Charmstone

Spellbound by a glowing menace
We have turned to stone
Flickering senseless value
Atrophy in cathodic souls
Losing grasp upon the vines
Losing grasp upon our lives
Vultures nest inside the mind
Vultures nest of many kinds
A greed which comes in many forms
A greed which comes, beast of night
Culture of a passing storm
Culture of a passive sigh
Charmed by the curious logo
We crave what we're told
Plaguing every horizon
From landfills to the coast

The Fence
04:33

I can see past the barbwire from this cold quiet room
Rooftops full glow in grayish of the moon
Lanterns now dim five hours until the sun
When saws are cutting wood
Making haste I shall run
Lost in the gravel so sick and so subtle
We can't stay here
This world is not right to me
Friend or an enemy
Who even cares? (Who fucking cares?)
Beyond the fence is anyone out there? (is there survival?)
Lets pretend our lives are stable (we have control here)
Sleeping so peacefully in the watchtower they've built
Keeping so warm stitched up in your quilt

In Coalesce
02:43

They dig and dwell into the fertile soil (dig and dwell)
In an effort to collect the blood of the Earth (collect the blood)
Keepers of the stone, thieving little bastards (thieving bastards)
Machines leave a landscape forsaken
Come to ravage (and taketh away)
Mother maiden (she will weep)
Behold progress (and we betray)
Human malice
To bathe in tides blackened with filth (black with filth)
Bark from the deadwood splinter the feet (splinter the feet)
A smokestack miasma to spread its disease (spread its disease)
Choke and gray embers of our mistakes
In coalesce with culture and ash
Our world is doomed

Rituals
03:15
|

Rituals to thrive
Rituals to die
Rituals we need
Rituals deceive
Patterns of the modern age
Patterns upon the wheel
Behavior of the masses
Behavior to the kneel
Who holds the grains to eat
For the mother and her child
Who holds the grains to eat
When no grains are left to field
Construct in accordance
Construct the master plan
Devour every coin
Devour and obey
Circling destruction in chaotic array
Dancing for nothing locked up in a cage
