O' death, where is thy sting?
O' hell, where is thy victory?
Who am I now that my soul has withdrawn and left me to die?
Was I worth the time that I spent?
Was I worth the air that I breathed?
Was I worth the pain that I caused?
Was I worth the blood of your son?
Consumed in isolation.
I am a single grain of sand poured out of the cracks of the shattered hourglass,
Tossed into the lifeless ocean on the desert's broken back,
Consumed by the slack jaws of time, and crushed by the blazing sun.
Gaze upon my frail collapse, for behold, I am undone.
Who am I now that my soul has withdrawn and left me to die?
I am the dust you breath in.
Recycle me in your lungs.
I am the dirt beneath your feet.
I am in decay.
All we are is dust in the wind,
Returning to the dust we birthed within.
I welcome the worms into my flesh.
Feast on my memories.
Eat the dirt that builds my chest.
For all we are is batteries.
The beauty of life and the joy that it contains, stripped away,
Finally revealed, the truth of who I am and what I’ve made.
Pieces of a puzzle half destroyed, a statue of shattered stone.
A flash before blind eyes, a body elevated on broken bones.
Is this all we are?
A meal to fill the stomach of a starving earth?
She will destroy our bodies with her many mouths,
And digest us in her lifeless core.
But she will never...
No she will never be satisfied.
We are born dead and our greatness was always a lie.
We are born dead and we are never truly alive.

Track Two - The Family Tomb
Fathers, Mothers, Sons, and Daughters,
Heed my warning, you're marching to a slaughter.
How can your body continue to live when there’s no blood within your veins?
When there's no heart in your chest and there’s no chest to guard what’s left of your heart?
You're falling apart.
Disconnected, disregarded, disassembled, dismembered.
You're falling apart.
Piece by piece by broken peace.
How can we see where to go without our eyes?
We are the blind leading the blind.
How can we speak of love without our lungs?
We are the dead raising the dead.
There is only chaos in this house.
There are only sinners in this church.
I can see the hands ripping apart the skin,
Tearing themselves limb from limb.
I see the feet running away in retreat,
Falling apart in defeat.
I feel the bones grind the skull into dust,
And leave the brain exposed to combust.
I see the teeth eat the stomach with hate,
But body I beg of you it's not too late.
We need a medic, we need surgery,
To stitch us back together and keep our heart beating.
Dear orphan where’s your family?
Dear Christians where’s your unity?
There is only chaos in this house.
There are only sinners in this church.
There is only death.
In this tomb there is only death.
I can count the bodies in the hall.
In this church there is only hate.
I can count the crosses on the wall.

Lyrics for Zedis Lapedis
When you open your mouth, nothing comes out alive.
You praise God then stab him in the back with your tongue.
Your teeth are headstones marking a desolate grave.
Filth and blasphemy pulse within your lungs.
If your tongue refuses to speak the truth,
Then shut your mouth, or rip it out from your throat.
Your vulgarity is empty and meaningless, & the same goes for the void in your chest.
You have the power to give the dying life, but you only give them pain.
There is poison in your wells,
And cobras coiled in your mouths
You spit venom where you dwell,
Watching as your brothers drown.
Where is your love, where is your peace?
Why do you spread & breed so much hate?
We were meant to stop this from happening.
Our body is ripping limb from limb.
"What has happened to my family?
Where has your love gone, where is your unity?
When I come down to see your garden grow,
Will there be a harvest? Or will there be starvation?
When you stand before me to present every word you said,
Will there be rejoicing, or will there be regret?"
Don't you dare say I didn't warn you,
When you hear the last trumpet.
You will reap exactly what you sew,
and feed on what you grow.
God, curse us with truth.
Drown our hate with love.
