Devoid Of Thought

Devoid of thought
A hollow mind, meaningless, distraught
Mental rot
Loathsome, lost to decay
Devoid of thought
Empty words drip from our tongues
Mental rot
Twisted delusions of apathy
Searching for significance
Return to understanding
Cast away your restraint
Discover the meaning held
Devoid of thought
A hollow mind, meaningless, distraught
Mental rot
Loathsome, lost to decay
Devoid of thought
Empty words drip from our tongues
Mental rot
Twisted delusions of apathy
Searching for significance
Return to understanding
Cast away your restraint
Discover the meaning held within
Searching for words filled with significance
Return to a state of understanding
Cast away your restraint
Discover the meaning held
Discard your delusions
Embrace what you feel
The meaning you seek
Will soon be revealed
Lost in significance
Devoid of thought
An uncaring mind
As apathy wrought

Contagion

Peering out into this world, consumed by death
Choking on the blood expelled, with gasping breath
Plague destroyed all that we know and all that we love
What did we do to deserve death from above?
Bring out your dead, stack them high
Light the pyre, no time for goodbyes
Bodies laid out in the streets
Victims of disease
The scourge permeates all life, prepare the mass grave
All will be claimed just the same, no one to save
Bring out your dead, stack them high
Light the pyre, no time for goodbyes
Lay witness to all the devastation
All around will cease to be
Oh, as we cry out for reprieval
Breathe, exhale your past
Afflict contagion
Eyes roll back inside your head, just succumb
Decay clings to every breath, going numb
Still some believe this will pass, we’ll live through the scourge
But faith gives way to despair, there is no cure
Bring out your dead, stack them high
Light the pyre, no time for goodbyes
Lay witness to all the devastation
All around will cease to be
Oh, as we cry out for reprieval
Breathe, exhale your past
Afflict contagion
Death stained stench to air, filling the lungs
Infection spreads within
Bodies stacked up high, too many to burn
Abject contagion
Lay witness to all the devastation
All around will cease to be
Oh, as we cry out for reprieval
Breathe, exhale your past
Afflict contagion

The Reset Button
04:54

The world stagnated and brought light to the truth
Showering with incompetence reflected in ourselves
A world devoid of common decency
Where all have been forsaken, crumbling to their knees
Break down the old stagnated
Embrace illumination
Concede so we can start again
So we can start again
Sharpened by cruelty the world cuts at those misplaced
Empathy all but swallowed and forgotten
What would it take for us to start all over?
Pick up the pieces of this crumbling empire?
Can we come together and reflect on our defeat?
Before disaster strikes again
Disaster strikes again
Can we push the reset button?
A fresh start for all man-kind
We have caused so much suffering
Can we do better next time?
Can we push the reset button?
A fresh start for all man-kind
After causing all this suffering
Can we do better next time?
Can we push the reset button?
A fresh start for all man-kind
We have caused so much suffering
Can we do better next time?
Can we push the reset button?
A second chance for all man-kind
Continuing to cause suffering
There won’t be another next a time

Light Breaks

When will I see the light again?
Forecast reality, a spirit broken
This doubt, that I have felt for far too long
Looming eternally, where has the light gone?
I feel the desperation flowing through my veins
Blood seeped in decay, poisoning
Suffocating dissonance slowly fills my lungs
Gasping for breath, I succumb
Hope fades from existence and all turns to black
Fixated quintessence wills towers to crack
As light breaks through the shadow and gives way to life
Sustained emergence of the soul and the will…
Crushed by the weight of this curse
Desperate for release, I think it will get worse
This shroud of uncertainty
Attached to all my thoughts, consuming
I feel the desperation flowing through my veins
Blood seeped in decay, poisoning
Suffocating dissonance slowly fills my lungs
Gasping for breath, I succumb
Hope fades from existence and all turns to black
Fixated quintessence wills towers to crack
As light breaks through the shadow and gives way to life
Sustained emergence of the soul and the will to survive

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.
