Silence falls on fallow lands
Where boundaries are all blurring
A silence not of slumber pierced
by cries of infants stirring
A man dressed in robes of white
Approaches from the darkened gloom
Idly passing corpses in
The streets that have become a tomb
A warning rang out
Like a shot in the night
Alas it fell upon
Deaf ears
Like fuel to the fire
Breath wasted on denial
Serves to ignite our
Deepest fears
Waiting transfixed at the threshold
Confined by our conscience unable to act
Stymied each step by executive ignorance
Hopeless to separate fiction from fact
Our crisis of fate has not been averted
It's toll amplified negligently at best
Evidence disregarded and experts ignored
Have allowed the plague rats to infest
A warning rang out
Like a shot in the night
Alas it fell upon
Deaf ears
Like fuel to the fire
Breath wasted on denial
Serves to ignite our
Deepest fears
Silence falls on fallow lands
Boundaries blurring in the gloom
Pay respect to fallen friends
The streets that have become their tomb

Bloodless

The fading sun, low in the sky
Shadows extend, twisted awry
Faces of fear, that horrify
How can I look them in the eye
A silent scream, a wordless cry
All logic lost, nature defied
Clutching at the chest and stiff with rigor mortis
(but the) Calm upon the face is certain to mislead
Lacking the lividity anticipated
(so we) Cut into the sallow flesh to see them bleed
...But they don't bleed, they are bloodless
Dusty and cracked, and crimson red
The desert sands on which we tread
This barren wasteland, smoldering dread
Within the veins that once had bled
A cracked and crumbling, dry river bed
Eyes plastered open, already dead
Clutching at the chest and stiff with rigor mortis
(but the) Calm upon the face is certain to mislead
Lacking the lividity anticipated
(so we) Cut into the sallow flesh to see them bleed
...But they don't bleed, they are bloodless
Deeply deprived sins un-atoned
Your heavy head sinks like a stone
A smoking gun white knuckle gripped
The trigger finger, that never slipped
Our judgement day is now at hand
Waters arise consume the land

Odd Man Hypothesis

Tossing and turning and losing sleep
Unsure how I found myself so deep
Holding the key but suffused with doubt
Why am I labeled the odd man out?
Cut adrift contemplating my mortality
Fall beyond comprehension of reality
Search for more explanations anywhere
Stave away machinations of despair
Cover up my face from fear of casting
this spell upon the world
Disengage, break from society
isolating the affliction
Terminate, eradicate the strain
interrupting its mutation
Tossing and turning and wide awake
Unsure how much more my mind can take
Holding my tongue unable to shout
Refusing to be the odd man out
Cut adrift contemplating my mortality
Fall beyond comprehension of reality
Drawn into resignations shrouded snare
Stave away machinations of despair
Cover up my face from fear of casting
this spell upon the world
Disengage, break from society
isolating the affliction
Terminate, eradicate the strain
interrupting its mutation
Cut adrift contemplating my mortality
Fall beyond comprehension of reality
Turn towards obligations unaware
Stave away machinations of despair
Cover up my face from fear of casting
this spell upon the world
Disengage, break from society
isolating the affliction
Terminate, eradicate the strain
interrupting its mutation
Dousing and burning the bridge behind
Indifferent to my own decline
Turning the key now there is no doubt
I am becoming the odd man out

How can we disinfect the filth of life, of human flesh
The skin that boils with staph and spoils,
The scabs to pick, nails bitten to the quick.
Enough to make your stomach turn, enough to make you sick
The body once believed a temple built on hallowed ground
A penitentiary of sludge within which we are bound
How can we sterilize the contents of our tainted veins
Without inadvertently extinguishing the flames
Disinfect the wretched husks into which we are born
How does one look upon oneself with any thought but scorn
The dirtiest cesspool of waste in the known universe
Flesh liability until lain dead inside a hearse
Desperation sets in common sense becomes neglected
Malady less lethal than the disinfectants we've injected
Madness has galvanized pursuit of remedies obscene
And nothing trumps the misuse of hydroxychloroquine
Disinfect the wretched husks into which we are born
How does one look upon oneself with any thought but scorn
The dirtiest cesspool of waste in the known universe
Flesh liability until lain dead inside a hearse

Wildfire

|

Blazing like wildfire across the blackened sky
The iron of our desire begins to rust
Fatal miscalculation no time to wonder why
Cause of decayed rotation a mote of dust
Initiate the protocol
Self-quarantined within these walls
Isolate isotopes unearth the root our only hope
Dowse the flames
Extinguish that which can't be tamed
Suffocate
Dispossess the lies that fuel the hate
Forgoing inoculation in favor of lies
Missing the queue until too far gone to recognize
Ivermectin won't protect you from what you deny
A stain on the world undeserving of care as you die
Forgoing inoculation in favor of lies
Missing the queue until too far gone to recognize
Ivermectin won't protect you from what you deny
Gasping for breath, bitterness and regret
Un-vaccinated your fetor a threat
A stain on the world undeserving of care as you die
Dowse the flames
Extinguish that which can't be tamed
Asphyxiate
Dispossess the lies that fuel the hate

Don't assume invaders hail from distant realms
Roving creation to rain infirmity
Straightforward answers are often the least likely
explanations for the phenomenons you observe
Primordial entities exiled to the exosphere
Millennia passed in solitude before they reappear
Hostile environment forcing them to adapt
Metamorphosis time it's catalyst preparing to attack
Arrogance delivers bittersweet reward
Icarus's lesson callously ignored
Wings intact but bearing our infectious seed
Engineered advance becomes our worst misdeed
Assumed a harmless passenger, on the journey out benign
Beset upon by radiation, in the freezing grip of space
Altering it's very nature, mutating and biding time
Malignantly does it return, to humanity's warm embrace

Spread

Torrents of foul congestion weirs choke and overflow
Preposterous suggestion the seeds the pundits sow
Begrudging isolation wracked echo chamber walls
Spoon fed misinformation the dissonance appalls
Caught in the flood propelled careening toward the falls
Programmed to please and pander the algorithms fail
To honor truth and candor the charlatans prevail
Sadistic sick alliance behind a baleful cause
Buffoons denying science to thunderous applause
Visage laid bare contagion spewing from the jaws
Vile disease borne on intelligence defiled
Deceit beyond all recompense
The toll untold
The liar that sold our soul
extolled the ire that spits and spreads death

Scared to Death

Virulence attacks through the lungs
Bloodstream beset by mephitic infraction
Arteries clotting and choked
Evisceration by a rapid reaction
Internal bleeding suffuses the brain
Disrupting synapses to drive you insane
In to the core face the strain
as the poison enters the
veins paralyzed out of time
and the pressure begins to
climb from the depths of the void
turn the key or else be destroyed
Sore distended lungs, hyperventilate
Alkalitic blood keeps the putrescence at bay
Ulcerated guts, liver functions shot
Acid pumping heart slows the toxic rot
An alcoholic's vice, a screaming baby's breath
Bound by circumstances - scared to death!
In to the core face the strain
as the poison enters the
veins paralyzed out of time
and the pressure begins to
climb from the depths of the void
turn the key or else be destroyed
