Here are the lyrics to the upcoming TABP song Truth Becomes the Teeth. By far the darkest Ive written, but they are exactly what The Aurora Borealis Project is supposed to mean to me. The translation is Northern Lights which I have I always associated with God. So to me a huge part of this project is finding Him. And that means directly dealing with some uglier questions of faith. I have to be able to at least face them and consider why if I am to truly claim this is my belief system. This song specifically may turn some people off. (The producer and I were barely able to complete tracking at points). It is about a friend (and is written from her perspective) of mine who was raped by a leader of a traveling choir that was supposed to be bringing all of these blessings with them for every church they stopped at. She was unable to process why this was Gods will for her and shortly after killed herself. This song is not intended to be a celebration of the heaviness of the music or song. It is meant to make you feel (and me) uncomfortable. And to bring to the forefront the question, or at least the issue of why would God let this happen. Thanks for reading. The song should be done in a week or two with mixing. Truth Becomes the Teeth Under a cover of darkness The Blackest being Eyes filled with blood From a gaze under duress Her gyrations are controlled by the pain The taste of refusal overcome With pleas lofted to no one A revelation of heavens presence Wrapped in perditions embrace Tearing flesh with a held down neck Screams fell silent There is no one to call to this is the divines hand for me I am no longer conscious of hope Labored, slow breathing I awake to the pain And a void of consciousness From reverence to reality I reach for the blade All that is left for me is to penetrate deeper than he did I am conscious of the sky But i no longer wish for my destination
