We Vanish to Nothing
No life
No air for the fire to breathe
We die upon this hill
We'll slip away from ash to dust
No anchor
To hold, untethered we sway
It churns from below
We'll slip away from ash to dust
A torment of despair
Gathered for the kill
A failure of us all
No solace in home
No comfort in pain
Where you hiding?
What you hiding from?
It's a blinding light
Where you hiding
While you bide your time?
It's a heavy crown
These parasites leech the blood
All my beginnings lead to the end
(Become) Carrion
Run dry
No rain to bleed
Winds of fire
Dead leaves to feed
It's a fever
(Sickness inside)
A darkening tide turns
(Scar in the sky)
The sound of thunder, around the bend
(Truth on our side)
Desperation fills the air
To writhe
In pain, no relief
Sinking sands
Take hold of everything
It's a fever
(Sickness inside)
A darkening tide turns
(Scar in the sky)
The sound of thunder, around the bend
(Truth on our side)
Desperation
Slipped away out of reach
Remember
Slipped away out of view
Forever
In the end, we become carrion
After all, it's all we've ever been
This Great Demise
Splintered and torn
Weathered and worn
We come from below
From where there's nowhere to go
We wait for the light to wash it away
These flames burn
These fires churn
They're lying with thieves
Pointed knives staring us down
Nothing ahead, nothing behind
Infinite void calling us home
The door is closed
Somewhere, some other place
The memories play
To have and to hold, to control
The memories fade but they can't lie
This great demise
We can't escape
But we can't stay
Too far gone, I've lost the key
Slept through the screams
Nothing as it seems
Lying in Splendor
Watching the sand slip through our hands
(Save yourself)
It circles the drain
(Save yourself)
It's gone away
Dormant too long
An absence of will
Once strong made weak
Torn at the seams
No place for ghosts in this old town
(Save yourself)
It's a cold weight
(Save yourself)
It's gone away
Away for so long
Forgot my name
Once strong made weak
Torn at the seams
No one to witness the sounds of our screams
(Spill blood)
Despondent and listless, an end to our means
(Spill blood)
All of the lies (spill blood)
A quiet uprising to take back
Lying in splendor
Washed in the light
Spilled blood
All they have taken, all is lost
Lying in splendor
Like falling leaves
Like Moths
Unbridled despair
An abject fail, can't breathe the air
It carves to the bone
Been hollowed out, but it's still there
A scream of agony (it’s here)
A whispered spell unfurled (still near)
It seems so far away (it’s here)
The lashes biting
On our backs counting stars
Remembering when the world was ours
Dark clouds appear
Been counting down, the end is near
Coalesce in front of me (it’s here)
A delicate dance we play (still near)
The fears you hide away (it’s here)
The light still blinding
We fly
Like moths to the light
Our hearts open wide
For the last time (tonight)
All is lost
We gave up the fight to bathe in the light
For the last time (tonight)
For the last time
