The World 07:28
Earth and sea spinning as a myriad Of iridescent splashes of light And each thing, both so near and out of grasp As I begin my journey through the void Dissolving streams of silver space Bones and flesh and skin The iris And the world is in focus Easing the drowning and the limbs and the latch Moons, chanting and rituals The furnace, lead, quicksilver For we are reborn And thrown outside alone As if we were sick beasts But it will be worth it I caught a glimpse of you on the other side Dislocated tendrils and electric sparks In the naked truth The innocence we left behind At the beginning of the path

Maison Dieu 05:53
All the gnosis and cypher Is just a way to hide How simply it all works God is a mask Millennia of History — The mirror Endless prayers of tongue speakers Rambles and nonsense Only to get back to the first truth Willing is being An irruption of the clamor Beware of the unknown Because it is written in the uncharted space There be dragons Knowledge is the poison we're feeding our souls with Now that everything is tainted What has been birthed can no longer hold The promise of uncertainty It has been foretold Everything converges Everything leads to the same end Every journey's the same

Severance 06:38
You’re the one constant Over the variations of me With you just being here You create purpose out of thin air Extracting Condensing Concentrating the spirit Over one hot flame I’m not decent I just needed you to tip the scales I wouldn’t have settled for anything less I’ve always been a black hole Sucking you in Sucking the light out Until nothing is left but a flicker Always on the verge of collapsing us both Into the dark matter of despair You’re the one constant Over the variations of me

Up North 08:53
Beyond whatever force I may apply I can't go back and undo what's been done The perniciousness of the passing of the years I entrench myself in the same doubt We otherwise call maturity I need to go upstream With the knowledge of things to come Where everything happens at once The flesh from my limbs My fate and my doomed bliss In the infinities of the void For everything is said and done And the price to pay's too high The learnings too harsh Being is feeling is suffering Being is a transitional state From the void to the void
7.
I know it will take time Only time can heal Only time can rot What's so deeply ingrained can't just be uprooted No matter how much strength No matter how much rain and ice, and lightening There won't be any storm It's already come and gone You just delude yourself You never reaped what was laid bare You trampled it underfoot Does it matter how much shattered? How much injured, sick and helpless? You're just either one or the other And my side has been chosen for me long before you came
8.
Where are you now that I need you most I always need you most The veil of time has been dissolved A perfect synchronicity As above, so below I never chose There never was a choice I hope you'll stay For I'll be traveling the underworld I've never been what you wanted most I was only what you needed most And I can't talk to you anymore For you don't exist anymore Please don't stay away too long It was pretty pleasant while you were here With me For us both

Chains 05:27
And now we're stuck in the perpetual dusk That drenches the end of the road You meet me at the bottom This pit was always there Only a step forward to see us fall And you took my hand As I dove down And each of our wings Caught in the fire of the furnace We're on our own down there All colors have faded Into an endless gray And there is no comfort For your hands are cold as stone Your lifeless eyes in the shivering cold Ashes, ashes around us And cinders Cinders, cinders where our hearts were

Chaos 09:12
The ladder has been shattered I no longer speak in my own voice But in the clamor of those Who came before and are to come The sky descends in flames I am unmoved I can't be removed If I'm no longer there The sky flows in torrents I can't be drowned If I've already been submerged I can't be overthrown If I've already given it all The sky frozen, illuminate I'm no longer there For the sun has left these barren lands And everything's whited out down there Everything's pale The sum of all equals to white It's not purity It's the drenched reflection of our own emptiness Where everything and everyone Just exists for itself And the absence of shade Is an absence of light So I welcome you darkness The sky is gone And everything is said and done
