Year Zero

We took too long to reach the sky,
Yet here we stand – a burning world.
Through all this there was nothing,
Nothing to say…
And in the end, we could not save her.
Our endless sky above came crashing down.
Our oceans, so deep – bereft of life.
How I used to fear the black of night,
But now it’s all that we have left of her.
Run away from the end of the world,
Where the ashes are falling like snow.
In escape now, set sail on a road of sorrows,
From which we’ll never break from.
It was us who set the earth on fire,
But we won’t be here to watch it burn,
We will watch the sun from a new horizon,
It’s a lesson that we’ll fail to learn.
As those left now turn away,
We’ll be gone without a trace,
Wrath, greed, hate, and violence,
Have somehow now found their way into space.
As the heavens open up,
We’re breaking on through!
An endless destiny,
Returns with a familiar force to,
Pull us all in it again!
The power that man seeks,
The dominion he claims,
The sword he wields -
It’s all still the same.
With hatred in his eyes,
In violence he dies!
It’s still the same,
And no – nothing will change.

A Starless Constellation

Cut from roots we float away,
Severed from the break of day.
Walls of grey entomb what's left,
Of a humanity bereft.
In an ark adrift from home,
Trapped inside this starless dome.
Doomed to wander endless space,
All the ties that bind erased.
No shelter…
No shore…
No summers…
No more…
Negated…
We're nothing…
Searching for something…
To fill this void!
What have we all done,
What have we become,
What have we all done,
What have we begun?

Samsara
08:04
|

The storm inside swept out in sight.
The loss of all that had been home.
Remove the soot from your eyes,
And face the sorrow that led you here.
Arise! You orphaned few here.
All lies! An end to suffering.
Arrive! You crash upon this world.
Don't cry! Your cries won't bring you home!
(...are we alive...)
Turn from the sky,
You're not alone,
Give up all hope of your old life!
No time to mourn,
You are alive,
Give up the ghost, take up the knife!

Your Flesh, My Blood
09:42
|

Born into the deep, a space between.
A home unknown to me In memory.
Your flesh, my blood, a future returning,
Like the dawn upon the fields now flooding.
Are we to live on here for you?
Through the nights,
Prevailing through the tears?
A new spark of life brings in light to your dark,
But odes to a dead dawn mean nothing to me.
A great divide separates me from you,
A distance of colors and songs in the wind.
The world you once knew cannot be for me,
I am a native to darkness and stranger to thee.
How do we stay the same flesh for very long,
When reared in a chamber of iron,
With no days to keep?
Rain does not fall,
No grass grows,
No woods tall…
Cloudless the sky,
No birds fly,
Stars alone…
(We are alone – are unknown – not your own)

Light Tomb
08:53
|
|||
|
Estranged from dawn,
Nomads we are.
Orphaned to light
Driftwood through the night.
We are no children of men.
We do not cry nor pretend,
To be the heirs of a world never known.
(No!). No sun nor moon in our skies
The starry night meets our eyes,
And it stretches beyond any lines.
A new thing emerged,
From absence come forth,
In nature transformed.
Forged in the night,
Born into flight,
Condemned to fight,
Never to be whole!
Flowing red on rivers of blood, we sail.
Shining steel, the knives in our hands,
Sunk in hearts
Broken bones and skulls pave the road to homes –
Still to come
False hopes becoming stones in a wall of dead wombs
Your light tombs.
(We turn eternally home,
Like driftwood we roam...)
Turn to the sea!
Turn to the sea!

Faerie Ring return and so does the RIFF, all caps. Faerie Ring take what would be a cookie cutter riff from anyone else and just JUICE it so thoroughly, with passion and energy and melodic interest and the all-important rhythmic groove (much more important to a good stoner riff than loud fuzz), that it just blows out your speaker and makes you mean mug. Guaranteed. I loved the wacky sounds they created in the studio that really push this over the edge from great into bonkers-great.
