Lyrics:
1. Signals (Keiper)
Yeah. Won't you show me. Obstruct the wheel. Devastate the image. Penetrate the seal. Exclusively wrapped up, up, up. Oh it's making me feel. Little slices, they're burnin', burnin'. We still kneel. We still kneel. Perfecting the vision. Continue the sweet, sweet deal. Obsessed with all this greatness. Now I can't feel. I can't feel. Set the bounty. Burn down the fields. Goddamn this beast runs fast, but I'm right on its heals. Idols, they're fading faster. Waves of matter, exploding on. Titles we gave won't last. The strangest fact, the one that's gone, still hangin' on. Worlds exploding. Grabbing heals. Revealing inner-visions. Passing yields. Let us twist the facts up, up, up. Oh it's makin' this real. Little thoughts always turnin', turnin'. Please fulfill. Please fulfill. A living incision. Pump me up until I squeal. Am I getting better, or just learning to deal? I can't deal. Sick of counting. Expose the shields. No, I can't see your ghost, but I know how it feels. Idols, they're fading faster. Waves of matter, exploding on. Titles we gave won't last. The strangest fact, the one that's gone, still hanging on. Idols exchanging paths, repeating tasks until we're all gone. Idols, falling fast, controlling answers. It won't be long. It won't be long. My idol. Sending signal. My idol. No sig…
2. Monolith (Keiper)
Make peace with the elders. Bless the mother's word. Protecting the daughters while we navigate this earth. But labels don't matter, they pull and stretch the jaw. Let all fifty drag me back. Better start the crawl. (Blindly stare.) Fill these lungs with water I believe. (Line is there.) Take me back to your dark. Let me sleep. Relief in epic stones. I've known you all along. The tides have come and gone. Lead us to the one. Make us one. Resting under the pressure. Currents move at last. Oh, I want you to take it, but the monolith holds fast. Behold all its beauty. It shall be another's home. Until the time comes for the nymphs to bring the bones. (Blindly stare.) Lead me back to silence of the deep. (So fine, so fair.) Lay with me as the swells take the weak. Relief in epic stones. I've known you all along. The tides have come and gone. Lead us to the one. Wait, I'm breathing out. Shake, the last bit out. Down. Empty sounds. I can see everything now. I can see everything now. I can everything now, everything now. Relief in epic stones. I've known you all along. The tides have come and gone. Lead us to one. Relieff in epic stones. I've known you all along. Tides have come and gone. lead us to the one. Make us one.
