Scattered we stand
But together we scream
Severed people, we ain't free
Scattered we stand
But together we scream
Severed people, we were always meant to be
Yeah, scattered we stand but together we scream
our blood runs the same and that blood runs deep
Hunt your hubris
Gather your guilty little dreams
Worship the sun
And spill your precious potent seed
Think of your loved ones
Mock the others ever growing needs
A bird knows her brood
But the flock; she would never think to feed
Scattered we stand
But together we scream
Severed people, we were always meant to be

THE LOST

Life came down like a pouring rain
On a sunny day afternoon
And as the lights went out
there was nothing left to say
And there was nothing else left to do
Your fire and snow
Feared in heaven and down below
You got my bright skin burning
Like the king of the dead
And iv been living in the afterglow
You took my soul then left
I can't believe you took my hand then cast me down
whispered your promises into my ear
stole my heart and locked it places you couldn't hear
Life came crumbling down
And with a broken crown
My life came crumbling down
Yeah my life came crumbling down
I drink the pain away
and stumble all over the town
But I ain't no ruinous clown
that ain't the path to my renown
So I reject my burial mound
cuz when my time is right
I wont be buried down in the ground
Think fast through the pouring rain
As if now every drop speaks to you
Cuz ain't nobody got the time to ever hear me whine
And recollect the endless puzzle of you
Of how your fire and snow...
feared in heaven and down below
you got my brightskin burning like the king of the dead
and iv been livin'
iv been livin' in the afterglow
You took my soul then left
i can't believe you took my hand then cast me down
whispered your promises into my ear
stole my heart and locked it places you couldn't hear
But I'll avoid it an any cost
I'm not ready to join the lost

THINNING OF THE VEIL

Hail to Peter McArthur! The King of cabin cold
Where the lights glowed dim
and the blood ran thin
and the mold growth took its toll
Sararas ash leaped from the past
above the town on the wind it blew
and on the ashes tongue an ember had flung
into the lungs of me and you
and everyone was dancing there
in the middle of the bloodpale moon
and everyone would still be dancing there
if it weren't for me and you
I remember where I was at the thinning of the veil
spoke to me, those ghouls and goblins standing there, staring at me
they said 'son you'll never ever find the one you claim to be, while rotting away in this wretched world of man and grief, sitting alone inside your keep'
(alone inside your keep)
We take our bug infested moon shine
into to the graveyard we will go
Where we will chant old spells
And raise all hell
Until the ghosts are sure to show
All of the curses
all of the verses
Il madly scrawl inside my journal
So I can make those songs for all to sing along
About the graves that stand eternal
Those songs about the ghouls
Those anthems from Kadath
They raised me from a boy into a man
Who refused the mass
I'll burn all the holy texts
that come before my eyes
for there's no God in the gospel
only half told truths and lies
and everyone was dancing there
in the middle of the afternoon
and everyone would still be dancing there
if it weren't for me and you
I remember where I was at the thinning of the veil
spoke to me, those ghouls and goblins standing there, staring at me
they said 'son you'll never ever find the one you claim to be, while rotting away in this wretched world of man and grief, sitting alone inside your keep'
(alone inside your keep)
I'll take you beyond the grave
and bring you back again
you'll stink of death rot, soil and pain
but be the furthest thing from dead
I remember where I was at the thinning of the veil
spoke to me, those ghouls and goblins standing there, staring at me
they said 'son you'll never ever find the one you claim to be, while rotting away in this wretched world of man and grief, sitting alone inside your keep'
(alone inside your keep)

FADING FOR YOU

They say the devil, he lives inside
the ones of us who ain't so secure
I think that maybe cus' the rent ain't high
A place where he can stay for cheap
while all the others lie asleep in
a quiet little dreamland
A place I want to be
its where I'll never belong
Its just the way of the world that I don't get to keep my head
I think my brain might burst from the way
you keep me tethered to this ball and chain named shame
you've got me feeling like a fading flame
you keep my wrapped around your finger
know just how long to linger
before you fuck off again
And I continue my search for a puplsating vein
but I think the blood stopped pumping through my sleeping heart
the day I started craving more you
just fading for you
Just fading for you
So carry on
I was wrong
I just can't break the cycle
You see you're stuck in your ways and I pray every day
but I just can't seem to keep the devil away
and to stay would be the end of me
chadin' a disaster trying to move past her
but in the twinkle of the traffic lights I only ever wish to go faster
Faster now
I think my brain might burst from the way
you keep me tethered to this ball and chain named shame
you've got me feeling like a fading flame
you keep my wrapped around your finger
know just how long to linger
before you fuck off again
And I continue my search for a puplsating vein
but I think the blood stopped pumping through my sleeping heart
the day I started craving more you
just fading for you
