pralaya

Secularism ruled the land
Politics turned into religion
The riots roared these people didn’t know
Tectonic plates were heating up
The attitude of the day was grim
People had forgotten the goal
The star of the east shines bright in the night
Blue encased in gold
Open the seals, thy kingdom come inside my spine
My central nervous system can rejoice once again with you
Bring your lamps, don’t forget the oil to ignite the flame
This pralaya is upon us my friends this is the end
Economic catastrophe
Dissolution of the world
Natural disasters, pandemic fatigue
A brand new world
Order in the court
The heavens declare
The way we live must meet its end
Billionaires will struggle to pay
the bill that is much over due
This is the end

Everything’s falling apart
Everyone’s drifting apart
You better hope to god
For an an act of god
To save us from this
They’re hunting witches tonight
On this Halloween night
The full moon shines down
Neighborhood lights out
You hear a distant shout
Everything changed
When the travelers came
Perhaps
They were already here

a new earth

The avatar will take us to the new earth
Where we listen to each other and the silence we observe
No one knows when
And no one knows why
Don’t be afraid
Open your eye
Be swayed not by the enemy’s lies

12roots Albuquerque, New Mexico
I fell in love with the sound of bands like Rancid, blink-182, and Green Day when I was 11 years old. Since I was 13 I've been writing my own music. My recording skills and access to equipment was virtually non-existent until I was about 18 years old. I am now 25 and just starting to get the hang of recording and producing quality sound. ... more
