EARTHTONE 9 - Tat Twam Asi

Earthtone9 - Tat Twam Asi
tat twam asi
lost in a wilderness
i will build a fire
i become a fire
to swim in the waters
burrowing and bellowing
into a consciousness
kicking against
yet we're needing to want this
sucking and bleeding
now knee deep in substance
pulling and dragging
fail to allow ourselves
as we move to consciousness
as we move through consciousness
as we move to consciousness
driven by need for transecendence
tat twam asi

focus on the focusless
focusless is the focus
look into the self
one name branded deep
burning and singing
the markings of the soul
turning more turning
we assimilate ourselves
needing the push
a sea of flailing limbs
push to create
an equalibrium
as we move to consciousness
as we move through consciousness
as we move to consciousness
driven by need for transecendence

MASTODON - Sleeping Giant

Mastodon - Sleeping Giant
Earth has burst
Mountain flames
Moon beheld
Father snake
Mind control
Has left its nest
Shame on
Bulls roar loud
The fearless fall
Wooden vessel
Broken wings
Caught my killer
In my grave
Shame on
Eyes of grace
Kill again
Trapped in maze
Trembling fear
Head scorched brow
Perish the land
Shame on
A vast calm wilderness
The call to adventure comes
Lead and land atop this rock
Infinite path carved with unrivaled skill

SHAI HULUD - Misanthropy Pure

Shai Hulud - Misanthropy Pure
Understood,
This will read as a plea to vindicate intolerance as surely as it is written.
Understand,
Contempt born of clear perception is a birthright to those who channel it toward progression.
Preserve life through loathing.
Awaken hope within hatred.
Wrest insight from outrage.
This is a birthright and obligation.
Spiteful and ill-tempered, I know the character well...
A maelstrom of weakness and instability seething with viciousness.
I choose not to accept this;
Not into my life.
There is no hope of reform.
When pride is allied with hostility, all reason is denied.
I return the denial.
A glaring misconception of self-importance, I know the character well...
Heedless fool, so arrogant with no understanding of consequence.
I see this negligence.
I choose not to accept it;
Not into my life.
Absence of introspection neglects the outer world.
Let not the excess of lusts and comfort mislead you.
This world is not yours.
Feel the quarrel in just his presence, you know the character all too well...
A destructive man at war with his cowardice.
I detest belligerence, and I choose not to accept it;
Not into my life.
Keep separate these hatreds.
Undefined animosity is a device of the spineless, the means of a fool.
Focused misanthropy is opposition to these dark hearts -
Downpours of disapproval no words could begin to express.
To distort the truth to serve itself,
To oppose understanding,
I believe in man.
Man will maintain its hostility.
Have this faith.
Conflict in the chest,
To be concerned for the needs of such heartless men.

SIKTH - Bland Street Bloom

Sikth - Bland Street Bloom
As the dove rains
There's no ambition, told from vision Pre-recorded maze of wisdom Bland Street Bloom, a moronic feeling
No ambition, plague of pidgeons
Twisted up in your maze of wisdom
Shake-up, make-up, fake-up
Think you need some healing
No ambition
Same old wrong millenium scorn
Maze of wisdom
Bland Street Bloom, a moronic feeling
Pretty little birds all singing in the street Few trees left, bare and shivering In this hollow bitter street
No ambition, told from vision
Pre-recorded maze of wisdom
Bland Street Bloom
As the dove rains blood
A world of wonders Man-made mechanical thunders (dove, blood, dove, blood)
Like stuffing a turkey
Gutless, hollow
Man-made premeditated hole
Like a rock that doesn't roll You are the rock that doesn't roll Like a rock that doesn't roll You are the rock that doesn't roll Empty coal into the fruit bowl Become a machine Just one of the people Welcome to the middle road Your soul has now been scrolled.
No backbone, just torn and thrown
Into the show you go
No backbone, just malignant groans
Of what and where and now
Of what and when and how of what
Don't count on nothing being free
Because when you're in the concrete sea
Not you or me in between
I can't stand them, I can't stand this About as much fun as drinking a pint of piss Can't wear that and you can't smoke this Bitter as a cold brew Bitter as a cold brew pint of piss A world of wonders
Man-made mechanical thunders
(dove, blood, dove, blood)
As the dove rains blood over the streets Man-made mechanical thunders I think I've seen this thing to many times before Mediocrity has never been a way of life I've been inspired by seeing all this strife!
Bland Street Bloom
I can't stand them, I can't stand this About as much fun as drinking a pint of piss Can't wear that and you can't smoke this Bitter as a cold brew Bitter as a cold brew pint of piss

