lyrics

Thud,
The fading heartbeat of a dying whale
A sound that chases sleep forever
Deep into the stomach of the waves
That cradle a titan in its rest
A calming veil that guides it from the flesh of existence

Fathoms of night sweeping into closing eyelids
A final rush of blood runs through abandoned veins
In silence

Atomic tectonics
A final repose
Carbonic reclamation
Respiration slows

Devoured
Digested
And reconstituted
Jawless necks which resurrect the future

When something colossal dies
The presence it leaves behind
Resounds in the echoes of the dust of the depths
Of the world it lived inside

The worms that find their purpose
In the bones of the dead
Who build skeletal cities
Continuing the thread

Atomic ghosts
That shimmer in the dark
The echo of existence
As the fragments drift apart
Forever

Atomic tectonics
A final repose
Carbonic reformation
Respiration slows

Reborn in leeches
A continuum
A root that springs in tangled strings
Of equilibrium

When something colossal dies
The presence it leaves behind
Resounds in the echoes of the dust of the depths
Of the world it lived inside

Our movements when in life
Merge with wider tides
In death we live within those things
In whom our bones reside
In life
