The Stone Heart

from The Stone Heart EP by Obsidian Tongue

lyrics

The heart of our reality is a great cave
An underground chapel to which the gods have fled
Where ghost and stone pulsate as one
Under the din
Of a soulless realm
Whose numina have fled as well
Leaving only God of reason to rule mankind

Lo
Another storm deflected
Begrudgingly suspended
Our protective web
Out from the stone heart and through the axis mundi
In weakness the only offering they have left
Who has failed whom in this world?
And why was I born in it?

“Cross the starlit dunes
Ignominious voyager
Rescind the laws of the past to obey the call
Your fury will light the path in the stars above
And he who shackles your kind will watch powerless
As you dissolve your chains and plunge into the dark
Great chthonic pool will break your fall
For true courage shapes nature
And the gods await”

Humid echoes circling me
Aching eyes ache deeper still
Archways of the feretory
One by one their shadows will
Titulary vapors close in
A ring of sullen mirrored eyes
Some show guilt and some stay frozen
As their gaze begins to rise
Di Orant Ut Liberi Ignoscant
And above me sprawls a spectral scrolling vision
An eclipse and earth sleeping through its occasion
Failed gods forging a facade
And though all souls escaped, their pity and disgrace
Suspend the dream…
