She looks at him and stands aghast,
Their actions bear a stark contrast through recklessness he leaves her scorned; companions left by death adorned At every turn his words send chills At every chance he serves his will Her crumbled pride in ruins lie, senses her end, it's very nigh Picks up the spills come of his wrack; The bones she carry on her back She cares not what he had her told She wears her losses proud and bold Her throne besieged with broken troth as he claims master of them both He underplays this potent deceit Wanton violence Always ire Wanton violence Always ire A whisper heard from far and wide Tells faintly of a broken pride In solitude her doors are shut His will be done no matter what And he tries to make her desist Wrecks her body to fit with his He takes her within his hands, liquids pouring from her glands. Steadily his blows descend, She may never breath again 02. Longing Leans And Beckon Music by Totem Skin
Longing
in the details of thought reflective Steal a compound (of) extinct objective Dampened server of past resentment Coercive lingo, these unversed sentences Gazing at foggy mental images in which creating a home limited and this bestridden and narrow world hints towards unrest unfurled Lost to time Mundane action, tampered living, given plain direction; Cull abjection, come by default of counting every second; Never let go the ceasar that is a prior age affection for fairer views out from the place where longing leans and beckons Let time Dwindle into Itself, come to its end Tilt your effervescent head back, laugh at the sky Laugh at the sky Died out ideal staking Adverse frugality Senses always aching Longing for a fantasy Head back; Laugh at the sky 03. Reckless Recluse Music by Totem Skin
Cease
Swallow Burn Collapse In lies they reside (With) our future deprived Brought to our knees The shadows whisper defeat In silence they rule Keeping our hearts subdued To comply or neglect Ingorance is truly bliss We, are, waste Beaten, broken, forgotten Chained to our conscience Left in isolation Beaten, Broken, forgotten We're in a stupor Our slumber, our bane Do not look somber Devour it (Cease, swallow, burn) (Fire, cinder, collapse) Bathe us in fire Baptize us in ash Drown us in blood In the dark they corrupt We are born to be ruled We are waste We are born to succumb We are waste We are waste 04. The Mouth Of Man Music by Totem Skin
Problem, Reaction, Solution
Altered minds, they criticize Open all Doors, awake revolution the crooks live in castles, and get absolution Destroyers, usurpers Curse them instilled what to think, what is true Reality filtered through narrow views closed at heart, in mind and thought when forgiven, all is lost instilled what to think, what is true Reality filtered through narrow views Heedless herds that can't perceive why they revel, when we grieve Hang us on brazen pillars, high For everyone to perceive Vilified icons, a threat to the free All in the name of aristocracy All hail the ruling elite Heedless herds that can't perceive the mouth of man only deceives laced in silk and golden weave Bearing malice, wrought by thieves withered, dreary to the marrow passing as a fleeting arrow Heedless, callous, ever narrow Life is but a walking shadow 05. Pretend Music by Totem Skin
A boot stamping on a face sets the scene
for reality openly obscene Taught not to question the roles we are granted quelling urges of thoughts any grander But I guess that it's hard to see the horizon of a sullied sea when ocean's stirred and the current wrecks and shallow waters cover necks A manufactured permanent consent A vision in two definitions Did Fuller's Spaceship Earth crash and burn? Was Imagine just a song? Can currents change their paths? Withered voices given strength After being kept at length - For tacit credence cause the end - And only then may we ascend Only reaching far behind leads to rigid state of mind It's never-questioned validity borders on morbidity So don't look back but fix your eyes towards wherever change may lie A vision reborn is means to end But as of now we just pretend 06. Distant Visitant Music by Totem Skin
I built this armour to keep it inside
A vessel, a mask, bewildered, awry And beneath, it grows, like weeds among stones Bearing a cross, a crown made of thorns Not a word shall be uttered A life forfeit, left in the gutter Self-loathing thoughts on repeat, forever narcissistic Unvoiced, it has taken its place Heartless, my blood written fate Lifeless, a grievous embrace Enraged, a quenchless hate It has taken its place Bearing a cross And a Crown made of thorns I wear this mask That my face (has) grown to fit Winded and worn I'll find rest when I'm dead Self-loathing thoughts on repeat forever narcissistic 07. I De Blindas Rike Är Den Enögde Kung Music by Totem Skin
He takes her within his hands,
liquids pouring from her glands. Steadily his blows descend, She may never breath again Whimpers heard from her remains echo all throughout his reign As he blithely claims her throne he grasps what he's always known No more her touch will grace his brawn, their vital poise forever gone Her throne turns into his abyss and her whimpers become his |
