Collapsed Lung by Anomaly in Effigy

Tribal warfare splits the one
What was made will be undone
Sickness seeps from mind to flesh
Suffering begins afresh
Corpses in the living room
Flowers growing on the tomb
Shadows come from casting light
Underworlds will feast on plight
Cracks that branch out through the street
Grinding cattle into meat
Draw the figure on the wall
Drop a pin and watch it fall
Thirst and hunger - no reprieve
Teaching children how to grieve
See the black swan lift her head
Tears of laughter in your dread

Gaze upon the ruins
Lie amongst the ruins
Choke upon the ruins
Die within the ruins

Open-lidded sleepless eyes
Paradise of swarming flies
Smirking pride reduced to tears
Limping, crawling through the years
Weak distractions getting old
Limbs that cannot shake the cold
Dreams that never came to pass
Swollen black malignant mass
Saviors on their steeds of white
Shining beams of endless night
Feverful and mindless wrath
Scorching earth along their path
Lead me to the cycle's end
Never to be seen again
Disappear beyond the veil
Leave you blind to fall and fail

Gaze upon the ruins
Lie amongst the ruins
Choke upon the ruins
Die within the ruins
