Kill The Philistine

They are perched peeking down below on all the rats in the undertow
The paths all set from the starting block with guidance built out of double-talk
And I walk into the labyrinth armed with a flaming eye
While my contemporaries mechanically line up for the roll call
Cattle to the prod ready for the branding
As the masters oil the machine of death
They're churning out the product, expanding the empire
Passing out the sedative, providing the new blind fold
But we are the sea and we are making a wave
An undivided collective will rise, yeah
Capsize the chastising vessel of liars
We float atop of our untapped power
Now a mass congealing, deadly, here to intervene
Trip the breaker, kill it, tackled by our new found symmetry
We are the same, coagulate, a common site to speculate
The anthem of all living things, become the lung and we will sing
Gather the arsenal now load up our weapons and aim
Kill the Philistine cut off the head of the slain
We are the voices (just splintered away)
Til we all just take back the song
We are everything that's ever been breathed
Don't let them fracture our soul
Gather the arsenal now load our weapons and aim
Kill the Philistine cut off the head of the slain

All hail the self appointed ruler of the shit pile
Overlord of an imagined bullshit kingdom
No one even cares what you propagate
Grand delusions, twist of tails and fecal matter
Fatter, you grow upon your throne
A joke, tangled in your crown
Blunder, you're swimming in it
Covered in sewer stench fowl
We go off upon our path affected in no way
Today dancing on the corpse of everything you say
And laugh while you show your teeth and make your ruse
Unfazed, waiting for your halo to become your.....
Well now what do we have here
Neanderthal just swinging 'round your club
Bitch, you fucking know it
Compensation for your lack of manhood
As you strut around pissing in the wind
Ignoring all the signs that you're so impotent
What a shame a sham carry your disease
(Vermin ruler) master the magic, the pageantry
(Roaming under) radar of concern, your nothingness
(Vermin ruler) host of the maggots, the tattered robe
(Roaming under) amplified racket, a broken cry
We go ogg upon our pathWe go off upon our path affected in no way
Today dancing on the corpse of everything you say
And laugh while you show your teeth and make your ruse
Unfazed, waiting for your halo to become your noose

Aethereus
04:35

And into the fire we'll take off facing it all together, run
Building our home from nothing, fashioning what we will all become
Fill my lungs, respiration/resonation
Lift my soul from death
United we'll rise from this soil, led by the light of our new flame
Bound by combining our fascination, into the future to stake our claim
Fill my lungs, respiration/resonation
Lift my soul from death
Laid in the grave, erased by our new way
Our new sight, in the night, we've picked this war to fight
Dream the dream, take the dive, drown in each other, staying alive
Through this hell, we'll prevail, blazing our own trail
Enter into the realm of our reflection
We're the creators of our own invention now
Pulling each other through another day
Gathering forces...

Glitch

Split molecules, an atavistic plague
Captured in a snap shot of unlit shame
Coursing through my cold shapeshifting veins
What am I now capable of?
Dissolve my halo, I'll forfeit all now that I know
(Followed by a shadow now)
With all unfolded, unveil the skeletons I tow
(Incapable of all I vow)
With all good intention, I set my sight upon the sky
(Pure as gold, my will knew no wrong)
I've bled for perfection with hopes high and these blinded eyes
But the glitch was with me all along
Closed, this form I'm in
Kept down by a splintered will
Closed, this mortal skin
But I'm reaching upward still
Tampered with for all my days, this conflict burns unceasing
The filthiest beast and an angel of light in one species
Incarnate contradiction. I run from my unknown
Away from the shadow
I am the body of all beauty and all shame
Tampered with for all my days, this conflict burns unceasing
The filthiest beast and an angel of light in one species
In one species

Cursed, this world from my birth
Through the gauntlet (Tortured soul)
My eyes have have seen the lowest earth (in my regret)
And only traces of some form of an unobscured light
And suddenly this vessel's gone numb
(Gutted, stripped of my dignity)
I've utterly lost all control
(Betrayer in me)
No shelter for me now baby, only chaos overrun
(And suddenly)
I'll do anything for the right toll
God's love died by your mother's side
This flesh, come trade it
An empty shell of what you once were
You'll pull us in
And suddenly this vessel's gone numb
I've utterly lost all control
No shelter for me now baby, only chaos overrun
I'll do anything for the right toll
Into this tragedy, I'm bound for
Can't wait another day, anymore
I'm ready to leave this nest for the land of the detestable
I'm ready to take that consequence on my back
My portrait's stained covering anything I was
All that I've ever known is what I lack
And my name will of down in the annals of Earth's most wretched
I'll wear the crown of hopelessness, ruling my empire of piss
You could drink my blood but still never know me
What else would you expect me to become you fuck
Murdered conscience, now I'm your perfect
Lifeless body sacrificed for your service, take me
Now I'm a shadow, roaming the streets of your city ready to take you in
Now I'm a shadow, a simple product, a beast with no face
Murdered conscience, now I'm your perfect
Lifeless body sacrificed for your service, take me

Sound And Light
05:43

I've been shackled down, waiting to bleed out in fatal loss
A dungeon of cold circumstance, but I'll shape shift in the paradox
And I'm guarded by the pointed guns, whispering flashbacks of ill intent
Haunted by a notion, but I've got a soul to re-invent
I'm taking the form of sound and light as I break away
Escaping again with my life, seizing another day
Transforming a tainted dream into a new weapon for
Escaping the plague at hand, set for waging war
Alone I now do ascend, slip through the open gate
Through the open gate unscathed
No waiting around for rescue
You'll find a portal, connect the clues
And advance toward the rising sun, all the way in my constructed craft
Its over now
I'm taking the form of sound and light as I break away
Escaping again with my life, seizing another day
Transforming a tainted dream into a new weapon for
Escaping the plague at hand, set for waging war
Sound and light....
