Vengeance Speaks

Hear our plea
Show your presence
Born of flame
Sons of Aaron
Lift this curse
End your silence
Hold your judgment
for the foul and cruel
We’ve seen dark angels
spread their wings
Elucidation
burn the sight from our eyes
Beneath the endless sky
Lightning bends the knife
We’ve witnessed seraphim
draw water from a stone
Lift your chalice
Quench our thirst
When the righteous
come crawling past, they’ll beg to you
No one offers prayer
when mouths are full
Till the cycle of toil returns
When the cycle of toil returns
Come to us
Moving like rivers flowing
Someone calls out
Spirit takes a hold
“Turn your hearts or face the coming storm”
Vengeance speaks many tongues

You ask of its name
R’lyeh
You ask of its name
R’lyeh
Long before the fall
A city out of reach
Somewhere for the Masters
Nothing for the thieves
You ask of its name
R’lyeh
You ask of its name
R’lyeh
We don’t ingest the body
(we are not your makers)
We don’t imbibe the blood
Veering toward the rapture
Epiphanies withstood
Long before the fall
A city out of reach
Somewhere for the Masters
Nothing for the thieves

With the leaves around you
In the autumn air
There’s no sun arising
Just the warning of the crone
“You will know me by the night.
Waves erupting, consuming light”
With the sin that marks us
When the mind’s alone
In a valley of denial
Something flowing deep inside
Ever growing appetite
Exhale warm breath
Exhale warm breath
With the leaves around you
In the autumn air
There’s a closing circle
Symbiosis of a kind
Now awakened to reside
This controlling parasite
Guiding this flesh
Exhale warm breath

Far from home
Drenched in rain
Hopeful still, this escape
Choices made
Come what may
Thought these woods
Would keep me safe
Tendrils wind, obfuscate
Shelter wrecked
All in vain
No supplies
Foraging
All the doubts now to face
Spores drift past, beckoning
It’s easy to ignore hunger’s pangs
When the forest floor becomes your grave
Body still
No more pain
Face in shadow
Hidden by the day
Red eyes glow out beyond the lake
Consuming all, mycelium partakes
Transforming these remains
Lifeless shell will rise again
To roam the earth

Tattered Sails
07:24
|
|||
|
Unfurl the sails tonight
Tattered, lost and white
Pull the ships to rest
Drag them to the depths
Now capsized by the squall
White horses lay the pall
The sirens’ song is sung
Inviting everyone
With summer in the wind
The silence of the shore
No solace on the way
Calls from below

Everyone, All Alone
06:35
|
|||
|
Everyone
Everything
The end
Stalking us
Everyone
All alone
Everyone…
All of this
Fleeting glance
Whirring past
On and on
Everything
Everyone
You feel it coming soon
You see its glow

Elegy
05:00
|
|||
|
Nothing left for us here
Want to rise above
Marched for days
Struggled enough
Eaten from within
Inside, so hollow
Crying for the ones who left the world behind
You said you were the one to guide the way home
You said everyone would walk beside you
But aren’t you the one collapsed on the field?
Aren’t you the one left to die among the reeds?
Calling your legions to fight amongst the fray
Giving their lives
The waste, the shame
Ride out
Head out
Searching for home
Ride out
Head out
Searching for home
Just yourself to trust
Take it slow

Turned To Stone Chapter 8: The Wake
by High Desert Queen & Blue Heron
supported by 392 fans who also own “Vessel”
It should be no mystery at this point that I’m a total simp and stan for Ripple Music. I love the “Second Coming of Heavy” split series, and the “Turned to Stone” series has somehow been even better. High Desert Queen’s debut album was a blast, and they’re somehow even heavier on this than ever before. And Blue Heron absolutely kill it as well. Dynamite performances all around.

Spaced-out krautrock and dizzying drone from this Irish band that packs a punch—the sound of being caught in an asteroid belt.
