Kindred 04:18
Entangled in the roots of time Buried far below It’s lost to time and left untold It ascends, raising from the ground It yearns for a passing gaze, forgotten and alone Come to me to seek your fate The crack was as loud as thunder in the sky A looming image brighter than the sun, meridian Buried far below It’s lost to time and left untold It ascends, raising from the ground Come to me to seek your fate
3.
I am of you, you of me Together until the end Parasitic mind, humankind The greenest earth reduced to grey Shrieking away, roots in agony But I don’t mind They’ve had their time Let the forest fall
4.
I’ll build you a new world Raising spires from the ground Corrode all that’s left To inspire exaltation A new Earth for us to burn Remnants of life wither away Fissures form beneath decay Deep hum of spikes and chains Now only we remain A new world for us to burn Buried beneath all my past failures, To forget is the only way from here Rearrange my brain Rewrite my memory Drill into my head Make me forget
5.
6.
Eyelids like gates Open our mind to the temple Marching forward Whirring relic Whispers the way to the end Breathing in the dust Of all I have lost Pistons fire No emotion, no desire Wading through coil Sinking in stride, bleeding oil Severed body and mind Breathing in the dust Of all I have lost Hands form hooks to claw skyward Sitting on my throne I can see death manifesting Vines and leaves have stoked the furnace I would end it all if I had control Cold dead world "As I sit in my tower of exile The world has moved on Morals are my weakness Only the scum survive"

about

Bones of the Earth Fayetteville, Arkansas

Bound by a mutual love of medieval fantasy, sci-fi, and a desire to create uncompromisingly heavy music, BONES OF THE EARTH was forged in 2018 and released their debut concept album, I. The Imminent Decline Of Human Spirit in 2019.

II. Eternal Meditations Of A Deathless Crown is a continuation of that saga, offering a glimpse into the cold, dead world in which the chronicle takes place.
