lyrics

For I have bathed in ash, and I have ridden across the seas
I have walked the sands of time and I have watched them fall
Falling from the hourglass... as I fell, as I stumbled, as I gazed upon Man

My reflection now echoing my pain, these scars are written
Am I the enemy to reign? Rid me of these fibres, I can't delay
The elements heard of the reckoning too late

I stared up at the weeping vaults of Heaven
Seeing the Hanged Man cast down in a deathlike fever
The Sun illuminating his wounds
Set adrift in the catacombs of the livid Tower

I crawled through the orchard of God
Covered in blood and drowning in scoria to make my ascension
Devouring the roots & bones of serpents
I watched the desecration of His temple
With this palimpsest it comes to pass
...and dredge through these shallow murky waters, I am נָפַל, I am reborn!
The harvest dawns and I gaze through the dust of angels
Into the grim abyss... Into the grim abyss

There in the light of midnight, candles lit
A temple stands and the morning star shines

Behold! I hold the key of the seven gates!
Adorned with Irkallian winds!
O beguiling, perilous star of the morning! Darken my harrowed plea!
To illume the path so dark and devour the empty!

At the end, when nothing else remains
A temple stands, and a fire burns...
...And the Morning Star shines
