Callosum
03:41
|

Through waves of dissonance, there's harmony in wake
Something's frozen me in place
I see a long forgotten face
An expression of the past
In a dream that didn't last
A mistake I'm forced to make
Or a purpose to navigate?
What is it that's pushing me?
Memory or chemistry?
Either way it's gone awry
In blood red waves, violent
A siren calls, and I answer
This spectre's got its hooks in me
And now I'm wading through a crimson epiphany
Mind split in half
Dire dagger in my hand
What's come to pass?
Take me back to understand

The Plan I Crafted
04:47
|
|||
Wisdom they say, is knowing the difference
Between what you can and can't change
A cry in dismay, a vile turn of phrase
That the world can't be rearranged
Hope stumbled in
And out the door, it's gone again
I'll see you tomorrow
See you, maybe
We're well on our way to our own extinction
So why can't I reap what they've sown
I see clear as day, soon I will trade
My beliefs for some bread and a home
Hope stumbled in
And out the door, it's gone again
I'll see you tomorrow
Turn on the light
And try to find some semblance of compassion
Or forfeit all that I know, right now
Never!
With your life and mind in sin
Sacrifice and you will win
This is not the plan I crafted inside my mind
I must suffocate this siren, it dies tonight

The Meadow
03:36
|

We've failed you
We've failed you all
What have we done to your world?
We shatter souls and twist the elements
We didn't fight, enough to right the wrongs
And now we are a testament to negligence
We've failed you
Apathetic defenders, pitiful surrender
We are the ancestors from which they will grow
Still we drown the seeds we sow
Archaic echoes dance in permanence
Our memory is a fall from grace
It's in our sight, enough to write the songs
Of how we don't deserve your praise
We've failed you
Apathetic defenders, pitiful surrender
We are the ancestors from which they will grow
Still we drown the seeds we sow
How much longer, I'm dying to know
Will the tyrants blight the meadow?
So many years later the question remains
When will we fucking change?

It's Not Coming
02:46
|
|||
I'll be letting go today
Sun is getting low
I should've known the sorrow
At the end of the road
I see you waiting for something
But you know it's not coming
Beneath a home collapsing
A moment everlasting
I remember
The feeling of the ground beneath my feet
And every step I took I knew
I'm falling through
I've forgotten how to fly
And it's a long way down
Now a mysterious world surrounds
On my way to the ground
I see you waiting for something
But you know it's not coming
Beneath a home collapsing
A moment everlasting

As One Of Your Own
04:02
|
|||
I find myself in battlefields
In wars I never meant to wage with my own steel
You've got me trapped
The gracious host of every need, so calculated
To save me from your plot of weeds
Something they see in me
I'm destined to climb up the ranks
Maybe a desperate lie
That I will believe just to flee
The terror on the ground
I can't deny the powers
This circle has provided
Discomfort be damned
Why ponder thoughts divided
I can't traverse the distance
I'd go to feed my children
Discomfort be damned
I'd sooner die
This void underfoot
I've never felt so weightless
So lay to waste this fertile land
It's now or never
I must show them where I stand
And how far I'll go
Parasitic host is watching me
And blood is flowing
To grease the wheels of industry
Take me as one of your own!
I can't deny the powers
This circle has provided
Discomfort be damned
I'd sooner die
This void underfoot
I've never felt so weightless

Disavow
03:30
|
|||
You're fucking dirt beneath the heels
Yeah, so what am I to you?
Is it justified to be so cruel?
Fuck yeah
I don't know how I would've made it out
Of the fog to where I stand now
All I was, I'll gladly disavow
There was always a little doubt
You're dirt beneath the heels of this machine
I'd convince myself there's demons at the gate
Just to preserve my humanity, it must remain
If there are witches we will burn them at the stake
It's true, I'd convince myself
For the sake of staying sane
Your judgments, they feign a solid ground
Someday soon, you'll see as I do now
Consequence will only pull you down
The meek are doomed, only to drown
I'd convince myself there's demons at the gate
Just to preserve my humanity, it must remain
If there are witches we will burn them at the stake
It's true, I'd convince myself
For the sake of staying sane

Twelve Spirits
05:03
|
|||
Twelve spirits gather here in plea
That you would cease this needless brutality
So much destruction as we speak
All to feed this fiendish monstrosity
Terror of a child echoes still
Ears ringing from the gunfire
Won't drown out the sound
I'm done following orders
You said
Shoot first, ask questions later
I think it's time we start asking some fucking questions
Better them than us
Must I remind you once again?
They're demonic husks
No soul inside to speak of friend
So perish your concerns
Deflect
Brandish your stars
Redirect
I've risen too high to be chastised by my inferiors
Twelve spirits wrought with agony
But they're complicit, is it their legacy?
They choose to bite the fist that feeds
Their memories vivid, twisted, and panicking
You've doomed us all to fates, deserving of no man
And now I stand before the lion as a lamb
Vacuous murderer, I hope you understand
The stain upon the part you've played
The poison on your hands
The blood under the sands will only fester

Concoction
03:45
|
|||
Is it ever really over?
This cascade of impressions in the memoirs
Like fault lines
You can't spit me out, I'm what you've made
Remember how we're all to blame?
Stay the course or find an escape?
I'm just what the world conspired to create
I'm counting on you, not to see it through
Look the other way, am I clear?
I'm chosen by fate, to perpetuate
The cycles of ire and fear
You can't spit me out, I'm what you've made
Remember how we're all to blame?
Stay the course or find an escape?
I'm just what the world conspired to create
With this veneer of impunity
Witness the logical conclusion
Behold

Terra Pyre Mount Pleasant, Michigan
I started writing music after being inspired by so many modern Progressive Metal bands, and I absolutely love some Metalcore flair sprinkled in. As a solo project, I play piano, guitar, bass, and vocals, and building a song from scratch with these tools is one of my favorite ways to spend free time. Ire Cycles released on April 23, 2021, and I hope to bring some more material sometime soon! ... more
