lyrics

and as the owl awaits the morning light
to peel back his eyelids

oh the dismal display of the hunt
in the night

i can hear rather than see

the spectacle of a morsel
slithering its carcass

it's a dead man walking
a blind man stalking
a deaf man talking
to a mangy cat in the brush

the crackling of life's gnarled branches
under the feet of the meek
under the thumb of the mighty

to tithe thee to go free in murky sea
a radio free technology of expedited greed
on the markets speed
a 7 minute spending spree
a million dollar finder's fee
see the serpent seethe
bite into knee
the ecstasy of the king kill successfully
rebelling against an entire culture's mythology
of happiness compartmentalized demagoguery

wandering alone at the dawn's early light

i open me wings
i twirl me head
i open me beak
to the dream
of an infinite sky

in dimensions of multiple times,
are we all writing
together?

do i need to testify that i
am one
in the theory?

as muscles finally settle
i can speak only sentences
cluttered and battled
as i move off
from inside tree canopies
as a glorified
monstrosity
taking
flight

i open up the Gates

the Stars dim

in me
eyes

i say

good night

Their music moves from electro to hip hop to metal, no rock left unturned. ... more
