1.	A Vast And Throbbing Sore 03:41	lyrics	buy track
ache, like an angry sore, that's always bleeding like a weeping sore, that's always seething like a ragged jaw, that never mended like a pestilence, that never ended trapped, in ice, formless heap of lice congeal as meat, rotten and sweet sinew, tethered carrion sprout from its nape, behold its wake ache, like an angry sore, that's always bleeding like a weeping sore, that's always seething like a ragged jaw, that never mended like a pestilence, that never ended rot, and flee, touching everything long dead disease, now starving seize cities, stand a massive tomb and so behold (an), erupted womb endlessly they crave, urging us into our grave stabbing out so brave, like a great chattering wave and there in its wake, watch the world a tomb to shake and it's little more, than a vast and throbbing sore to weep, and silently sleep a hardened speck, forgotten wreck distant, there in inky black uncaring night, so dims the light
2.	Desolation Night 04:49	lyrics	buy track
desolation sky rain death little spines white hot air ignite the darkest night a choked out cry now reap the lie christ-walk in trance on a, river of blood mass, graves to feed the fruit, fed on our blood now you see the silence see the silence of the state and now you see the horror see the horror as it wakes and now you see the silence see the silence of the state and now you see the horror see the horror as it wakes psychic scars ever resonant mutilate reality walk, trancelike, through, endless desert desolation night dead rain metal spine shrapnel in the sky turning your eye so no one dies and praise the sky
3.	In The Marsh, In The Flood 04:12	lyrics	buy track
walk with me and you'll see wanderers three a dead city in the marsh in the flood fog and grey ash and mud radiating half life dust, a tomb it dances slow as life you feel the hungry eyes and it is patient, now you trudge, naked before your judge it sees you through and through and speaks in lies to you and now you see it all gentily everything did become like a dream sicker still your teeth will loose and spill your skin will tight and strain your mind struggles in vain and still the snare does close around and you are gently bound and slowly led away not knowing that you stray further into the maze behold, your true faith, the crux, of your being a lure, so pleasing, to you, that you would leap right off, into the, jaws of, oblivion and weep, as you fall, endless, in ecstasy

strange, as it seems my home, stands before me summoned and doubled for me and i see stare, lovingly wife, can it be hold, to the dream she's summoned and doubled for me fastening my mind, all i see is her, telling me that she, loves me, endlessly she splits in two they split in two now, i can see endlessly doubled 'fore me trapped, they, all, speak love and i drown, trapped, and i drown, in their love echoing deafening dizzily vanishing and i drown and i drown
6.	Knelt In Prayer 04:54	lyrics	buy track
lost in the reeds standing serene torn from my mind church out of time perfect in form each stone conform to memory mired to its knee come, my son it begins know, we tire of the wait eat and drink of our host teeming filth for your plate hark and hear unto me for i speak true this sermon lovingly meant just for you faith only means a thing if meant for good once it was everything and now it's not there entranced you sit your gaze is fixed on my own fixed in place by my insect like prayer chattering sup now of the word and shed your skin to its sound once you were human and now you are chattering hid from my sight his horrid flock radiation wretching up teeth packed in the pews staring at me now they feed, now they feed, now they feed, now they feed torn piece by piece a stain on the seat there quivering my lips still praying still praying
7.	Palm Like A Spring 04:28	lyrics	buy track
a circling, darken the scene sit beside me, open your mind and close, your eyes.. now breathe, rising like steam enter the dream, let out the life and take, the knife.. i bleed, palm like a spring eager to sing, tempting the wight to speak, tonight.. a scream, hollow and lean weirdly serene, aching they cry o'er there, a sight.. arms outstretched, a veil black as death palm upturned, pleading and so stern gesturing, words yet soundless sing angrily, stuck there on repeat i, am not, who, you call i, am not, them, at all fear not this form i stole barely whole (a) psychic husk formed of dust pulled from your mind (and) re-aligned (your) loved one went on to ascend hark-en now, (and) pay, me heed (the) world, you know, (is) spiraling the world you see, loudly looping feedbackfeeding, into a night of end-less strife.. you need, (to) tear yourself free with your belief, set the loop right purge out, the blight.. forming, vision and dream progress and peace, form it with light to set, things right.. psyche, manifesting (the) ideal you seek, loop it with light make kind, man kind
