Never a Night So Dark
Disfigured corpse of empire Sweet sustenance for the soul Fire that burns inside us churns Devouring infrastructure whole Complicit in machinery Fueling our own nightmare Feeding blood and sweat and tears To the undead beast Burn down every institution Under empire And every apologist For its oppressive existence The venomous gift Of civilization Perennial grift And ultimate prison The yawning abyss Fills not with life spirit But with the dead things (Our untimely demise) Burn down every institution Under empire And every apologist For its oppressive existence

They kill for progress Concrete confines Commerce prison Chains of dystopia All they’ve built Plastic burial They rush headlong Toward their chains No stopping this Ruination As ruling class tentacles Strip our earth Burning landscape Devoid of life Barren desert desolate The undead beast It’s mouth is dripping With blood As the earth is devoured The fallacy of progress Carries on as it snuffs out life The unbound rage In the eyes of the dispossessed There’s nowhere to hide From this ruination As ruling class tentacles Strip our earth Burning landscape Devoid of life Barren desert desolate Can we find joy In our despair In the fight we rejoice Desperate pleasure of retaliation Run towards your chains And suffer Traitorous wretch

Apocalyptic tumults Of flood and fire Climate chaos manifest Extraction’s hellish conclusion Mass death pervades Disease harvests the hungry Human carrion in mold stench and rot Food source scarcity Control and conquer Against the natural world Their war persists This is their design This is their desire This is their design This is their desire And for this they’ll pay In blood

Withered rope you hang what's Empty can't remain to put it simply In time cry the hollow words To sing with false disguise Smothered hope fly from sorrow For a new divine tomorrow I just don't want to know anymore Life shifts up and down Everybody knows it's wrong Why don't you care? Now do it seem fair? It's not in the rhyme or reason So it goes with every season crawl to Top fall through bottom First hand love is really rotten Slice of life find what's plenty Inch towards a sanctuary Light with me inside the womb I know everyone everybody knows it's me It's my voice, my voice cries out Obscenity, sightless eye regard My past sometimes it should I just don't want to know anymore
