[Verse 1: Steve Von Till, Dave Edwardson & Scott Kelly]
The cycles they are clawing
Thrive wander then starve
The cycles they are thawing
Dive wallow then freeze
The cycles they are clawing
Thrive wander then starve
The cycles they are
[Chorus 1: Steve Von Till & Scott Kelly]
Silence
Ripping up through the cracks
The thriving of the doomed
Before the cleanse to dust
[Verse 2: Steve Von Till, Dave Edwardson & Scott Kelly]
The cycles they are thawing
Dive wallow then freeze
The cycles they are clawing
Thrive wander then starve
The cycles they are thawing
Dive wallow then freeze
The cycles they are
[Chorus 1: Steve Von Till & Scott Kelly]
Silence
Ripping up through the cracks
The thriving of the doomed
Before the cleanse to dust
[Post-Chorus: Steve Von Till & Scott Kelly]
Rise run feed ripen
Wound wither fall rise again
Run feed ripen
Wound wither fall rise again
Run feed ripen
Wound wither fall rise again
Run feed ripen
Wound wither fall rise again
[Chorus 2: Steve Von Till & Scott Kelly]
The cycles they are
Taking time by the forelock
A chronology for survival
And a wretched end for the pathetic
[Post-Chorus: Steve Von Till & Scott Kelly]
Rise run feed ripen
Wound wither fall rise again
Run feed ripen
Wound wither fall rise again
Run feed ripen
Wound wither fall rise again
Run feed ripen
Wound wither fall rise again
Run feed ripen
Wound wither fall rise again
Run feed ripen
Wound wither fall rise again
[Instrumental]
