Enigma

Suspicion is a tool, to confiscate your mind again
There so called truth, derisive default
Brought to misguide
They’re right and wrong, all at the same time, it’s their deceit
My guidance is strong, no enigma , no treachery
Suspicion is our tool
Now that is time to spread the virus
The ones who reign, now shielded off
They will be gone and overthrown
They’re right and they’re wrong, all at the same time, it’s their deceit
We’re weak and we’re strong, we’ll find the way, on track, against the grain
Shield off, unthrone relentless beasts
Resurrect our fragile ancestry
Don't you see this
Suspicion is a tool, to confiscate your mind again
There so called truth, derisive default
A path that misguides us
Shield off, unthrone relentless beasts
Resurrect our fragile ancestry
And don't affix me now
Give me the blues down the line
Resurrect our fragile ancestry
Don’t you see this fail
You won’t see us fail, distraction is our gift, rebuild our promised land
Just a minor sacrifice, at our sacred shrine, the holy temple of our words,
Hallowed words, yeah, hallowed words
Don’t you see this fail again

Apathy Awakened
06:18
|

|
Our eyes smoulder, a fire, faint, sheds no light
Our thoughts stirred up
A flame so faint it’s smothered again
A lie spoken, so self-assured, we’re left tongue-tied
They’re slaying our world
Like there’s no tomorrow
They’re wasting our lands
It’s this time again
But this apathy,
Is our worst enemy, all over again
We long for a strong hand to guide and silence
Our voice nothing more than a hollow shell, once dissident minds
Comfort prevails, evades morality
On this road we’ll meet decay
The golden cage for our affray
It’s time, it’s time to be aware
This truth so bold
Too rude to face
Too many ways for evasion
Conspiracies, our sceptic schemes
We must turn away from decrying to defying
And they steal, our soil and light, every reason is set aside
Yeah they steal, our soil and light, our morality dead and gone
Apathy, meagre yet delighting, oh we’re eaten from the inside
Corrosion of our sanity

Debita Nostra
07:00

Bring the offer, bring it now
Live through me and resign yourself
Burn the altar, burn the flag
Live through me and recast
Break the flaws of men
Live through me and I’ll tell you what is right!
All summer, a tranquil place of joy
All delightful, a meaningless truth unfolds
For the dutiful, spirited of hearts
My words guide you, bound to light
Live through me and renounce your pride
Burn the gospel, burn the shrine
Live to the only alignment
Live through me and I’ll tell you what is right, what is right!
All summer, a tranquil place of joy
Bringing sheer delight, a meaningless truth untold
For the dutiful, spirited of hearts
fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo, et in terra.
et dimítte nobis, debita nostra, debita nostra
The night engulfs our prayers, indulgent requiem
Words our final asset, to create the fall

You and I
Fractures of cyan
A self-chosen asylum
You and I
The absence that binds
Longing comes to enclosure
Obscured by the words that have abandoned all meaning
A prosperous well, there to feed our minds
The nourishment can’t be found
Are we blinded by a surplus of light?
We are building shelters
Creating symbolic barricades,
Weigh our words, and have thereby overlooked
The truthfulness of dreams
Casted the night away
For clarity of thoughts
All alone, we will reach for this final straw
Casted the night away
Our efforts mask our loss
All alone, nothing’s concealed
We have become our veil
We are facing our faceless mirrors
Creating symbolic barricades
Our words are both, encrypted and corrupted
Until they will dissolve
Casted the night away
For clarity of thoughts
All alone, we will reach for this final straw
Casted the night away
Our efforts mask our loss
All alone, nothing’s concealed
We have become our veil
Until it will dissolve
We've traded the tyrant for self restraint
Nothing stands in our way
All we receive, a shimmer of light
Augury of our decay

