Dryad - The Abyssal Plain lyrics



Tracks



02. Bottomfeeder

Dwell in shroud of darkest thoughts
Lost in clouds of blackest rot
Cower from the light, I
Seek horrid delights, a
Crooked wretch of shadow, scum and spite
I dig for eggs beneath sea’s soil
I long for flesh, fresh or spoiled
Bottomfeeder!
Cower from the light, I
Seek horrid delights, a
Crooked wretch of shadow, scum and spite
I’m biting, seething
Sequestered, breeding
And always feeding on those more needing

03. Brine Pool Aberration

Salt of the earth, salt of the sea
Lake within ocean, dream within dream
Time has no place here in the brine
Your oblivious death forever enshrined
Impossible life, impossible breath
Few will escape impossible death
The darkness is coming, it’s more than you know
Beware of desires to see what’s below
Brain asphyxiation
Anoxic condemnation
Transubstantiation
Abominable mutation

04. Trenches

I’ve been down
Head underground
I swim around
From town to town
Although I’m alone
Inside my mind
The light in my head it will serve as my guide
I seek don’t find
I press rewind
I sink, I dive
I laugh and cry
Sometimes I want to die
Deep inside I sense a plight
That void within will take my life
Yet as above, now so below

05. Loki’s Castle

Destroy, devolve, deny any progress
Explore, exploit, gut the resources
Build, reform, beneath the thermal vents
We won’t die for men’s weak shit
They’ll dig and purge, we won’t submit
Arise, attack, protect the black fortress
Call the ancients in spells of discordance
Amorphous grim chorus
Clouds of blackened smoke most ominous
We won’t die for men’s weak shit
They’ll dig and purge, we’ll fight for it
Pogonophora lays claim to this pit
Men take what they want but do not earn it

07. Pompeii Worm

Writhing in ecstasy and pain
Entombed as the ashes fall again
Burst through the hardened, callous flesh
Cycles of life and death enmeshed
Incandescent worm of hell
Horror of the deep
Born to burn forevermore
Beyond the realm of dreams
I am flame, a blaze of burning light
Scorch the sky to deepest shade of black
Reach my roots to hellfire and back
Torrid waters churn inside
Boiling me alive
Symbiotic parasite says
Everything is fine
I am flame, a blaze of burning light
Scorch the sky to deepest shade of black
Reach my roots to hellfire and back

09. The Abyssal Plain

Sink to blackest depths
Scream with your last breath
Untold horrors swarm
Death’s translucent forms
Ah, I succumb!
Sin, fill my lungs!
Born in darkest gloom
A perpetual tomb
Blinded by the light
Nothing left but spite
Ah, I succumb!
Sin, fill my lungs!
Cimmerian shade
All hope has decayed
Necrosis of the mind
Life and death combined
Annelida
Pompejana
Pachyptila
Exoculata

Cimmerian shade
All hope has decayed
Necrosis of the mind
Life and death combined
Anoxic dementia
Melancholia
Face mortality
Become the toxic sea

10. Black Smoke

Deep inside earth’s core
Lives a detrivore
Feeds on decayed flesh
Feasts till nothing’s left
Fighting and feeling the teeth now unyielding
Writhing and bleeding and screaming in horror
Coral plains
Unsustained
Greed results in
Suffering
Casualties
Of sullen dreams
Now we’re sinking towards anarchy
Where we’re going we don’t need our
Eyes to see, beyond the sea of
Energy, a
Haze of darkness blooms in void
How long before it’s all destroyed?
Give forth what you take
We’re not slaves to the grave for your tyrranies

12. Eutrophication

Toxic bloom, veridian tomb
Breath in darkest alchemy
Suffocate, all that I create
Identity now atrophied
Rot away, putrescent decay
Trapped beneath decrepit shroud
Fight or flight, stagnate without light
Innocence now disavowed
I feel the warmth of the sun slip away
Ominous cloud looms above disarray
I feel the blood in my veins start to slow
Coagulate into sludge from below
Rest in death’s glow
Thrive in shadow
