Gift of Fire
07:59
|

|
Bonfire, burning bright, billowing smoke
Circular resonations make their way ‘round
Thoughts, songs, conversations
Swept up by these tall flames
My face warmed by this central flame
My attention focused on being present
Bringing forth contributions to add to the life
My face warmed by this central flame (x2)
Flames grow high, they feed off the strong wind taking form
Air and flames coexist to create one strong front
Contemplate my surroundings, listen to nature’s song
Rivers flow, the wind blows; what I see gives me peace.

Sediment
05:14
|
|||
|
Rocky earth hardens beneath my feet
Now I stand atop molded concrete
Dead cells, old life
Compacted, form over time
My own feet part of what packs this rock
Past lives carved out, fossils reused
Engraved stone, jagged grid
Ancient thoughts, made of old life
Shells and skin compacted
Sealed in stone for centuries
Engraved stone, jagged grid
Ancient thoughts, made of old life

Drone

|
|||
|
Sun beats down on the field
Eyes scanning for new prey
Talons and wings, leathery and acute
Designed to hunt, to track down and to kill
Above the trees, a spy unknown will strike
Survey the field, my sharpened teeth glisten
The wind ensues, it whips against my face
Survey the field, my sharpened teeth glisten
Sun, it beats down
Scan for new prey

Foundation
05:42
|
|||
|
Beast has been awakened, overtaking my mind
Can’t control desires, I’ll take what I find
Obsession controls me, brain has given in
Seeps in through the cracks, crumbles the Foundation
Let my own mind succumb
Frantic grasping for what I want
Resources are all used
To further my one goal
Focus all of myself
On what I can become
Laser focused eyes, infected and discolored
Resemble no man, the beast has taken over
Obsession controls me, brain has given in
Seeps in through the cracks, crumbles the foundation
My own brain isn’t mine, consumed with who I am

Electric Sense
08:00
|
|||
|
Splitting the brain down the middle
The dominant side shown in full
Cut through the skull and membrane
Peek through the tunnels and mazes
Infrastructure is now shown
Workings of brain are revealed
Instincts are key to survival
Warn us of fatal mistakes
Old mistakes
No longer made
Ancestors weaknesses no longer mine
Carved out of old DNA
Feel eyes on my back
My sixth sense is engaged
Infrastructure is now shown
Workings of brain are revealed in full
Old mistakes
No longer made
Electric current
Runs through me
Now I see what could be
Ancient instinct
Heightens nerves
Now I see what could be
Fatal mistakes are not made
Sixth sense kept me alive today

Hypothermic Peace
11:23
|
|||
|
Frozen tundra is vast and desolate
As far as I can see, snow white and glistening
Frigid, the air chills me to the core
Gusts of wind pierce the layers that I wear
Frigid
Ruthless
Cold Air
Burrow for shelter, teeth chatter as I dig
Lurking and waiting, the cold, dark night approaches
Listen for noises, or signs of danger near
Keenly I look out, staying on high alert
Stay awake on high alert
Look out, keep still
Eyes are peeled bright peering out
My nerves heighten
No movement on the surface
I’m scared of what I can’t see
Once and for all I dig deeper
Fall into peaceful sleep.

Hidden History of the Human Race
by Blood Incantation
supported by 18 fans who also own “Grand Currents”
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
