I, Enclave - ......The Great Dying lyrics



Tracks



01. Doom Rite

Lyrics by Jesse Jolly
Wicked thoughts, from a darkened mind
Born from the blackest of hearts
A will to destroy - to snuff out their flame
True salvation lies where life cannot abide

Sigils of maleficence encircle my domain
Walls adorned with sculptures of pain
Ankle-deep in the blood of my latest tragedy
Tremors come, as I begin to speak

Incantations in the dead of the night
Forbidden mantras
A call to the sky
Eater of worlds and drinker of light
Universal
Doom rite

Drawn into a force, unequaled
Minds and memories ripped away
Torn from their point of origin
Even Souls will not escape
Blessed destructor has come
To bestow annihilation
Engulf and crush their heathen race
Silenced, eternally

As I'm pulled into the gaping maw
Towards the dying stars, I fall
Perish, with the utmost nobility
Swallowed by the all-destroyer

02. Decaying With You

Lyrics by Jesse Jolly
As you lie awake at night, eyes gaping wide
overwhelmed by the emptiness inside
The horror within you can no longer be contained

Decaying within you - Accept the truth
Your spirit, cursed - And you are doomed
You're plummeting - You're falling into
A moribund solitude

Barren soul.. countless wounds
Hopes and dreams, entombed
The will to exist has abandoned you
Raped and ragged.. stripped of life
Long before your time
Condemned to live as though you've died

Decaying within you - Accept the truth
Diminishing worth - Your spirit, cursed
You're crumbling - You're broken in two
Look what you've become

In the arms of abandonment, you have made your bed
Lost and alone, your will is dead
Ruled by the chaos boiling within
Crying pure hatred and bleeding contempt
...And now you're reaching critical mass

Infected mind
Conduit for the corrupt
Voices, by whisper, come
But where are they coming from?
From somewhere in the dark

You have been spoken to and given the quest
The time has come to come undone
Your power to reason is gone
Painted up and strung along

They're crumbling - They're broken in two
Look what they've become - Crimson

03. At War With The Self

I can not breathe
Struggle to inhale breath
My body betrays
Feeling the grasp of death
The cracking of bones
My heart races
Feeling alone

Drawn to the dark
There is no tunnel of light for
Just a journey through black
A void of eternity
Memories fading
Embrace the absence of light
Amongst all the fallen
We fade to the night

Flesh burned to ash
The time of suffering past
No longer am I subject
To this life of torture
To the fires I burn
I could not hold on
Between the pressure and weight
Crushed by reality
I will end my life
Exit on my terms

Feel blood course through my veins
The darkness has passed
I will live another day
Lungs fill with air to my relief
A purpose emerges
Depression washed away
Moments ago despair encompassed all
Now I seek to hold off
My impending fall

04. Sagittarius A

I fade to unconsciousness
As waves, I fall from the shore
Floating, I grasp at the sun
Pulled by the current and brought to a place of serene isolation

At the center of my soul
A darkness dwells
Consuming, all that come near
Distorting time and warping my sense of humanity

What is it to be human?
What does it mean to be alive?
What is existence for?
Why exist at all?

My body begins to stretch
My atoms are ripped apart and begin to align
The pull is to great and I succumb to the event horizon

05. In The Year 2525

In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you
In the year 6565
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube
In the year 7510
If God's a coming, He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgment day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down, and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
