Oh god. so every year this is how it must be and the first
song reminds me I don't have time to do all the goddamn layers
like normal! Drumming by panic and lyrics somewhat stream of
consciousness, still, finally got here. Favourite bit is the
noise though. Some things stay constant! Maybe I'll put the
lyrics up in a day or two...
Lyrics:
An invasion of the bright blue sky
By charcoal idols six miles high
A monument to those unseen
Hides quite neatly in the seams
Fourteen million round and round
Forsaking senses and fertile ground
Hard like rock but under so much strain
The waves will be here someday
A horde of noone charges through
Reclusive lives suck in their breath
Exhale you out again and again
Only to cause outrage again as it breaks down
Following the mountains song
It’s an A.I. forcing a final con
Avenues of broken trees
Hacked up and packed up, metropolis wants to sing
A chorus sings of exalted wings
To show you where the dead dropped in
Anthems slaving to the grid that pulses away in every vein
A stain you can no longer remove
Sweeping across horizons laying vertically
Before the dying sunlight leaves it’s final glance
A vision lost in mosaics of glass
Tagses: rock, stoner, prog (!) (we can link these up later)
