Fathom

lyrics

Cradled in the arteries of life
sleeping entity awaiting to rise
mindless victim set on procreation
a cycle of life beginning to spin

as the light fades and the shadows grow
a life form enters the world
broken free from its imprisoning shell
bound to an endless journey

The yolk enters the frying pan
depleted of nutrients

an impurity among life
clogs the lungs short of breath
water to blood death to life
become a new, become death

entering a vast body of life
Plenty of life in this world
to consume, to be destroyed
energy stored, waiting to transform
complexity beyond fathoms
pressure building autumn is neigh

instinct will deliver us home
instinct will deliver us home

the blood begins to thin as the path is traced
returning to the heart of life
procreation makes fools of us all
giving life to birth another
