Anias Nin In Jatinga
05:52
|
|||
|
With the woes of the day settled in the glade
A saturated rhythm science forbade
Each empyrean vagabond amid dreams of breath
An autumn deluge of feather’s dipping to their death
Jatinga’s fields bestrewn with the mesmerized, the dead
The doctrine of logic now humbled lowers it’s head
Why diurnal should yaw aphotic
Whims of the illogic remain hypnotic
Mischief on her tongue her defenses in her pocket
If danger swells here now you can see her stalk it
Is the earth her magnet, is it the blind of the vapor
What brings her to the alley shirt open to this caper
Rationality on mute the absurd brings her to her knees
An inebriated equation surrenders to the tease
Waking from their lullaby the flocks and Anias Nin
Providing themselves sweetly to perilous sin
Why diurnal should yaw aphotic
Whims of the illogic remain hypnotic

Devotees
03:51
|
|||
|
Devotees to the lies
Time to unfurl your eyes
Purveyors of supposition
Summon onus for it’s attrition
Another soldier to the earth
Another sold in water after birth
No more time for this fiction
We alone must halt affliction
Freedom is free
Each passel slave to a word
Blind surrender to the heard
You see the price of admission
Faith taking life a long tradition
With your head pushed underwater
It’s with this same trust you’ll slaughter
If the unknown introduces fear
Linger deep in your abandon dear

Dying Stars
02:47
|
|||
|
Get it out, tear it out at any cost
Pull its fucking life apart
Stomp it to pieces and scream out loud
Scrape the shards across your skin
Crushing weight
Of distant dying stars
A universe of endless screams pulled into the void
For none to hear
In the end we all get swallowed and spat out again
In the end we all get eaten and shit out to the wind
In the end we all get eaten and shit out to the wind

Dusk Lifts Its Skirt
05:52
|
|||
|
When the rain hurries home
And the dusk lifts its skirt
Blush against monochrome
Shiver laced in with mischief
Drug on the tongue,
settling in
making my lungs
harbinger to the forest’s hunger
Yielding a naive bird
to the dark water’s edge
Your thirst still undeterred
Your keen glances in yen
Where the whores giggle
Where the strangers stiffen
I will find you there
Rain soaked, lust bitten
You open my mouth
You unlace your fury
You take what you want
Leave my conscience dirty
I could die right here
Leave my body nameless
This is your doing
You will find me shameless
Down by the railroad tracks
There’s a fable foretold
What is given returned
Oh but this steal’s so cold
Wind through the trees
You’re unprepared
Reciprocate
Will you be spared?
Though the darkness you wade
Spite’s heat kisses my face
On these cold tracks you laid
I brought spools of my hate
Where the vagrants roam
Where the fable’s written
You will find me there
Rain soaked, angst bitten
I’ll open up your mouth
I’ll unlace my fury
I will take what I want
Leave your conscience dirty
You could die right here
leave your body nameless
This is my doing
Will you find me blameless?
Will you find me blameless?
Here the train comes
Hear the beast’s thrum
Feel the time slip
Away…..
A child’s memory to betray
Feel the time slip
Here the train comes
Hear the beast’s thrum

As You Sink
03:48
|
|||
|
Dipping the tough soles of your feet
Sorrow’s ocean here to greet
As to those above the water you shrink
I watch you growing as you sink
You were swimming treading water everyday
Today you fall deeper, at the bottom you lay
It’s quiet like January in the north
It’s here the nothing beckons you forth
Your body blue, your mind the sky’s art
Tells you quite frankly with reality to part
weighed down by empty, the nothing, the space
Viktor Frankel graffitied his name in this place
Dipping the tough soles of your feet
Sorrow’s ocean here to greet
As to those above the water you shrink
I watch you growing as you sink

The Seconds Rebel
03:59
|
|||
|
I said to you we couldn’t go back
Rocky regret lay downstream
You said to me we couldn’t go forth
The current’s fury extreme
With my hand tucked in yours
Dark truth lodged in my throat
Stasis wanders away
It’s here the presence is wrote
To harness helium’s whim
To harvest waters deep swell
To distill all that we have
So in this moment we’d dwell
But time is an intruder
A warrior to the still
This moment our only fight
Please stay right here nurse me until…
The seconds rebel
The sun’s path suspended
The raven frozen in flight
The future and past amended
To harness helium’s whim
To harvest waters deep swell
To distill all that we have
So in this moment we’d dwell
But time is an intruder
A warrior to the still
This moment our only fight
Please stay right here nurse me until…
The seconds rebel
The sun’s path suspended
The raven frozen in flight
The future and past amended
A-a-amended

Tigerweb
03:59
|
|||
|
Caught in a tiger’s web
Slaughtered dreams standing by
It wasn’t that long ago the rainbows haunted this place
Now you sit anxious to see, see the next sacrifice
The way the people watch the gods, watch the sky for more,
The milkweed kept the children busy
while the mothers and fathers tended to the earth’s blood
You woke up wanting less
You woke up with the more
And you waited, waited for what will be
The forecast is late today the girl is making out in the hayloft
cause she knows she hasn’t got long
And the smell of composted regret filling the city tells us all we haven’t long
But still you shower and brush your teeth
The threat of a cavity from the sweetness of the end looms large in your mind
The whole world is trying to wake up
But the sandman put this shit in their eyes
And it’s nothing new
And it’s nothing more
And it’s nothing less
And it’s less than nothing

Yet another masterpiece from this great band, it was difficult to choose a favorite track from this album, since every track is a hit as far as I'm concerned. This band just keeps getting better and better.
