lyrics

The pitted light grazes
Drawings eyes to briefest glimpses
Beyond the sparse and umber land 
Spinous peaks and torn towers

not encumbered by firs utterance 
the vertebrae rise in vivid order  
of the world from long before 
a land that's wears its thread-bear shawl

when the skin is peeled
and the muscle revealed
veinous entanglement 
pulse with percussive rhythm

We sway and teeter to its
raw and febrile syncopation
It's allure irresistible
we are drawn up, the pipers tone

and at once the land we have known
seems so very distant 
here at the divined line
where forest edge is well defined 
and beyond its steely realm
a place unknown to all

It holds
a quality 
diminished life and violence
memories that have survived
in frightful clarity 

the stretching sky, languor shrouds
pulled taught toward with vigorous breath
the ruptured path; chisel hewn
of swarming storms, exhume!
the petulant gods, unbeholden to us
lash and lambaste
curdled clouds, clotted fat
the jaundiced milk spills foul
deific whims of a god who gloats
diabolical rules that we suffer under

the petulant gods, unbeholden to us
lash and lambaste
the petulant gods, unbeholden to us
lash and lambaste

held in its grasp, the consequence
I can never run away from it
my fellow Norr beseech me
they pray that I not tread beyond

but what does one gain from
such fear that is inclined to halt
And I am gone, into the breach
under my feet, sheen of bone

the stark sand blasted rubble
a poverty of the living
engulfed with tumultuous grit
where no one could possibly dwell

behemoth shoulders
and the shadow they do bring
draping the grey cold where
the sun is at its peak
my body strains to preserve
what little I have left

the presence of old machine
precision cuts of industry 
and the sand once molten 
now static cusps of glass 

do you still
smile for us 
old forgiving grin?

whilst we wade
amongst the
remnants of
our malady
