Heliacal Vessels II: In the Unity of The Lake Lyrics

Take me now, lead me to The Lake

Show me its worth, its grandeur

Whisper no more, only righteous speak

You'll hold no pull, choose not for me

Will this uncoil me?

There's a mile between these horns

And I'm on the wrong side of the chasm

My ears are filled with bent words

Side-eyes lead the blind

Twisting tongues go on and on and on

So much to offer!

So warm in its hold!

Unite with the voices!

Let them sing!

Let them sing!

Let them sing!

Be one with the choir!

Abolish synapses, headfirst into blinding light

They welcome new voices, they sing out in praises

The wider we run, the deeper we become

Orchestrate! Bend your ear to me

Hold your tongues!

Bite your words!

You speak in circles

Your breath holds no sway

You deafen the deaf

Show me your hand

I'll take you to the shore

Incandescent, the sight is dimmed by the shimmer

The surface can't hold the echoes, freed to spatter

Feed me your strength, bring life to my lips

Your love is the key, help the fallen one see

A place beyond the sun, deliver him to me

To know what he's meant for, a pillar of progress

The Drowned looking for salvation once more!

You've surely stepped into the hope you're looking for

You know, you can catch the Devil all you want

But you can't hold him for long

Youngbloodied like yourself don't last out there with the Guild

But here, your scars and Torments may be spilled

In the Unity of The Lake, the needs of we outweigh the needs of you

Your future has been paid for in full!

Videte te in Stagno

Corpus Abiecisse

De exitu Animae

Argentum animum

Ahhh, a hand without teeth?

So it seems

We don't take too kindly to the anomalous around here

No matter, death always finds a way to dig deeper

Let's open you wide and see what we can't fix

My!

Split my heart asunder!

A Thinker worth its weight in gold is no use around here

One last push should get you on the narrow

Try diving one more time

Come on now, with feeling

Videte te in Stagno

Corpus Abiecisse

De exitu Animae

argentum animum

No more!

Rules are rules and followers follow

Stare into mirrors, see a better self

At arm's length, my Sun won't envelope

Feel the burden weigh on your shoulders

A lifetime of spiraling, what have you got to show for it?

Gravity has worked its miracles before

Open your eyes, breathe out one last time

Your mind at ease

The body will follow

Your body will cease

The mind will swallow

Feast glutton! Now you've seen it for yourself

Living your life in solitary miasma, created this shell

A grip held taut tears fear from reluctance

Succumb to The Choir, an empathetic retort will drag you down

Ripples at ease

Roiled by my hand

Once translucent

Gone turbid again

You lead me here

Promising splendor

Assembled hope

Dismantled grandeur

A turning tide's eruption

Peels through the skin

The visage of distortion

Keels from within

Breathe alone

Hollowed, heavy air

Tearing

Burrowing

Fraying

Burgeoning

It resides in the lungs!

It resides in the lungs!

It resides in the lungs!

It resides in the lungs!

Fleet foot, breathe in, breathe out

That "thing" is close behind

Weary wanderer!

Find repose in mercurial

What lies ahead will lead to darkness

What lies beyond the Sun, a void worth calling to

Cull all of your loss

From your cliffs will flow Chaos

The Watch shield their eyes from your radiance

Remove their sight

Cull all of your loss

From your cliffs will flow Chaos

The Watch shield their eyes from your radiance

Remove their sight

Swim on

Back to

The Light

Return

Back to

The White

Breath is shortened

Tethered to our Pull

Voice is lessened

With a silent mouthful

Ties will strengthen

Keep you in our hold

Chest is Tightened

Left out in the Cold

Sink in the Well

Descend in the Lake

Our way down

Bent to the Chasm

A clawing I can't seem to shake

Sink

Descend

Bend

Claw

Is this absolute?

A directionless hollow

The anguish unhindered

No map to follow

Forgotten, Abandoned

Dismantled, sunk in the homogeneous chaos

Amorphous, abyssal

It's the root, grown too deep

I'm ingrained

All is within my

Reach!

The air in your lungs, the sand holding your step

The world cannot be without

Me!

The Light that you lived for, The Empty you died for

Where all things end, I will remain

A true sight to behold, a rarity never seen

Prospect or risk, an evening of the world

A satellite realigned, a compass, North is undefined

Fleeing on fear on the back of unknowing

Evader, remember

Hold fast these musings, gather your slivers

Unearthed, shake off the rigor

Keep your mind inside your skull and breathe, exhale

Seeing in circles

I'm crawling again, the flame of the Sun sets

Fire to my eyes, with the heat of a thousand others

The Lake is everywhere, not a drop of water

It speaks to me, again, it rings in vain

Leviathan silver, heavy and weightless

Is this the path of eternal existence?

Worry not, it calls

The voice speaks tenderly

A deluge in my mind, its gravity against mine

Unwelcome in the hollow

Follow the empty howl

Cycling through moments, they whisper in winds

Eroding, erasing, until I am nothing
