lyrics

Fugue plague

Drone dust malignancy
Jaundice the sun for me
Abrasive and bruised
By the deafening hum

Sloth sank its gums into me
Standing water stagnant
Drawn from our pawl
By the fumes of the dead

Long has the sun
Fiery incarnate
Been furious with us
Unfurl its molten girth
Scalding the land in
Pyromaniac
Ill tempered tantrums

We favoured its torment,
Begged acquiescence
It sneered at our whimper
Admonished us all
And lashed at our skin
In acrimony
With carcinogen cinder
Forgive our behaviour

Living in infamy,
A blasphemy
Scorched every artery
Beseech me oh lord!
Every bridge, helping hand
Has withered and died!

We’ve raised high the symbols
Of scoundrels and hedonists
Revel and gloat in
Our squandered inheritance

Scratching this living
Has made us all mean
Rat eaten songs
Of the great unclean

The livid insensitive
A world enamoured in filth
Fawn in the memories,
Parched mouths salivate

Stomachs speak louder
Than words ever fed
Blood oils and fuels this
Particular industry;

Our bodies like flasks of wine

You’re only as good as
How low you scan stoop and
The toiling your’e able to
Throats will be quenched
And lips you will feed
With your pound of flesh
When knees buckle under you!

The desert resisted us,
Silicate betrayer
Turncoat deserter
Whose side are you on?
With spite spittle ridden teeth
A trillion strong
Carved at its skin!

We've gorged on its severed neck,
We’ll drink you dry!
Hateful and full of it
We’ve stake our claim!
The mineral seams
And aquifer drained!

We revelled in our misery,
Drunk on our gluttony
Danced forlornly
In coagulate mud 

The blood of our own
Became the saving atrocity
To breed and digest
Our finest depravity

The sun shakes it head,
Wipes a plasma beat brow
And burns bright to rid
Of all we’ve defiled

For this earth has given
All that it can
So we spread out our hands 

There were once kings,
Whose reign was ordained 
By gods long committed
To rot in their graves

Beside channels of tar
That snakes reach elaborate
Their runes are emblazoned
Abreast arrows aimed north

North is the forest,
The line we daren’t cross
The cleaved land was
Betrothed to faces unseen

Yet why should we languish
In the sun storms vexations
When surely the forests
Meed is far richer?

Now stand the men in their hundreds
The hilt of each line a severed neck slumps
Each marks their face with the sanguineous
A mark to strike fear, mark in blood

North to the hem of the world
March, march
Marks the conquering
March, march
Beyond grating storms
March, march
Of heat and of dust

City of Gristle
Spill out your guts
Cadaver cavalry
Expel, advance

Red raw, sun sore, carcinoma pawns
Served on a platter to our solar crown

There in the cradle of eden betrayed
Green hides a sorcery just out of reach
Ripe for the harvest, there for the taking
To quell our great need

All will grovel, will take the knee
They will surrender, accept they are bettered
To our endeavour, a glorious fate
They will surrender!

Blasphemy in aggregate
Bodies of insolents
Dare to withstand us
Against better judgment

For the law of baked earth
Was once a slurry
Cracked in submission
To furious suns
Surrender, surrender, surrender!
