AFTER THE BURIAL LYRICS

1. Behold the Crown

Eternal fury, the wrath within
Scorched by the fires that sent me
Battle on into the night
In shallow graves, they will suffer

Smash everything around you, it's all yours if you wish
Give and take in the palm of your hand, return us all where we begin
Spun of earth, masked and secret, liars hide inside us all
With sharpened teeth vast that never end, to the gallows, we descend

Lost to the patterns of pitch and smoke
Where we will beg
Outside asylum that can't exist
Where we will beg, where we will beg

All those who oppose us pushed down and stamped out
Behold the crown of misery
A question of violent faith, to question all of man
Behold the crown of misery
A question of violent faith, to question all of man
All those who oppose us pushed down and stamped out

[Guitar solo]

Lost to the patterns of pitch and smoke
Where we will beg
Outside asylum that can't exist
Where we will beg, where we will beg

Eternal fury, the wrath within
Scorched by the fires that sent me
Battle on into the night
In shallow graves, they will suffer

Behold the crown of misery
A question of violent faith, to question all of man
Behold the crown of misery
A question of violent faith, to question all of man

2. Exit, Exist

These old scars
Callous against the touch
Maps made of flesh and bone
A glacial serenity, we find our way (We find our way)
Notes scrawled of crimson and blue
Sought the light of a dimming existence
Unwinding as the ghost of me was pulled away

Destroyer of worlds
We roam these realms forgotten
Forgive me for I am man

Cosmic labyrinthian
Unearth the soul as I reach in
All hands lost in the crimson
Do we feel what we cannot touch?
Can we pull ourselves from the rust?
All hands lost in the crimson

Keep the outside never in
Nothing matters
When focused on the past
Our futures shatter

Do we feel what we cannot touch?
Can we pull ourselves, ourselves from the rust?

I'm only seen in the pictures
Most days are a bitter pain
Amongst the shipwrecked

Cosmic labyrinthian
Unearth the soul as i reach in
All hands lost in the crimson
Do we feel what we cannot touch?
Can we pull ourselves from the rust?
All hands lost in the crimson

3. 11/26

We stray, learning balance between time
Your innocence emanates but wisdom still ignored
Quiet and calm, a wordless devotion you share
Our thought like wind
Remind us of what we were

We're killing the purest
In disbelief we often lie

And when you bloom, will you leave her behind?
Or use your light to shine the way?
Caught in the doom, innocence left behind
Your words give us sight
We live (We live) to feel alive
Untethered (Untethered), controller of worlds
Still gilded and bright
Teach me your ways
Unlock (Unlock) the doors I shut so long ago

Can you hold onto the innocence, as the universe toils and turns?
Or can you call upon the gods and radiate the way you do now?

We're killing the purest
In disbelief we often lie
Will you stay untethered
Where now your innocence is left behind?

(And when you bloom will you leave her behind?
Caught in the doom, innocence left behind)

We live to feel alive
Untethered, controller of worlds
Still gilded and bright
Teach me your ways, unlock the doors I shut so long ago
I find color in your words, beguiling ghosts in your eyes (Your eyes)
Untethered (Untethered), controller of worlds
Still gilded and bright

[Guitar solo]

4. In Flux

Evergreen becomes me
Resistant child grown of wood and branch
Despondent, lost in flux
Distort the images of who I am
Searching for fire, I felt the fall pulling me back again
As seasons changed, I spun the Earth
My hands felt full of stone and hardened

Time left, construct of all our fears
Time left, it becomes the catalyst for failure

I'll miss the winter ways
The frost plumes breathing loud within
Sound and shake that kept the glow
A passion beaming from our eyes
And at the end I gave all of me to you
Shed skin and felt alive
So send your waters tonight
And wash the memories away

Nothing looked the same when
The ice dripped down my eyes

Gaze against a reflection of myself
Now worn and winded, vitals keep me trudging on
Made of wood, branch breaking while I grow
Gaze against from roots to roads
Beside a shadow laid frayed and waiting
One day I'll look back, following along, retracing
Beside a shadow laid frayed and waiting
Outstretched arms to bring me home
Stare back from the Evergreen
Rest my bones

Bring me home, under the night rest my bones
Shadows balance on worlds
Under the night, into the abyss
Bring me home, under the night rest my bones
Shadows balance on worlds
Under the night, into the abyss

5. Respire

I fold, I give into myself
Let these tendril branch out and wrap around me
No longer a motive inside this drift
Learning to let go of the great resist
Forever a mortal man, and nothing else
A mortal man, and nothing else

Reflecting as life hands you life
Peaceful tendril, wrap your arms around me so I feel free
Married to ideals and nothing else, I’ve learned to let this go
My body unto the slow

Take in water, respire
Feel deep blue, expire
Attached to an ideal, I relinquish
I fell exempt
Take in water, respire
I fell exempt
I fell exempt
Yeah

(Balance the world between the gales of madness
Balance the world between the gales of madness)
Balance the world between the gales of madness
Rocked in sway, no anchors to hold
Never as I could be
Balance the world between the gales of madness
Tow the line, search for peace, detach from the worst of me
Into the deep, eternally