8.	The Sentinel 04:56	lyrics	buy track
now behold the silent door tearing space just like a sore hung in void beyond the ring of time itself o giant king endless still they watch and wait twin sentry to hold the gate ten and thousand formless tongue poison pleasure song is sung flattering to let him in hiding knives within his grin when you see it, you see it true, and now you know it, you know it's true great big teeth that swallow me void like maw no stars to see pluck my twin from out my skull sobbing wound, oh sundered soul now alone how time does slow all is still in time's shadow
9.	Half Twin 04:08	lyrics	buy track
and there i did wait half twin scarred gate nights long aeon mind long since gone now Tongue returned my twin returned i know, i can't, trust him hear him, back there, plotting poison, hand will, carve me hateful, mind is, scheming one hand free slice the cheek oh fiend severed free by the hand unclean tore him free cast aside with spleen woefully i too was torn free now we weep as the gate stands free and now, it seems, so lonely
10.	A Pilgrim Of The Deep 04:09	lyrics	buy track
all, is silence, down below the ice flow drifting, there i see her floating slowly toward me behold god, suspended there pale and nude, her face obscured by long red hair staring deep, a slow embrace oozing ink, her mouth agape to show the way now i'm lost in the setting sun now i'm lost like everyone tell them all of the drowned one call me mad and so they shun creeping back 'neath the setting sun creeping back to the drowned one stay below til the raising sun frost bite turned my limbs to none now i sit, a head and chest begging them, to return me back to the deep all, is silence, down below the ice flow drifting, as all time slows obscured by the ink flow staring deep, perfect embrace diving down, in silent grace blissfully drowned
11.	Night Spat Up Blindly 04:34	lyrics	buy track
and in that darkness that gentle play of ink and swirling hair did spawn a strange light all green and pale shimmer from deep below and i did dive down into a great expanse of piety unto a dark god a great unblinking eye, the blessed night begat the dawning of the darkest day night screams a strange way bound down in your faith night beats the bright day and in that drowned world i did behold a pious people who did drive spikes in deep into their feet to fix them in place and so they kneel and pray wrapped in seaweed respawn and strangle bound by those green tendrils fully obscured rocked by the slow tide there in the dark sea, night spat up blindly bound figures kneeling, bound to the dark sea thousands there kneeling, silent summoning lodged in the dark sea, loving their pleaing silent unblinking, voices our building strange night is screaming, screams from the dark sea not from their praying, dark sea is screaming horrid and heaving, wretch up the dark sea now i must sleep, and wander with my queen endless sleep, and dream there of my queen
12.	Dream As A Dream 05:07	lyrics	buy track
breaking like silence a crashing wave they carry you low to the end of the page now bind it like noise an endless noise and break it like sound a wave destroyed.. it forms without thought somewhere inside an echo an echo an echoing sigh the promise of silence endless deep (so) vast is the ocean of endless sleep.. (a) crown luminescent of pure unlight calling on the shadows to form wicked sprites now gather and teem here at my side a whispering horde darkly we ride.. and i will make sharp my wicked tongue long as the noose from which you hung echo like silence, silence your slave feeding back loud to drive you insane mad eyed and violent, violent the reign break like a neck break like a wave echo like silence, silence your slave feeding back loud to drive you insane mad eyed and violent, violent the reign break like a neck break like a wave and i see you, (a) shroud of gloom lovely still, in your tomb waltzing low, naught but bone blood dancing, from your throat i see everything (and its) only you dream as a dream (and its) only you see everything (and its) only you dream as a dream (and its) only you see everything (and its) only you dream as a dream (and its) only you see everything (and its) only you dream as a dream (and its) only you
