Afterdusk
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
First the auspices, they came dripping from the sky
Set their course to the coast
Black sand blazing in their eyes
We woke and bore witness to a tarnished veil of gold
Tiny corpses line the strand
Obsolescence unfolds
Intravenously, hypodermic pipelines seep toxins to the sea
Adorning our shores with negligence
Suffocate, immolate, cauterize the surface
Poison dances in the sky
Walk with me, walk with me and see our colonies
Breeding dystrophy
Can you feel, feel the disconnect resonate
Burn inside your chest?
Palpitating, palpitating pulse
Failing heart, cardiac convulse
The violence we love, it's cyclical
We rise and we fall, it's inevitable
Is it fatal? Is the fallout inevitable?
It was all for nothing, spiraling out of control
Misdirected decathect
Both indirect and circumspect
Oh, architect of disconnect
In retrospect, I now suspect
Trace the hills with your hungry eyes
Witness how, like an orphan's spine
Cities protrude on the horizon line
Greed will rise and carve out the sky
Blinding us to the repercussion
Pull the blood from the earth
Leave a grave for your sons
Oil is the ink, fueling missiles like pens
Writing oblivion
Walk with me, walk with me and see our colonies
Breeding dystrophy
Can you feel, feel the disconnect resonate
Burn inside your chest?
Palpitating, palpitating pulse
Failing heart, cardiac convulse
The violence we love, it's cyclical
We rise and we fall, it's inevitable
Is it fatal? Is the fallout inevitable?
It was all for nothing, spiraling out of control
Is it fatal? Is the fallout inevitable?
It was all for nothing, spiraling out of control
This violence we love, it's cyclical
We rise and we fall, it's inevitable
The violence we love, it's cyclical
We rose just to fall
I followed the harm to the site of infection
The exit wounds where we made our home
We were gorged with the earth and drunk off the seas
And now we die with the taste of decay on our tongues
