Lyrics

What fearsome beast awakes again to stalk this harrowed earth?
What thing beyond imagination, sloughing skin in timeless rebirth?
The dread of the new day, the threat of the last,
A fever dream breathing, the future aghast
The living lament of power misspent on history's profoundly shameful regrets
The brazen sycophants, the spineless drones emerge
To sway in craven veneration, drawn to its pure vacuous dirge
Somehow faith strains to nourish the garden that logic denies
In fealty to the madness that consumes the world and never truly dies
Against the wall, pushed to the ground, forced to a cell
Into a crate, into the flames, cast down to hell
A crumpled husk to feed the worms that feed the earth
That never cared, that could not stop the thing it grew
Tremble under the weight of the lurid contempt
For imagined slights against petty tyrants
And their tragic recompense
Against the wall, pushed to the ground, forced to a cell
Into a crate, into the flames, cast down to hell
A crumpled husk to feed the worms that feed the earth
That never cared, that could not stop the thing it grew
Joyous in conflict
Nourished by fear
The beat of an ancient drum
Legacies of human frailty
Carrion tragedy
Vultures of loss
A swarm for the sadness
Devours worlds in lucid horror
March of oppression finds gleeful embrace
Gluttonous masses
Gorge themselves on human failures
Drink the very marrow
From their bones
It comes again
Fresh chaos greets the dawn
You never see from where it comes
A defeated sun groans to its post
To weep away an endless day
Against the wall, pushed to the ground, forced to a cell
Into a crate, into the flames, cast down to hell
A crumpled husk to walk the earth
That dares not stop the things it grew
It comes again
It comes again
Mourn for the living
It comes again
It comes again
It comes again
Mourn for the living
It comes again
