The Violent Sleep of Reason

[Verse 1]

We are origin, we are increate

You will see our coming for a thousand years

Every violent element incarnate

Made flesh and fused to one

[Refrain]

You may call us Remnant

As we are all that will be left

[Verse 2]

Brought forth by ancient whisper

Deployed by inverse suns

To capture the essence of creation

And render it undone

[Bridge]

We come to make all things collide

Those joules define what we are

An energy born in dissonance

Long before first ever star

Baptized in the river you call time

We know that we are sacred

In human tongue, we're apocalypse

For we bring with us obliteration

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Through spectacles tuned to infinity

You will see our coming for a thousand years

You will know us then for what we truly are:

The realization of every fear

8 ContributorsViolent Sleep of Reason LyricsA systematically applied veil to heedless eyes

Focus deflected, ignore

This is not our war

Bury the abject shame in the same bile as our ideals

The potent lubricant to deceit's grinding wheels

The menacing implications, the violent sleep of reason

Betrayal we all help sustain

Humanitarian treason

This deadly inclination, this forfeiture of innocence

The sacrifice of guiltless souls for our own deliverance

The pain you feel

Indifference thrust into your back

Forged from our ignorance from our immorality

A parody, this mockery

To no avail you kneel before this our insanity

Another life condemned

Your fate sealed the second you came to exist

Your suffering non-essential for we care not if you subsist

We will all belie any allusion, any crime

Cower and hide. Any culpability denied

All will imply it's an illusion, a fallacy

So when you die, remember we said it's not reality

8 ContributorsIvory Tower LyricsWhy mourn this travesty

Hide this slow degradation

Claw and compete mindlessly

All things undone too late

Craving our waking sleep

Is binding us to this ivory tower

Serves to complete the truth that we cling onto

So what are these things you hold true?

The defensive wounds of the unknowing eye

Weeping thousands of wretched tears

To lubricate the end with our fear

The concussion from the crack of the whip

Nullifies, sensations die

Always numbing, always preaching

Never resting, never sleeping

The construction is our penance here

Tumorous growth chiseled in white

When the darkness comes to slay the day

Enters horrors that you'll be wishing away

Which is the way?

Which is the way?

Which is the way?

10 ContributorsNostrum Lyrics“Nostrum” references blind obedience and the veil of illusion within religion.

It’s the second single off the album The Violent Sleep of Reason and was released on September 15, 2016, through a 360° lyric… Read More Jealous vengeful fabrication

Halo-crowned invention

Sacred universal lie

Artificial divine

Great archaic obsoletum

A prevarication

Deceitfully contrived

Synthesized fictitious

Dreamed up by remote prototypes

Opiate for the yearning mass

Administered applied

Three letter word for monster

Empty promises of healing

Profit aptly buried in the lies

An industry rapt with avarice

Medicating blind

Its acolytes

Useless panacea

Imaginary cure-all

To you we cry and supplicate

Into your hell we fall

Blind belief in their eyes

Forever atoning, credulously waiting

Gazing to the skies

9 ContributorsOur Rage Won’t Die LyricsCry if you need to, disguise, evade, hide

Run 'til you hit water, then swim

Murder in your wake, plan, commit, exact

You have earned our rage, now fly

Beg if you have to, trade away your pride

Run 'til you hit ground, then dig

Death in your wake, those fantasies enacted

You will learn that our rage won't die

You will surely pay the ultimate price

There is no way you will escape our retribution

It will not matter how long it takes

You took them from us so we will take you

Do you believe that luck will somehow stand you by?

Do you really think our resolve will wane?

Do you really think that it will dissipate?

We will haunt you, we will come for you

To collect on what you owe to us

Eye for eye, life for life

Only payment in full can end this strife
