Abintra is dead!
Go ahead and look
Scream for Forsaken all you want
It's you who's been forsook
But we can always look back at the great times we had
Like riding in a limousine, yeah that show was hella rad
Hey check out these- the only keys on this CD
Originally performed by Chad
Now by our ex-drummer who can never play bad-ly
I miss the days of high school bands
When we at least had pretend fans
Who only came to drink and fuck
And do other bad kid stuff
Unbittered the sweet memories
Of shows at studio Kiki's
We're gone, but we do miss ya
Long live Ab-goddamn-intra!
John, Jody, Dustin, and little old me
Viggi, Eddy, Timmy, Tommy
Boner, Andii, and briefly Chad
That's every member that we ever had
We played here and there, but mostly here
I swear to god one time I heard some people cheer
We played a show in a barn in the rain
We made tens of dollars, that shit was off the chain
South Park stole fish dicks from us, I swear
Check Youtube, all the proof is there
Also notice our long flowing hair
Metal kid lame lookin' losers and we didn't care
(Solo by Tyler Hendricks)
We'd love to do a reunion show, somehow some way
I'd love to scream these words right to your face one day
Because..

The Lack There Of
04:13
|
|||
|
Inked in blood..
Beauty in the eye of the beholder
And now I'm seeing ghosts when my eyes are closed
Yesterday won't die, tomorrow won't approach
So I begin to question, was beauty ever here?
Because I'm weaker, wiser- with nothing left to fear
A picture's worth a thousand words- every one a lie
A eulogy for memories that long since died
Inked in blood and on the floor, an epilogue of my mistakes
It is final, I have failed, and it will haunt me to my grave
So I begin to question, was beauty ever really here?
Beauty
I've walked, I've walked a thousand steps
So that I may sleep tonight
Tomorrow shall stand
In place of the lack there of...

All She Wrote
04:19
|
|||
|
Empty words scratched in the skin of hope
And that's all she wrote
Unfold the creases and unfold time
Sixty two reasons in silence chime
The hand who wrote these lines- this intricate design
Sixty two suns ago would be found in mine
Your promises turned to lies
Your affections turned to goodbyes
What's the point of words if words are all they'll ever be?
(Solo by Tyler Hendricks)
I'm to believe that beauty is only skin deep
But she always finds her way inside of me
Finally I see the end of our endeavor
Began long before she spoke of forever

Our Last Memory
03:27
|
|||
|
Time gave birth to man, man conceived time
Infinity will bring the end of time
These gears will never rest
Time- each gyre another step
These gears will never rest
Each gyre another step into eternity
Collapsing on itself, substance shall perish
Tangibility ceases to be
These rains will never dry
With each sand another dies
But our mother need not cry
The suns that set seem to never forget
As years digest, undying vistas as the only witness
This vacuum plagues each man
Will we be again as we began?
Time sewn a mortal seed whose harvest we must bleed
No ears will hear man's plead, our fate has been long decreed
It seems the sun has forgotten, this is the end of the line
It seems the sun has forgotten, we have run out of time
Our last memory
These gears will never rust
As we do what we must
This hour each man dies
But our mother need not cry

Universal Metal Song
04:06
|
|||
|
If words once chimed beside these notes
They've long since faded in the mist
Left no trace of what they had said, or that they even exist
Nebulous at best in our minds, no resounding echo to find
A faint glimmer all but reminds, so I'm left in a bind
Perhaps the greatest phrases ever spoken, sung, or scribed
Perhaps profound wisdom that would improve anyone's life
Perhaps direct delivery, maybe in intricate rhyme
The only certainty is the answer is lost to time
The only thing I know is that I don't
The thing I hate the most is that I won't
Even etched in stone
The meaning is lost if the context is gone
The gist resists, exists withdrawn
(Solo written by Eddie Collachi)
In dreams and memories things past will live again
The answer, as the question, will surface from within
I know that what I seek is deep beneath, in there somewhere
And if it's on my deathbed I will find the truth I swear

Demise Without Decay
04:15
|
|||
|
I look into her eyes, this night has come too fast
We fall in love again, this time will be the last
And we will never know what we could have been
Because despite our lies, we know this is the end
Nothing should end this way
Demise without decay
Tonight I closed my eyes, this night forever passed
I fell in love again, and suffered every last
And I will never know what I could have been
I will not pursue closure, there is none in this end
And as the final words fall from her lips
I can only follow her script
"I'm so sorry..."
What a backwards world where love's just a word,
But goodbye destroys your life
And what a backwards world where those closest to us
Are the ones that hurt us the most

If Ghosts Could Speak
03:44
|
|||
|
What lies before me? A mission failed
A voice silenced and eyes veiled
Unwritten verses, an untimely end
One last burnt bridge that no man can mend
I watched the riptide as you crossed the Rubicon
I watched the riptide as you crossed the Acheron
I watched it all go awry
I watched you die
What lies before me? Remnants of your fugue
Is this the peace that you have pursued?
Hope misplaced- promise misused
I was wrong to expect more from you
And in your final hour, as the curtains closed
Did your eyes finally open to the end you chose?
|

