Overcast
Album • 1997
Gag on ash dust Orange clouds loom in the summer's frozen chill Winding down, grinding down As our snowballing karma begins to titan Apocalypse upon us Emptiness is our end Emptiness Legions of dark divide and surround Coming from all parts of this forsaken town And how to you keep from laughing When you tell me it's alright And why do you keep from weeping When you tell me we will see tomorrow So easily depressed So deeply obsessed Worthless we've succumb Meaningless you've all become So much freedom in carelessness Everything is in the palm of our sweaty paws Rust to dust, fool proof solutions that draw flies Oh how your legs tire Muscels seize and bones crumble But the urge to run carries on The fire in your eyes rips through the streets My taste for it has soured Dead to the world am I Cause I never had faith in your kind Will you still hide your face when he is standing at your back door When he is sulking through your kitchen Till he is scratching under your bed Closer than you think We are all nothing

Scrambling to regain the shards of ideals shattered before me Terror to release all that binds me to this pitted Earth This day remains charred Immersed in the pools of reason Deny the weight of gravity Spiralling in rhythm of heartbeats Embracing this virgin reality Chemical agent transforms me Angel wings rise, unbound from flesh Sight open to all dimensions Revel in the power on this day of rebirth Like the moments of death... My life streams by in flashes Interwound... With the dream of the ancient Annotated with knowledge from journeys of past Bleeding slowly into the streams of the everlasting Not losing myself but growing into everything Spiraling, pondering, unwinding, never ending.
Wading in the midst of this singularity Universe condensed to the size of a wave Alien thoughts invade my mind, focus attention then denied Opiate dream soon realized and I am left half stranded Wading in the midst of this singularity Inspiration and expression in union as one Children rally round Jah's fire, destroy Babylon desire Scrape away the city lies, nature only masks the divine Purging dispair through a filter of syntax Bridge to Zion built with the words of the righteous But I will transcend I will exceed I will transcend I will suceed I will transcend I will exceed You will not deny me

This track is instrumental.
Can we live through this? Agents of the devil are you all Prostituting mundane revolution March on man/machine Fear should only be of yourself Fear should be of yourself You rape all human pleasure Harvest economic slavery Bleeding whores of greed As our montrosity turns on us Still I struggle to remain conscious Because you idea of right Has always been wrong Always been wrong Always been wrong Always will Enriched by disease We fuck this planet dry and my question to you is Can we live through this? Mother squelch your children Far too out of hand are they Stumbling and stuttering your purpose On this day of reckoning You will be the death of you all

In the shadow abyss Of the wilderness The call of a dear brother is but the sound Of a stranger Ancient fires will arise Power of the lifeless to stand once more Punishment for our sins Payment is due

You alone are abuse You alone are pain Extinction held within your fist All good things come to those who slaughter Bursting with laughter your anecdotes agonize I would shatter that grin Depression, the rust that binds this soul together Corrosive entropy Here you will not find solace beating savage madness into primative innocents It is the purity the broken question It is the morality the promise broken Serenity sanctified inside your microcosm You stench of vile irrelevance Shards of glass bleed bloody knuckles I would shatter that grin Well I want nothing more of humanity, I've finally Become this evil within Letting lose my inner beast as I grip your neck and twist Welcome to the opposition bastard Enjoy the validity of brutality Bestowed upon us in return As I grip your neck and twist

Handing the invitation over To the dark figure in the corner I stare at the glaze that forms over your eyes As the pain leaps from these lips It's all coming back to me now With everything I've become it's a wonder I'm still me My breath refuses to be caught Although I've tried to force this back I let the numbness win I return with a sieging vengeance Back in pour my starving habits Dousing this flame with anger as my eyse dig deep into your face Forget this time like your smile Lays broken at my feet Can't you see you never had a chance You never had a chance I don't stop I don't stop, I won't stop Hold still while all this passes I won't stop, I don't stop Be still my will is not my own Why can't I out run what I've been known to lose? Sticky sweet with sarcasm My mouth is sealed shut Yeah, don't you wish you could forget me now? You will never forget me now

I view deep in this reflection It's just the outside world looking in Even if I could escape is Is suffocation Cascading bursts of light Illuminating from the silence But I still wonder if pulling free is Is necessary What else could I do? I feed off of your cruelty Once again I torch this day It probably never existed I used to think I had a grasp That door closed years ago I predicted the armageddon I predicted the absolute My lack of insanity held me back I could have saved you all But why? The sheep retain their wish Swallowed Swallowed in Hell-fire Why? The sheep retain their wish Swallowed I don't listen to tomorrow I don't look beyond the overcast I won't see the forecast anymore I won't look beyond the overcast
