Lyrics Calamus Will Animate - Archspire
Calamus
Taken
to
the
pen
to
relive
Every
identity
we
replicate
Without
will
they
live
again
within
our
intimate
collective
Animate
All
the
dead
we
bring
into
it
A
burrow
Of
human
Memory
The
pen,
the
feather
and
the
needle
are
alike
in
death
and
life
Looking
back
on
what
had
happened
When
the
the
feathers
had
arrived
I
realize
i
was
not
alone
I
can
recall
the
men
had
got
infected
by
it
too
Having
contact
with
the
foreign
components
infected
them
Before,
the
factory
was
known
to
make
The
highest
quality
of
bedding
Cutting,
filling
Stitching
fabric
with
the
finest
down
From
all
around
the
world
Yet
this
down
flew
through
our
dream
barrier
intact
Calamus
will
animate
it's
contents
are
hostile
The
A.U.M
will
kill
everybody
not
in
this
compound
The
dead
i
bring
to
them
awake,
and
join
in
flight
above
my
head
Calamus
will
animate
it's
contents
are
hostile
The
A.U.M
will
kill
everybody
not
in
this
compound
The
dead
i
bring
to
them
awake,
and
join
in
flight
above
my
head
When
the
ink
coating
the
wings
made
contact
with
the
workers
skin
It
crept
into
their
blood
turning
them
inhumanly
violent
They
grabbed
and
tore
and
bit
and
clawed
at
one
another
and
themselves
Gravity
and
death
from
loss
of
blood
had
no
effect
on
any
member
of
the
crew
During
their
frantic
battle
to
relief
their
bodies
from
the
ether
lifting
them
into
the
air
Die
then
elevate
Fusing
remnants
of
spent
bodies
Weaving
bones
and
organs
Into
an
inverted
nest
dug
in
the
ceiling
The
black
sludge
casting
out
from
the
center
As
a
starving
bird
of
prey
I
heard
it's
voice
and
felt
it's
need
To
find
the
child
made
of
teeth,
And
begin
the
human
murmuration
Calamus
will
animate
it's
contents
are
hostile
The
A.U.M
will
kill
everybody
not
in
this
compound
The
dead
i
bring
to
them
awake,
and
join
in
flight
above
my
head
Calamus
will
animate
it's
contents
are
hostile
The
A.U.M
will
kill
everybody
not
in
this
compound
The
dead
i
bring
to
them
awake,
and
join
in
flight
above
my
head
It's
banshee
wail
demanding
feed
I
hear
it's
pain
and
become
it's
keeper
I
rip
the
living
from
the
night
Like
pulling
worms
from
soil
A.U.M
Watches
these
sky
burials
Calamus
will
animate
Calamus
will
animate
The
boy
lay
like
a
wet
mound
of
dust
on
the
rotting
factory
floor
I
knew
the
black
fluid
hid
itself
in
the
deformed
corpse
of
this
child
Finally,
after
hours
into
cutting,
lifting,
pulling,
sawing,
crunching,
clipping
I
had
found
it
My
crude
autopsy
revealed
bounty
nesting
in
replace
of
the
marrow
in
the
young
ones
bones
The
second
i
saw
it,
it
saw
me
I
knew
it's
face
changing,
relentlessly
it
was
the
drip
I
had
it
contained
as
instructed
filling
up
many
clusters
of
hypodermic
needles
with
the
matter
I
adminstered
it
into
a
new
subject
each
night
a
new
life
One
with
every
full
rotation
of
the
clock
I've
seen
those
hands
meet,
then
disengage
a
thousand
times
Calamus
will
animate
it's
contents
are
hostile
The
A.U.M
will
kill
everybody
not
in
this
compound
The
dead
i
bring
to
them
awake,
and
join
in
flight
above
my
head
Calamus
will
animate
it's
contents
are
hostile
The
A.U.M
will
kill
everybody
not
in
this
compound
The
dead
i
bring
to
them
awake,
and
join
in
flight
above
my
head
It's
banshee
wail
demanding
feed
I
hear
it's
pain
and
become
it's
keeper
A.U.M
allowed
me
to
live
off
the
organs
once
the
people
took
flight
they
do
not
keep
me
against
my
will,
yet
i
refuse
to
run
Every
day
i
climb
the
stairs
outside
this
door
and
view
the
horde
of
lifted
dead
that
they
conduct
behind
the
factory
walls
I
must
hold
on
to
the
final
tier
of
focus
i
still
have
to
scribe
these
happenings
in
hopes
that
someone
will
know
what
went
on
here
I
can
feel
the
pressure
of
their
unified
unscripted
flight
pounding
air
down
on
the
floor
board,
just
a
plank's
width
above
I
rip
the
living
from
the
night
Like
pulling
worms
from
soil
