02. Backlit 03. In Fiction 04. Wills Dissolve 05. Syndic Calls 06. Altered Course 07. Grinning Mouths 01. So Did We Music & lyrics by Isis
Our skin worn thin
Our bones exposed Life reduced to ticks From forest caves and azure skies We crashed upon this earth The years they passed and so did we But, resistance would be brought... 02. Backlit Music & lyrics by Isis
Always object
Never subject Can you see us? Are we there? Are we there? Can you see me? We are watching We are watching? You are fading? In the daylight? Fading? Always upon you, light never ceases Lost from yourself, light never ceases Thousands of eyes, gaze never ceases Light is upon you, life in you ceases... 03. In Fiction Music & lyrics by Isis
Through fiction we saw the birth
Of futures yet to come Yet in fiction lay the bones Ugly in their nakedness Yet under this mortal sun We cannot hide ourselves... 04. Wills Dissolve Music & lyrics by Isis
Those eyes and (this) tower have seeped into our open veins
Uncoiled was its strength And our souls en masse Poured down in sheets of rain And dissolved 'neath their feet Circling further down Our wills dissolve 'neath their feet... 05. Syndic Calls Music & lyrics by Isis
Rise in the morning air
Greeted by cinders of the dead Syndic calls your name Show your thinned face at the window Is this the next last day? Prepare to be carried by the "crows" Heavy hand upon the land Feel its weight inside you... 06. Altered Course Music by Isis
Instrumental.
07. Grinning Mouths Music & lyrics by Isis
Magistrates dream of plague
Tongues loll in anticipation You are awake in their darker visions Drool slips from grinning mouths The plague is forced on us all Is it there? Are they there? Shouts of fact abound But whispers of truth burn through Is it there? Are they there? |
