PETRICHOR LYRICS

1. Drown The World

Bring me the storm 
Wash us clean 
Bring me war 
Bring me screams 
Bring me the rain 
Drown the world 
Petrichor 
Make us clean 

I'm in love with the rain
The way it feels on my skin
How it smothers the streets
The way it washes us clean
And I know deep in my heart
I want to see the world choke
Between the tempest above
And rising waters below

Rend the seas 
Drag us down 
Rip the cloth 
We will drown 
Fill your lungs 
With death 
Claw your eyes 
Stolen breath 
Your god has abandoned you 
No angels will come for you 

Endless night 
Dark skies 
Quench the sun 
Crush the light 
I will watch you die 
I will see you scratched out from this life 

I see clouds on your horizon 
Black clouds, no silver lining 
The world drowns with me 

I smell dirt after rain
Total absence of pain
taste of blood in your mouth
Water in. Water out.

Endlessly flowing rivers 
Condemn this world to die
Ravens leave home forever
And circle in the sky

I will drag your bloated corpse 
To hell with me 
As the light above you fades 

Your god is dead
I know. He drowned.
Your old world washed away
The new king in black is crowned

Drown the world 
Drown the world 
Drown the world 
Drown the world

2. As The Dark Steals The Light

When summer lays down
Her breath heavy, breast heaving
Sickly and scoured
By the chill of the evening
Her children once green
Now withered and weaker
Enter young Autumn
Our entropic reaper

From the fire
Of the day
Came the march
Of decay
In the twilight
Of the years
Winter
Winter
Is here

As the dark steals the light
Unleash the waves of frost
All that was good as died
Absolute holocaust

From the fire
Of the day
Came the march
Of decay
In the twilight
Of the years
Winter
Winter
Is here

Die

3. This Too Must Die

Unspoken utterance at the back of your throat.
A braid of lilies that becomes a noose
You dream to contract the human curse
A demonic presence to grow inside of you
This cannot be, this too must die
Words I cannot speak to you

So here we are again my love
At the precipice of choice and change
Reflecting on the roads we took
To be here, cold, alone and in pain
This cannot be, this too must die
Words I cannot speak to you

This cannot be
This must die
This cannot be
This too must die

Yes we have lost so many friends
To the traps of a painful life
Along the way they lost themselves
United by our grief, we cry
This cannot be, this too must die
Words I cannot speak to you

This cannot be
This must die
This cannot be
This too must die

4. We Are The Fire

Turn over the altar
Cast the crosses out
A ceremonial cremation
For the devout

Your insipid children
The smoke will fill their lungs
We'll reclaim the past
By tearing out their tongues.

O great redeemer!
We call the flame
Payback the shepherd
For millennia of pain
We are the fire
We'll burn you down
Turn churches to cinders
Kick the ashes to the ground

Their cursed temples
Made of stolen wood
They raped our forests
And disrespect our gods

Your churches lay aflame and in ruin
Your bastard Nazarene in the mud
The price for slaughtering pagans
Will be paid in Christian blood

O great redeemer!
We call the flame
Payback the shepherd
For millennia of pain
We are the fire
We'll burn you down
Turn churches to cinders
Kick the ashes to the ground

Nothing Burns
Nothing Burns
Nothing Burns
Quite like a bible burns

O great redeemer
We call the flame
Payback the shepherd
For millennia of pain
We are the fire
We'll burn you down
Turn churches to cinders
Kick the ashes to the ground

5. Nihilist

When you lose faith in everything,
You are capable of anything
Nothing can be known
Except that we can never know

Reality is just a construct
And all your gods are dead
I buried them myself
With the books above my bed

No masters
No loyalty
No gods - only beasts
No faith
No life
Just destruction - nihilists rise

The scales fall from our eyes
So finally we see
Your gods turned away, long ago
Shame on them. Shame on me.

Morality is a construct
An ivory shroud to wear
And I don't care
I don't care

No masters
No loyalty
No gods - only beasts
No faith
No life
Just destruction - nihilists rise

A stillness like death,
In which everything is forlorn
A grey line in a sunset
The ever-approaching storm
Obsessed with our destruction
We try to make it mean
And spend our twilight hours
On what might have been
Rise, nihilists rise
Tear the veil that covers your eyes
Stand on the cliff's edge
And bravely, face the sunset
Rise, nihilists rise
Tear the veil that covers your eyes
Stand on the cliff's edge
And bravely, face the sunset
