Immensity

God damn this home
Corrodes away my bones
we are not quite whole
taking a toll on me
God damn this home
Built with mirrors and smoke
these daggers and cloaks
taken below again
This place is for those forgotten long ago
Convinced their ramblings will impact the state of their soul
God damn this home
God damn this home
God damn this home
Once bright now a dull glow
As the poison takes it’s hold
Witness the fall again
God Damn this home
Inescapable Cold
I could leave and I would grow
But I’ll just scratch my name in these walls again
The light in our eyes and the forests of old
are proof that this place is not what we’ve always been told
God damn this home
God damn this home
God damned this home
So long ago
For this sacrifice
We will not forget
We luminesce and will cleanse
Memories of home
What says this testament?
Blood makes the grass grow. Kill!
What says your parishioner?
Our god commands us. Kill!
God damned this home
Now we grow in this immensity
We look up and see black
When once it was divinity
Countless lifetimes spent
Staring at this reflection
What says this testament?
Blood makes the grass grow. Kill!
What says your parishioner?
Our god commands us. Kill!
God damn this home
Somewhere between immensity and divinity
Is created this moment
It’s us on the edge of this infinite spiral
And 40 thousand generations stare
At the reflection off your eyes looking in
And so have come
All of these
Sinful and righteous men
The soul-less
The blood thirsty tyrants
The merciful
The blessed and sacred
Our oppressors
And those who would pay them heed
The martyrs
Those pious to the end
The prophets
Those who looked up and saw black
These false kings
The peasants who bring the guillotine
The conquerers
The dead who earned their wealth
A messiah
Those who prayed for a saviour
And none have seen the blade
And none have seen the blade
40 thousand generations stare
40 thousand generations stare
At the reflection off of your eyes looking in
40 thousand generations stare
At the reflection off of your eyes looking

Divinity
12:10

Until we suffer loss of light, great divide
Until we suffer loss of pride the debt will rise
The debt will rise
Entire civilizations were built on such reverence
Entire civilizations were lost to this indifference
Until we honour what is us the debt will rise
The debt will rise
Entire civilizations were built on such reverence
Entire civilizations were lost
Entire civilizations were built on such reverence
Entire civilizations were lost
Karma bloody karma
Debts will be paid
This consciousness, this reverence,
this sentience, this luminance, this reflection
This immensity, this divinity, this infinity,
this eternity, this reflection
Call it by it’s rightful name
It’s love. It’s love simply
For this life that we gave, is this all that we've gained?
All the blood that we crave, and deny to the grave
Idle
Call it by it’s rightful name
It’s love, it’s love and it’s every name
For this life that we gave, count the dollars we've made
all in the name,
all in the name of this…
Idle worship
Lost inside a time when we would look up and see divinity
We would look up and see divinity
Divinity
Idle
Idle
Worship
Worship
Will we be the last?
Will we be the last to forget?
Will we be the ones?
Will we be the ones who pay this …. debt?
Gold lines the pockets of your prophets
Idle is your worship
Karma bloody karma
Debts will be paid

Reflection
14:30
|

We walk the halls of these former gods
And no one tells us to repent
Bought and sold, scourged and branded
No one tells us to repent
We are one of the last generations
No one tells us to repent
How many lifetimes have been spent
on the edge with this reflection
The collective understanding
is that we’ve been here all along
Destined, immense, divine
Drawn in the stars to remind
It is the tension between
restless idealism and impending doom
That makes killers out of the best of us
Destined, immense, divine
Drawn in the stars to remind
We laid salt on every field
Poisoned every well
Burned every bridge behind
And the dead will tell no lies
Revenge from demons past
For the Gods that we forsake
There will be no widow’s cry
Cause the dead will tell no lies
All the faces of
The first men are
Drawn in the stars to remind
That the dead will tell no lies
Time
Please
Don’t stop this infinite spiral in time
Please let our lives luminesce
Please
Time
We let ourselves learn to reflect
Please
Time we drink the water from this well
please, please, please
Time we let our lives luminesce
Time we luminesce
And not just forget
No longer the gods will…
Time we luminesce (luminesce)
And not just forget
No longer the gods will reflect
No longer the gods
No longer the gods
Will claim this reflection
No longer the gods
No longer the gods
Will Reflect
