Have you given any thought to what you'd like to be the next go around? A cow standing in a field? Maybe a dog at his master's feet? Or a dancing bear, bloody and bound? Have you given any thought to what you'd like to be when it's all made anew? Have you given any thought to what you'd like to be the next go around? A kārearea on the wing? Or a seal basking in the sun? I think that's what I'd like to be when we're free

Die is Cast 02:42
Peak once hidden emerges from smog A glimpse of a future never to be Stoked by living dead Flames grow higher Bellows pumped Empty words Verdant lands pulped Ashen wastes stretching on Dumped in slag pit Final sign of life Like in a dream Out the corner of your eye On the tip of your tongue A fleeting impression Molten steel pours Flowing into the mould The world as a crucible Foundry without end Noose forged in bronze The trap is set The die is cast

Horses turned to glue Retired to the farm No longer useful Progress marches on Now it's your turn Ground in to dog food

Funnel 02:11
Mob assembled Torches lit Pitchforks gripped Sweat, fear Stand at the gates Stare into the maw Chance to turn back Chance squandered! Hide in the dark Floor slick with gore Plundered tomb Ancient horror Only path leads deeper into darkness With fewer friends standing by your side you have no chance to survive Those who emerge are lionised as heroes

Go Slow 01:19
In daydreams of the end of all life did you forget the bacteria and little worms too? When they're gone there'll be no one to chew your flesh and gnaw your bones The bodies will lie in the wind and the rain worn away just like The Sphynx It'll all go slow Something must live to feast on the corpse

Shed 01:44
Crawling from the dark Years of silence blinded by the light Encased in hard shell Skins shed Sickening split Wings stretched Litter spreads into the night Once emerged Cries begin Cacophonous racket Amplified in emptiness Overbearing Implacable Night and day but no pullulation Identified by markings Distribution limited and declining No variation Indistinct Lethargic Easily deceived Skins shed Evidence left of their being crushed up underfoot Wings smashed off by birds Spiders, frogs and parasitic mites consume
