Rising tides ebb and flow
Eroding the base of our monolith
Pack it with sand, prevent collapse
Limbs so brittle, they crack in the breeze
Frail hands grasp for safety
Clasped together in prayer for salvation
They will be crushed by the coming waves
Open your mouth and breathe in the salt
Let it fill your lungs and stop your heart

I am submerged in it now
I can feel the wind leave my lungs
Chest cavity tears open
Maroon drapery falls about my form
Just reach out and grasp it
Put it back into my veins
Squeeze
Until it's taut
Then release and let it flow
A distant vision implanted still
The Citadel stands strong against the bloody sky

Descent

As I stare into the blackness below
I pause to reflect on my reasons for being here
Standing at the precipice changes the perspective
The crushing weight of the journey
Changes the tune
I only hope I can survive this excursion
A leap outward from introversion
Behind me stands the citadel
I am ensnared by it
I am coaxed by it
But it must not halt my progress
The time has come
There shall be no more delays
There is only path left
Descent
I may return to the surface a new being
Once I have descended into the dark depths below
I must not open my mouth
Must not allow in the salt
Must not let it fill my lungs
Must not let it stop my heart
My one desire
To see another sunrise
My journey is over
I will ascend
There is only one path left for me now
Ascend

As I Die at My Desk Dayton, Ohio
Progressive Doom/Sludge/Post Metal from Dayton, Ohio.
As I Die at My Desk recommends:
Decay and Other Hopes Against Progress
by Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean
One of the heaviest, no-holds-barred records I've heard recently. The power in the riffage and vocals is something to behold.

What Passes For Survival
by Pyrrhon
Brutal, disgusting, mesmerizing, oddly listenable. This record provides for one of the most absolutely bleak and destructive albums available.
go to album
Given that Jaws is a favorite film of mine, it was obvious this would be a contender for top record for me. Very well-written tunes delivered with hectic intensity.
