The Thaw

Australis ignite
A continent left stranded
The signal fire sputters and dies
We’re not alone but abandoned
A scratch on the tip of the iceberg
A drop in the water drowning the earth
Bones of leviathan once submerged
Brought up to thin the herd
Australis ignite
A continent left stranded
The signal fire sputters and dies
We’re not alone but abandoned

Glaciers of Eden Pt. 1
05:59
|

In the glaciers of eden
There’s nothing but echoes and ice
A universe beneath our feet
Glowing like the stars at night
A gift from above below
Our new god is a virus
A parasite in permafrost
Thawing inside of us
The wolf’s not a wolf, it’s an ark
The cold doesn’t freeze, it’s a spark
Like roots, the tentacles grow
Life burning at 100 below
Awake beneath the ice
Awake beneath the ice
Asleep with open eyes
Awake beneath the ice
In the ruins of favor
Every statue looks the same
In every reflection
A duality
As if we’d even notice
We don’t even know ourselves
Would it even matter
If we were something else?
Awake beneath the ice
Awake beneath the ice
Asleep with open eyes
Awake beneath the ice
Iridescent light
Warmth a world away
What if we don't die but just echo on
Every redundant day
Something breathing
Two hearts beating
Frozen wrists bleeding
One mouth feeding
I am not myself
I am not myself
I am not myself
I am not myself
Icicles like teeth
The bodies charred and broken
Out here, everything drinks
From any wound left open
Wine from blood
Water from the wine
Over and over
The cycle repeats
To be born
Is to die
A truth we will never see
Awake beneath the ice
Awake beneath the ice
Asleep with open eyes
Awake beneath the ice

Entombed
Exhumed
Untold centuries of snow
1,000 miles from nowhere
And still we’re not alone
Genocide
Suspended in motion
Formaldehyde
Filling the oceans
Between us and them
Between us and the end
Between us and them
Between us at the world’s end
Man is the warmest place to hide
Hibernating by default
Lord knows we deserve it
We've earned this
Cut the line loose
Vessels by design
Imitations from the start
Whatever we get
We deserve it
Promethean
In its arrival
We are moths
Mistaking the flame for survival
Remake
Reanimate
The dogs are dead, we’re now the dogs
Slaves of a higher species
Bred to do what we’re told
Acetylene
On the bonfire
Of our vanities
Even death is a lie here
Between us and them
Between us and the end
Between us at the world's end
Man is the warmest place to hide
Step out of the cold and come inside
Rest awhile beside the fire
Embers in the hearth of our self-made suffering
What’s left of ours is yours
Open windows, unlocked doors
Make yourself comfortable
There’s nobody home anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Perfect replications
Of perfection’s failures
Instant assimilation
To our sphere of hatred

Jaws of Life
04:28
|

A severed head
Animate on spider legs
Hell’s frozen and heaven all out of pigs
A hollow chest
Writhing like the larvae’s nest
What’s worse, death or what comes next
Trapped inside
My rotting body
I’m not alone
Something is in here with me
A waking dream
Turned to nightmare
This isn’t death
It’s birth by autopsy
Unhinge the jaws of life
Swallow the poison tongue
Choke on the endless night
As it eats the sun
Evolution
Devolution
Abolition
From the human condition
Frozen flesh
Warming to the scalpel’s touch
Some things were not meant to wake up
Nothing left
To corrupt or neglect
Except corruption’s architects
Death by the oozing drop
Blackened and bloodshot
Sing the song of agony
What once was is no more
Once certain unsure
The man you know is gone
Get the flamethrower
Abomination or creation
Sums of the same equation
This isn’t death
We’re not that lucky
Reincarnation, duplication
Something lost in crude translation
This isn’t death
It’s mercy
Abomination or creation
Sums of the same equation
This isn’t death
We’re not that lucky

Terra-Form

Earth like a moon
A stone in orbit
Of a more crowded tomb
Better get used to the feeling of being doomed
The forms it assumes
The life it subsumes
Familiar but so different
The forms it assumes
The life it consumes
Knotting like a noose
Better get used to the feeling of being you
Life is zero sum
Every breath is to take
Escape and kill us all
Or freeze to death in this fucking place
An alien terrain
An ancient history never known
It’s not colonizing
Its coming home
Constellation’s arrow
Pierces the lungs
It’s terraforming
In our blood
The cervix of extinction dilates
Put Darwin’s head on the stake
Flush the fetus down the drain
It can’t hunt if there is no prey
It can't take what's given away
Earth like a moon
A stone in orbit
Of a more crowded tomb
Better get used to the feeling of being doomed
The forms it assumes
The life it consumes
Knotting like a noose
Better get used to the feeling of being you

