THE MOTH GATHERER LYRICS

1. The Water That We All Come To Need

This broken scene of December
A place of a dead heart
Dressed up in black
As the white tiles starts to fall

The big sleep, the escape in the fog
The great fall, the great collide
The blood at the edge of the world
Is the alpha and omega

The roots of decay grows deep
Infects the water that we all come to need
Dressed up in black
As humanity starts to fall

The sorrow will not come
Eyes stares without emotion
Harbinger of empathy prevails
When the call of the final breath comes

This broken scene of past tense
Came from a dead heart
Dressed up in black
As life fades away
This broken scene of past tense
Came from a black heart
Dressed up in black
As life fades away

2. Intervention

Like a drone I wander through the hive
Guided by the white noise from the gas-mask queen
Her antennas guides me deeper
I'm becoming the great chasm

Like the plague I am the divider
Terraforming a new world
They approach me with caged birds
I was man, now I am the earth undone

In this darkness only shadows breathe
A dream from beneath the dirt
A dying ember reflects in your eyes
As the ones in gas masks intervenes
Clawing me with soil and seed
An intervention from silver screens and blood
This black sea of stars
Is where I will find my way home

I dream of death
When life has nothing more to give
My eyes turns everything black
The eternal sleep offers me a home

3. A Road of Gravel and Skulls

The only way we're going is down
The remains of this earth is bleak
Nowhere to harvest, nowhere to live
There is only one place to go and that is where we die

In hindsight I know I lost my hope
But there was nothing worth breathing for
The most beautiful thing I saw in my last years
Was a dying man with hope in his eyes

The road beneath me
Shatters and bleeds
The road to the end
Is of gravel and skulls

The only way we're going is down
The remains of this earth is bleak
Nowhere to harvest, nowhere to live
There is only one place to go and that is where we die

The sun has drowned in oceans of sadness
The clouds of Armageddon covers this world
Bringing an eternal grey gaze

4. The Womb, The Woe, The Woman

Floating in an endless crimson ocean
Through three seasons I was hidden away
Sheltered by skin and love
Maternal instincts kept me safe until everything caught flames

It's not the alcohol that kills
It's my heart, that broken thing
Head below water and a bottle of pills
The blood explodes in a circular ring
It's amazing what you can find
When you let go of your soul and skin
A life in the stream, warm and kind
The words of rebirth echoes within

A goddess, divinity in blood
Ascended, released into the wild
Left me behind in this dying world
Nothing was to be as beautiful again
Through the hollow cities I drag myself
With her love etched into my chest

5. A Falling Deity
