lyrics

trials and tribulations
survive the wickedness their lies and mayhem
mausoleums and
the flights of ravens
sublime abrasive the time is taken
the clock is ticking on
survivors take ten
that's three to spare
believers they can leave us there
the pine anonymous
try to topple this
what?
the mighty obelisk
plus a feisty novelist
supplying plights to novices
the culture's sub until they monetize it
gods of crisis
holograms sham barrages brutal, thoughts of Midas
mirages, tyrants swear to higher powers falsifying
Being that adult to guide them through the caustic lying
Minds that sour find the lemon rind to grind away
I’m flashing back to China days, all of the nights I lied awake
Or lay awake, thinking about the hammer squad with neighbors slain
Skulls singing pain refrains until the life has faded
Be still with knives that sharpen on the flint, the slightest traces


Trying to save face the burner glows upon the stove
Lay them down upon the shield that stays bespoke
Rage that grows a cancer steadily erodes
Replacing face with groves, rows of scars appear
A darkness here the hardest parts betrothed
The soldiers march in rows, madness in the parchment scrolls
Savage straight from parts unknown, ravaging so guard your dome
I’m tapping in playing tag with teams, the beast of famine binges
Handsome digits entranced with the plans that stand committed
His trance religious broken by the falling phosphorous
Atrocities are knock knock jokes spoken to a coffin lid
Find them where the paupers live in boxes offer optimists
The proper operatives who proffer thought for awful problems swift
A prophecy apocalypse apothecary dropping hints
A drop of dairy causing tears to fall and wet colossal risk
The sauce it varies spreading panic in the wake of sleepless nights
A beast supplied with beef to keep alive the deified
