Silent Planet - Afterdusk Lyrics

First the auspices
they came dripping from the sky
set their course to the coast
black sand blazing in their eyes

We woke and bore witness
to a tarnished veil of gold
Tiny corpses line the strand
obsolescence unfolds

Intravenously, hypodermic pipelines
seep toxins to the sea
adorning our shores with negligence
Suffocate, immolate
cauterize the surface
Poison dances in the sky

Walk with me, walk with me
and see our colonies breeding dystrophy
Can you feel, feel the disconnect resonate
burn inside your chest?
Palpitating, palpitating pulse
Failing heart, cardiac convulse

The violence we love, it's cyclical
We rise and we fall, it's inevitable

Is it fatal?
Is the fallout inevitable?
It was all for nothing
spiraling out of control

Misdirected decathect
Both indirect and circumspect
Oh, architect of disconnect
In retrospect, I now suspect

Trace the hills with your hungry eyes
Witness how, like an orphan's spine
cities protrude on the horizon line
Greed will rise and carve out the sky
blinding us to the repercussion

Pull the blood from the earth
leave a grave for your sons
Oil is the ink
fueling missiles like pens
writing oblivion

Walk with me, walk with me
and see our colonies breeding dystrophy
Can you feel, feel the disconnect resonate
burn inside your chest?
Palpitating, palpitating pulse
Failing heart, cardiac convulse

The violence we love, it's cyclical
We rise and we fall, it's inevitable

Is it fatal?
Is the fallout inevitable?
It was all for nothing
spiraling out of control
Is it fatal?
Is the fallout inevitable?
It was all for nothing
spiraling out of control

This violence we love, it's cyclical
We rise and we fall, it's inevitable

The violence we love, it's cyclical
We rose just to fall

I followed the harm to the site of infection
The exit wounds where we made our home
We were gorged with the earth
and drunk off the seas
And now we die
with the taste of decay on our tongues
