Track Name: Ye Who Enter
The temperature rose, I arrived and the record will show
That the men that opposed made placenta explode
I went through the hole alive and let it be known
That scriptures said I'd lift my leg and put my scent on the globe
See destiny told an embryo he'd eventually grow
And comfortably get the role of an elegant soul
discrepancies posed a threat and his enemies chose
To fill his sentence with woe and kill the messenger slow


He kicked the oven door with his teeny foot
To remind mom what her inner demons cooked
She was cursed with the space that the fetus took
By the same voice that made his vessel breathe and push


The usual wheels began to spin and would choose to fulfill
The fate placed on the face that the uterus spilled
The fluids concealed the world's fire and brimstone
But also hid the glory he desired to bring home
The trophies on his wall hid and masked his success
And were hoping for his fall even after he leapt
The canvas was swept clean of his passion and depth
And after that breath, every moment has been sandwiched in death


He kicked the oven door with his teeny foot
To remind mom what her inner demons cooked
She was cursed with the space that the fetus took
By the same voice that made his vessel breathe and push
He kicked the oven door with his teeny foot
To remind mom what her inner demons cooked
She was cursed with the space that the fetus took
By the same voice that forced his vessel to breathe


He was certain to die, a month early and her cervix was wide
cut with the knife that parted the earth and the sky
The curtains were tied closed, but the drapes were enough
To start his day early as they left the stage in a rush
He was made up of love, hate, anguish and lust
Thrust with the force that made his mothers navel erupt
He felt pain on his butt saw his cable get cut
And the wardrobe to his home get stapled and shut


And she said hello baby boy, what a beautiful day it is
Hello precious boy, what a beautiful night
Hello baby boy, it’s a beautiful morning
Hello precious boy, it’s a beautiful life
Hello baby boy, what a beautiful day it is
Hello precious boy, what a beautiful night
And this worthless kid arrived in the morning
But only came cause he didn't see a sign or a warning
Track Name: Night Ferry to Dieppe
And they told me that when you stand facing night
you can't chase the light, a man stays and fights
I could and would risk war with karma
but what good is good when there's chinks in your armor
and these forces wont yield, they'll torment my shields
and bribe rust to devour the sword that I wield
All sorts of concealed monsters weren't under my bed
but tracking the blood that I've bled to govern my head
So suffer the dread instead to come with the dead
This space in hell is the place to watch your comfort get shred
Satan fell, I expected his tumble to spread
Nothing that's said can dissuade a jump from the edge
you can't seek an easy route when you battle this rare
Chance and despair that should have deprived Samson of hair
There's no mantra or prayer, or dance to repair
The hamlet compared cowardice I happen to wear
My sleeves are stained by the pain stitched to the cuffs
Wrinkled by luck that left me on the brink of the cusp
I'll clip my wings and dive off, but there's a rope around my neck
And somehow It's still managing to keep my heels dangling


And they told me that when you stand facing night
you can't chase the light, a man stays and fights
I could and would wage war with cowardice
what good is good when your efforts are powerless
The planet spins if I stand or sit
And the breath of avarice will blow out my candles wick
And after this clash of wits with the path I've paved
I'll have to save this famished face before my caskets laid
And that's the way I'll try to polish this tarnished frame
That sought to change my pictured life into a ball and chain
my targets frayed, these setbacks determine
if my heart displays this red badge of courage
I can't walk away, I'm a masochist
This craft is pricks jabbing bricks with their shattered fists
But my drive's been tampered with and my engine removed
Severed and used to give my inner enemies fuel
My integrity's bruised, with no sword to fight the bull with
Just a barrel in my mouth, and the might to pull it
To bite the bullet, then chew to the sound of the gun
Then fall from grace, because what they say won't allow me run


I can't run or hide terror will chase me
so I've come to ride this ferry to safety
though these crumbs of pride have kept me afloat
the sun will rise with time to lessen my hope
I can't run or hide, terror will chase me
so I've come to ride this ferry to safety
though these crumbs of pride have kept me afloat
they fell short, there's no buoyancy left in the boat


And they told me that when you stand facing night
you can't chase the light, a man stays and fights
I could and would hope this could prevail
But I can't seem to catch the wind in my sails
