lyrics

Beyond the runes, there was a terrible stretch of land, pulled apart, drawn and quartered.

Shards of earth jetted up like a spread rib cage positioned around a pulsing light, fully exposed to the smoke and soot swirling above, as if vultures circling a carcass. It felt like an impression of humanity etched on the face of eternity, giving the impossible to comprehend a familiarity, even if only a morose one.

As I approached the distant gore, I couldn't help but think about those back at the encampment. Those who felt ceaselessly content with what they see unfolding across our land. There was always some declaration of a great plan from a great man, an absolute truth that required no further investigation.

Here's your wild west, it mustn’t be tamed, ruination be damned. I guess their treasure is in heaven...

My chest hurt in its presence, it felt like with each step closer I was opening up as well, the black soot an analog for the pressures of modern living swirling around our consciousness, ever present.

No, we don't want to die prematurely, no we don't want to live without the ability to travel far and wide, no we don't want to exclusively hunt and gather, but the idea of losing this only true, observable connection with our gift, this body, this creature for the simple err of impetuous hubris feels...

Tragic.
