Wound
Body Void
GENRE The land is wounded
Drenched in blood
The skin that holds our ache
Stretched beneath a septic sun
We live here
By a hole
The earth has opened wide
To scream its curse
The wound has spread
It grows like vines
It grows from the pit of my heart
And circles my spine
When I die
My body will return
To the dust and the earth
From which I was born
The world is waiting for a sign of life
The spirit’s been abandoned
The cancer of greed, of waste with hungry mouths to feed
We can not wait for long
Capital’s worship of idols with no past
Consume the world with force
The cannibal flays the skin of family
Sells it back for more
The land is wounded
Bones exposed
I’m strung up on a line
Insides hanging out
I’m cut piece by piece
They take whatever they need
I’m gone
I fade away
This planet
Is not yours
Your hunger
Starves us all
Your wealth
Won’t save you
This planet
Is not yours
You coward
Your system
Is over
The sky is swallowed
Darkness falls
The wound spreads
A bottomless pit
A grave
We all fall in
Where will we go
The stars are gone
We drift away
Nothing, nothing
A universe damned
Rejection of life
Rejection of self
Never, never
Drenched in blood
The skin that holds our ache
Stretched beneath a septic sun
We live here
By a hole
The earth has opened wide
To scream its curse
The wound has spread
It grows like vines
It grows from the pit of my heart
And circles my spine
When I die
My body will return
To the dust and the earth
From which I was born
The world is waiting for a sign of life
The spirit’s been abandoned
The cancer of greed, of waste with hungry mouths to feed
We can not wait for long
Capital’s worship of idols with no past
Consume the world with force
The cannibal flays the skin of family
Sells it back for more
The land is wounded
Bones exposed
I’m strung up on a line
Insides hanging out
I’m cut piece by piece
They take whatever they need
I’m gone
I fade away
This planet
Is not yours
Your hunger
Starves us all
Your wealth
Won’t save you
This planet
Is not yours
You coward
Your system
Is over
The sky is swallowed
Darkness falls

A bottomless pit

Where will we go
The stars are gone

Nothing, nothing
A universe damned
Rejection of life
Rejection of self
Never, never
