Blight

When the blood finally comes, let it sting
Pumped to the surface from eons, seething
This rising sea, breathe in, bleed out
A billion souls the cost of doubt

First time you feel alive
Is right before you die
Worst time to be alive
Survive to see the night expire
Look out, my soon to die
On lovely blackened sky
Sing fever into every man

Oh, how I loved them, these dying lands
Oh, how I loved them, killed by guilty hands
Worse beyond the fate now set and immersed in
Writhing in the fire are seers and curses

Your future fated with lifeblood, irrigated
This shell I leave behind gently becoming alive
Offered to those below
Fossil earth extends her home

First time you feel alive
Is right before you die
Worst time to be alive
Survive to see the night expire

Settle to the bottom of a world immersed in flame
Upon a pedestal a treasure that invites our fury, emanating
Carving out a vision in the sediment to stay
Beyond the generations that will simply die and fade with age

With no more life to kill
Your heart, it loses will
Unsated, failing, falling fast
You turn your own to glass

You turn your own to glass

First time you feel alive
Is right before you die
Worst time to be alive
Survive to see the night expire
Look out, my soon to die
On lovely blackened sky
Sing fever into every man

Oh, how I loved them, these dying lands
Oh, how I loved them, killed by guilty hands
Worse beyond the fate now set and immersed in
Writhing in the fire are seers and curses

Destroy
