Burning Trails
05:43

All consuming survival
Has no purpose, no goal
In our hearts we know
We're prolonging the fall
For no man can survive
The conflict with time
Yet time cannot live without
The adoration of man
So pay no mind to the wandering ghosts
For they are too weak to live
And don't follow the burning trails
For they are there to deceive
I believe there is a darkness
For darkness I have seen
Pouring out and tainting flesh
And no man here is clean
And no man is exempt
Cowards won't be forgiven
Death is carved on their face
Branded by odds of even
Time carries scent of your fear
Hounds of death, they can smell you
There's a shadow a coward brings
Shadows always betray you
Shaking hands with the underworld
For its the season of the storm
Feel the terrified pulse in soil
Wrath of winter is born
Those lost in the fog
Feel the wrath in their bones
Those touched by the frost
Know they're dying alone
Those touched by fear
Take the coward's pay
Those who followed the burning trails
Know they won't find their way
So pay no mind to the wandering ghosts
For they are too weak to live
And don't follow the burning trails
For they are there to deceive
I believe there is a darkness
For darkness I have seen
Pouring out and tainting flesh
And no man here is clean
Wrath of winter is born
In the farthest north
Wrath of winter is born
Death, wrath of winter is born
In the farthest north
Wrath of winter is born

Nothing / Never
04:59
|
|

Have you ever seen a man
That lost all hope
Past zeal and all polemics
What a sight to behold
Man is lesser
Than ever before
A trapped animal
That can't fight anymore
Nothing
Never
Nether
To come afterward
Trawling in
Crushed within
The stomach of the cosmos
In debris and blood
Nothing
Never
Nether
To come afterward
Trawling in the stomach of the cosmos
We're the apostles of our limitation
The horror of the mortal reach
The strain and possession
The reason and its enemies
With or without us
The universe burns
High on the dead stars
The dust and the fumes
With or without us
The universe burns
Weakened by the birth
Bleeds out through its wounds
Nothing
Never
Nether
To come afterward
Trawling in
Crushed within
The stomach of the cosmos
In debris and blood
Nothing
Never
Nether
To come afterward
Trawling in the stomach of the cosmos
United as one
We're all circling doom
One by one
Constructing this ruin
We're the apostles of our limitation
The horror of the mortal reach
The strain and possession
The reason and its enemies
And there's no other way
No higher road to take
Let this vessel decay
Fade

Species After Species
04:16

In spite and anger
Cut down the oldest tree
Ashamed of what it has seen
Things grander than thee
Like species after species
The end has come to find us
Hour after hour
Earth grows cold around us
So much potential
Wasted so fast
For all we know, the forests watched many go
And they'll go with us
Roots run deep
Past graves marked by stones
Past forgotten kings
Cradling the jewel-clad bones
The earth has collected
What was buried in snow
The roots can't be bested
Tricked to reveal what is hidden below
Like species after species
The end has come to find us
Hour after hour
Earth grows cold around us
So much potential
Wasted so fast
For all we know, the forests watched many go
And they'll go with us
Decades conquered by the centuries
The monuments bask in the sun
A beast at war with the universe
All that lives is touched by the fear of man
Like species after species
The end has come to find us
Hour after hour
Earth grows cold around us
So much potential
Wasted so fast
For all we know, the forests watched many go
And they'll go with us

For Want Of A Nail
04:18

For want of a nail
The shoe was lost
For want of a shoe
The horse was lost
For want of a horse
The rider was lost.
For want of a nail
At what fucking cost?
Zealots
Misanthropes
Head down
Shameful animals
For want of a rider
The message was lost
For want of a message
The battle was lost
For want of a battle
The kingdom was lost
For want of a nail
At what fucking cost?
Zealots
Misanthropes
Head down
Shameful animals
Open the flesh, the barrier is thin
The hunger lives under the skin
Moves the muscles and the bones
By will alone
For more
The kings in this world
All want more
The fire that burns
Wants it all
Ornate and rich
Are tombs of time
But in the dark
The gold won't shine
The gold won't shine
Fucking lunacy
Frenzied fools
No-one is exempt, none of you
You're dust, you're fools
No-one is exempt, none of you
