Chains of the Stars Lyrics

No one knows

This is what it felt like

No one sees

This is what it felt like

Underneath the ochre haze of the forsaken sky

A blinding light descends and I can't fathom why

Frantic heart frozen in place—time's cruel parody

They descend envoys of cosmic iniquity

The probing gleam tears through the fabric of my mind

An unholy rapture reality unconfined

Their tools like tendrils slither 'neath my trembling skin

A waking nightmare orchestrated by their sin

Alien whispers claw at the edges of my psyche

Their vile symphony a discordant litany

Each note a searing agony a twist a tear

A souvenir of the otherworldly affair

Through corridors of light in sterile silence I am pulled

Among their kind a spectacle poked and lulled

Beneath their gaze humanity's but a stain—a blight

Their experiments scribe tales of terror through the night

Silence—A descent into purgatorial dawn

Cast out on the road life reshaped spirit torn

A husk of the past breathing dust of a forsaken trove

The begrimed pavement my cradle the cosmos my cove

Into the arms of Earth once more crudely thrown

Where my words of the void would be met with a stone

Tales of the probing lights meet skeptical ears

My reality my torment my pain only I revere

No one knows

This is what it felt like

No one sees

This is what it felt like

No one knows

This is what it felt like

No one sees

This is what it felt like

Eyes once warm now a void of despair

A gaze that returns the world's cold vacant stare

In mirrors I find a stranger twisted and defaced

A grotesquery born from the stars interlaced

Each shudder a memory of their vile artifice

My body a canvas of their morbid edifice

A madness blooms within the core of my sanity's breach

While whispers of the cosmos in silence beseech

The earthbound world recoils from what I've become

A spectacle of terror under suspicion's thumb

A pariah pacing through life's indifferent thrum

Each heartbeat a reminder of the distant hum

The pain a relentless tutor of my flesh's confession

My dissolution a spectacle of their possession

Limbs contort and voices erupt from my throat unbid

An orchestra of horrors on this stage I'm slid

The laughter of children a sound now so grotesque

Warped and twisted like my visage arabesque

In the sun's once tender caress I feel only burns

For the cold embrace of the cosmos my essence yearns

And then the yearning grows an insidious bloom

A longing for my captors' touch in the echoing gloom

Embrace the agony the torment so rife

For in their otherworldly arms I found life

No one knows

This is what it felt like

No one sees

This is what it felt like

No one knows

This is what it felt like

No one sees

This is what it felt like

Strangers' eyes hold only disgust they cannot see

How the stars' brutal love unfurled the truest me

In the shadow of their grand design I am but a shard

To the darkness of their world I stand the lone guard

Amidst the scorn I find a perverse form of delight

A Stockholm heart calloused by the alien blight

I pray for return for the pain their cruel affix

For only in chains of the stars do I find my crucifix