The Elusive
08:24

Dig deeper than the soil
Nowhere near the mystique
Realise and soon, you’ll see
Fright confused with rage
A script so convenient
It provides a way out
I keep falling for deceit, your useful idiot
This affront makes you the noble one
If you sow doubt, you will reap the hunger
For more division and deluded tongues.
In disarray you thrive, it reassures you.
An endless smouldering fire to quench or fuel.
Drinking from the muddy waters, wash away our sanity
Rather drugged than vulnerable
Now the self-proclaimed Guardian Angel reaches his elusive hand
Why this agony, we contend the doctrine
Led ourselves astray
I keep falling for deceit, your useful idiot
This affront makes you the noble one
If you sow doubt, you’ll reap the hunger.
For more division and deluded tongues.
In chaos you thrive, it re-assures you.
A endless smouldering fire to quench or fuel.
Drinking from the muddy waters, wash away our sanity
Rather drugged than vulnerable
Now the self-proclaimed Guardian Angel reaches his elusive hand
How we’ve tried, to fit into the mould
Reshaped, redefined, a corset for the soul
How you’ve entered into our minds, collecting all our reveries,
swallow them up, consuming our thoughts, what you reap is what you sow
Drinking from the muddy waters, wash away our sanity
Rather drugged than vulnerable
Now the self-proclaimed Guardian Angel reaches his elusive hand
Dig deeper than the soil
Nowhere near the mystique
Realise and soon, you’ll see

Moira

I’ve been wading through water
Subside, the hours form landslides
Immerse myself in time
We’ve been crawling back again
Senseless effort to abide
This time
I’ve been waiting for some promises
And I will lay my head
And let this night cover me
I’ve been wading through water
Falter, and alter my route again
Immerse myself in time
You were longing for a saviour
A senseless effort to abide
This time
I’ve been waiting for some promises
And I will lay my head
And let this night cover me
And i will cuff my soul and
Get out of your way
So await
The Saviour of our time
The Guardian of time
Yeah
Yet this road leads astray, it gives me rest nor pulse
And when you think that it is passing over, you'll meet the cold again
Yeah
This road took me away, I couldn’t tell right from wrong
It took all, cut off, and corrupted me, It’s my fate’s irony

The Insatiable
05:03
|

|
As we plowed through time
Just hold on
To a stoical silence
A narcotic lethargy?
Just hold on
Or a solution to proceed?
Piling up our foolish dreams
Each day a new horizon of hope
The more supplied, the more we need
To define the pace of life
You waste all this time
Warding off, imminent fate
You waste all this time
The future won’t, won't wait for this day
You seek distraction and amusement
An impossible thirst to quench
When there’s a lack of scarcity
Desires can’t be pleased
You waste all this time
Hiding from, this finite thread
You waste all this time
Hold on to this way
Believe this myth of our time
Well-of psychosis, a perfect lie
Believe this myth of our time

Hemera’s Call
05:14
|
|||
|
Nocturnal ambuscade
In a boiling, dark we meet
Shades devour shades and foreshadow
Our feverish minds
Give me a sign to resign
Hemera’s call
We await her, dressed in saffron
To expel this curtain of mist
I wander, I wander into the dusk
To catch a glimpse of ...
I'll meet her in disguise
Mind unlocked by cascading light
Conspiring with the earthly and celestial
Condition redefined
Resolve in carbon coloured minds
Await her, visualise
Hemera's call
We await her, dressed in saffron
To expel this curtain of mist
I wander, I wander into the dusk
To catch a glimpse of ...
Give me a sign to resign, Hemera’s call
Give me a sign, to withdraw

Transient Endeavours
05:00
|
|||
|
She enters
Our stronghold hums an indolent song
Glistering in a distinct light
Ignites an absent cold
We pour the water
Through our judgements, into our lungs
We take it in, respire
The fragments of what once was
Our past, perfect chronicle
Longing for a glamorous tale,
A shelter to the soul
She whispers
A silence to occlude my hope
Glistering, this dim light
Thoughts dead before outspoken
We pour the water
Through our desires, into our lungs
We take it in, respire
The fragments of what once was
Our transient endeavour, try to hold on
Longing for a glamorous tale
Past, perfect tale
As she greets the day
The night carves out my voice
As she longs, she longs
All I can give will resolve
Through the night, she greets me
When she’d restore my faith
I’d line up
When she’d embrace my fate
I would fight
I’ll defeat all her fears and her foes
When she’d plead, she pleads

Witty and raucous as ever, the Chicago noise-rockers rip into "flat earthers" and "tween shitbags" with misanthropic glee.
