Black Blood

As blood pours from the scars in the earth
The Thieves spew their lies in verse
As they lead their kin to destruction
Stack your ill-gotten gains high
build a wall and fortify
So you no longer have to
look your victims in the eye
Ten thousand teeth rise up from below
Finned vengeance casts its shadow
They're coming for what you stole
The black blood guides their way
As you scramble back in your hole
Was this not the destruction you craved?
[guitar solo]
Crown yourself in molten gold
History's yours to shape and mold
For if you write it yourself
Lies will become the truth
As the poor burn around you
Your wall protects you
As they finally turn their gaze to you
Ten thousand teeth rise up from below
Finned vengeance casts its shadow
They're coming for what you stole
Black blood guides their way
As you scramble back in your hole
Was this not the destruction you craved?
They're coming
They're coming
They're coming

I Promise

Where your fathers walked
And your mothers crawled
I could fly above but I will choose to walk
Because I am a fucking coward who cannot talk
I know they’re dicks
But I cannot fix
The pain you’ve felt or the head it’s hurt
So I will try to breathe and wear a longer shirt
I was never here
So do not fear
I’ll be perfect I swear
You can walk away
Come back some other day
And your partner will still be here
I’ll be good
I promise
It’s always “her”
Never “him” or “them”
We’re not human and we never were
We are just a source of pain and hurt
Shit what’s that?
Uh, “men are trash”
There I said it, so will you take me now?
You’re so progressive go and take a bow
He was never here
So do not fear
I’ll be perfect I swear
You can walk away
Come back some other day
And your role model will still be here
I’ll be good
I promise
I worry
That I’m making a mistake
That I’m trying to both have and eat my cake
Yeah it’s hard
When everyone sees you as a threat
And when their trust you have to get
After they took that liar’s side
Because she’s a girl
And I’m not
And I never will be
Not a dot
Of an iota
Of femininity in here
How am I supposed to see myself if no one else does?

Úr fold rís,
Útburðurinn,
Áformin,
Áður engin,
Gríp úr lofti,
Græti hal,
Græði ekkert,
Gæska við feigðina ólgar um minn skrokk
Sálu gef,
Skrápur fylgir,
Aungvin bein,
Auðga jörðu,
Fénu rænt,
Ferjumanni,
Skuld frestað,
Senn mun gjald aftur goldið margsinnis
Og sjá
Á níunda mánuði þar var risin aftur
Grábölvuð syndin
Er kæfði vonarglætu
Og svolgraði í sig skuggum guma
Engin var aflausn
Engin var björg
Nema sú er fætur veittu
Hafin af mér, líf og æra,
Hamskiptin býð,
Lygarnar sem af sig stæra,
Leysi sem lýð
Ei skal hræðast,
Eitrinu bylt,
Lát oss ræðast,
Leikum skylt
Fetaðu í minn veg
Ger upp eigin hug
Sjáðu það sem hulið er
_______________________
From the earth rises,
One that was left for dead,
A purpose,
None before,
Grabbed from thin air,
Bringing man to tears,
Nothing gained,
A kindness to the decay courses through my carcass
I give my soul,
Sharkhide accompanies,
Not a single bone,
Enriches the dirt,
A fee plundered,
Of the ferryman,
A debt postponed,
Soon a price will be paid many times over
Lo and behold,
In the ninth month, there was risen again,
The sin, twice damned,
That smothered the glimmer of hope
And gorged itself on the shadows of men,
None was the absolution,
None was the deliverance,
Save that granted by one’s legs
Stolen from me, life and dignity,
I offer metamorphosis,
The lies which they hold proudly,
I untie like the people
It is not to be feared,
The venom turned,
Let us speak,
Let us play the same
Walk my path
Make up your own mind
See that which is cloaked

Skies will burn
Crash and fall, through it all
Lost at every turn
Adrift in the void
Through the purples of the mind
Lightning streaks and sears
Through the ground beneath our feet and bones
Coiling Serpent
On the hunt for its next prey
Your eyes behold a devil so vile
But I see true through your lies
I see her a soul so gold her horns so bold
You’ve deceived yourself alone
In the cold, unforgiving cold
Deprive yourself of all love, love, love.
Raining up like tears
Into e-eyes, through flesh
Puddles in the sky betray your lies
Reflect, Unveil, Not Men
But beasts of greed masquerading as u-us
My bones grin as I know I’m right
Stuck chained to this labyrinth
Forced to observe all of these
Umbral Eyes hunger for gold, Umbral eyes hunger for gold
They eat the hoarded wealth and those that would vault it for themselves
In squalid death, all the eldritch maws that I see
All their hunger hunger hunger hunger hunger hunger hunger hunger hunger hunger hunger
Vindicates my corpse
Illustrate first-hand
Time waits not so why wait for time?
Twilight, the weight of my dreams hold me down
So why can I now fly?
The gold tendrils from the sky
Purple rests inside
Driving straight into the red in the end, stuck in hellish agonising meanings
Leave, hit the bricks, and just let those bridges burn burn burn burn

the body is mutable
reject the flesh that is given to you
you hear it, right? you feel it, right?
look at them all, pathetic creatures of meat and bone
not like you
your vessel is one of your own creation
if you can create a body, a life, better than the one you were given
does that make you god?
