SPOILERS for season 5

LYRICS:

How long I’ve had to sit idly ogling
Misdirecting meddlers to maintain the status quo
Fighting for the very thing I hoped to overthrow
At last my servitude’s been rewarded
I’m tingling with triumph that can’t be reversed
I stared into reality and it blinked first

Vigilo
Unflinching as the centuries pass
Opperior
Sipping secrets from a bottomless glass
Audio
And recording how the Archive’s grown
Vinco
I see you and you are known

Behold my new world, scourge-ruled and curse-wracked
I opened the door and the universe cracked
Behold my new world, fear-warped and hate-bent
But you have to admit, it’s a Hell of a statement

The husks of some simpletons had to be yielded
Stepping stones to sovereignty I tirelessly sought
John Does more profitable if I commanded thought
No need to grieve for their so-called existence
Call it cold but seeing the big picture’s of more use
Tempt voyeurs with vision and we’re easy to seduce 
  
PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

I knew a man who could build you perfection
I knew another who paid for his lie
I knew a woman who dodged my detection
All had their purpose but all had to die
I knew a betting man proudly Forsaken
I knew another that worshipped the sky
I raised a sucker compelled to awaken
The terrible gaze of the all-seeing Eye.

CHORUS

Behold your new King, static in my station
The Watcher’s Crown my coronation
Behold your new world, horror without abatement
It’s a Hell (x3)
Of a statement

CW: Animal death (pigs, livestock), Blood, Body hatred, Body horror, Bone trauma/removal, Cannibalism, Death, Dysmorphia, Eating disorders/ED, Fatphobia, Flaying/Skinning, Graphic Gore, Hemophobia, Murder 

LYRICS:

First a stone, then a blade     
Then a rubber-tongued mouth where the livestock are laid 
First it grinds, then it chops     
And the stunned victims quake as the guillotine drops  
First a few, then they spread     
Soon there’s billions of beasts being butchered and bled 
         
Be they human, be they swine,     
They’ll be riven and reaped on the production line  
With so many creatures cleaved     
Their panic took form and The Flesh was conceived  
    
Just a slice, just a nick
Strip the corpulent wax from the ivory wick
Just a sprain, just a snap
Each body a warm-blooded gift to unwrap
Just a squelch, just a squish
Each shift manifesting the Boneturner’s wish
 
Be they human, be they swine
There is plenty of Viscera yet to combine
Untold donors to dissect
The art costs an arm and a leg to perfect
 
Take the folds, take the spots, 
Take the rife imperfections, the marks, tags, and blots
Take the scars, take the age,
Let the consciousness split from its carrion cage 
Take the fat, take the weight
Pierce the overstuffed lump so it’s bulk may deflate

Be they human be they swine,
There are always new blemishes yet to define
Let the function of the flawed
Be to glut the great maw of our ravenous god
 
Have a taste, have a bite
Savor marrow and muscle flavoured with fright
Have a snack, have a meal,
Seasoned well with a wail or a shriek or a squeal
Have a sip, Have a swig
Drink your full-bodied fill from a bleeding long pig
 
Be they human, be they swine
They provide our communion with sanguineous wine
And the terror they secrete
Is the nectar to match their ambrosial meat

First a stone,  just a slice  Have a taste
then a blade,  just a nick  Have a bite
First it grinds,  just a sprain  Have a snack
then it chops  just a snap  Have a meal
First a few,   just a squelch Have a swill
then they spread just a squish  Have a swig

Be we human, be we swine
There is always a carnivore hungry to dine
And the terror that we sew
Is the mulch that torments the garden to grow

5. Carnivore's Waltz - A Song for The Flesh

CW: Acrophobia, Agoraphobia, Existential horror, Falling, Megalophobia, Thalassophobia, Vertigo

LYRICS:

Have you heard thunder? Real thunder?
Shaking the dirt and shattering stone
A rumble that ripples far past what is known.
Just a trivial hum for a creature of ozone 

And do you know open? Fully open?
Tracts so wide only colossi can rule
That grants liberty to we null miniscule
An absolute freedom both wondrous and cruel
 
Have you heard thunder weaken the base of all things?
Have you known a great yawn that could swallow all things?
And as it does:

A Titan sings 
And it rings
Through the canyons
Through the cosmos
In an echo without end
Forget wings
Just descend
To fall forever is to fly
Has vertigo swayed you to sleep in a limitless sky?
That infinite echo your lullaby

And have you felt height? Dizzying height?
The clime in a cloudbank’s not temperate fare
Childish notions of flight perish there
With the glacial sting from the thinnest of air

And have you seen oceans? True oceans?
What’s left of a tear only giants could weep
Plunges down to where only abyssal things creep:
In the fathomless scope of the Awful Deep

Have you felt a goliath’s breath chilling all things?
Have you seen white-capped tidal waves flooding all things?
And as they do:

CHORUS

So how could you know what is Vast?
Have you meaningless drifted in measureless space
That grows at beyond a cyclopean pace
And makes less than quarks of the whole human race?

Do you know what acceptance infinity brings?
And as it does:
 
CHORUS
