about

Before the Word, was the Myth.

As the inevitable heat death of the cosmos looms ever nearer in spacetime, life, in all of its myriad manifestations, faces a choice between a relative eternity spent watching our universe die around us, on the one hand, and the bitter, animal struggle against the eventuality of our own deaths, on the other.

The Word is passed down to us through a kaleidoscope of synoptic voices. Each Apocrypha reveals a new emotional subtlety, a depth of sonic experimentation, and a grandness of scale to the known world—the Myth—the Zeroth Canon.

lyrics

deep down
you go
follow whispers
and oh you wonder

our weapon’s greater in the darkest shade
the drapes are drawn
when the ghosts are gone

I hope that you can fall for something
will you stop at nothing?
I can’t take this away
when all you wanted was to be haunted

you’ve destroyed all you know
now you’re holding it tighter
trying, and fighting to let it go

your fall is mine

let me catch my breath
my mind, it’s race
it runs a thousand miles at once
and pulls me under

forgive me my apathy
but given all I have seen-
I hail from wars
behind that crown

then they lifted you up
now you’re higher than us
too afraid to come down, down, down
so he pled:

headstrong
foolish like a king
so glorified
oh
you dare reconcile
with blood still on your hands?
don’t call it justified
no, your fall is mine

your fall is mine
