Armageddon’s easy if you want it
Just have to reach out and grab it
Are you immune to the wreckage
Or does the damage define?
Light your path with burning bridges
Warm your hands over smoldering ash
Can’t see past the blast radius
Dead center of a smoking crater
A sullen sneer
Your battlecry
Joyous cynic on
The last of your psychic lines
In a rush to civilize
Forgot where you’re from
Only lantern you hold
Is the need to affirm
Chase the snows of Kilimanjaro
To kill your loneliness
Washed out of the ministry
So you go and hide in the choir
Entertaining the troops
With the sounds of enemy guns
Echoing off the walls of your home
On the last living mountain
(repeat chorus)
Summon, the strength
Grant me, relief
No one, gets out alive
Survive, out of spite
You think refusal is a strategy

SANCTUARY LAMP
There's a darkness
At the edge of your mind
Shadow of gloom and despair
Can you keep the dusk from taking you
Return the eulogists' stare
She's a Coptic smile
A fool who borrows from the dreams
Of youth
Anointed in
Cimmerian shade
You're not the object of missionary charity
Villainy of faith
Wagons that bring the bread to humanity
Pass by leaving no trace
Can only read by
Her dying glow
Faded long ago

I FOUGHT THE MAW (AND THE MAW WON)
Your life
Is only to die, man
Your purpose here
You self-create
Revolt
Transform into a rule of life
What was
Invitation to death
Silent sky watches
Pushing your stone
Searching for meaning
In a formless void
Freedom
Drown your idols in forever sea
Not bound
To prove false eternities
Truth is absurd
No absolutes
You are free, man
To live without appeal
Passion
This contradiction must be lived
The conqueror
Momentary ruler of dominions absent

RID OF YOU
You can see it
In the path you take
Your selfish motives
And your past mistakes
Open up your head
Who is this dark star
Bronzed savior
With bullhorn mouth
Roaring traitor
Open up your head
Reverberating mirror
Half dumb, half dead
Open up your head
Distortion agent
Rallying the inbred
You can feel it
In the pains you take
Tangled reasons
For privilege sake
Hollow handshake
While you shine their shoes
Divert your attention
And they're rid of you

OUR WAR
The Morning Star
On her translation trip
At evening prayer
They sing Homeward Bound
The Morning Star
Cast on the reef
You say you're a monk
Like it's a health condition
So don't speak to me
Of your serenity
It's mine
You sound like you read
About punk rock in a book
Dentured white panther
Provincial demagogue
It's mine
I and I
And you and you
Me and me
The royal we
The revolution needs
Neanderthals of its own
To bit the bullets for hte bespeckled
To clear the runways, to gas up the jets
To welcome the coming of the new ice age
Try and find your own words
I can't hear them anyway
Do I care
Do I want to know
Would I listen
If you told me so
It's mine

The elevator pitch was, and I quote, "Let's be like Poison Idea but without the morbid obesity. Like, just record a 7" and
then one of us dies in a car accident."
We are old enough to know better, yet here we are, and now here is you too. Hello.
