

So Billy heeds the call of fathers
Release high
Through these eyes

Embraces the chi and he praises the weeds
Holding out for the day he can face them
And every day that he trains is a slap in the face to the gods
God damn

Shutting out politics
Viewing beings as equals
Ain't it funny how that makes sense?
You had the floor, but you gave it a bore
Now it's equal
Can we clean that slate?

Now shed that violence all over
Let mayhem in the streets
From mountain top to oceans, we own your every need
It's coming down!
Somebody needs a reaction to stay on the ground
It's coming down!

Follow a trail of the ones who bleed the masses
Follow behind the reptilian eyes
A normal day in the green-skin apocalypse
A do or die

There must be something in the water
Where he lie, where he lie
He threw that gaping brain asunder
When he realized, when he realized

National alliance and he leads the fight
No class, no race, just fucking violence in their eyes
A plan for human survival takes to flight
The good that's left and all we cherish stands to die

Is this the end of all we know?
They all float
Is this the end of all we know?
Wasted our lives for what?

Float away
Do we feed the reaction?
Do we stay?
Do we all float away?

Do you think you know who you are?
Did you think you had it all worked out well?
And who could believe... those dead-eyed soldiers
Red sky, rain fall
The winter beams no beauty
Just cold-eyed monsters and bare branches
You can wail to the moon, but that'll just make things worse
They see you
They see me
They see all

No children in the streets
Where do they play when freedom here has been revoked?
The ground which all their fathers soaked
No medicine
The scarcity of nourishment is evident

And where's our god?
Have we seen that side of heaven yet? No

Rich, poor
Clutching to their sheets in horror
Is there an answer? No.
Is there somebody who can take away all the present dismay?
Bury the light
Pray through night

Mayhem in the streets
No order
Is there an answer? No.
Is there somebody who can take away all the present dismay?
Bury the light
Pray through night

You've buried that, buried that light
Now pray through night
What has come down is littered all around in your sight
It's littered in your sight

The claim they stake
A land from us they take
The claim they stake, they stake
A land from us they take, they take

The craft he shakes
A race within his wake
Victory alone became his above the soil we know
A grave is laid
A man within his cage
Victory alone became his down in the soil he owns

Soil we know becomes our own home

Soil we know becomes our own home
Now we're staring at the ground together
This is not the first time nor the last time
Soil we know becomes our own home
(Now we're staring at the ground together.)
Now we're staring at the ground together

Soil we own becomes ours
Order back in what we know
Soil we own becomes ours
Now one with the soil we own

Soil we own becomes ours
Order back in what we know
Soil we own becomes ours
Now one with the soil we own

Soil we own

2. Blood Eagle

We come for war
King of the north and norse
With drums beating, screams repeating and the hammer force of Thor
Surrender not enough
The christian seed will sing amongst the soil of trees
From the sea is the destroyer
From the sea is the eagle drenched in blood
Blood eagle is the destroyer
Blood eagle will set the wicked free

Rip the body from the bone now
Spread the heavens wings
Show Valhalla glory and memory
Let the christians sing
Let 'em sing

Let out the roar
Barbaric to the core
A storm brewing
All our doing for Odin's at the door
The spoils are not enough
We'll let 'em bleed
The moon takes everyone tonight

The christians sing
How they sing amongst the broken wings
From the sea is the eagle drenched in blood
A soul descending swiftly
The burning stench of afterlife
No rays from heaven
Only high sun
A soul descending swiftly
The burning stench of afterlife
No grace from heaven
And no son
Pleading to the sky once more
Weeping for the self
For the abandoned children of christ have been laid to waste on the shelf

Pour out the tide of valkyries
The land is ours to claim
No man or woman escape the fire
Now they can sing
NOW SING!
The tide of valkyries

We come for war
King of the north and norse
With drums beating, screams repeating and the hammer force of Thor
Surrender not enough
We'll let 'em bleed
The moon takes everyone tonight

We come for war

3. CHVRCH BVRNER

A loving priest
A lonely town
Everybody wants a piece of it now
There's a static and it's alive in the battleground
Blow the horn and then we wait for the sound
Step back on the stair to black
They all need a piece of it
They all want something

The filthy lies
Our people they fantasize
Hold the light
Reach for life
No sacrifice
No offer in sacred rite
Bow for one or for none

We'll burn them until the end
Cross on top of it
Men bow down and snap the neck for it
Hang 'em high

The population in a rack now
Looking to overcome it somehow
Flirting with the conversion
A dirge within the confines
Relieve it somehow

Soaked in red toe to head
Deathbed desire
Fire

One god
For the one god
Everywhere there's one god
For the one god
Everywhere the burning of our gods

Open up the heart or die
We'll burn them until the end
Cross on top of it
Men bow down and snap the neck for it
Hang 'em high

The filthy lies
Our people they fantasize
Hold the light
Reach for life
No sacrifice
No offer in sacred rite
Bow for no one or for none

