Boat 02:48
Nobody knows what they look like The mirror turned, would you laugh at that too? You’re a dissident You’re a walking crime You’re a vessel Mother to no one Mother to that Mother to statues Mother to the rats As we approach A new Continent So full of hope Would you conquer that too? You’re the conqueror You’re an act of fate You’re the agent Father to no one Father to death Father to monuments Father to the rest You can’t buy silence You can’t stop time
2.
Kingdom 04:18
Read the silence to write the story In the future, only glory Will we make it our kingdom, or will it rule over us? All these monsters, lurking, hiding All the bones we’ve left behind them Will we make it our kingdom, or will it rule over us? You’ve found a beast whose darkness you can’t own
3.
Motherland 03:40
All of these years Still the ghost Still the one child You hate the most In your silence We contort The loyal bastard Has no choice Motherland, how dare you? With your crest With your sword With your blessing I’m reborn Every promise That you broke Every child You gave the world Motherland, how dare you? You give birth to shadows, it’s dark inside your womb The only future is never, the past is just too full
4.
The South 05:02
I never expected this mouth to hold so many secrets The south will return to reclaim its original darkness You’re blind but you see them, their membranes, their transparent figments I never expected them to take back the original process The south The Thunder God is angry and anxious to see us all drowning These fact vicious worms will be wiped off his kingdom Emerge through the pavement their faces or dry clay and ashes I never expected these eyes to see so many horrors The south
5.
Take away your shiny spear and join the Godless enemy Your soul is lost, your fear is lost Everything that you once built, empty walls and empty guilt Your soul is ours, your fear is ours Damned by the men Damned by their love This is our land Where we shall rot Every man will disappear in the Southern hemisphere Your soul is lost, your fear is lost Every name will be consumed, we will never hear the truth Your soul is ours, your fear is ours Damned by the men Damned by their love This is our land Where we shall rot
6.
Centuries 05:37
Here’s your cross and here’s your rag Here’s your God and here’s your flag Here’s your infant split in half One part’s yours the other mine You’ve been silent for centuries Staring at yourself Here’s a shattered piece of glass Here’s your future, here’s your past Here’s your infant burnt alive His soul’s yours, his ashes mine You’ve been silent for centuries Staring at yourself With the mirror we gave you Staring at yourself
