Tracks 02. Pagan Dawn
03. Mysterium 05. Ecstatic Rite 06. Arctica 08. Beyond The Magic Forest 10. Behind The Void 11. Renihilation 02. Pagan Dawn
A cascade of lightning startles the firmament
A thousand black hooves clatter Upon the mountain Grey plume of dust Red flag of blood Blue shining blade of sky Spark with no cause Wound with no sword Fresh skulls and supple bones Golden helm of radiance The incantation uttered by no one The call to arms from nowhere The message from the clarion Resounded across deaf hills Men awoke And sprayed their blood upon the earth Spark with no cause Wound with no sword Unseeing eye Blood mixed with blood 03. Mysterium
O sail of skin tumbling in the air
Blowing anywhere O absent law Chattering useless teeth Secreting quiet sweat Mysterium Mysterium Mysterium O mirror that does not reflect O fire that illuminates nothing But itself O shadow of what never was But seems to have been And to have been lost Mysterium Mysterium Mysterium 05. Ecstatic Rite
And the yoke weighed heavily
Upon the neck And the tractors placed their tracks Upon the cowering soil The arrow cast The bow pulled back The arrow cast And the chains were linked to other chains Forged obliquely, freeing no one and everyone Ecstatic rite Divide the father Ecstatic rite Divide the father From river to sea The waves sing and shine Untrained, unrestrained Desiring nothing From hill to vale Form gives way to form 06. Arctica
The steam shall give birth to a glacier
The heath shall give way to sand Bone shall become tusk Hair shall become nail Tooth shall cling to skull Being shall become The eternal return Of fire Asphalt shall flow like water Forest shall crowd out the worms Nothing ever began There was no dawn The heat chars The cold stabs The wheat shall give way to chaff Bone shall crack against bone Being shall become The eternal return Of fire 08. Beyond The Magic Forest
False horizon
Pointing nowhere The sky is not blue The air is not crisp Brother, sister Tear through the forest Brother, sister Tear through the forest The sun doesn't set Its bronze rays do not Sparkle in the water They do not brush against my lashes As I stare Like a statue 10. Behind The Void
In vain the iron-wrought tower
Pierces heaven's dome In vain the muscle tears it's fiber Ten more fibers blossom in its place They tried to plant a flag Behind the void In vain the moat surrounds the castle Mud skulks across its bed In vain contraction In vain expansion In vain our kinds seeks total order There is a fissure at the heart of being They tried to plant a flag Behind the void 11. Renihilation
I force through the opening
I claw through veil after veil Absent purity Painted dawn Renihilation Renihilation Renihilation Renihilation I choke the apocalyptic trumpet With my power Resounding though the archangel Like marrow Renihilation Renihilation Renihilation Renihilation Absent purity Painted dawn The future is nowhere The past is gone Renihilation Renihilation Renihilation Renihilation |
