See Myself 02:45
I see myself inside the setting sun, Hiding my light from everyone. Horizons of darkness are what I'll become. I see myself inside the setting sun. I see myself inside the blood moon. My heart is a red cocoon. Let the fire come and find me soon. I see myself in the blood moon. I see myself in the face of Mars. Battles filling my flesh with scars. Hiding my face from the falling stars. I see myself in the face of Mars. I see myself in the dying Earth. Calling for help from my day of birth. Underestimated in my worth. I see myself in the dying Earth.

Tired Gods 03:10
You found me lost in Asphodel fields, You were the only one who knew my name. Before I could speak my plea, You told me why I came. The hours of my life were cut short, But I have so much left to do. Put me back in the land of the living, I beg you, I beg you. Oh blind prophet won't you save me? (Save me) Oh, tired Gods won't you take me? I used to think myself a hero, But my journey was left incomplete. What will it cost to take me back? I've suffered enough defeat. Can I bribe you with offerings? Can I buy you with blood and oil? I'll take the finest lamb, And give it to the soil. Oh blind prophet won't you save me? (Save me) Oh, tired Gods won't you take me?

You were promised new beginnings, The land was fresh and new. A homestead built by you, Bodies beneath. But soon the land would turn its back, Dark skies over you. As they turned grey from blue, The hunger rose. You gnaw at your wife's face, The flesh tears, the bone breaks. Your daughter is screaming, There's no redeeming. Your family lies in pieces, Your nephews, your nieces, You're covered in their blood, Standing in the mud. You can't help but to wonder, If this stolen land was cursed Now that you've seen the worst, Of what you could be. Buried in a shallow pit, Not a stone to mark the dead, Memories in your head, Flood back when you blink. You gnaw at your wife's face, The flesh tears, the bone breaks. Your daughter is screaming, There's no redeeming. Your family lies in pieces, Your nephews, your nieces, You're covered in their blood, Standing in the mud. This wretched land, Stolen from others hands, It wore your humanity down. Hungry and alone, Nowhere to call home, Everything you did, buried in the ground. You gnaw at your wife's face, The flesh tears, the bone breaks. Your daughter is screaming, There's no redeeming. Your family lies in pieces, Your nephews, your nieces, You're covered in their blood, Standing in the mud.
