Meet me glassy eyed, blind, and divine Hold down the fort on the coastline The castle is a pimple on the face of our orb A humble spot for clues to drop if you eavesdrop I see through the bricks, to the sea, crumbling castle Water's rising up, thick and green, crumbling castle Inching closer each century, crumbling castle Are we safe in our citadel? Look upon our condition, crumbling castle You would not believe where I'm from, crumbling castle We wait for the death, that does not come, crumbling castle Dug all the holes in God's Acre, crumbling castle We have even said our last rites, crumbling castle Are we safe in our holding cell? Look upon our condition, crumbling castle We head to our extinction, crumbling castle The sounds of the constant lightning Would be enough to block out The thought of the end of the world If it were not for our tinnitus from the bomb In the wind I sway, back and forth I'm brittle as an aged human being Where my walls are safe from wild weather The filth forms into great nastiness Polygondwanaland I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle I don't want to fall into dust I don't want nothing but to live on The ache inside my keep spurs me on I don't want to be invisible Polygondwanaland I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle On this very day, in one thousand years The earth will be relative to the sun and the moon And a new world will be created I know because it is written here I see through the bricks to the sea, crumbling castle Inching closer each century, crumbling castle Water's rising up, thick and green, crumbling castle Are we safe in our citadel? Look upon our condition, crumbling castle You would not believe where I'm from, crumbling castle I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle

The river opened her mouth and spat into a vast sea larger and bluer than a cloudless sky. Muscular, prodigious, immortal. But our vessel was invulnerable. It was well built, the boat rocked me into sleep and I floated through a deep dream, smooth sailing through the castle in the air... One-eyed people living peaceful With monopods and astomi Without malice or guile Without covetousness Ohh, ahh And there's men whose heads do Grow beneath their shoulders Maybe we'll find the world's center Where equinox casts no shadows Spread our teaching Alleviate their damnation Ohh, ahh Ohh, ahh Without us they will go to hell We are casting spells Could it be faithful? It couldn't seem more real As I opened my eyes The dream de-colorised Until it was obscured And the harsh reality hit me like salty water

Meet with me, in the dark Of the street, there we'll start Believing, secretly Utopia, freedom in The inner cell Look for me, with a beak A cloak adorned, scent of leaves A void between, foul stench Of those above, whispering Inner cell Dance of the dead Will descend on his head And extend to the Families' hubris From under the skin, insurrection From hollow logs, from shallow streams And drying seas Let us walk through the night To a place clandestine Free your mind, disregard All you know, infiltrate The inner cell You must not accept His sick version of Life itself, disrespect Everything, multiply Inner cell Dance of the dead Will descend on his head And extend to the Families' hubris From under the skin, the flesh has rotten Poison has spread, through words unsaid Anemic rule, now hear me say Our time has come, transcending us Above the one, to ego death For now he sits inside the fire Oblivious that we will keep Him in the spire, have found resolve And our own crimes to commit In cold blood as he did his

I see all there is And has ever been I am not a man I am everything Picture of purity Deific reign Ordained unto me Prehistoric god Theophany I shall not move Those who try I will drink their blood I'll be watching them I am everywhere Floating on the wind Hiding in the dark Pure omniscience Traitors will quake At the thought of me Hang them on a hook Put them on display Examples must be made This is a test I am Lord, fear my wrath This is a test I am Lord, I am death What is with these crimes of treason? I will fight this inquisition if I have to I will not surrender! If I'm backed into a corner I will draw and quarter all their children Just to prove I'm not a coward! I will put them all on Judas Cradle Just to show them a god incarnate Where's the loyalty Where's their loyalty? Where's the loyalty Where's their loyalty? No man - no problem

Once upon a time There was a great hermit dominion Veiled from inside and out Ruled by a lone eremite Bringer of an inferno Conduit to Satan himself To Tchort, Abaddon, and Set A demented figurehead Heinous looking thing, he was Cold and terrible A long and aquiline nose Between swelling temples His green eyes, a window To the Ninth Circle of Hell A tiny neck supporting a head Filled with an unbending desolation Seditious bands storm the bastion Alive with revenge Grand intentions Unbeknownst protomartyrs Indoctrinated With impalement Just like that the plot was crushed Brushed away without a thought Some were found alive, though Left to roam without their skin Cauterized and blistering Forever marked for all to see Reminding those who think dissent Is a bridge across the sea One did make a pilgrimage In search of a family Evaporated in the dark Stolen by the despot A journey made all the worse Having had his eyes gouged He left without the gift of sight To face his true destroyer Across the land he walked with death Parading his Ossuary Upon reaching the castle walls A twist of fate His mind baulks Sit down weary traveler I am that what you seek Join me in a meal To hear of my repentance Lift the veil from your eyes And look beyond the three Now you know the truth behind: It's tetrachromacy

I heard a story, could be true About a colour under blue You couldn't see it with your eyes Or invent with intellect Like the inverse of colourblindness It's shrouded like a natural gas I've got to see it for myself Settle my own curiousness Back and forth swing like the tide I look to the left and through to right My three shades are divisible Lust to see the invisible The story man was glassy-eyed He told me about the power lines And in subarctic caribou eyes The metal wires burst into life They flick across the territory Resplendent mackerel sky Some of the snow absorbs UV Unseeable crumbs in dye Picking up clues 'bout my eyes I scrutinize the iris of the storm's eye My three shades are divisible Lust to see the invisible Tetrachromacy See what I can't see Tetrachromacy See what I can't see Polygondwanaland Inconspicuous hue will be Crowded camouflage to me My three shades are divisible Lust to see the invisible Tetrachromacy See what I can't see Tetrachromacy See what I can't see

Searching for the way Try to brighten up my day Searching for the gold Inside the rainbow Looking through rose-coloured glasses won't work It won't change anything My body's not a temple It is a vessel And a blank slate An empty hard drive Doctor please, I'll do anything Alter me, let me see Give me more I want to see the world differently Searching, searching Searching, searching I've been born again I see the light It's in my face I'm analyzing information Now I am a god