Bloodlust
03:31
|
|||
|
Blind conviction at my core
Left me collapsed here on the floor
The heavens above I watched each night
Left me relapsed, besieged in spite
Impervious, you've no remorse
For the agony that you enforce
Adamant heart, you've no hindsight
Of the sheep you keep from sleep each and every night
Surrounding by night
Judgement shall be my light
I'm haunted by your ghost
No longer shall I be your host
I gave you my heart, made you a god
Inscribed your name with my own blood
The time has come for you to reap this seed
I want to see you bleed
I draw your blade for this, the attack
Gilded with blackened blood from within my back
I rid myself of any remorse
Now that she rides on the pale horse
Fleshed forever is my hindsight
My line in the heavens above that I will watch every night
You've been dethroned
You have atoned

Forsaken
04:54
|
|||
|
Oh, the disillusion, you plead the words untrue
But our last sand has fallen, the end accrued
I don't deserve the words you have spoken to me
I am unworthy of the feelings you set free
Feeling as one
Feeling undone
I left you forsaken, and now you lie crestfallen
I ended forever when seconds began crawling
I cannot remember when passion did ignite
For I feel nothing but apathy on this night
You lie there leveled, swallowing the pain
You lost the universe, I had nothing to gain
I don't deserve the tears you have shed in my name
I'm unworthy of the years each day became
Forsaken on this night

Riddle
04:07
|
|||
|
Architect of existence
Creator of all we know
Not the ink but the canvas itself
Three hands that rarely agree
Still they flawlessly guide me
Cures our wounds but corrupts our health
Today is memory
As good as yesterday
You take yourself away
Destroy yourself
X's cross each of the squares
Uncaring, and often unfair
Cruel in its consistency
Dissected, and each part named
Though each part seems apt to change
Greater than a thousand seas
You divide eternity
You define eternity
(Solo written by Andrew Viggiano)

Eyes are Blind
03:55
|
|||
|
Blind
Gods walk among us, wicked all the same
Divine, they beckon those that lack a name
Her eyes echo mine, I am unchained
Oceans so bleak, so numb, I feel no pain
In her eyes I can believe
In her eyes I am deceived
I'm falling victim to this leech
Misguide my mind
I cannot let my vision preach
For eyes are blind
Assume that I could make the tides turn
My heart mislead, but nostalgia burns
If I could have what I so desire
I know that I would burn within its fire
I won't crawl back to you, back to that baneful blue
I won't crawl back to you, for this longing is untrue

A Bitter Eulogy
03:43
|
|||
|
So many times I've come so close
To burying the hatchet, to letting it go
But I will hold it within my hands
In case our paths should cross again
The whore that you've become
Killed who you used to be
My final words to you
My bitter eulogy
I hope you die before I'm gone
So I can watch you die alone
So many times I've come so close
To ripping the knife out from my back
But I will leave it within me
In case I should commit to the attack
To think that those lips once lied excited rhetoric
All they're good for anymore is starting shit and..
It's not enough for you to never forget me
I hope you hurt every single time you dream

Killing the Night
04:24
|
|||
|
In my hour of desolation salvation came to me
In the form of a war-forged hero, or so she claimed to be
An alliance for now, unanimous decree
Others had paved the way, yet still she stayed with me
Now hand in hand we spill our hearts
We kill the night as we make our art
And though I cherish the time we share
She must conceive the truth I bear
We sit alone, together, under silver suns
We sit alone until all of the night is done
Midnight long gone and she remains at my side
Rapture's been here for way too long
I cannot conceal this, she must conceive this
Now hand in hand we kill the night
I cannot stay, cannot remain
I must go away, cannot refrain
This is not our time, we cannot fall to love
I cannot be the one, only one of
I sit alone, in the cold, under silver suns
I sit alone wondering "what have I done?"
With hand in hand we killed the night

This Abyss
04:17
|
|||
|
Twist of fate, now I could forget the past
Know the mirth of a new day, but seasons died way too fast
We passed by Autumn, vermilion cast everywhere
The timber so beautiful, but now it stands grey and bare
We passed by
Death has done us part , frozen my heart
Ice ran through my veins, winter now reigns
Twist of fate, now I shall forget the last
And embrace this barren earth that came to be all too fast
We passed by moonlit nights, for a new sun has risen
And cleaved through petrified limbs, salvation from my prison
We passed by
Now I love her for she's all that remains
Restraint shattered, my mind under disdain
Now I love her for she's all that remains
But I question will this accord maintain now?
I am infected now, for she holds my love
And any time she'll pull the plug
My feet so careless deface any remains
But the forgotten, they do not know their pain
Fallen like sands, the leaves- razors, they cut my feet
Force me upon my knees, enlightened as I bleed
Now I love her, though she has left my side
Eternities subside within her tide
Now I love her, though she has left my side
Left with neither when I could not decide
I lie forlorn, deserving all of this
What went amiss?
I have earned this abyss

December Sleep
05:01
|
|||
|
I've arrived
Seeking disillusion, searching for conclusion
In the black, they cut through, brilliance I never knew
As every sage prepares the stage
Sunlight won't bathe this snow for the weeks to come
My mind is racing as my body grows numb
Bitter winds bring with them this biting cold
But I'm embracing watching this night unfold
Everything is as it should be
Blessings answer my pleas
The answers to all things unknown
Written for me alone
And although I have found my own demise
I am content underneath these tranquil skies
In death I think not of last goodbyes
In bliss I close my eyes
I've arrived

Abintra was a metal band based in Pelion from 2007ish to 2010ish, or something like that. This page exists to host "Greatish Hits"- a compilation of rerecorded tracks that were made to showcase just how talented I believe we were.
