Enemy of the Sun

My eyes were jaded, so close to the center I could not see But now they are fixed and glaring at the sacrifice to be made Now that I'm aware of the cycles I pray that I can deal Now that I have shown you these cycles I pray that you can feel In and out of the stray Taking the bait Feeling compelled to obey, betray The isle of await Running scared from their thought Thinking I can summon some ancient truth before wrong Seeking my nature, our nature with fear of being caught Or have we been like this all along The dawn of birth gives way to men Age brings dimness to sight as it must Death seals the eyelids on darkness once again Augmentation of the dust

Falling out, crawling out, seeking out Emerge now and see the Returning to raze my shrine Whole seeds no soul Blind, shall we lay tides shallow Wise, I stand my ground I will not stray Wounding the ego, get up lick your wounds Mistrust to survive, avoid being burned alive Biting other people with words Searching for oblivion, small scares etch permanence Tearing your whole life to shreds All that was alive and spontaneous Fading under the crests of imbalance Gnaw your teeth into fangs, only to have them lash out at yourself For what they forever have done to you Numbness escapes, willing to face the pain Your rebirth demands a part of you dead The longing in your heart for transcendence Something greater than what we've become

Your eyes are stained - you're shining low Candles burn on your star - slowdive in Old stain (slide on) Brain is cold ascending - crawl on bits Away - firestarter - crow (slide on)

Torn of this land's disgrace Too hungry to contain a future The sun bathes my wounds with a veil of rage It's rays dyed with the blood of our disrespect Suffering for the wisdom long forgotten The sound of bloodletting echoes on the wind The suicide of drought for a faith destroyed We starve with pride and glass in our throats Harvest their return Those who drive away the sun The masks lay fallen, sheltered in the dust Tearing our flesh amongst wolves See how they run as we laugh In lunar horizons there is understanding Harvest their return Carry my soul to the sun

On lasts the kill in the cold - the crush Succumbs humanity - the blind will lead The walk (Coal shoved into my skull - the time) (Of beasts - a time to rise) The mind plants seeds of time defined Within my loathsome eyes - the is black Of rage - red
