KRALLICE LYRICS

1. Idols

[Music: McMaster, lyrics: McMaster]

What choice have we but to worship the sun,
Else the idolatry of beauty and the myths of transformation
For a life already laden with every species of failure?

A grasping hand is cracked and leathery to the tough; a voice
Cries not to be abandoned

2. Wastes Of Ocean

[Initiated: Marston, lyrics: McMaster]

A final mirage enchants
Blood engulfs the eves

Wending through the cycles of mania
1,000 tiny ropes drag a body to the ground
The canvas of the dream a filthy, tattered rag
The gods gigantic in power

Swing after swing of the iron axe
Shoreline conflagration as I take a last look

Exile through wastes of ocean
Last flames that engulfed my world

3. Over Spirit

[Initiated: Barr, lyrics: Barr]

Breath of life and cloud
Black clouds which obscure
And devour celestial beings
Cosmic feast
Dizzy from all forms of blood
Beast god man
All screaming
Agony in collective ignorance
Called upon by thyself
Thyself being a part of all life
In the sickness
Quarantined in pure paranoia

4. Tyranny Of Thought

[Initiated: Marston. Lyrics: Weinstein]

There remains no monuments
To our vanity
No cenotaphs
To subsumed glory
Buried by the weight of years

We fashioned fate from the tyranny
Of thought
And the failure of noble intent
The failure of noble intent

And the great river of our blood roars in protest.
Tributaries swallowed by the
Grim god of silence
The god of silence

Relentlessly we wove the skeins
Heedless of our doom
Lashing to our lives
The promise of failure

And I will build within myself
A monument of flagellation
I will silence my tongue
And sacrifice myself to the empty vault of the firmament

5. Bitter Meditation

[Initiated: Barr, lyrics: Barr]

[Part 1 "Separation"]

Humming separately away
Left inward with untrained process
Towards separation
From the path that bleeds towards creation
Persistence of the morose
Murder thy kingdom of ash
Self deceivingly stretched upon nails
A forceless act
Science is a god
A tool like all gods

[Part 2 "The Guiding"]

Connectivity to the open sky
Beholding the kingdom of earth
Strangling in vines
Crawling through life's incessance
Insect messiah, body and blood
Mutual sustenance
Human blood on rotting leaves

6. Engram

[Initiated: McMaster, lyrics: McMaster]

Clot and freeze
Into fetid venous ropes
A groaning pulsing mesh of shackles

Engrams overlay anew, day of Ashura, flagellant march,
To mock our impotent cries to bind

And now this bed is a tomb
And home's threshold gives only a sinking chill

Because no matter what, it ends this way
With me taking your body to the fire

7. Trippin Balls
