Uada
Cult of a Dying Sun
1. The Purging Fire
Ignite the fire of all creation
cauterize the loins from which it bears
praise the birth of disintegration
the decaying of our embers flare
Into the pits where we must fall
the trying fires will consume us all
confined, convicted, condemned to burn
radiant be the path of no return
Our own temple will turn to ash
supernova searing the souls of man
sudden strikes with light & flash
smoldering stone walls now crumble like sand
Into the pits where we must fall
the trying fires will consume us all
confined, convicted, condemned to burn
radiant be the path of no return
We are but ashes in the earn
accommodating the gift of fire
for no boulder will go unturned
scorched earth funeral pyre
Let us kindle those who observe
lighting up the next of flesh
blistering down to our last nerve
bidding farewell in its final caress
2. Snakes & Vultures
Snakes, the great deceivers,
governing the minds of man
True falsifiers, coiling
& constricting their master plan
Leeches, cheats & liars
infecting the deepest drinking pools
Pure poison in the mire
where we squirm like worms and defenseless fools.
Snakes and vultures
...you are…
fucking snakes and vultures
...you are…
Vultures, the sinister soars
with talons like knives in your back
Blood feeders, winged death dealers
descending a disguised aerial attack
Ravenous are the regal ravens
like opportunistic thieves picking at your bones
Preying solely upon the weak
raptors commanding carrion thrones
Snakes and vultures
...you are…
fucking snakes and vultures
...you are…
Farewell dreams of liberty
none more enslaved
than those who believe they’re free
Forsaken thoughts of prosperity
none more defeated
than those obsolete
Give way the logic of all rationality
none more deprived than
those blinded by greed
Incarcerated within world slavery
none more alive
than we who bleed
Snakes and vultures
...you are…
fucking snakes and vultures
...you are…
3. Cult of a Dying Sun
Confined in hopeless valleys
stricken with vast veil of shadow
no light will reach beyond these mountains
there's more comfort to be found among gallows
We're lost within the pitch of gloom
as night-tide piles the dead ashore
the breathless laugh in the face of dreams
and the subsisting smirk midst scaling banks of gore
Decomposing tower
self-generating cadaverous Gate to Abaddon
Lining lungs with azure plage
all will succumb to putrefaction
And we crawl higher... over the dying
without remorse, for life we're prying
and we push forward... we march on
into nothing... where we belong
4. The Wanderer
5. Blood Sand Ash
Supreme scarlet splendor
sky-swept across astral planes
Ancient illustrated lifeforms
are the stellar constellations within our veins
Behold galaxies of collapsed matter
the great vacuum of buried truth
Witnessing the former shades shatter
while waiting for the breaking of misinformed youth
Orbiting the ego sun
barren oasis of the soul
Star-fall; the downward one
generating outright black hole
Whirlwinds fuel the illusions of importance
sandstorms guiding back the blind
Dying are opportunities for self-contortion
horses high will ride enshrined
Temptations are the fires that burn the hands
while seeking fountains to quench one's thirst
And yet we bathe in the lava rivers of Vulcan
in hopes that a lost god will grant us rebirth
Expand the mind well beyond Yesteryear
Breathe every breath until the very last
Bronze are the caskets of all regret and fear
For all we are is blood, sand, ash
6. Sphere (Imprisonment)
Circular tomb
the mind, body & soul
Framed in flash
elevating beyond control
Suspended in animation
timeless, motionless walls
Celestial divination
echoing throughout our vacant halls
We are of these stars
long dead before we're seen
Enslaved before our start
bound in our illusions & dreams
Madness overtake my mind
let beat my heart to the cadence of the wind
For what else is there left to find
when we are born imprisoned from within?
7. Mirrors
Oh great mirror, ye who sees through me
Parallel dimension, nebula of symmetry
Shatter my reflection, distort the memories
Oh great mirror, ye who sees through me
Lingering behind the pane
replicating the here & now
Empathy beyond the sane
vanishing the optic shroud
Deeper down into the maze
waiting there the archetype
Entranced in paradigm gaze
dimmer becomes the inner light
Oh great mirror, ye who sees through me
Parallel dimension, nebula of symmetry
Shatter my reflection, distort the memories
Oh great mirror, ye who sees through me
Fading complexion
negating direction
questioning recollection
telepathic projection
Oh great mirror, ye who sees through me
Parallel dimension, nebula of symmetry
Shatter my reflection, distort the memories
Oh great mirror, ye who sees through me
Diagnostic dissection
psychiatric objection
schizophrenic subjection
stigmatic infection
...ye who sees through me...
