lyrics

The Alchemist

Bound within these gloved hands; molten
The crucible of our transmutation
Leads Me To My End

-----------------

Hunted, now - In search of refuge
No talisman to repel the leering eyes
By the light of the night

Tortured, now - by encroaching footsteps
splintering branches, the crack of glass
pyrophoric blaze

-I charge into the trees-

-------------------------

-Within this cave-
-I gather the measures-
-to generate-
-bewildering feats-
-of-
-carnage-

-------------------------

Fools - They trust their faith
-words of man, indisputable-

Hastened to end this race
-as children bathed in contrition-

Obelisk to our disgrace
-looms off in the distance-

Awaken spellbound wraiths
-Barricades of consciousness-
-razed-

Truth in ambivalence - Strength of strengths
I will lead a charge on corrupted lengths
of the threads; our existence does cease to remain
when observer's observed; the reaction contains
solutions to all, in all there are eight,
inducing a ninth to precipitate
when moon does trap black photons in paths
of concentric surfaces: Blazoned, untapped

Pardoned for past discretion
-fault runs through institutions-

Preference for repetition
-Recidivist delusions-

Fractured shores, deep lakes
-Archaic diffusion-

Vernacular of these wraiths
-seeking restitution-

Funeral stelae, monolithic in nature,
Adorn the towering ray of the sun
A gilded edge to a page in tatters
by break of day, my race will be run
Fortunes betrayed and the future's to come
Gold chains in arrays on the altar beckon
to the kingdom beyond twelfth dimension beholds
-vibrational shift in the shells of our souls-
