sons of perdition – zero point lyrics

Loading...

i washed up in trinity, my pulse as slow as sand
corrupted by the venom of the serpent’s poison gland
the town was stripped of all but bone, the houses leaned obscenely
down the road a coyote loped, its milky eye fixed on me

i saw a woman, dead and gray, skin peeled from her cold face
her eyes were eaten by the birds, black sockets stared out into sp+ce
to her left there sat a man as vacant as the town
the sun had boiled his spongy brains; a broken window tore his crown

this is because that is

i clawed my way up to the pair, demanding what i sought
he turned upon me sun+bleached eyes that promised respite could be bought
i gave him everything i owned and all i’d worked to steal
to purge the toxin from my veins and have my body healed

he took the bottle from the corpse and handed it to me
map+like veins and swollen clouds were all that i could see
i drank that rank elixir in one gagging, wretched gulp
it congealed inside my sickly frame, turning bile to pulp

this is because that is

i realized i’d been deceived by empty lies and promises
his entire legend built on lies; through fools he came to prominence
my journey a fool’s errand, so i shot him through his eye
i shook his brains out from his head and hung his body on a pine
this is not because that is not

i set fire to all around me as i staggered out of town
the coyote ran through fire and smoke, low upon the ground
a ring upon the woman’s finger lit up like the sun
as the coyote swallowed up her hand, ragnarök was won

this is not because that is not

hopeless, crazed, and dispossessed, i walked out in the desert
my eyes swam in the heavens while my feet slept in the dirt
with no food, no water and no cure, i prayed for death to find me
the sun spun round and swelled, i was sure that it would blind me

this is not because that is not

i felt my flesh fall off its bones, my soul evaporate
my self turned into something else; supernal change of state
that foul star absorbed my being until we became as one
lifted into fetid skies, shedding my old form

this ceases to be because that ceases to be
