lyrics

white pines, doug firs, all of the giants of the canopies
mycelium filaments, branching bacterial colony
white pines, douglas firs
mycelium filaments, branching bacterial colony
white pines

untraceable apostle of death
untraceable, hands stretched out to the darkness below
unrestored apostle of death
hands stretched out to the darkness below

illuminations, a spark from a stone,
fractures the light in the cave, and the glow

all divinations are welcome to die
this is our pyramid, our third eye

illuminations, a spark from a stone,
neural concord fractures the light, light

wolves in the heavy moon

all divinations are welcome to die
this is our pyramid, our third eye

this scene’s too slow, and we can see for miles
my tent’s in the distance, under the trees, shadows galore

galore, galore, mountain views, the cedars grow, grow,
galore, let there be agony, demon sword, gore, galore,
demon sword, gore, gore

we count the taking of a life in the snow
we count the pages of a life
a crumpled piece of paper, ink stains from quills the drippings

gore, gore galore