Sight for the Snowblind
07:02
|
|||
Lost myself again
Hard time looking
For something that never was
The walls are closing in
Watch the fires burning
Immunity is having never been
It darkens the doorway in my mind
Dig it out
I am, I am fine
God grant us sight
For the snowblind
It darkens the doorway in my heart
Dig it out
I am, I am not
As the planets align
In the cataract stare of the snowblind
Now I’ll give you
What you gave me
You wanted a monster
So that’s what you made me
From the shadows inside your head
Now I’ll show you
How well I know you
Nothing needed
But fear to control you
A story told time and time again
One of these things
Is not like the other
One of us is the thing
From another world above us
It darkens the doorway in my mind
Dig it out
I am, I am fine
God grant us sight
Sight for the snowblind
It darkens the doorway in my heart
Dig it out
I am, I am not
As the planets align
In the stare of the snowblind
Beyond the reach
Of what we know to be
Beyond everything
Beyond the rings
Of a frozen sun burning
Unblinking
Everything is and everything isn’t
It can be real and in your head
Nothing is lost it’s only hidden
In the mouth of madness we descend
Copper wire in the blood
Mercury beneath your tongue
Everything you ever loved
Falls into oblivion
Disinfect everything
Wipe every surface clean
We are not what seem
Inside the fever of the dream
Inside the skeletons we keep
Cut the whiskey with the bleach
Choke it down, ignore the sting
We are not what we seem
Inside the fever of the dream
If I were an imitation
A flawless imitation
Could you tell if it
Were really me
If I were an imitation
A flawless imitation
Would even I know
If I were me
If it were really me
If it were really me…

Blair Built a Spaceship
04:46
|
|||
Man isn’t meant
To be alone
They locked me away
But the sentence is their own
Always defining self
By someone else
The fatal tell
The final bluff
The hand that’s dealt
The secrets we’ve been keeping
Are melting into being
The truths we’ve been seeking
Were never worth believing
Blair built a spaceship
Wings in the driving snow
No matter where death takes you
The stars will guide you home
Blair built a spaceship
Out of hope and steel
No matter what you’ve become
What you were was real
Wearing through
This skinsuit
This flesh tomb
This sewn-shut cocoon
Can’t wash the smell of
It off myself
Idle hands
Set me free
Summit peaks I cannot reach
Turn the master key
Build the pyramids in multitudes
Infinitudes
Cities at their feet
As far as eyes can see
Branching out inside
A body severed
From its mind
The things we keep inside
Make up empires
The things that keep us alive
Just kill us quieter
The secrets we’ve been keeping
Are melting into being
The truths we’ve been seeking
We’re never worth believing
This will be my last transmission
If you’re hearing me, I didn’t make it
I’m lighting out
Letting go
There’s nothing left in this world
But the cold
But the cold

Glaciers of Eden Pt. 2
07:51
|
|||
There’s nothing written in the stars
But a reflection
We are the shape in the dark
No atrocity we can’t justify
No blame that we can’t pin
Unable to tell the difference
Between the sick and the sickness
In the glaciers of Eden
The snake changes shape
In this garden where nothing grows
There’s always plenty to eat
In the cleaving of the ice
We are all split in two
Trapped on either side
Of the lives we choose
In tunnels beneath the snow
Look upon every face you’ve ever known
Face every sin you can’t atone
There is no peace when you go
In the light of the flares
In the glint of mirrored stare
Look upon yourself and despair
We’re the only cancer here
Hypothermic
Hunger dormant
Marks on the neck
Where the frostbite has bitten
Hidden incisions
Of self vampirism
Your spiritualism
Won’t save you now
Won’t help you tell
This earth from hell
There’s nothing written in the stars
But a reflection
We are the shape in the dark
What if the feeling of
Something watching you
Came from inside
Could you trust yourself
Would you ever find
A new place to hide
Am I just a copy of a copy
Of a copy of a copy
Of a copy of a copy
Of a copy of a copy
Am I just
Of a copy of a copy
Of a copy of a copy
Of a copy of a copy
Of a copy
Am I just
A copy of a copy
Of all the worst things
That I tried to bury
The original anger consuming me
Every fiber of my inhuman being
In the Glaciers of Eden
There’s nothing but echoes and ice
A universe beneath our feet
Glowing like the stars at night
A gift from above below
Our new god is a virus
A parasite in permafrost
Thawing inside of us
Nothing kills it
But the flame
Immolation
To numb the pain
Burning cairns
Light the way
Paths converging
At the place where sky meets space
Is it still suicide
When you are something
That you don’t recognize
That you cannot define
Save the bullet
Don’t pull it
You’d just be feeding fire to the furnace
Is it still suicide
When you are something
That you don’t recognize
Biding borrowed time
Hold your nerve and
Feel the burn of
A lead placebo to heal what hurts you
