THE FUNERAL PYRE LYRICS

1. Vultures

One final descent
The emptiness it portrays
Long views into nothingness
It's where you go to die
Where we're not found
The torment of isolation
Vast landscapes, parches your throat
Dust kicked up from the ground
Only the storm ridden sky
Controls the glaring heat of the sun
Soon it will break
Much like your spirit at hand
Where the desert owns your moral
Facing the vultures, that circle overhead
Give up. Give in.

2. Destroying Gods

With so few words
Much has been said
A man, living the life he's led
How else does he live?
He has nothing left to give
The gods have been destroyed
But they were never there
The pulse of his heart
Echoes through him
He hasn't feel life in ages
But time wears on
Without him
Lost, but he was never found
Trudging through the wet sand
With so few steps
He's lived his life as man

3. Monolith

We both stare
Facing what faces us
Uncertain of what's to come
Staring down the steel tunnel
Question, existence and love
Taken one day at a time
Never straying
What has left
Never returns
Guilt
Grips my body

4. Blistered Hands

It's a stranded feeling
I see you
You've never been there
As long as I've known
You never will
Desperate, distressed
Ruined from the ground up
The blisters on my hands
Pain that feels my skin
The constant that has never ceased
You stand there
You glare from your eyes
This was so fragile
So what justifies you walking away?
Remove this shroud
I'll never hear why

5. Personal Exile

I promise to you
Never to live the way I have
Contradicting, everything
The life of a fool
The kin I bear
Belongs not to me
To that of a liar
A thief
A coward
Destroy me, let nothing be
Place me, where I cannot see
Feel the soil over my head
This skin belongs not to me
Life, is very long, when alone
But when am I not?
Nothing more, there will never be more
Feel the soil, cover my eyes

6. Seeking Flesh And Bone

At dawn
When we awake
They come to take
Pick at the bones
Scraping it clean
The sun has come
Everyday, like the last
I gaze into the burning light
Contemplating my last gasp
Will it end?
They'll never cease
At dusk we retreat
One eye wide open, while we sleep

7. To Watch The Earth Rot

He still walks alone
New life born
From the life he lost
None matters now
As he exists solely for himself
To watch the Earth rot
Day by day
His eyes gaze off
To the horizon
Viewing what's left
Did we really come to this?
Make us extinct
You gave us the life
That we abused and burned

8. Clarity Of Time

The final day
The sun rises,
He knows he can't bear to stay
It has become his time
Seeing the world
Has taken the toll to crush his mind
The decision is made
To leave and escape
The torture he has endured
While walking that road
Survived the pain and hardships
Of his miniscule life
It meant nothing in the end
When what he loved was taken
The physical test to tear his flesh
He lies down to finally decide
That this day, will be the last
