ASUNDER LYRICS
"Graves At Sea/Asunder" (2005 Split)
1. Pariah
2. Reclamation
3. Whited Sepulcher
1. Pariah
Sovereign feminine wisdom
Equalize
Destroy to rebuild
Consummate
Gorgon sisterhood
Covenant of cursed seed
To bleed without
Pain or wound
In harmony
With tide and moon
Invoken the power of fertility
Cyclical
From womb to tomb
By the moon
Over land and sea
Beauty in sorrow
By the sun
Light a fire in the sky
Beauty is melancholy
This reverence of sacred beauty
Elicits a vile betrayal
Usurper of purity
(The sanctity/the banishment) of this form so frail
Awaken pariah into this solitude
Shrouded in a halo
Of spiraling serpentine
Towering black mountains
Devour the dying sun
Down into the depths
Of the forgotten abyss
The pale light of the waning moon
Clings to the hanging fog
A call echoes out
On cascading cliffs
And on the horizon
A lone silhouette
The traveller has come to ease my pain
My final vision
Shown in mirrored glass
The forgotten beauty
And the cold sting of Perseus's blade
Barren horizon
Eclipsing sun
Internal isolation
2. Reclamation
Born upon a dying sun what has become must be undone
Three times three
Let them see
Set them free
The call goes out
On sea and land
The quarters gather for this last stand
Carrion wing cuts through the sky
Advancing tides await the cry
Charging storms and canyons set stage
For pires to usher a dawning age
Somber awakening
Tranquil heavens
The hour of reclamation has come
Setting skies and land become one
Vast lunar shadows envelope the sun
Celestial uprising commands four great seas
To consume the seven things
Advancing oceanic
Conquering of land
The mighty storm devours man
Mammoth stone giants
Spew molten blood
To rebuild the empire
Reclaimed in the flood
I look back to where we began
What we've become
And I understand... cries... no blind... lies... reclamation
3. Whited Sepulcher
Thunder peels a nervous sky
Trumpets blare calling doom
Procession of solemn winged
To douse the flames of sacred life
Aquito auster aurora occasus
Heavens mired reflection in bowls of filth
And the plagues pour forth
Consecration
Hail fire blood
Mountains fume unto expanse
Locust echo scorpion's sting
Angelic symphony
We cower
Never ending time
Surrender man unkind
Fall, tremble before the gathering storm
Dread of enigma and ordained darkness
Hollow imprecation
Craven hearts
Bereft of concord and sanguine light
Lust for your plight
Evoke atomic estrangements
And sundered minds resigned
Inditing ruins design
Sheep summon wolves
Throats bared to manifest the end
Quietus transcend
Canon fodder
Recreant
White sepulcher
Never ending time
Surrender delusion
No kingdom comes
Thy wilt not be done
Craven cult
I know thy works
The faith upheld
I hold against thee
