Subdued - 4 Track EP Lyrics
1. Open Grave
lowly hiss and ringing
did you see it descending
all their dignity down on you
crown of thorns
everything confused
bolt the chain
lying in the piss of those they've slain
everything is sharper now aim for pain
heavens filled with acid rain
silence slitting through the spread
like cutting through pigs flesh
I can hear the chorus sing with no meaning
just a song to the wind
if you want it you'll see that it's real
step down into the mire crouched cracked on your heels
you're a sinking boot
slip down to your knees
everything gone grey grown hard with disease
sulphur breeze
lying lame in bed with your belief
awful glow
miscast childs shadow
metal washing in
anything worthwhile stripped and thinned
bloodless minds and skin
it's cutting, cutting, and cutting again
tell you how to feel
devils haven't the modern world
they lead you on a chain
gladly walk with them
misplaced all desire
light the funeral pyres
laugh with the condemned
step into the pit
willingly submit
holding on to cuff and collar
gave a purpose to you
the rest are holding onto theirs
bloody faces in the glare
faintly hoping for some freedom
respite from tide and poison
be quiet now or be sedated
all emotion automated
masses silent anyway
seeing it with feeble wave
you have failed to transcend
so you're placed into a grave
tiptoe through headstones
with all your sickly feelings
murder, a kinder thing to do
just get in the pit and lie still
the rat catcher
the child snatcher
no separation with you
see the dying of the rat
no longer able to turn back
herds are thinning
end of faith at its beginning
all the awful things you thought to do
figure disappears underneath the boot
be quiet now or be sedated
only poison cultivated
staring into a black doorway
faces erupt and fade in orgy
meaning burns on limpid wires
then melts into the air
this is nothing but a nightmare
meaning burns on limpid wires
then melts into the air
this is nothing but a nightmare
meaning burns on limpid wires
then melts into the air
this is nothing but a nightmare
2. Sedation
not the needle in the side of my temple
evil sin and lies in the side of my temple
wondering why you ever close your eyes
in the side of my temple
in the side of my temple
your body fails and so does your mind
no longer the bait to starving dogs on a string
you close the door on life
but in the window he's watching
eternal visions invade
I raise the stumps of my bloody hands
and as the damned soul sinks
the fire rises
they're nailing you to the cross
strapped to the syringe
why close your eyes
all the filth's in your mind
3. Face to the Fire
face to the fire
who was here instead of me
memory gone entirely
life is the enemy
filling up a bag with dreams
tremble in your ears and then
going at them like a dog
face is stretched in slanting fog
transitory time is spent
picking at the bones of it
walking in the well it's cold
won't think until
your brain is pulled
4. Kill Them or You
you're unforgiven too
face as white as bone
long streak of bad luck
pray it's all gone
life like a nightmare
picture of pain
only a shadow
of shame remains
no schizophrenia
the hurting thing is you
a toy in the mundane
madness stares through
misery
down in your hell
life's an empty cell always
come into existence and pass away
