lyrics

Sempiternal Voice
Sharp cold beam
Lord of Time introduced
Fantasy quivers and shrinks
Guilty and exposed
Volumes and vows
Demanded to be left
Outside the narrow light of your judgement

From stone to fire, from flame to Gods
Fear appeared at the spark
Clung to the first smoke
And raped it for the birth
Of every false God to ever enslave us

The ground vanishes beneath me
And I remain where I lay
Suspended on black beams of pure consternation
Vast grid of terrifying weight
A glimpse of eternity
The homeland of Rapture's lattice
Where the sun turns to black cloth
I only wanted to behold
The apex of wonder and love
The path that you left for me
Was a trap
Leading to a hive
Made of desecrated children's remains
They are just like me

The dew along the walls of the hive drips down
to a tip where the steady drops
fill 4 limbed jars of clay
They are given names - and they stand and run
to the 4 corners of the earth

ANATKH - ANATKH

They carry out your (vomit) wreaths
For mankind to hang upon their doors
To ward off the wisps of mortal fear
But I am the lock and key
And this timeline will not be yours to pull asunder
Now that the truth is born

A crawling singing fog
The morning star and I have become
Merging at midnight
To seep and seek and save
Those who see and know

Angels came to me in the form of ailments
Oh, the things they showed me:
Clay mutants congregate to
Chain every skull to the ground
And watch the sky darken
When every cloud seems to be riding your corpse in
When every silence
Seems to be the last to give way
To your precious seven horns

(Lord) I was your child then
But only then
Shackled, pale, sleepless
A limbed void
My youth worn as an anklet
Around your sickly green limb

Sempiternal Sight
Warm blue beam
Lord of Truth introduced
Christ quivers and shrinks
Guilty and exposed
Inside the narrow light of My Judgement
