lyrics

The windows pass the fields again, the youth are ready to die
Fruitless grain; parchment splayed on weathered rows of pine

No one tells them, no one knows
It never rains, nothing grows

The elders pass the gruel again, the youth don’t lift their eyes
The sun’s been gone one hundred years, now sepia’s too bright

but no one tells them, so no one knows
no one bothers, just as no one bothered for them

But I know, I long; there’s something out there kept for me
I know, because I saw it somewhere buried in my dreams
Or maybe somewhere in this text we cauterized right as it bled
We just can’t stand to leave a mess, just quell the fire in our chest
Just quell the fire in our chest

Old depictions, cold evictions
Depictions on the hallowed walls suggest a former life
Much greater than a breath of cold in place of the divine

But no one tells us, so no one knows
If nothing is sacred, nothing is loathed
But I loathe, yes I loathe

I know, I long; there’s something out there kept for me
I know, because I saw it somewhere buried in my dreams
Or maybe somewhere in this text we cauterized right as it bled
We just can’t stand to leave a mess, just quell the fire in our chest
But I can’t quell the fire in my chest
Can’t quell the fire, can’t quell the soul

about

Academy Order image

Academy Order Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“Academy Order masterfully blends goth, death rock, post rock, new wave and hints of hardcore to create a special sound that is simultaneously a revival and a revolution. Though these songs sound like the work of a band at the peak of their career, one can tell the band is just getting started.” - Evan Martin-Casler, Cvlt Nation
