The Palimpsest from Visceral Defects by Trauma Triad

Led to their fountainhead
Knees weak with sickness
Fearful, plague-stricken generation

Beneath the water’s finest shine
Reflects the idol of mankind
Thirsting pursuit of unity
Instead must wade through a sunken sea
Struggling! Struggling! Struggling through a sea…

...Of shit! All the masses scream in a din
Of delusion, fomenting a foul mush
That would all but make Narcissus blush
Their sight blinded by the softness of night
Neverending comfort quest of cliches
Counterfeit the bill, until it pays

All books torn apart and drowned in the muck
Set aside in favor of one
Overwritten tome which beckons to the mob
On stage, underneath the moon, there is a black page
Bleeding ink into the desolate old shoal
Congregate them all, its tale be told

'Nubile frame, silhouetted by a mushroom cloud
Iron gall, suffocating me beneath its shroud
Marble gods, sculpture sublimated by disdain
Round the wreck, boundless nothingness beside remains'

This crazed proclamation sows a frenzy
Sacrifice archetypes at its behest
Inspiration strikes you dead with all the rest
On shore, struggling, struggling is no more
All the washed up corpses and their debris
Ever lay and decay back to the sea

Beneath the water’s finest shine
Reflects the idol of mankind
Thirsting pursuit of unity
Instead must wade through a sunken sea
