And When the Sky Was Opened

Nothing at all like the extravagant passing so valuable to them so invaluable to all So it ends Heart of oak and lead Distant I see it my heart longs for it So it ends No replacement for its shroud So it ends and so it begins And now the storms blast Shredding wooden masts tyrannical deserts of times past And now the storms pass monstrous waving flags freezing what little they had So it ends It’s a damned life With no I and no other who hears the sound? Nothing at all like the extravagant passing so valuable to them so invaluable to all So it ends But worry not Because so it ends and so it begins The richness of self and the emptiness of being when the sky was opened and solitude reigned Total paranoia is just total awareness Total disgrace in its mortal sternness And so it begins, the final stand of man. Our ultimate judgement.

No better companion Than no companion at all For solitude is the richness of self No better monotony Than fear itself For gravitas will sink in on itself For whoever is delighted in solitude is either a beast or a god And whoever isolates their world is either in pain or beyond Ride into the sunset for no one goes there anymore What is left there for me if all of you are gone? As the ground cracks in thirsty revolt and the flora dies under injustice, gone Lay with me sweet solitude I will keep you company Lay with me let our hope prevail Who would have thought that murdering them all would feel so alone? [Solo: Phil Tougas] Had I not known that I was dead already I would have mourned my loss of life. Now we disappear, well, what must we think of it? From the sky we came, now we may go back again.

Autumn wind of eve, blow away the clouds that mass over the moon's pure light and the mist that clouds our mind Do thou sweep away as well. Now we disappear, well, what must we think of it? From the sky we came. Now we may go back again. Do thou sweep away as well. Now we disappear, What we must think of it? From the sky we came. Had I not known that I was dead I would have mourned my loss of life. Year in year out - all but a dream. Both Heaven and Hell are left behind. I stand in the moonlit dawn, free from clouds of attachment. Year in year out - all but a dream. Both Heaven and Hell are left behind. I stand in the moonlit dawn, free from clouds of attachment. Autumn wind of eve, blow away the clouds that mass over the moon's pure light and the mist that clouds our mind.

Eternal night, the soul of man Begging for your brightness But none will bow to your whims Followed by all, revered by none Everything ours, not one yours From the horizon to the omega You are removed from our grave We remove you, unwanted one Over your grave we lay our swords and we lay with beasts over your grave Desecrating your desire Desiring your desecration Self-sustaining plague of nature that overwhelms the mind Profit feeding, endless greed and weakness fed the fear Desecrating your desire Desiring your desecration This cursed stranglehold encircles the man who made the world wild Fire, explosions in the sky powering the impulse of mankind We’ve made the world into the underworld, We destroy as we desire To keep up the individuals To extend our madness [Solo: Phil Tougas] Nothing at all like the extravagant passing so valuable to them so invaluable to all Distant I see it my heart longs for it The spot to end this unending blight But your strength surpassed ours Your will destroyed ours When the ground swallowed us and when the sky was opened.

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Hidden, the face of man Oh sole darkness, no replacement for your shroud The world bows down to your desire While you went alone: All men, steers, and wild brutes Whatever lays on earth, crawling upon your feet Whatever flies high, falling across the creek You settle each man in his spot, You remove the unwanted Everybody has his nourishment, and his time of life is figured. Their tongues are discrete in discourse When the ground swallowed us and when the sky was opened When your touch wrecked havoc on every soul, frozen You make the world into the underworld, You bring forward as you desire To keep up the individuals To extend your madness When the ground swallowed us and when the sky was opened When your touch wrecked havoc on every soul, frozen You make the world into the underworld, You bring forward as you desire To keep up the individuals To extend your madness Whatever lays on earth, crawling upon your feet Whatever flies high, falling across the creek [Solo: Jason Suecof] To the extent that you made us for yourself The master of every one of them The master of every place in here The Aleph of life, extraordinary in death Whatever lays on earth, crawling upon your feet Whatever flies high, falling across the creek You settle each man in his spot, You remove the unwanted Everybody has his nourishment, and his time of life is figured. Their tongues are discrete in discourse You make the world into the underworld, You bring forward as you desire To keep up the individuals To extend your madness [Solo: Phil Tougas] You remove the unwanted Hidden, the face of man Oh sole darkness, no replacement for your shroud The world bows down to your desire While you went alone: All men, steers, and wild brutes

As I open them up their innards spill But something is different This time I'm right These empty vessels are dissimilar As I suspected from time to time I'm being chased by imposters I've been called "delusional" but it is them who are blind They can not see What really lives inside Loved ones replaced for identical maniacs Known ones replaced by deviant miscreants They are getting numerous must act quick A detailed surgery might just do the trick Replace the brain It's been compromised Devour it whole Just to be safe Now the stalked becomes the stalker [Solo: Mike Poggione] Total paranoia is just total awareness Hence they said: ‘When we are gone, really we pass on not, since we will finally breathe’ [Solo: Thomas Luijken]

The front line is the spot where one toasts the celestial alcohol in war, where our honorable stares are stained red where the barrels yell Where numerous painful memories Downpour from adornments Where rulers are crushed Where dawns the day There is no disgrace like death in war All for nothing Nothing at all like the extravagant passing All for nothing so valuable to them All for nothing so invaluable to all Distant I see it my heart longs for it The spot to end this unimportant pain Hence they said: ‘When we are gone, really we pass on not, since we will finally breathe’ This will make us content The front line is the spot where one toasts the celestial alcohol in war, where our honorable stares are stained red where the barrels yell [Solo: Tyler McDaniel] Where numerous painful memories Downpour from adornments Where rulers are crushed All for nothing