[Guitar solo]

Reveal to me
Where do I wander when I let go?
Or do I drift inside this slow?
Images of everything, can we conceive what we believe?
Outside a falseness and outside our fear (Outside our fear)
Peaceful tendril, wrap your arms around me so I feel free
I fell free inside this slow
I’ve learned to let this go

Take in water, respire
Feel deep blue, expire
Attached to an ideal, I relinquish
I fell exempt
Take in water, respire
I fell exempt

Take in water, respire (I fell exempt)
Feel deep blue, expire (I fell exempt)
Attached to an ideal, I relinquish (I fell exempt)
Take in water, respire
I fell exempt
I fell exempt

6. Quicksand

Hopeful, a design we forget
Lost in translation of yesterday
Sunk in worrisome sand
Futures slip away and we forget
We focus on the present, we overlook the loved
Meaningless beautiful days banked away
Sifting through the rot of carrion memories
We let these granules sway our lives
Worthless burdens embellished
Buried alive, we implode
Buried alive, we implode

Piece yourself back together
Just a fractured face in ancient stone
Worn away by a desolate wind
We focused on the present
We overlooked the loved

Distancing myself from within, I feel it
We separate and spin
I can see myself unravel
We get lost in the flutter, my feet sink back in sand
Climb and climb, exhausted, it doesn't matter
Release my body into the expanse
Into the fray, into the fray

I can feel it, it pulls at me
I can feel it, it’s gripping me
Not ready now, I won't give in
This life won't end
Sunk in this meaningless sand

7. The Great Repeat

Was it worth anything?
So much time wasted, cut the lights out and I felt alone
Choking on self-inflicted agony as I was stranded
Everything flickered so far away
An illusion built with my own hands
See past the waving colors and lights
Beyond the edge where I belong

One day at a time, the glowing great repeat
Alive inside the calm
I hear the whispering wind as the sirens call
Sing me back to sleep
Sing me back to sleep

Guide me home
Incubated, I see that we only matter (We only matter)
Rush over and build me dreams in waking life
Open up my eyes
Stand still, searching for the sound
The glowing rhythm in my chest
Quiet and forever still
The warmth wraps its arms around me

[Guitar solo]

One day at a time, the glowing great repeat
Alive inside the calm
I hear the whispering wind as the sirens call
Sing me back to sleep
Sing me back to sleep

(The glowing great repeat
The glowing great repeat
The glowing great repeat
The glowing great repeat)

8. To Challenge Existence

Bleed for a lifetime, but remain fixed
To challenge existence and push through the bleak
To find the end
And in my head, the mystery of man
And in my head, we'll see the brighter days

Eyes blaze through lifetimes
A visionary's dream come to being
Chased to the end and held on for dear life
Find me inside the sound
Between the secrets that surround us
We rise above

To follow the same path until we get it right
With you, the good fight
What stories to tell, you and I
Perfect elements balance on what becomes us, becomes us

Bleed for a lifetime, but remain fixed
To challenge existence and push through the bleak
To find the end
And in my head (In my head)
The mystery of man (The mystery of man)
And in my head, we'll see the brighter days

And if a light goes out, the mind will show the way
Carry the flame for tomorrow, a sacred blaze (Sacred blaze)
Radiant hands flaring full of gold as we smash into infinity (Infinity)
Challenge existence and stare into everything I've ever known

To follow the same path
Until we get it right
With you, the good fight

What stories to tell you and I
We gave into it all, submerged ourselves
Live by words of the same thought
Blink and it's over
Live by words of the same thought
Breathe when you can
When time keeps its promise
I'll look back and see my mark
I'll see my mark

9. A Pulse Exchanged

We jump from dream to dream, being to being
Same model, different world
Same places, different shores
We explore each other's eyes
Drifting passengers outsiders searching for it
Windows to worlds
One piece of the puzzle in the same picture
Tumble and perceive
Our dreams grasp realms
A passenger with false control

Life strings lead to different worlds
In night braille our souls unhinge
Same cloth but never knit
Come set me free

Born of ash, shaped with mud
Carved from oak, we are ghosts

In parallel lives, do we die or disconnect lost frequencies?
Our bodies, nothing more than a shell
A pulse exchanged and let go

This life, in a moment disappears
Born of ash, shaped with mud
Carved from oak, we are ghosts

I seem alright, as my body became undone
Into the great expanse

Life strings lead to different worlds
In night braille our souls unhinge
Same cloth but never knit
Come set me free

Born of ash, shaped with mud
Carved from oak, we are ghosts

In parallel lives, do we die or disconnect lost frequencies?
Our bodies, nothing more than a shell
A pulse exchanged and let go

Into the expanse
Reborn and erased
A disappearance of faces
Another version of me

Through the great expanse
Reborn and erased
A passenger behind my eyes
Through the great expanse
Reborn and erased
A passenger behind my eyes
I hope you're there (I hope you're there)
I hope you're there
