This is a song about a planet some believe exists just beyond our solar system called Nibiru, or sometimes Planet X, something I'm very interested in. It is supposedly four times the size of Jupiter and rotates around the Sun in much more oblong shape than the other planets, so it only comes near Earth every few billion years. The mythology behind it is very interesting. Some believe it is what we call heaven, and that all the Gods and angels of different religions come from here, which explains why Gods are often depicted or described as descending from the sky. Others believe it to be the reason the dinosaurs are extinct; that it came into our atmosphere and because of it's immense size, caused a pole shift that in turn caused major natural disasters worldwide.

Anyway, that's where this song comes from. The lyrical pattern and flow of it is inspired by the band Ghost's album Opus Eponymous.

NIBIRU

The grounds shakes
And tsunamis
Turn the sky to sea

Humanity makes
It's last scream
Before it dies

Is it God?
Is it Satan?
Is it an astral outlaw?

Nibiru
It comes to our world
Nibiru
Our lives, they comes to an end

Religious
Men, they all pray

But our species
Is extinct in a day

Is this punishment?
Or just nature, with no intent?

Is it God?
Is it Satan
Is it an astral outlaw?

Nibiru
It comes to our world
Nibiru
Our lives, they come to an end

Tomorrow
Earth is desolate

But one day
Evolution begins again
Nature with no intent

But astronomy, like history repeats
And Nibiru will again spell defeat
For future beings

Is it God?
Is it Satan?
Is it an astral outlaw?

Nibiru
It comes to our world
Nibiru
Our lives, they come to an end

Living a life of a dead sort
Knowing if fate asks, I've no retort
'Cause these secrets I'll never tell
I'll take 'em with me, even if that means taking 'em to hell

Dieing a death a lively sort
Only planning for tomorrow as a last resort
'Cause these lies are the kind that should never see sunrise
The light of day

The light of day
Does not belong in my cave
Amongst the rocks and suggestive cave-paintings, to which I've become a slave
The light of day cannot save
Me from dieing in the dark
Even if the stones I pitch in anger-like apathy, against others spark
The fire that comes forth will too be dark

And still there can be no Sun
But will be snow
Of colors white, brown, green, yellow
That blend into a deceptive sort of gold
There will be snow
And rain to wash it away
A strangely beautiful scene
Fitting of my final day

ONLY NOW I WONDER

I've been walking for eleven months straight
Going to a place that may not exist
Tempting time, only because it's more forgiving than fate

Only now I wonder where I'm going
Only now
I wonder what this trek was ever about
I've seen the same tree sixteen times
And only now it registers that I might be going in circles

Halfway through the journey, I surmounted a cliffside
And felt that salvation may exist
But looking back, I'm pretty sure I lied
To myself, that there ever was a wall of rock to begin with
There was indeed a wall, but of black diamond
It's truly impossible that I could've overcome such a monument

Only now I wonder what I'm proving
Only now
I wonder what those pipedreams were all about
I've lost myself, my way sixty times
And only now it registers that I might be going in circles

With regards to the OP, perhaps you should reconsider the following lines:


Why would you want to devour a piece of shit?

Although I dig the way you rhyme it with "solicit".

Sljslj

Lol. I never thought about that. I always appreciate any criticism, but I'm long done with that lyric; moved on to bigger and better things.

Well, to be quite frank, I've only just noticed this thread and I now have several pages of lyrics to read through. I'll try and say something useful here and there!

Sljslj

Sounds good. Not alot of activity in here lately, so any criticism or conversation is definitely welcome. Hope you like what you read!

I SAY

Hating, when anyone else would love
And I'm fading, out of the minds of everyone
They've all had enough

I say I'm growing
Say I'm doing fine
I say I'm happy
Say my head's in line
Why can't I say I'm lieing?

Shooting, for a life where I'm done
Done losing, where anyone else would've won
Wondering, if nothing ever is enough

I say I'm trying
Say I'm confident
I say I'm okay
Say I'm not scared
Say all this bull**** I say
Why can't I say I'm dieing?
And why can't I say I don't really care?

Arachnoid
Hiding in the void
Between two realities
In your faux
Serenity

Little boy
Hiding with your toys
Between two fading lifetimes

Is this where you intend to end your journey?
With all the questions in your head still burning
And all the cogs left eternily turning
Only to produce another line of dust

Arachnoid
Don't you see
Don't you see you've destroyed
Everything you've fought for

Open your eyes, don't you hide
Between these things you'll never find inside
Your faux serenity

A short poem.

NONEXISTANT EMOTIONAL GRADIENT

Your pain doesn't pain me
And it doesn't mean I'm insane
For if I'm to live another day
There can be no sympathy

Death doesn't phase me
Seeing you on your deathbed
And I'll react as if you simply told me it's raining
I just don't have the capacity to care
And you wanna ask why, but you don't dare

How does one come to be
A demon, born unto sheep?
How does one come to be
A demon, born unto sheep?
A demon, with nothing greed

My nonexistant emotional gradient
None can stand, but you'll never hear 'em saying it
'Cause they'd like to see some humanity in me
But I'm afraid they're looking for something that cannot be
