Flowers of the Earth

I stand overlooking an abyss
Created by the footprints of time
As it marches forward callously ignoring
All those little lives below
Including mine
I am only one of them

Lost
     Like tears that
          Disappear in the rain
Alone
     Like a leaf drifting in the wind
          Departed from its source of life
Pathetic
     Like a warrior fighting
          With a broken sword
Meaningless
     Like a blank page
          Drying in the sun

After all,
where would the world be if I were to cease tomorrow?
where would the world be if I were forgotten?
where would the world be if I left no mark upon this Earth?
Marching on Marching on
Never stopping to think about one dead bloke
Whom no one may remember, even if they tried
     The sands of time, they erroded his memory
     The only thing left are his bones
     And these too, shall rot
     Sinking deeper and deeper into oblivion
     Till there is nothing left

Only the flowers of the Earth mark his tombstone
And when they open their corollas
They shall speak the eulogy of all those forgotten
Only for their petals to become dry and wither away
And for the wind to carry them towards the sun

For the wind
                         To carry them
                                                    Towards the sun.

World's End

World's End In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees all die as one with humanity. Tossed into oblivion eternity of nothing thrown into emptiness. Will we be born again? The world set ablaze a fire in the sky. Inferno consumes the land All perish; die. Weep not for the critters or your loved ones. Today is the day we all meet the same fate Tossed into oblivion, eternity of nothing, thrown into emptiness, Will we be born again? In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees All die as one with humanity.

Muh Aztec Ancestors

Actually, as much as Mexicans love to believe that they where Aztecs, they where most likely the slaves to the Aztecs. Hell, they probably helped Cortez destroy Tenochtitlan. Come to think of it, the Aztecs weren't even native to Mexico. They came from somewhere up north. Utah, perhaps. They arrived, colonized, conquered,and enslaved dozens of other tribes. It was these subjugated tribes that joined ranks with the Conquistadors. So there you go. The Aztecs where evil colonizers and oppressors and the Conquistadors where liberators. Stop larping as an Aztec and start larping as a Conquistador.

Dreamhour - Now That We Are Here

Dreamhour - Now That We Are Here I first heard of Dreamhour when I listened to the album VLLNS . I think it's a wonderful album full of killer grooves and catchy melodies. My favorite tracks included "Cerebral Chase" with it's smooth chorus and both "Blood Patrol" and "Shobdohin" with its sexy guitar and synth lines. I cannot say I enjoy the follow, PROPSTVR as much. For whatever reason, that album simply didn't vibe with me. Maybe it's because the theme of VLLLNS is just way cool, and in having a cool theme, it generated cool music. What's not to like about a story involving a megacity vampire cult? We're not here to talk about those two albums. We're here for Now That We Are Here . There a few songs on this album that give me PROPSTVR vibes, such as the first two songs. Naturally, I can't fully appreciate these songs. Other songs contain quite good synth melodies, but are less tha...
