<b>Architeuthis</b> by <i>This Or The Apocalypse</i><br />

We're standing in water

Suppressed by man-made embankment

And you were just a channel

Heading westward from my arms from my choleric heart

>From my calm yet desperate hands

Seeking to tear limb from every second guess

With a choleric heart

Let the winds be shrill, let the water rise

And take all that's left of my own guile

We looked back towards the damage

And we were doomed to know the worst of it

By day, all our hopes, bare, swallowed whole in the brine

What of the stars, what of our kings

What of your selfish prayers for light?

Nothing yields our eastern skies

How could you let this happen?

We breathe... in darkness [x2]

And it seems while we were waiting prone

Famine had written fiend upon all our brilliant, desolated, plight [x2]

Staring straight ahead into the unmovable [x2]

Is it our pacing around the sun that made you fold your hands in grace? [x2]

Of but one thought we are now, within silence

And the waves stood dead

Reflected not the sky

Everything is still, panoramic night

I will share your grave, atop the floodwater

I will share your grave, with every throne consumed

Words unnecessary, screamed indifferently

Rings of foreign masses, dark mobility

These are the walls that shake when the earth is silent [x2]

To become passion

These are the walls that shake when the earth is silent

To become passion [x2]
