about

The title track from from our debut EP

lyrics

I am a child born of empty promises
Longing for a world that will never come
Powers beyond my control have no need for me
I am condemned to wander in search of meaning

Adrift, unsure
Vultures creep
Calling, calling down
I hear them speak

Heed! You! This warning I bestow
Turn! Back to your place and
Bow! Down! At the feet of
Living machinery, progress comes at any price
I! Will! Own the hours of
Your! Life! Your hands shall splinter
Bring! Me! My daily bounty

Woe unto you that you should see
This time
In decline
For no thought can exist outside a narrow paradigm
Making way
Empowering evil to normalize its place


Weathered
Already a shell, a husk yet so young
Unclean
Cutting through flesh, this culture of suffering
Am I alone?
Are there others
Who've been exploited just like me?

Your blood shall grease the gears, so my fortune can rise
You are my instrument, I'll use you as I like
Extract all I can from you, bleeding you dry
Wallow in scarcity while begging for your life
Begging for your life

Know! Your! Place and don’t complain
All! Beneath me need to
Suffer! As it's always been
The old will loathe you if you're free
You! Are! Expendable and
There! Will! Always be more
Cogs! To! Fill my machine

This is your life, now don't step out of
Line
In decline
For no thought can exist outside a narrow paradigm
Making way
Empowering evil to normalize its place

I am a child born of empty promises
But I shall not let these leeches take my will
Though I may wander, no meaning yet made clear
These hands shall bleed in the name of avarice no more
