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.
