Gyroscope

In Flames

Geology is digging through my brain 
A manta engulfing the world 
To throw it up once again 
To a guild of lifted daggers 

Neo-wolf, but older again 
Than the Lupus itself 
Linked its fur to the Gyroscope of time 
A collection of failures 

A diabolical sequence of stabs 
Written in cutting stone 
From the fossilized den of thieves 
Our lives die 

Neo-wolf, but older again 
Than the Lupus itself 
Linked its fur to the Gyroscope of time 
A collection of failures 

I see the nursing all mother 
Spitting out a trail of termites 
In the mouth of her first born hope 
With smog-filled rebellion 

Apathy dressed in violence 
White, insectoid legs 
Curse her lips and her mouth receptive 
Only to pain 

Neo-wolf, but older again 
Than the Lupus itself 
Linked its fur to the Gyroscope of time 
A collection of failures
