CHAPTER VI: ODE TO THE AEONS Lyrics

A conflicted mind

What trouble will you find?

Twisting my limbs

Puppet on a string

There's dust in my lungs from the road I came from

Cough like a spark, quick to burn and go dark

My anger's a knife from my internal strife

Pulling at my ribs, a shell empty within

I refuse to bargain, to find the door in time

A thread of a life that used to be mine

Need to anchor my soul, my body's growing old

In the plane I once roamed, my glory's gone cold

If you decide to take it

Maybe one day you'll make it out

If you decide to take it

Maybe you won't have to fake it now

Twisted like intestines, it's all I've ever known

it's in my blood stream, I feel the ebb and flow

Ode to the aeons, they see more than we know

Oh can you hear them?

They're begging for me to come home

Nothing burns like it used to

Looking at an empty space

A vessel in which to travel

But cemented in the same place

Is that my reflection?

Don't recognise my own face

A shell of a person

Who they'll try to replace

It's an ode to the aeons, to what they symbolise

Try to peel my skin back and I'll try to synchronise

Cause my anger is a weapon and I dare you to threaten

This room cast in cresson, the cardinal seven

I'll harpoon my soul out of my body

Use my knife and kill every copy

Take my fist and break all the clocks

Cloister walls will take the shots

I'll say "hello" to Mr Aeons

Defeat all his legions

And when there's nothing left

Well, I'll be sure to give him my best

If you decide to take it

Maybe one day you'll make it out

If you decide to take it

Maybe you won't have to fake it now

Twisted like intestines, it's all I've ever known

it's in my blood stream, I feel the ebb and flow

Ode to the aeons, they see more than we know

Oh can you hear them?

They're begging for me to come home

"Come home"

"Come home" (Come home)

"Come home"

"Come home" (Come home)

They wanna keep me away

They wanna keep me at bay

They wanna keep me away

They wanna keep me at bay

They wanna keep me away

They wanna keep me at bay

They wanna keep me away

They wanna keep me at-

("An ode to the aeons")

("Try to synchronise")
