Mammoth Lineage

Shake off your arrows snap your spears
Cut new canyons with my tears
Recite the litany of my sorrows
My yesterdays drown out my tomorrows
My memory is older than I am
I remember dawns that I've never seen
We all enter this world filthy
No one exits it clean
Shake the ground with my footsteps and you run from the tremors
But you can't run forever
Blow the trumpet of war to signal the start of the dance
And to give you a sporting chance
Past generations cry out for blood
I cannot forget
The sins sewn by your fathers
You will reap before the sun sets

Kodiak

Sitting here awake
Grown to monstrous size
Driven to desperation
And unwilling to compromise
You claim a right to this mountain
You build shelters from the snow
But I will tear your walls asunder
When the North wind blows
Unsleeping
Half blind
Pelt the color of rust
And blood on my mind
Once I lived a normal life
Slept soundly through the Winter nights
But the wound you dealt me
It set my brain alight
Now I sit here in my den
Starting out through the blinding snow
Once I might have made peace with your presence
But now you have to go
Head throbbing
Behind my dead eye
I sharpen my claws
Blood on my mind

Ode to a Hero Rat
04:37
|

Perk up your ears
Strike a pose
Catch the scent
Follow your nose
Into the fields where no one else dares to go
Amongst the relics
Of past strife
You move boldly
Larger than life
Cutting through the tall grass like a knife
They hang a medal around your neck
It's only fitting that they show their respect
Point out the danger
One more time
One more success
One more mine
That someone you've never met once left behind
Keep at your work
As your fur grays
Count up your victories
Count down the days
Until you retire to bask in well-earned praise

Steed & Serpent
04:11
|

Once I bore you into battle
You rode high in the saddle
Once your foes knelt before us
Now we've joined the infernal chorus
Brought low by your betrayal
As if your fate could be derailed
I'm naught but bones when you return
Now I know you'll never learn
You kick my skull and out he slithers
The fatal bite he delivers
I watch you writhing on the ground
Your mouth moves but makes no sound
Your loyal friends they watch you die
Empty eyes toward the sky
None can save you from your fate
But they express their grief and hate
Take up the serpent death's humble pawn
Crush its skull all players gone
When you take your final breath
We complete the threefold death

Anteater Aspect
03:12
|

I make my solitary rounds
Keep my nose to the ground
And when it's time to rest
Scratch out a rudimentary nest
I'm not interested in fighting
I can barely move my jaw
But if you back me into a corner
Prepare to meet my claws
I've been alone most of my days
Personal connections tend toward decay
Maybe I just haven't put in the effort
Maybe I can't see past my own hurt
I dig holes to reach the water
That can't make its way to the surface
Maybe you'll find one when you're in need
Maybe that's my only purpose
