At a Distance - V. Terra Incognita Lyrics

They find themselves in a barren land
Covered in ashes

What have we become
We are only silhouettes
Shadows of our ingenuity
Beauty escapes us
Now that we only gather

The sea breeds poisoned brine
That eats at our flesh

Life has long since migrated to lands far and distant
Under these ashes are the remains of modernity
Are there others?

Come closer and let me feel the comfort of another

You feel cold to the touch...
Milky white is the color of your eyes
Lips black and charred
There's a stench rising
Sweet and sickly
Come closer and let me feel the comfort of another
As you satisfy this hunger...

Are there others?

Panic strikes as the footsteps approach closer
Heartbeat races as the gnashing commences
Rivers begin to flow
Tearing limb from limb
This is a feast like no other before
In this barren land of ashes

Come closer
Let me feel the comfort of another...

Hands lay bare and bloodied
There's a warmth emanating from within
Through the clouds peeks a star
Distant and neutral
As I exhale my last
I can feel the rising tide taking me...