They've got 'em pulling in a rack now
Soaked in red toe to head
Deathbed desire
Fire

4. Garden In The Bones

Mercy like a gun
When you've come undone
I've awoken in the hour
That receives no one
The sound of a tribe
Will shake me out until sunrise

The heat of tomorrow
Released as the wind blows
A beating stare from all the tribe
No sleep tonight

The howl from below
The wolf and the soaring crow
Am I losing control?
Am I losing all of control?
All spirits entrance
I toss and turn in no romance
From six under the grass
The prison breaks like glass

Stripped of all the air in my lungs now
Flee from the walls, so alone
Stampede in the room like a buffalo
Raise me up in my throes

The howl from below
The wolf and the soaring crow
Am I losing control?
Am I losing all of control?
All spirits entrance
I toss and turn in no romance
From six under the grass
The prison breaks like glass

Upon the burial lie thieves of their past
Firewater, tenacious
Upon the burial ground
Upon the burial ground

Between the living and the dead we move
Between the living and the dead we all move
Shift all placement but they're sifting you
Between the living and the dead we all move

The claim we stake
A land within our wake
A garden in the bones
A headdress down in the soil we own, whoa
We build it on the bullshit
Or build it upon the burial
A garden in the bones
A headdress down in the soil we own, yeah

Stripped of all the air in my lungs now
Feeling so alone
Stampede in the room like a buffalo
Feeling so low (whoa oh)
Pull out all the ground from below
You've, given quite a show
Stampede in the room like a buffalo
Raise me up in my throes

The howl from below
The wolf and the soaring crow
Am I losing control?
Am I losing all of control?
All spirits entrance
I toss and turn in no romance
From six under the grass
The prison breaks like glass

Upon the burial lie thieves of their past
Firewater, tenacious
Upon the burial ground
Upon the burial ground
Upon the burial ground
Between the living and the dead we move (We move)
Mercy like a gun

5. It's Only Smiles

We've all got those things crawling under what they perceive
We know sharp fangs and they chew in the tide alone

My gut is telling me, oh, it's telling me why
She'd rather see a man up than me under
Rip a hole in my life, but no matter the things I do, never get over it
I said goodbye from a place so far
I'm under the truth
Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth
Rip a hole in my life when it's bringing me back to you

I've been trying to work it out
Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds
Keep it on the ground
I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it
Death is true and I'll be missing you (I'll be missing you)

Advice is not always right
So I've gone to tread my ways
The path I've laid out is tied
We're always meant to shine
You left a lot of grief
Now it's bleeding out my teeth
Shot holes in every stone heart, oh
The tones are on repeat, yet nothing's filling me
It's on my chest and you're in this art

My gut is telling me, oh, it's telling me why
She'd rather see a man up than me under
Rip a hole in my life, but no matter the things I do, never get over it
I said goodbye from a place so far
I'm under the truth
Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth
Rip a hole in my life when it's bringing me back to you

I'll work it out
Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds
Keep it on the ground
I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it
Death is true and I'll be missing you
Death is true and I'll be missing you
I think I'll just smile through it all for you

I've been trying to work it out
Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds
Keep it on the ground
I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it
Death is true and I'll be missing you

6. Follow Your Ghost

Embrace the doorway when everything's fading away
Take a breath, take time
A poet to die and you'll fall in love with a hero in the fire
So fuck it, fall back
The shore will dry up on this day
You'll find the perfect lie
Blood ink
Dead end is calling
Tomorrow is forever away
They'll never forget

Dead end is calling
Tomorrow is forever away
They'll never forget
They'll never forget

Now paint the door red
They'd never mistake the meaning
Blood ink
Ready to lie dead and fall in line with the number 27
So fucking fall back
The shore will dry up on this day
You'll find the perfect high
Blood ink
Dead end is calling
Tomorrow is forever away
They'll never forget

No brain
No heart
Just rotting legacy
All the little stab wounds in that ego scream lobotomy

So quickly it came
In an instant it is gone
The bloody trail of fame and fortune has drained that life, of that life
It bled you dry, bled you dry, it bled you dry
No push no pull
No crucible
The pandemonium is high

No brain
No heart
Just rotting legacy
All the little stab wounds in that ego scream lobotomy
It bled you dry, and now the sun has set
They'll never forget
They'll never forget

Tear the road in two
Fate won't control you
Splitting soul ensues
Failing completion
Not whole
This world is hunting me
(Fate won't control you)
Splitting soul ensues
Failing completion
Not whole
...

Red waves crash upon the shore of you
The precipice
White knuckle fist
It's all on your side
So cut low, because there's no tomorrow...
Oh, how your hero falls

The corpse will swing in all it's glory
Remembering the love once shared in life, but now it's over

Drink!
Blow!
Chemicals will rise so I can ease the guilt from the escape
So cut low!
Fuck!
Draining all the blood
Your hero falls!

