Majesty

|

|
men have worshipped foreign gods in search of light
they offer insight to the powers that they claim to know
but I’m hypnotized now by the urgings of my soul
we reminisce in weathered moments of our youth
we harvest barren fields in search of truth
but I’ll survive now on the longings of my soul
some profess a wisdom from an unknown tongue. I’m not the one.
Their revelations are as rare as precious stone
But I’m mesmerized now by the forces of my soul
Dim horizons lure an innocent few. If they only knew.
A purgatory in exchange for a pleasant view
But I’ll live and die now by the majesty of my own soul

RAVEN

the raven makes its slow descent
to pry away our years well spent
the messenger that darkness sent
yet mother never sees
filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved
…and it drags us down, down, down, down
the eagle stays away the night
and with the bear no longer fights
scorpion tries to flex its might
as sand rips through our eyes
filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved
raven release your grip from me
allow us to live this day in peace
we hurl ourselves to the vanishing point
and then in fire we will annoint
a dried-out stone we can’t exploit
we brought it on ourselves
filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved
…and it drags us down, down, down, down
wretched raven take to the sky
for centuries we have asked you why
you leave us here on earth to die
eclipse our dimming sun
filthy bird, go on extend your wings
the fires crackle while the sirens sing
the raven only brings the fate deserved
raven release your grip from me
allow us to live this day in peace
…and it drags us down, down, down

The womb of dawn will bear a sun
Blinding light has split the void
cells divide and multiply…she knows
Jesus Christ this is not a drill. bestow your favor clearly on our flock
if the holy spirit moves within you, inflict everlasting grief for thee
Oh, kind and merciful savior, let their children wander roofless in rags
Bottoms of their feet split wide open, snow beneath them soaked with their blood
Assail their path and may their steps be heavy, in kind their throats be cracked and dry
To us you giveth yet they’re all forsaken. Beg for death to only be denied
Eternal beam of warmth and light, Lay waste their homes with tides of fire
Blessed lord who smiles upon us, smite their hopes and blight their lives
Clear rulers of their crumbling thrones, daisy cutter lays them all to waste
The hope, the power and the glory are yours, in daisy cutter’s holy name
AMEN
The tomb we walk concedes we’re done
Gaping black engulfs our stone
cells mutate and eat their own…she knows

Fate of Nations
10:23
|

|
Am I the only one?
It seems the fate of nations is driven by temptation
To let the dogs out; To bury bones and secrets.
It’s rather disappointing we find ourselves anointing
The lesser evil. We trade our coin for morals.
Do we find it strange
We want to see the stain?
But he feels our pain
It seems the fate of nations is given to frustration
With intern willing. Keep the oval office thrilling
We’ve turned our cheek on cheap shots and dangle from our slip knots
We’ll shovel fallout. We’ll choke on bones and secrets
Yet we pray and pray
As he begs to stay
While he grins unscathed
It seems the fate of nations is driven by temptation
To let the dogs out; To bury bones and secrets.
We’ve turned our cheek on cheap shots and dangle from our slip knots
We’ll shovel fallout. We’ll choke on bones and secrets
Yet we pay and pay
As he begs to stay
While he grins unscathed
It’s clear the end has come
The truth has been undone
With one slip of the tongue
Am I the onLy one?
Napalmed fields of screams and dreams erased
Pile the poor like cords of wood to light
Round them up and ship them off to war
Nightmares past repeat the ones before
Churn out the days of death and worthless souls
Landing gear retracts while props throw smoke
Their mothers shriek to bring them home
Am I the only one?

Bleeding Out
07:38
|

|
Every day I’m at war with my brain
I struggle just to pretend that I’m sane
I’m bleeding out ever slowly but peace never comes
I try each day to improve as a man
But seldom things seem to go as I planned
I’m bleeding out ever slowly but peace never comes
The slashes come an inch at a time
Watching the blood flowing out is sublime…
And yet the days will drone on
All control will be gone
Bury sadness and sin
Cherished darkness rolls in…leave me alone. Let me bleed out…
I shelter light in the palm of my hand
Crushed by regret as I make my last stand
I’m bleeding out every slowly but peace never comes
Force a smile while they snuff out the light
I whistle passing the graveyard at night
I’m bleeding out ever slowly but peace never comes
Pick myself up and will plow through the day
As nothing’s keeping the suffering away…
And yet the days will drone on
All control will be gone
Bury sadness and sin
Cherished darkness rolls in…leave me alone. Let me bleed out.

supported by 33 fans who also own “Porta Coeli”
If you like to live on the edge and have no regard for mindless compliance or conformity, this might just be the ticket. But I gotta warn you, Auralayer's Thousand Petals is probably going to duke it out for Album of the Year at Clean and Sober Stoner, maybe even the Doom Charts, against the likes of Hail the Void, Faery Ring, Snakemother and Acid King. Once you cross that line, it can be hard to go back... Cleanandsoberstoner.com

The Hex of Penns Woods
by Almost Honest
supported by 32 fans who also own “Porta Coeli”
Almost Honest have continued to push the envelope within the modern heavy underground scene. To David's point, while they reside within the Stoner/Doom landscape, they possess a wildly catchy, diverse and intriguing sense of songwriting, meticulously merging elements of grunge, punk, metal and alternative rock. Honestly, this could be their best work yet.
