Le Concept Album

Age of Reptiles

Fern bank of safety, Hide from the sun
The air, fills with ash, a suffocating lapse
Black Sky, a diamond wake, traverse the smoke he breathes

The Weight of Self, no air left to breathe
Try to hide, no shelter from the sun
An ecosystem, soon to collapse, No Forest, No Reprieve
The dust cakes my scales, A silent sleep in Heat

Nowhere left to run, A silent planet, Dead on the whole
A dawn of mammals comes to pass
Fields of barren soot, The glacier will carve your path
The light so hard to see
White Hands expose my skull, A time of man to come
Whole, Worlds, Tread on Unknowingly
Whole, Lives, excavated futilely
Breathe life, inside of me
Live again, no forest to hide me

A path through the Sun

 

Antler

The Clash and Scatter
A Broken Herd
A Pale Example
Crushed Under Hoof

The Winter's Fury
The gust, rip and Cut
the rocks below
Break all the Bones

Filled with splinters
the body hemorrhages
The Hunters descend
collect their prize

 

Glacial

Smothering cold winds, rape my skin
tearing away what they missed
Scarred and tanned hide, torn to bits
always the martyr and never the saved

The walls are cold and I knew that there would be, no light
there's something wrapped around my throat, it strangles a voice

He feels it pressing down, he's dead, again
he can't feel her hand, he's lost and numb

Another wrist in gold, she saw him die
this time, there was no cry, she was the moon

So distant and yet so visible
the shore carried him to sink to her
she swallowed him, fathoms deep, in her body

Light refracts, through his corpse
a dead prism of ice and salt
seeing through the glaciers glass, I see the light

 

Ice Artery

Snow, Coagulated Rain
Drain ditch of paper, an inkwell of soil
Take broken steps, towards the cliff
can't help but feel you, all around me, draining

Preserved in my own skin, dead to you
deafening me, a voice soft as snowfall
tongue sharp, obsidian, a black scalpel

Compel me, repel her, away, away
She can't keep something, it's mine
Sand Passes, between my fingers, silt, across my belly
Compact molecules, crush, build

Osteoblast of rock, bones of a seashore
Spine, of a continent
Vertebrae, ligament of granite

 

Calf

Scared infant, lost its way
can't find air, to breathe
No holes in the ice, Onslaught of asphyxia

Falling, behind mother
lost to the sea, blood in water
Breaking ribs, a gauntlet of teeth, the orcas

Bust through the ice, to see, the sun
Can't emerge from, can't breathe
The heart is gone, the water full
The ocean black with waves of flesh
No mother left, to save the calf
All alone, he succumbs to cold

A wheel, the hand, a whirl of rays
A Child, is borne to land, the soul that strays
a desert of the mind, feathered head
Held to the god, tribal welcome
Ascend to Human Existence

 

Great Reef

Clamor for the sand, the tide is coming
Hide in the drop-offs, warm pool of glass
Left naked in her light, the sandbar's sinking

Elapse in breathing, struggle to stay awake
There's no end, to profuse bleeding, sharks are on the way
I can, feel her, right above the surface
Great wave, of mouths, serrated and daunting

The tide runs red with what's left, after the storm
and suddenly, the sun, froze solid, in the sky
The sharks, suffocate, gills frozen shut
Nitrogen, star, sinking in my depth
Sinking into my skin, freeze me solid.

 

Fertile

Silver light, drawing me across the sky
A sun of ice, dragging me onto her surface
Bright, refraction, her eyes, white-blue prisms

I become her life, a final core purpose
To garden her body, to sow my seed
Her backbone, it shudders, a hand of warm water
total, remission, flooding with need

I've turned her to oceans, dive into caves of jade
the turquoise sea of birth
Soft breaths are forbade
the waters recede, continents rise and unearth

I become her nature, she becomes my star
the new moon encircles, never drifting too far
I've Become her nature, she becomes my star

 

 

Dwarf Star

Acrid Soil, into your wastes
frigid sediment, broken and shattered
towering obelisk, survey the sphere
Surrounded by visceral stone

The fire in the sky, encroaches upon my skin
Pale flesh blisters, rips to tendon and sinew
Pulsating, heat wave, forest of petrified wood
Eons, of Silence, broken by astral noise

Surveying the landscape, storm of sand
Quarts in the bloodstream, shrivel and dry
A field of orchids grow, from your body
Pollen of discipline, seed of faith

Lay down, to finally face the sun
in dissonant light I bathe, no longer sleeping
I wake from this vision
Brush forth to continents, filled with ice

Acrid soil, overgrown cities
Frigid sediment, pillar of roots
Towering obelisk, grants the earth its shade
Surrounded by haunting trees, we dig mass graves

The vacuum takes our body, corpses in a ziggurat of stars
