1.
Charmstone 02:35
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
2.
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
3.
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
4.
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
