Where Fallen Stones Lie
06:27

A stone
Carves a trench in the loam
As it rolls down the hillside
It lies
Above the rocks on the ground
And it feels so high to be on their bones it don't know it's fallen down
It wanted to rise above it
It wanted to rise above it
Where is it now
A role
Remains unplayed
It falls by the wayside
It hides
By a river bed
But you don't see that the waters rising up above your head
You thought you would rise above it
You said you would rise above it
How could you have known
We thought you could rise above it
We thought you could rise above it
We were wrong
With the sight of a thousand years
And the sum of its rains and its fires
All clues should be left behind
But all will be pieced back together in time
You worked your life to be a stone
You didn't know
The culling from sacrifice
Defeated once
It feeds off the sorrow
The tragedy is what you loved
The pieces are breaking apart
In your hands
We are ruins

Fog Of Words
04:11
|

All these trees fall silent
Releasing their steam to the wild
A burnt eye wakes up
A cold eye blinks out
I saw it traced in the sun
To fall out of me in the lies of war
One eye sees you part
One side leaves while the other falls
You gave my life its lease
And stole in among us like a fog
One eye reads your bones
I fling my tea leaves to the floor
For lacking peace in life
And for little reason you sell my trial
One lie freed you
One more'll see you rust
Listen to leaves falling
Amid the silent calling
Impossible to think that
They understand my words

The low light
A dull fire
And wonder where
We are
The dark dies
Before your eyes
We see all before us
So far
Never let 'em tell you why
We are weak
We've taken all the light and
We will be seen
Never let another lie
Brush your flame
There is no wall before us
Keep your fears inside
We're bright enough to send our light
Far away
Long enough to save your
Soul if you believe
Will you let us take you on
This headlong run
We should have plenty of time
You'll see we are wise
Come to me
Delusional
Maladroit
I crave to feel your skull
On my
Dripping tongue
We all have our false lights
Nothing will change
No matter what you say
Its luster can not die
We all have our false lights
Nothing will change
No matter what you say
Its luster can not die
We all have our false lights
Can't help but show me
Nothing will change
No matter what you say
Walls that are not walls
Its luster can not die
No bitter array
Who comes
Who will paint these walls
To the delight of all
And surprise of none
I wait
For whatever you'll give
You have earned
The gift I give you
In answer to your light
The candle dies
To give what light it can
Showed us a way
To cross a lake
You can see it all before
Your eyes
One more try
And one more lie
Please take this fire
Away from us
One last breath to blow
This candle out
Walk on
In inky cold black
You cant ever know
Your small fire
Could light an inferno

On The Threshold
04:46
|

|
You open the door
And behind you
There is nothing but time
You open your eyes
And you take all you find
And it has taken you
You open the door
And beside you
There is no one this time
You open the door
Uninvited
And still you step through

It's waiting for us now
But we can't
Flush it out
In the moonlight
It's awake
Without a sound
It won't try anymore
Til we've given up
It'll stay
Gone to ground
With it's lambent eyes
Pierce the night
Without a sound
It's getting colder out here
Will you walk alone
Turn your back
From the wall
Does it stalk you now
Feel the breath
From its throat
It's getting hotter out here
The wind clears out the fog below
What lies in the grass by the water
Will you die when your heart explodes
Whose eyes will witness the slaughter
The winds clear out the fog below
What lies in the grass by the water
You'll die when your heart explodes
Whose eyes have witness slaughter
All the midnight sounds are flying
All you leave behind
A false peace betrayed by silence
Could it be someone
Why did you come out here
What did you hope to find
Why do you walk out here
All alone, are you alone

Asshole Sun

Are you a god?
Don't talk to me of patience
I've waited all this time
Don't talk to me of penance
When I haven't done the crime
Don't lecture me on empathy
If you will not hear my side
You tease your thoughts on righteousness
But they always come out wrong
Diseased your thoughts on punishment
But they get you what you want
You feed us on these moldy seeds
And tell us to grow strong
Consequences and loss
You're denying you've been lying
The infancy of a cult
Chewing hard on this illusion
Your soul is a secret
Til feet are held to a fire
Pull hard to deceive them
Dig deep to bury
What you're working for
You can't stop us from trying
You will always be seen
All you say is disputed
You can't stop disbelief
You can't stop us from trying
You will always be seen
All you say is disputed
You can't hold our belief
I grab ahold of light
I move no more
Pour it to the dirt
I watch it run
Ware not this river
At your own risk
Lest your foot falls in
Do you know why
They say that
You can't stop change

Where Stone Birds Fly
15:45
|

Let the mirror lie
Glisten with what I won't see
Cracks spill into my whole being
Let the lesson fail, to my cost
Let the feathers flail, suffer me
Accusations fly
Wing on what I have heard
Light filling this silent scene
Let illusion sail from my chest
Let the sirens wail, endless
Fly
Unfolding wings to
Fall
Fly right through you
Glide
Soaring, touching
Down
All that rage
Fly
Summoned here to
Fall
See right through you
Die
Falling, clutching
Down
All that rage
We were stone
All along
Fly
Unfolding wings to
Fall
Fly right through you
Glide
Soaring, touching
Down
All that rage
Fly
Summoned here to
Fall
See right through you
Die
Falling, clutching
Down
All that rage
Complications die
Fallen from leaden skies
To slip into your mind
Leave the reasons behind, in starvation
Leave the seasons to die, in fire
See the reasons why
Confessions from the outside
Crashing inside
Leave the flock riled, in dissention
As the stone birds fly
Gods
Reach down their cold hands
Grasping
To pluck out the words we have left

Deadpan Deviltry Hayward, California
While Progressive Rock at heart, Deadpan Deviltry veers into the realms of extreme metal on somewhat regular basis. The dynamic, non-standard compositions often weave unexpectedly through different moods and genres and feature introspective lyrics that focus on our personal fears, the lies we trick ourselves into believing, and the justifications we sell ourselves. ... more

Good, solid Doomy metal that doesn't fall into the trap of reusing the same tired riffs that pervade the genre.
