When the gods' eyes close on this world
Dreams are lost in silent linguicide
Ashes drip from the mouths of starving babes
Tears fall fast and dry upon the air
Who will stand by you,
And what will protect you from the steel winds and sleepless fires?
Not one of us will survive this
Not one of us will remain to mourn.
What solace can be found here
beneath a wicked sun and crimson skies?
We must stab at the flailing serpent's maw
With our humble harvest knives.
Build high the barricades
Bury and disgrace their wretched tracks
Fill bottles with the blood of their fathers
Tonight we gather to send the fire back.
Reforge the spear from rusting weathered plows
Collect the iron oxide, ignite the thermite mounds!
Not one of us will be left behind!
Not one of us will ever tolerate another master!

The peaks above are wreathed in blue
The trees below burn black
The grass between me and the road
Is screaming with terror and lack
For the well we ran to was empty
It has been for 40 nights.
I mourn for what's been lost
I cry out for reticence
Let pity stay thy hand
These burning cedars cleanse this land.
I cry with the failing tides
I fall into the sky
The myth will kill us all;
I find solace in her lies
She sings unendingly
"All is nothing!"

Absorbed into Flesh

Provoke
Proclaim
As Pacifists
Prostrate
To those who hold us down
And who taught you how to beg
Granted weak permissions.
You can not glorify your sins to me
We've lain for far too long in the shadows
of your impotent cowardice.
Scars start to form 'round the stones pressed in our backs
But I will wait no longer to be placed upon the rack
Your fate has formed. You'll die upon your knees.
The beast has thrown it's weight
Your intentions crushed beneath!
No more coercion.
No more collaboration.
No more concecration while the flesh burns!
Pray for these institutions
That slit your forked tongue!
You can not glorify your sins to me
Apathetic culture has defined
Your broken sentiments
So spare us your righteousness
Impaled upon a broken pen
Collusion has consequence
As you fall to be absorbed
into the flesh of the beast we sought to kill.

As Foundations Rot

My feet are cracked and broken
from walking on shards of glass
Hidden among the eggshells
You've thrown upon the ground
As you devour the embryos raw.
The structure is rotting in the eaves of your hallowed halls
Foundations cracked and sinking in the yearly summer thaw.
We need not lift a finger
But to guide the hammer's fall
How far will we go in hunger
When the meat's so tender and soft?
Technocratic illusions of grandeur
Are devoured by the famished moth.
Insalubrous attempts to control
As the collapsing tower rots.

Rage!
At what's been stolen from us.
Natural right to be free
From oppression, depression and law
But that is all they have thrown us
So we covet the crumbs.
We are not to be trusted with autonomy
Such are we; deaf, blind and dumb.
So wage this war against this fate
We can no longer wait for some collapse,
for ideal circumstances to break
Like waves upon the cliff
Tear down the walls
Prepare for the fall of the Leviathan!
Sever head from neck
Expose the vertebrae
Stick your blade between fascia and flesh
Expose the fascist's flesh!
Time has come to break our collective chains
The sacred is dead and gone.
So target the banks, shatter the structure and bring them to their knees
Gather your strength! Our bodies for sacrifice
We make our move at night
Silent as the dawn!
Stretch the hide
To hang over the flames
Sinews coil in the heat
The bones we'll use to build our new world.
Silence breaks
A new day awakens
Burning institutions like beacons
Glimmer across the midnight sky!
