lyrics

Cathedrals Fall

Here, despite ourselves
Unshackled, Untethered, unbridled horror
Horror at the unseen
Distorted, perverted, unknown demon
Demon of the abyss
Devoid of reason Second to nothing
Sent from the Sun

Indiscriminate destroyer. To this, we’re viral
Viral worms in God’s corpse
Necrotising the tissue, Abomination
Abomination under the skies
Irritant. Distraction. An abberation
An aberration needing correction
Selective destruction
Annihilation
Wiped clean from the face of this earth

Piercing contempt
An Ignorant cynic
(Vehement)
An infantile wisdom
Found in microcosm
(Confident)
Projection of self onto
Nameless and formless
(Righteous)
Build structures, Cathedrals
Build Idols to ego

Monoliths to faithful service
Raising your arms and your hearts up above
Skylines of Gold and silver
Spires of hatred and spite and deception
Arches of penance
Solidify concepts, imprinting the servile
Your Life is your toil
Your death is the climax

To be as afraid as they are
To cower before the night sky
Alone and as small as we are
A Mote off dust in God’s eye
To stand unaffected by all
The vastness between the stars
Accept insignificance, death
And oblivion welcomes us all

Being and nothing
Separated by nothing but shades of perception
Mindless and gnostic
Distinguished by presence and absence of self
Being in the now
The source of your horror and alienation
Be absent and damned.
Be Absent and free.

The structures that bind us to id
That tower above us all
Of Concrete metal wood and stone
A monument to that which hides
Asleep in the back of our minds
A terror that hides from the light
The death of the present, the ego
The orgasm of life!

And in the end our skies will burn
And in the end our oceans boil
And in the end Cathedrals Fall
And in the end all time’s ablaze
And in the end All Christs shall fail
All Christs shall fail.

Lose the moment. Gain the infinite
Damn (your) presence. Oblivion beckons
A mote of dust in God’s eye
A mote of dust in God’s eye
A mote of dust in God’s eye
A mote of dust in God’s eye
