Captives of the Past 04:24
lyrics

Verse Pestilence and violence, the future so bright The shackles that bind us ensnare us tight Dark age returns, future foregone Inquisition of innocent, from many culled to one The Men on the hill who speak for the dead The priests of the law cursed ancients once said The slaves of the past are slaves of today Once freed from this clan must return to obey Chorus No lessons learned Shackled by the dead The future held in chains Captives of the Past to blame The ways never change The means stay the same Captives of the past Verse We thought us enlightened, the dawn of the day The fires of wisdom, that would lead our way The path consumed, the darkness engulf Benighted in ignorance, clamps the maw of the wolf The pyres of furor, devour our future Flashbacks of horror, the specter of torture Dragged to the past, our torments reborn The hours strike backwards, the present is torn Verse The eye of the storm, its center with calm Its winds have returned and destruction to come The tongue of the other, the womb of the mother These cells the masters watch forever Like ghosts to observe all anguish and strife Trapped on this Earth, but taken from life Fading and Nameless, now whispers our cries Lost in the Tides, on time's shores we will die

I Object 05:13
lyrics

I, Object verse: Locked in a keyless cell of flesh with wardens who couldn't care They watch me with their judging eyes that can't see the pain in my heart because I am worth far less than the sum of my all parts They repeat that I am blessed salivating to taste my flesh chorus: I, object Anatomy without autonomy I, object A shell with no agency I, object A body with no humanity I, object A corpse with no identity verse But the secret they will not say is that I was never somebody they prod me with their stethescopes Count the days until I'm not me Livestock until spent of essence Put on the meat hook for slaughter A faceless tool of construction A pawn for others' desire verse: Born in a hollow cage of bone two windows to a broken world twelve hundred cubic centimetres Is all the freedom I will know I am locked in a butcher shop And everybody wants their cut For I am an object of flesh Less a human than a womb
