Lyrics Tabula rasa - The Amenta

Tabula rasa

We’ll rise up to the sky
On the smoke of sirens
Countless among the stars
Of the footpaths shattered glass
Put our troubles on the fire
And they’ll burn like books
We’ll dance to the tattoo
Of a thousand erratic hearts
The drumming of heels
And polyrhythmic punches
Building’s flame’s dart
Across the angles of mask
Assimilation of the will
A N O N Y M O U S
One flicker in inferno
Finally a clean slate
Underneath all the bruising
Razed to the ground
Tabula Rasa
We’ll riot in the flicker
Of a hanged man’s heels
The clatter of nails
And spasms of tongue
Building’s flame’s dart
Across angles of mask
A S S I M I L A T I O N
An ember in the fury
Crystallized, reduced
One mask among many
Obliterate’s dissolve
In a ritual of flame
One flame in inferno
Simplified, reduced
One mask among many
An ember in the fury
In a ritual of flame
We’ll burrow into the earth
And drown in the soil
Drunken among the stones
We’ll dig our own grave
Melt the shackles from our wrists
In a furnace of fists
A flare of faceless dilettantes
A cabal without direction
Remember.
Remember
(Our features all Identi-Kit)
The fifth of November
A plot with a fucking reason
A feeling of omnipotence
In the symmetry of violence
But it binds our mouths
And pulls our teeth
We’ll skitter in the wind
In the ill winds of stasis
Formless in the meleè
Of a contemptuous mass
We are not, and will never
We’ll dance to the tattoo
Of a thousand erratic hearts
The drumming of heels
And polyrhythmic punches
Building’s flame’s dart
Across the angles of mask
Assimilation of the will
An ember in the fury
Crystallized, reduced
One mask among many
Obliterate’s dissolve
In a ritual of flame
One flame in inferno
Simplified, reduced
One mask among many
An ember in the fury
In a ritual of flame
