lyrics

Behold the risen
Long gone yet awakened
As they usurp
From the oceans, trudging onward
Now look beneath you
The pale abyss awaits
The starving, maddened
Life, death, all the same

These blackened waters
Stare back, all revealing
Their past and future
A mass churning with froth and salt

Forgotten kingdoms, forlorn realms
In mere passing
Arise from their grave, a reckoning
Skies are splitting, as is the sea
Ancient horror
Imprisoned in these depths longingly

Banished to a damp tomb
Unbroken hibernation
Unknown depths, past all light
Darkened crypts permeating
Sightless plague, blinding rage
Jealousy, extirpation
Loss for words, beyond form
Possibly impossible

Behold the risen
Long gone yet awakened
As they usurp
From the oceans, trudging onward

Face the sea, endless wrath, rebirth
Life from past demise, walk once more
Forgotten creatures march onto our lands
Reclaim, leeching pests
Restore what was once their darkened domain

With their last breath we'll rise
Drowning in blood as we've
Drowned in their filth like waste
In reach of our last siege
Possession of what has always been
Our birthright deserved
Penalty for their reign

Tainted rivers, poisoned wells
Our consequences
Long awaited justice, tribunal
Tidal waves, crushing sludge
Our kind rising
Our ascension unseen from black floods

Banished thoughts of salvation
Clarity, so sudden, as alive from death
Scars turning into ravines
It's all sealed in ink and blood

Rot 'neath waves

If you told me that Dischordia shared members with Dysrhythmia I'd believe it without checking. Angular, dissonant constructions that give no fucks about human enjoyment. I need more. Ghuughra