It bled you dry, bled you dry
It bled you dry, it bled you dry, bled you dry
The pandemonium is high!

7. Crush

We are the earth
We are the sky
Immortalized
We are the body and the mind
The ancient tribe
If we could only stop the beating
Keeping our pulses from retreating
We are the heart
One vicious heart
Don't let it die

A piece of us has shifted sideways
And all dignity slips away
A priest, a god live in your beliefs
An escape from what still remains

You can't arrest in the peace when violence is no use
We take the measures so fuck the poison that's slowly killing you
When living life is a feat and nothing's right with the youth
You drink the poison or pour it out 'cause it's slowly killing you

We are the earth
We are the sky
Immortalized
We are the body and the mind
The ancient tribe (We are the ancient tribe)
If we could only stop the beating
Keep our pulses from retreating
We are the heart
One vicious heart
Don't let it die

Don't let it die
Die, die
Don't let it die
Die, die

We are the heart
One vicious heart
Don't let it die
We are the earth
We are the sky
Immortalized

Further we move, the less we are
Further we pull, the spool of shit we find
Further we move, the less we are
Further we pull, the thread of shit unwinds

Forever falling forward
Relapse
Elastic on the timeline
Regress
Rewind
We push
We pull
Cast a vote for a glass half full
Build it up for the afterlife

We are the earth
We are the sky
Immortalized
We are the body and the mind
The ancient tribe (We are the ancient tribe)
If we could only stop the beating
Keep our pulses from retreating
We are the heart
One vicious heart
Don't let it die

8. Sentient Glow

Fake it
Our way of life so simple
Thinking we have it all
A choice we've made
Embrace the world in vain and shun the true human calling

It's only a matter of time before the waves consume us all
The gods will show no favor for what we are
Should I accept this fate?
Or maybe we can make an escape
Your life is what I need and one I'll surely save

Days they pass
Constructing a path to the stars bending space and time
Collecting solitude
Travel, I will, these light years in search of the savior race
Who must answer our dying call?

Watch the horizon fade within your eyes
Within you
I have to trust I will pull through
This is the end of the suffering

Uncertainty taking hold of the exit scheme
Will this be the death of me?
The end is near!
It's only a matter of time before the rocks come crashing down
Their souls collecting sorrows on the way out

Should we accept our fate?
Or maybe we can make an escape
This world is what I need and one I'll surely save

Days they pass
Constructing a path to the stars bending space and time
Collecting solitude
Travel, I will these light years in search of the savior race
Who must answer our dying call?

Watch the horizon fade within your eyes
The warmth that reflects lets me know, I'm still alive!...

Carry the weight of a thousand worlds within my heart
I've had enough of this
I have to trust I will pull through
This is the end!
Don't ask how we lost our way
Follow the stars to the place where we used to lay!...

9. Satellites

The heart went in two ways and the brain has gone in stereo
Invent and reinvest
What do we know? (What do we know?)
Why do we do it
Not enough to carry on alone
Whats left of simple life and beauty all around

Left in the arms of the living, I shake
Left in the cold
A cut upon the skin
They're always sharp in the beginning
Where is the love in the bend and the break?
This is our home
A cut upon the skin
They're always sharp in the beginning

We stick to the two lanes
Live on the road
Shy away from the natural
What do we know? (What do we know?)
It's not enough to carry on alone
(That's why we do it together)
What's left of simple life and beauty all around

Left in the hands of the living, I burn, but to return
A sheet upon the sphere this simple
Heart is the exterior
Where is the love in the bend and the break?
This is our home
A cut upon the skin
They're always sharp in the beginning

Down in the blue
Damaged by the new
Beyond the tide
Far from all
But this is us
This is life
It's suicide
We're all ten feet tall rolling in that ball

This is us
This is life
Suicide

The mountain cracks from the kicks we give
The plain will split in two and swallow where we live
Swallow where we live
We're pushing the mistakes and the love that we take
The plain will split in two and swallow where we live
Swallow where we live

We're pushing down in a hole right before our eyes
The rising heat and the melting ice
Now all we care for is blood and satellites
(The mountain cracks from all the kicks)
The love we take and the grave mistakes
The land we rape that's within our wake
And all we strive for is blood and satellites

We're going under
We're going under
It's not worth taking the fall
It's not worth losing it all
We're going under
We're going under
We'll drop dead at the end of the fall
It's not worth losing it all
We're going under!
We're going under!

Down in the blue
Damaged by the new
Beyond the tide
Far from all
But this is us
This is life
It's suicide
We're all ten feet tall rolling in that ball

Battered skin under the road
Life begins as I corrode
Battered skin under the road
Life begins as I corrode

Battered skin, battered skin under the road!
Life begins as I corrode!
Battered skin, battered skin under the road!
Life begins as I corrode!
We're going under!
We're going under!
We're going under!

Suck my balls.
