Nightshade

Sounds Of Dark Matter

NEW ERA

WRITTEN BY THOMAS, LYRICS BY DAVE
LYRICS

Ophidian visions
Eyes: two burning coals
The tongue: a tale of Gods passed and forsaken

Serpent coils in dirt, drawing full circles
Devouring its birth, hatching new worlds
Claiming its seven crowns, quenching its sins
He crawls to smother among the breeds

Stars aligned and merged in an architecture of fear
Preachers on the rise, Gods feast on smoke and tears

Smothering all the breeds – The seven-headed beast

Armies of hooded beasts align and torch the temples
Echoes of history stabbed irrational
Industrialised lies manufactured from the ground
More emperors than crowns in the realm of ignorance

Stars align in a construct of fear

Candles burn in the light, anger smolders
Eyes sewn shut, hands bound in prayer
Knees sore, tongues pouring flies
Heads numbed, cradled in a soothing dream

Smothering all the breeds – The seven-headed beast
