Assemblage 23 Skyquake Lyrics

Skyquake Lyrics

The morning broke in eerie silence

The ground beneath us cracked and
dry

Too self absorbed to even notice

The cracks that formed up in
the sky



Twisting 

Turning 

Freezing

Burning

Tearing 

Fusing

Lucid

Confusing

Forceful
reception

Open rejection 

Dreaming and waking 

The process is
taking too long



Take what we need at our convenience

Another
quick means to an end

Too busy thinking of excuses

For a practice
we can not defend



(Chorus)

Collapsing under its own
weight

The sky burns out

As we kiss oblivion 

Upon its toothy
mouth



Your well being does not concern us

Any worries you
must keep inside

Do as we're told without a reason

We never think
to question why



(Chorus)



We walk upon the fields of
fire

The smoldering bodies of our dead

Our self-absorbtion is the
reason

It's the gun we point at our own heads



(Chorus)
