1.
Bound by Earth, carved in stone Serpent tongues speak the words Heed our call and live once more Guide us through this sea of worlds Awaken now, the spell be set Blood-smoke bellows, fill thy chests Break free of the mountain womb Gather your strength, vehemence soon The weak genuflect in houses of prayer Their alters speak the name of another Their steeples now your abacus of pain One by one their souls entwain Your elephantine hide meets futile throws Whilst tornadic death your breath doth blow
2.
He left for the mountains today Consumed with grief He'll make it go away He will Abandoned all he loves all he hates Ascended to the cliffs where he waits He's still He will And on his way down He reaches to the clouds Praying they would cry for him And the whistling wind tells him goodbye As the sun breaks through the sky The rocks below wait with a grin
3.
Dust 05:48
She is everywhere In the skeletal trees The blossomed bones The salted silt She remains in the air It's hard to breathe Heaving coughs of dust The skin, electrified Again she appears Black is the sky Showered in suffocation She opens the eyes Unwraps the skin Revealing our future Erased between Heaven and Earth
4.
Alluvium 08:27
Such haste makes a man grow weak Deaths like these, the incipit They turn and stop as they wait to speak Words choked away Rain again Such a futile attempt to disturb Steadfast the torrent They dive for answers The sordid sand shows its breath With little left unsung The dying tides of clouds retreat As heaven turns Tallow feeds the wick again The hungry tinder shakes The lies of time are sheep again As the Earthen Bard awakes
5.
Wintress 06:43
So Cold She slips past wooden seams As her icy breath blows across the plain Her frigid fingers caress the field Calling earth to sleep Mankind versus winter Encapsulated in glass The rest have been put to bed Her test we'll fail She answers no questions No response to pleading shivers Frozen to pieces Shattered by life She is relentless
6.
Sheathed in this cave Peel the parchment from these bones Taken from warmth Abandoned in darkness Never a shadow Never the sun Inseminated anomaly Fed from the floor Fermented in filth Broken in faith Never a shadow Never the sun
7.
Aegrus 05:06
Fever breathes the sickness in Exhaled chills as death begins Heart valves race as pressure goes The mind's eye dims as darkness grows Dry these veins Vessels grip Bleed this pain Future stripped Death brings you down to your knees Pulse slowing as the body pleas Muscles constrict, senses stop Holding on to every drop

about

"LUNGS - An assault of bare bones low-end brutality interrupted by moments of syrupy sweet emotional drivel."
Robert - Maximum Rock and Roll

“These sounds are strange... They are strongly impregnated an introspection and a solitude, the trance and hypnotic calls which are intermittent by the fury and a hysterical despair...”
Gnom - Metal Centre

“Lungs does leave me wanting to hear more, which is always a good thing. Hopefully, I will not have to long to wait.”
Bob - Scene Point Blank

“ Hailing from Minnesota, Lungs are a sludgy, down tempo, post rock/doom band that would fit nicely on Halo of Flies Records, next to a band like Northless.”
E. Thomas - Teeth of the Divine
