I Have No Eye's

about

I wrote this song in homage to works of one of my favourite authors, H.P Lovecraft, which is rather ironic considering how racist he was.

The track is written from the perspective of one of the many Eldrich Abominations Lovecraft wrote about and I make many direct allusions to his work throughout.

lyrics

I can see these creatures of flesh
Wage war on each-other and express
Fear when we spread messages
Through dream-scapes dubbed nightmares as a sedative
From anti-theism induced by realisation
Higher powers hold a hellish void placement
Flee from our Necropolis
Following whims of your pathetic psychologists
Crawling chaos decays opposite to youth
So we'll drown Arkam walls with the truth
(Drown with the truth)

Human cries
I cannot repair
I have no eyes
And I must stare
Human cries
I cannot repair
I have no eyes
And I must stare

Use your strongest emotion
To craft mundane devotion
Expected as marriage and locomotion
Blind men pray to a brail canvas
At the mountains of madness
We saw them script the myths of atlas
We predate language and tragedy
Apes bowed to us from anarchy
You bow to material fantasies
Hence communication with outsiders
Martyrs as well as writers
Former bishops setting alight their mitres
Gathered disillusioned from rationalism
Exhaust every theistic and science based tradition
To turn self-sacrifice to a religion
(sacrifice a religion)

Human cries
I cannot repair
I have no eyes
And I must stare
Human cries
I cannot repair
I have no eyes
And I must stare

Keep vigils from disturbed castles entrenched
Inside isolated xenophobic intents
Gathering rain all over present tense
We are the mirror you are the participants
Find us where the sun meets the sea
Atop crumbing crossbreed legacies
Labyrinths shift views as a centrepiece
For novels compressed into fallen beliefs (fallen beliefs)
So speak in what we cannot elucidate
Our appearance so lose your faith
Imagery crumbles like followers at the stake
Craft death with agoraphobic figments we create
Power fantasies wield scientific illusions
Mercy defined as the sole sentience delusion
Divine deathtraps, convenient seclusion
Using words on canvas as deathly instruments
(words as instruments)

Human cries
I cannot repair
I have no eyes
And I must stare
Human cries
I cannot repair
I have no eyes
And I must stare
