lyrics

Chorus:
See the light won’t fade on this world / see the light won’t fade

Verse:
only built 4 human ostriches /(breath) symbiotic consciousness
entangled in the consonance / we Pharoahe Monch / we monstrous()
this phosphorescence haunts us with /a universe of consequence
thoughts light up the continents / enlightened in the darkest sense a dark defenseif bears arrived in helicopters /terrified these mwafuckaz
bring tha noise: bring tha ruckus / bring the flux: bring the fungus (Merlin)
bring the storms what summons us / a being that’s thunderous
All praise the beings that’s under us / all praise this dream of otherness

Chorus:
See the light won’t fade on this world / see the light won’t fade

Verse:
Burnt my tongue on the sun again
dealin with these foolish men, hooligans
Never listenin to the long distance call
Of the fate they spin what it could’ve been
Onyx feather to wolf skin we all kin
Honest tether to origins for skeletons
Promised ember on talons for medicine
Sonic centre is woven so let it in let it brim
Let it spin swallow the end and let it /begin
To seep through your pores
Airborne spores melding with your core
See it from the shore we intercellular
Molecular centaurs my sense soar
Over forest floors and these metal wars
Looking for a branch to land on—they all gone
Weather patterns are feeling wrong but stay calm
Something like a Geologic phenomenon
Reaching for the ancient beyond to stay strong
—Come along

Chorus:
See the light won’t fade on this world / see the light won’t fade

Bridge:
We got that fanged tooth // Cloaked in the old truth
We got those slang roots // Midnight wings gonna drop the jewels
We summon those storm blues // It’ll strike you clean through
Watch how the forest moves // Midnight wings gonna drop those jewels

Verse:
we got you stuck off this alpha-helix / we be the infamous
you heard of us / quoth the raven: shit is murderous
we just some merciless herbalists / tryna merger with
this universal turbulence / this breath, this impermanence
my style keep these fowl merchants shook with nervousness
we howl at the firmament / we spit these whirling dervishes
our shit Copernicus / you’re shit is earthen terminus
y’all mumble murmurous / we some pond reflect eternalists
