They're coming for all of you and your kind.
Balcony table for two.
We'll watch the fight,
Or brandish your weapon Raise your right
Hand to the sky
And bear it's light
You were chosen son
Come see a place where our enemy's won
Who's to say this world
Won't end the same way?
Who's to say?
This vessel has become
Some sort of broken one,
And nothing I can see
Will guide me through
This violent task before me.
No strength to resist, no strength.
Wrenching me from this husk,
Instilling a new purpose.
To fight this scourge.
These stones have heard.
The weakening,
Then wakening,
This twist in my gut
That makes me sing,
"Why?"

Man-Sized Hail
03:47

Come and find me here,
Here all hid in the sand.
Low hanging stars
Fill the sky. In hand
My gun. Slung across
My back, a cross
Like burden. Frost
At my fingertips;
All is lost.
It's crushing my back,
And now I ask
Is this the time for a,
For a full-blown attack?
We can't run.
We'll be found.
Adversary carrier inbound!
Hailing our demise;
Daemon eyes.
Man sized hail
Fills the sky.
Let go!
Believe me
You'll thank me in the end.
I cannot sit here and watch you die alone friend.
Our lives severely changed
The minute those eyes open up.
The only hope
For our planet?
Thwart fire that fills the atmosphere.
Can't charge me to find my sanity.
What has become of this reality?

Things to Tell the Press
03:22

We already have
Boots on the ground and you say,
"Nobody fucking knows,
We'll see." We'll see?
My brother sent far away from me?
I've seen the way they infect us
reaching out with treacherous hands.
They steal the light through our eyes,
Banish us to distant lands.
Brandish your weapon hold it high,
Or see your demise in the mirror;
Your reflection is smoldering;
Burnt away, far too unclear.
I said that I'd look
You in the eyes
When you find your way home.
We'll see if I lied
When I said that
I would look you in the eyes
So even if you don't die
I don't know,
"Nobody fucking knows.
We'll see?" We'll see?
My brother sent away from me!
I'll bury you if I have to.
Expect me to shed a tear.
If I have to keep your casket closed
Nothing else I could think I fear
But to run away from ruination
Kind that sucks your soul
Through your eyes.
Kind that swallows you whole,
Leaves you, petrified.
I don't really wanna watch you
Lose your head, or worse
Watch you lose your mind
I'm sure you feel the lash of deaths
Breath on your neck;
Keep it in check.

I Am the Mist
03:59

Swarm in darkness
Swarm of shadow,
Foulness, fatal, fundamentally, flawed.
Molten metal, rock and bone and blood.
I am the mist,
Dimensional rift,
Empty of forgiveness.
Callous witness;
Cold as death itself.
God will bow away unscathed.
Turbulent decay.
Pitch, fire and full of ash.
Domesticated to the depths
That are the end I am.
Into the nothing,
Where I seem to stand.
Careening further;
Faster to oblivion
Into the depths
That are the end I am.
I am!
I am!
I am the mist!
I am the mist!
Cavernous tectonic shift
Oh! Find it impossible
To believe in what you see.
I am not me.
Another fate?
Another fate, have faith,
You'll find there is no other way.
I've come without delay.
I am The End; I can see inside
Your lives. Your souls in The End become mine.
Remorseless, come for my devious prize
Left without vessels, tear out your vassal eyes.
Realize:
Catastrophic implication.
Capsize:
Full scale annihilation.
Vaporize:
You won't believe the size
Of nothing. Criticize;
It's all lies.
It's all lies.
Callous witness;
Empty of forgiveness.
Your god will bow away... Unscathed.
Turbulent decay...
