The Times They Are Decaying

by Ophidian Forest

on Plains (2010)

Layers earth 'neath golden feathers
Witness change perpetual
The fossils grow embraced by stone
Solidified and eternal

The times they are decaying
The times they are
The times they are
The times they are decaying

The voices of the void
Command the muting of the mutants
Suffocated by time's passing
And stagnating ignorance

Actions of the wicked
Are remembered evermore
And atrocified each atom
Burnt and branded to the core

All senses shall be guided
To a maddening confusion
Immersed in a miasma
Of a torturous illusion

The times they are decaying
The times they are decaying
The times they are decaying

The struggle 'gainst unwordly platitudes
And vile mindcrimes
Trapped in the vicious cycle
Hidden 'neath the veil of times

Behold the bones and touch the abyss
Guided by decay
Gaze into it and be gazed at
Enwrapped in sheets of clay
Enwrapped in sheets of clay

The times they are decaying
The times they are decaying
The times they are decaying
The times they are decaying
The times they are decaying

Caressing jagged teeth
And clutching, clutching at the straws
The flesh soon to be vapourised
Subject to nature's laws

The body slowly vanished
Save the feathers of the soul
Beneath the orange glow of dusk
We witness change perpetual

The times they are decaying
