Tide

(album: Välde - 2021)

Let it happen
Don't drag this out
It's been long enough
We are many enough

The pendulum swings
The flesh stretched thin
The tide pulls us back
Into the depths

Enough time spent
Enough lives without worth
Enough seeds sown
Into the worn out earth

The flesh stretched thin
Legs bearing no weight
Left, only sterile remains

Sentience, a commodity
An ever-declining value
Insignificance
Expendable

Build the shrines
To monument your own passing
Prostrate yourself
Before this ruin amassing

Let this happen
It's been long enough
This place is a cage
Don't you see its bars?

Enough time wasted
Enough life created
Enough water flown
Into the river we drown

The flesh stretched thin
Legs bearing no weight
Left, only sterile remains

The tide pulls us back
Into the depths
Let it

The tide pulls us back
Where we belong
Let it
