Metropolism 02:23
lyrics
buy track
Smog choking the nation A creeping frustration Cul-de-sac mutation Societal castration Moths stunned in amazement Anxiety can't face it Hooked bait for the taking Industrialization Sweeping dirt, from chimneys Soot fills lungs, cough crimson Live meal, to meal Your kings feel, indifference Factory, cathedral Sacrifice and kneel Beg borrow, and steal Your god feels, indifference It all feels so shitty So ugly, so pretty A sour note repeated A cage for dead Kitties Clouds parting, over cities Broken by the phoenix Cleansing rain, praise aditi Departing, more's the pity

The Pit and the Pendulum 07:39
lyrics
buy track
I was sick Unbound, allowed to sit The humming voices strum within At inquisitions whim And i am damned And all i love is lost to ground The silence, stillness and the night Bereft of sound and without light The pit and the pendulum The pit and the pendulum A ticking clock An iron doorway, locked Behold the instruments of death Bow to the silencers of breath As blessed angels tend their creaking forms and skeletons Shall ever haunt my dreams The pit and the pendulum The pit and the pendulum Death is struck, and nature waking, All creation is quaking, And lo, the book, exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded, When the Judge her seat attaineth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. Righteous Judge, for sin's pollution Grant me thy gift of absolution The pit and the pendulum The pit and the pendulum Absolution
