Tyrants Rise

These thieves in the night in suits and ties
Slashing at our throats with jagged knives
Wearing us down trying to kill our will
Trying to steal our breath but we’re breathing still
Behold the tyrants rise
These bastards didn’t take up arms and storm the gates
It wasn’t brute force it wasn’t blood that ultimately sealed our fate
Just the culmination of years of apathetic choices made
So pacified we failed to watch them orchestrate
These thieves in the night claw at our eyes
Gouging away until they render us blind
Wearing us down trying to kill our will
Trying to steal our breath but we’re breathing still
Behold the tyrants rise
These bastards didn’t take up arms and storm the gates
It wasn’t brute force it wasn’t blood that ultimately sealed our fate
Just the culmination of years of apathetic choices made
So pacified we failed to watch them orchestrate
These bastards walk the earth
And hell is real
I can’t believe how far we have fallen
How far the mask has slipped
Not the first time a kingdom falls
Not the last time a kingdom falls
Not the first time a kingdom falls
Not the last time a kingdom falls
The game is rigged, the fix is in
I can’t believe how far we’ve fallen
Not the first time a kingdom falls
Not the last time a kingdom falls

Sound the alarm
This ain’t the movies
This is your life
And you ain’t John Wayne
And you might not survive
This ain’t no stage show
This is for real
And you ain’t Houdini and you
Can’t escape this ordeal
Paper guns,
Broken lives
Paper guns,
Troubled times
This ain’t a fairy tale
You ain’t no knight
And there’s no shining armor
And you’ll die if you fight
This ain’t a game
Get that through your head
We don’t ride into sunsets
We just tend to the dead
Paper guns,
Broken lives
Paper guns,
Desperate times
It will be chaos,
There will be death
If you survive
There’ll be nothing left
It will be chaos,
There will be death
If you survive
There’ll be nothing left
Paper guns,
Broken lives
Paper guns,
And we’re short on time

Born upside down,
Born under duress,
Born under a bad sign,
Born into distress
I crawl in my own skin
I crawl in my own skin
This world and I don’t see eye to eye
My head and I don’t see eye to eye
I crawl in my skin
Born upside down,
Born under duress,
Born under a bad sign,
Born into distress
Distress, distress
I crawl in my own skin
I crawl in my own skin
This world and I don’t see eye to eye
My head and I don’t see eye to eye
I guess you could say
I am an outlier
I guess these days
Are a symptom of more
Sickness in my head but I can’t seem parse out
Fiction from fact and every voice is a god now
I guess you could say
None of it was real
I guess you could say it’s a sickness to live with this
I guess you could say it’s a sickness so bear witness
I guess you could say that it will be this way from cradle to grave
I guess you could say it’s a sickness, a sickness
Unmoored, untethered, it’s chaos in my head
So sore, so weathered, it’s chaos in my head
So cursed, so hexed, it’s chaos in my head
Much worse, I’m vexed, it’s chaos in my head

I Remain

Halfway done, halfway alive,
Nothing but nothing for all time
I’m a suspect in my own demise,
Nothing but nothing for all time
For all time
Rise back to sentient states,
seeing through reopened eyes,
now is our only time,
now is our only time
And if we should fall,
don’t lose sight,
that now is our only time,
now is our only time
So we rise
All that I was before I have been
is all that I’ll be when I reach my end
Though the outcome at times is unclear
I remain
I remain
I can assume that the ground was cold but can’t say that I know
I am cursed with breaks in the timeline
And there is nothing left but to rise
I can’t comfort you with blinding lights or angelic sights
Stained ground in the glow of the street lights
And there is nothing left but to rise

Given To The Rising
by Neurosis
supported by 4 fans who also own “A Kingdom Falls”
An album of the discography I astonishingly only got around to listening to recently. Crushing atmosphere with noise & ambient synth & machine led interludes that hold up on their own, even compared to those that focus on machine led genres. To The Wind would have to be my favourite track just because of it including one of the many peak Neurosis moments of long held vocal notes, beginning in relative silence around it, continuing to hold into a crushing riff and band joinance.

modern thrash with elements of hardcore. RIP Riley Gale.

A song of hellfire and void devourment. Neurosis is untouchable. If atmospheric ruin is what you desire, then become an enemy of the sun.
