1.
A crushing tide Of convulsing gyres Mass confluence Of kinetic force You cannot resist time To his, your will must bind And in its wake The earthworks quake In its wake May you tremble, shake Shelter is scarce And protection rare Step aside Yield to the tide Nothing can slow the pace Nor sorcery break the spell No walls withstand the breach Nor trunk weather the storm This cataclysmic violence Was born of turbulence Of a pregnant dissension Of primordial hatred We have tread the path The path of most resistance We shall have our day For ours is the highest law Yield to the tide
2.
What is the magical source of your power The form of the barrier warding me off Derision and laughter, a venomous actor Is hiding behind every well-meaning mask Sight cannot penetrate beyond the smokescreen Vibrations absorbed by the stillness of earth An arcane language beyond comprehension Like speaking in tongues, and confusion abounds I fail To understand Decipher The lexicon Discover The secret I wane In my Efforts To seek out the subtle Entrance To reveal The mechanism The hidden, the lost, esoteric, concealed We are the thankless The scribes of the ancients Committed to knowing Sublimest of truths We must discover Through painstaking study The rudiments Of a world that once was Unlock The Heavy Impenetrable door To usher in An aeon Lost in time An unrecognizable Celestial sky When heavens And firmament Touched for the first time

about

Cowardice presents a new EP of two new original songs written by the most current lineup of the band. This is the most professionally produced and presented piece of work from us. Tracks one and two showcase a directional shift toward a slower, atmospheric, and more despondent style of songwriting. This stylistic approach and path is what you should expect to hear more of from us. Track three bookends this EP with a cover of Thou's "Into the Marshlands" from 2014's "Heathen." This cover would not at all be possible without our inclusion of Riff Merchant Record's 2022 compilation "Heavier Than Thou," an ode to Thou and their impact on the heavy music scene. More importantly, this compilation raised money to benefit the House of Tulip NOLA, which aids in housing solutions of TGNC people in Louisiana.

This EP defines the trajectory of what will be future Cowardice releases. This is us coming into bloom. This is us coming to realization. Enjoy.
