The Open Maw
(Oh, Believe Me – Your Death Will Be Most Celebrated)
I’m coming home!
God, I’m coming home!
To awaken the depths of blood
To shake the rot from these souls
In the event it all turns to shit
I’m preaching the words
“Don’t let’em get away with it”
It’s eye for an eye
A tooth for their claw
Our teeth to bare
And we’ll swallow them fucking all
We are the Open Maw
The breath of discontent
A hymnal upon the lips
That starves for selfish men
The airy space between
Resolve and fate
That the false prophets
Have systematically detained
We are the Open Maw
We shall swallow them…
Chorus
Breath deep
We are the voice of a God
That they have always feared
Breath deep
We are the wrath of a God
That they will come to fear
We are the Open Maw
The breath of discontent
A hymnal upon the lips
That starves for selfish men
It will be our choice
To take mercy
It will be our choice
To redeem
Chorus
Breath deep
We are the voice of a God
That they have always feared
Breath deep
We are the wrath of a God
That they will come to fear
Breath deep
Breath deep

Big Bang
(Over at the Hadron)
To let truth be told
I’m quaking in my boots
At the thought of black holes
Revealing themselves
In the expanses of this old land
Speaking rhetorically,
Is it possible, for a second,
That some things were simply
Meant to be remained unseen…?
Imperial conquests in white lab coats
To deny and divide a natural world
Of all its order and all its life
To entertain the human mind
Chorus
Big Bang!
In Hadron’s ring
Big Bang!
For humanity
Big Bang!
It’s the God Complex
In sordid methodology
It’s the big bang
That’s necessary
For us to eclipse
Our Mistress’ might
Rock the foundations of existence
So that we are the center
So that we are life
(It’s the skin of God they want
A suit of hollowed flesh
Of creator’s might)
Chorus
Big Bang!
In Hadron’s ring
Big Bang!
For humanity
Big Bang!
It’s the God Complex
Existing abundantly
Big Bang!
It’s the big bang
That’s necessary
For us to eclipse
All of life
Rock the foundations of existence
So that we are the center
So that we are life

Image of Modern Man
(The Chemistry of Confounding Life)
At the center of a Holy Mess
We encase the realm with pavement
Scheme, breed and shit
And then feed off the dead
Then, we’re to be delivered
To a Promise Land
That holy tomes had said we’re owed
To just do it again
Chorus
So whistle while you work
And then shuffle home to bed
Pry open God’s empty stomach
Lay down your tired head
It’s in your Destiny
To shit out 2 or 3 kids,
Remove yourself from the world around
With a car and mini-mansion
This is your empire
This is your carved slice of the earth
This is what you’re owed
So stand tall and reach
From sea to shining sea
And envelop everything
Chorus
So whistle while you work
And then shuffle home to bed
Pry open God’s empty stomach
Dreaming of the life you live…
(With your feet
You walk on the backs
Of an entire world of indigenous meek
Your legs tremble
Standing always attentive
To a system perpetuated
By greed
This chest and arms of ours
Is the blood and brawn
Of a continuing slave world
And this head
Is what convinces us
To never give a damn...)
