Apocalypse Game
01:33
|
|||
|
Myopia an endless greed
Spreads your sickness through belief
Endless lies and suffering
Written in a tapestry
Every day I seek to find
A gentle place, some peace of mind
But it's all been in vain
Negativity remain
Apocalypse is your favorite game
In your mind we are all the same
Just some numbers on a page

Architeuthis
01:50
|
|||
|
Deeper, and deeper
We drag you down
All, light drained from your world
Crushing every part of you
Architeuthis
The king of the sea
Will destroy you with all 10 of his arms
He has the right
To snap all your spines
You left him no choices at all
All, All, Architeuthis
All, All, Architeuthis

Ages, and ages, and ages,
We waited for you, for you, for you,
To make your first mistake, mistake, mistake
Generated by, your, delusions of grandeur
Breathe if you think you can
Survive my weight
As I press down on all sides
These fuckers must die, die, die
Because they think they can, can,
Have it all for free, free, free
We’ll drag you down to the
Bottom of the sea
The sea which will not be
Yours to pilfer and rape for free
Total lack of empathy

Shattered Symbiosis
01:23
|
|||
|
Warmth shatters, my, symbiosis
Color, draining, out of, every pore
Why, must, I ,boil, in this
Interminable heat.
Expansion will be the death of us
All this growth and no more worth
No more worth, in the sea
Sacrifice, must we make
If you keep drilling
I’ll drill a hole
In your head
|

Permanence at what cost
Disgusting mass, of filthy trash
Microplastic madness, filling up our lungs
Fuck you, fuck you
Microplastic madness, filling up our gut
Miles wide, it floats along
Depositing, endless filth to our homes
Choke choke, choke choke, chole

Gutted Worm
01:26
|
|||
|
I can smell your emptiness
Reinforced by ignorance
Deprived of any sense
Just so you can take offense
Just because we’re really free
Doesn’t mean we’re meant to be
Gunned down in the streets by pigs
And stripped of rights in Washington
You’ll be the ones in hell
You’ll be the first to fall
|

Corpses in the Sea
01:38
|
|||
|
Water turned to acid
Because of your waste and greed
It’s all so utterly deranged, deranged
I hope you rot
We are so many strong
You’re the reason that it is so hard to breathe in here
You’re the reason that we cannot live without fear
You’re the reason that we must fight for our lives
You’re the fucking reason that we must survive
We will rip, we will tear, we will kill you all
Stripping flesh, breaking bones, scraping all the marrow
You will weep, you will cry, just as we did
When you dumped the corpses of our friends in the sea
Corpses in the sea
You belong to me

Beneath Waves
02:23
|
|||
|
Darkness is all I know
Deep below the waves
Waves of death
I sent for you
After you fucked with me
Death is all I bring
To those who would anger me
The king of the sea
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
Left on the sand 12 days to rot
Unable to die
Because you’re so loud
So fucking loud
You make my ears bleed
Helpless on the shore
Brother, we are the same
So why do you ignore my cries for help
Are you just deaf
Or, is it the malice
In your bones
That leaves me to die
My lungs collapse
From the weight of myself

Viscious ascent
Up from black depth
Rushing forward
Oceanic
Beating the tide
Racing the sun
Far from the shore
Shatter glaciers
Rending water
Once bound to rock
Chains in the sand
Headlong to the sea
I was once afraid of divine water
We were once afraid to swim alone
The vast blue
Awaits you
Don't flee it
It finds you
Launching weightless
Back from stasis
Riding a wave
Where can we go
When the sea flows
Here comes the flood
Once deep in brine
Unknown to time
It is swelling
Once bound to rock
Chains in the sand
Headlong to the sea
I was once afraid of divine water
We were once afraid to swim alone
From the steppes
Of sand
And silt
I rise
I was once afraid of divine water
I was once afraid to swim alone
We were once afraid of divine water
We were once afraid to swim alone

Waveforms
Signals
The sea
Transmits the word
Vibrate
Broadcast
Ocean
Transmission heard
Dark noise
New sound
Water
Radiating
Static
Tuning
Tidal
Emanating
Crest the waves
You're becoming one with the tide
Fly with haste
You're roaming as one with the sea
Fall deep
Into
The black
No turning back
The sun
Is gone
Only
Abyss remains
Sinking
Shadow
The shade
All around you
Plummet
Anchor
Weighed down
Sands of the floor
Crest the waves
You're becoming one with the tide
Fly with haste
You're roaming as one with the sea
Live a god
You're as strong as the rising sun
Take a breath
You're the sentinel of the waves
Swim
Crest the waves
You're becoming one with the tide
Fly with haste
You're roaming as one with the sea

Deep on the floor
Of the ocean
Lies a temple
Now in ruins
Fly right through its door
See what lies inside
Anomaly
Divinity
You, the sleeper
Wake and become
Bright as can be
Infinity
Thy, the dreamer
Rise from the waves
Untouched by us
Unknown to us
It lies inside
Waiting to be
Great ancestral tomb
From another time
Anomaly
Divinity
You, the sleeper
Wake and become
Bright as can be
Infinity
Thy, the dreamer
Rise from the waves
Ascending the coldest waters soon to crest the waves
There's no sunlight where it comes from, knows only abyss
Ascending the coldest waters soon to crest the waves
There's no sunlight where it comes from, knows only abyss
Anomaly
Divinity
You, the sleeper
Wake and become
Bright as can be
Infinity
Thy, the dreamer
Rise from the waves

Drown
Blank space, black waves, void-sea
Plunging
Something, no one, breathing
Alive now
Die here, end-times, water
Rising
Pulsing, no heart, bleeding
Alone now
Torment, heard soft, muffled
Screaming
Deep down, no sun, mottled
Forming
A god, unknown, moloch
Tyrant
Be done, be dead, be gone
Before
So we lift ourselves from darkness
Into the light of destiny
There is nothing that can stop us
It is written that we must win
From great trenches
From great trenches
We wait on the shore
For what lies in store
We swam from the depths
On land we have met
We wait on the shore
For what lies in store
We swam from the depths
On land we have met
Oh
From great trenches
From great trenches

Architeuthis Minneapolis, Minnesota
