Delay’s Progression Songtext / Lyric

We watched rain hammer the good weather

And waited for the end to start

Sparks flew from chains dragged in servitude

Watching colours fail

And brightness turn to programmed dusk

While tears burnt tracks in cold stone

All future to disappear beneath layers of sorrow

Stone-clad solitude, rain lashed epitaph

All earthly shells divide, divide by zero

We ignored the men stamping out the future

And smiled at the cathode rays

Drizzle crawled over cracked portals to nowhere

Afraid to face the grey infiltrating our bored darkness

While rainbows feigned ignorance

All past lost in a deluge of tedium

Media driven prison, scavenger crawl

All flesh corrupt, rot to multiply






Colour washes out given time

Time awaited ticks away

Your lives lived in stolen fictions

Words of men your protocol

We shall re-tune your noise

Into a steady blast

Beating out an old tattoo

Upon Eternity's Anvil



All Father, hold fast for me!

Delaying the inevitable as seasons become as one

All encompassing winter of servitude

All is as nothing, all has nothing to become

She cried, she cried, as all summer fell

Took the Final by the scruff of its dirty neck

And flung it far into forever!



Waiting for delay to progress lost its appeal

Shifting our weight against this seasonless somewhere

Embroiled in a twisting universe simulated and unreal

The final curtain fell, and fell, and fell

Leaving cleansing, crushing darkness to fend for herself

Leached of colour, evolution gone full circle from tail, to head, to putrefaction



Starting to end all over again

The stars cry for no-one

As shades of grey become colour

We bow our heads for the passing of summer

Into darkness now, to await Sol's triumphant return



Firebrands rise!

Backlit bloodlines obscure and clot!