CONVERGE - Fault And Fracture

Converge - Fault And Fracture
You were most beautiful as the damage and the trauma
Pounding hard with battered wings of destiny
You were my last great war
You were my heaven ablaze
Riddled with faults and fractures
And I spent my last of days burning my oldest of bridges
And I spent my last of nights killing the best of friends
In the company of thieves, liars, beggers and whores
I'll lay waiting, just waiting for my time to come

CONVERGE - Eagles Become Vultures

Converge - Eagles Become Vultures
In new day dreams a promise gives way
To a star struck death and a gold disease
A hollywood end for a once great man
Who found death on his knees
Cashed in crashed and burned
Sore sour sore
Our eagles become our vultures
I've searched with pen and paper
I search to show you
Just how far i broke from myself
In the name of fear and doubt
In a better world there would be a better me
Without the chase that won't leave me be
Wolves at my door keep all your wars
I'm going home to bed
I've paid more death then you will ever live

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE - My Last Serenade

Killswitch Engage - My Last Serenade
This revelation is the death of ignorance
tangled in a state of suffocation
slave to self righteousness
damnation is on your lips
from sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution from sorrow to serenity, it's on your head this is my last serenade I feel you as you fall away this is my last serenade from yourself you can't run away
it's your choice, point the finger
but it's on your head
your destination is a choice within yourself
will you rise or become a slave
to self righteousness
open up your heart and gaze within
from sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution from sorrow to serenity, it's on your head this is my last serenade I feel you as you fall away this is my last serenade from yourself you can't run away

This town
Don't feel mine
I'm fast to
Get away
Far

In her clothes
So drive me
Far

It feels good to know you're all mine
Now drive me far
Away
Far away
I don't care where, just far
Away
I don't care where, just far
Away
I don't care where,just far
Away
I don't care!
Far away
I don't care where,just far
Away
I don't care where,just far
Away
I don't care where,just far
Away
I don't care!
Far away
I don't care where,just far
Away
I don't care where,just far
Away
I don't care where,just far
Away
I don't care!

Norma Jean - Robots 3 Humans 0

Open that door: I'll follow you into that space
Where nothing is regretted then forgotten
Where is that grace that carries me out? so strange it's mine
It wont be yesterday when before when before the day of collapsing
And I'll stand through all these lines just to make it back to you
Can you help me every step of the way?
We can bury that battle and bury the cause
There is nothing that I can say because I was wrong this time
Everyone knows cause they see the glare in your eyes
Careful now, don't drown yourself ion sorrow
I was the one that built that cross and weighed you down.
And now I'll carry on till it's over... and it's over

MASTODON - The Wolf Is Loose

Mastodon - Wolf Is Loose
The hero of the gods
The crossing of the threshold
The belly of the whale
Refusal of return
Hollow eyes
Dry pale legs
Howling on
Thru fields and graves
Language of the signs
Symbols to our sight
Guardian to thy throne
Take on form
Daylight
Hide the skin
Cut it off
Scatter ash in the wind
Shapeshifter rolling on winds of tyrants make
Fierce lore of fanged horn
Danger all the way
Night's sea reflection The faces of bodies slain
Returning to the form of natural human's fate
Grown from the cold
Spirits unclean
Dealer of the days
The ice will thaw
As the soldier walks thru the crimson side
Researchers of aftermath
Dispelling disarming man
One-toed horses subject of Genesis
And the immigrants
Fundamental side of a human mind
Hulder folk and fairies
So believe
The hero of the gods
The crossing of the threshold
The belly of the whale
Refusal of return
