TESSITURA – UNEARTH THE UNDERWORLD - LYRICS

WOUNDS OF THE RIGHTEOUS

Beauty unseen by eyes so hollow


A world tuned grey, a heart so shallow
Delusions of grandeur reflect in seed
Tended so carefully

Sewn in earth for other to eat


Guided to violence for mental disease
When faith is used for selfish needs
Words become so enchanted, tongues so deadly

Drink the blood and eat the flesh


Slaughter the lamb in the house of death
Praise the father for killing the sun
Push these beliefs on everyone

Force feed the weak


Mindless followers spread the disease
Mouths forced shut must speak
To bring light to the hypocrisy

Sitting upon a throne of thorns


What is morally right has been ignored
Arms forced open and palms turned up
What is the position of love?

Sharpening edges against skin


Slitting open the wounds of the righteous

It must be done
They can’t be allowed to go on
Words they abandon
Identified with self-loathing

The truth no one can tell


The truth no one can tell
The truth no one can tell

Force feed the weak


Mindless followers spread the disease
Mouths forced shut must speak
To bring light to the hypocrisy

Militant Christian, teaching the masses


Know all of your wrongs, and all of your errors
I am void of flesh, I am void of feeling
I am void of everything
That gives you meaning

BISON HAT

Heed my warning
Take what remains
Before we ask them to come forth and take the reins

Keep me wise to the lies


And with barely open eyes
We'll watch as these collapsing walls
Refuse to compromise

Can't see a way out


Can't feel my way down
Like speaking truth will only land us
Deeper in the ground

We're slipping, soon to drown


And will we, find a way out?
Can't find a way out

Light the fires of neverending nightmares

Leave me to the task and I will seek what you desire


The moon will cast the light as night extinguishes the pustulous fire

Endless tension crystalizes bridges slick with slime


Hide your eyes to see the violence hidden in the shadows of time

Escaping wraths of judgement til the autumn sighs its breath


Twisting through the rivers of blood with spirits bringing burning black death

Yeah, the decks, are flooding now

Rains bring sullen darkness


By which we're all defined
Meet me, beyond the border
Event horizon line

As we, journey further


With sanity unfurled
Will we find a way to
Unearth the underworld?
Will we find a way to
Unearth the underworld?

STAGNANT

Apollo didn't fly today


We hope that all is well
Crossroads have brought us to
This unsuspected Hell

Darkness is upon us
And the hourglass has turned
Demons have been frozen
And the angels have been burned

Let us see the future


Give us passion, give us flame
Give us understanding
That you gave the past the same

We cross a bridge built of


Redemption and of light
Guiding us into a world of night

Hands are cupped over ears


As they're hearing a warriors wails
And we drown in their tears
As they burn in the fires of ignorance

All these roads have been cut


And buildings erect
And all for the fear of eternal neglect

Stand up to the weakness


And march with the fiends of acceptance

Hell arrives on Earth


Because of patterns in the sky
Man will never walk on water
Pigs will never fly

Let the knowlegde hammers


Smash the glowing rocks to dust
Been given eyes to see
Been given freedom, given lust

Leaves fall from the trees


Awakening arrives
No more shall we follow
Based on punishment and lies

Tomorrow waits for us


We ought to do her proud
Plug your ears and use your mind
And make it fucking loud

SEVERED EARTH

Taken from The sky


We stand to wonder what the gods despise
Our lives we reprise
Into the hate that fuels us to fight

Why are we cursed?


Trapped here on this severed earth
Why must we wait?
In this house of blades we cannot escape

Fate is not on our side


Abandoned by those we once held high
Nothing left to sacrifice
There are no more stars in the sky

And once they descend


There’s no line between foe and friend
For they’ve come to hunt
To devour us one by one

“So, they’ve come for us”


“They can’t conquer all of us”
“We must show them all of us”
“Fight with all that’s left of us”

It must stand to reason?


If they can be beaten
Reveal in them a weakness
One that will defeat them

We must justify ourselves


Just enough to escape this hell
We were not made to suffer
For the mistakes they’ve made themselves

“So, they’ve come for us”


“They can’t conquer all of us”
“We must show them all of us”
“Fight with all that’s left of us”

Target their greed


And their lust
The intense fear
They hide from us

Taken from The sky


We stand to wonder what the gods despise
Our lives we reprise
Into the hate that fuels us to fight

Severed in two
The earth and the shy
To wage a war
Where Gods and mortals die

OF THE INFERNO

Travesties adorned with paint


These sacred characters have been betrayed
Judgement falls on those who taint
The timeless entity of youth

All wild grasses have been trimmed


All the skyward stars have dimmed
The only question left to ponder is "Why?"

Is there a passion left to look into the future?


I won't look the other way
I won't look the other way

Open your eyes and don't forget the miracle


Memories haunt you from the past
Kill em if you must, but you've now betrayed the trust
Of the ones forver unsurpassed

You've let the founding fathers be cast aside


Do not assume loyalty to the demon that's inside

Though left with hatred, I'm stuck inside the past


Withdrawn acceptance of this iconoclast
I only wish you'd do right by green and blue
Your crumbling mountain to them is desert dew

Look from the outside, imposters in the ranks


And evidently forgetful of the thanks
Owed to those who helped assemble this machine
I won't look the other way
I won't look the other way

We accept the falling of snow


And demise of this unfathomable power
History teaches so
Three decades beyond your finest hour

The fire inside me still burns


While the children all pretend nothings changed
Counting down the return
Or a time when words can be exchanged

Once the gods of thunder


Now a psycho circus of deluted clowns

I ain't the weak one


Don't want a truce
No more the parasite
Not worth a deuce

I won't look the other way


I won't look the other way

As anger floods me, my back remains unturned


This admiration you rightfully have earned
Always remember there were men behind the masks
And I'll look the other way
I will look the other way
