A Connected One
Amongst others
How many more
Will come?
Chained to a pole
Offered to cosmic winds
The very fabric of my being
Slowly torn apart
And there they are
Watching me closely
Waiting for something
To Happen
They told me
I could be the one
Receiver
Of the truth
I belonged to
The sacred halls
To stay among my own
The connected ones
I was taken by the zekhram
Into the depths of Hydhradh
Swallowed by the fetid maze
Where I will stay
And speak out the truth
For the listeners
Until the flow of prophecies
Runs dry
Curled up on the floor, in a cold cell, I wait
My body in a trance, my mind in the stars
A dream state, wake up calls, a resonance inside my head
But the zealots they know, hunt you down, always find you
If you’ve been contacted
Sent to the temple they gave me a room
Lured in with gold and lust
A sweeter kind of dream, free from fear
The awakening was another story
Chained and cut pain shrouding me
The Zekhrams prepared me
Find out if I tell the truth
Am I blessed or cursed ?
Like a witch, drowning or dying
My judges want to know
Can I tell the words of Ætheria ?
My brain wrapped in technetium
Burning liquid numbing my consciousness
Messenger from our God
My slow death for their prophecies
Soon, another brother to stub for me

Agvirre - Muzzle & Mask
12:16
|
|
||
Strangling, isolating silence
Deafening, unbearable quiet
Knows my name
I wear this mask to face my friends
A fake smile painted like a muzzle
Such languid spirit can never speak
This quiver as hopeless as the weather
My endless worries are tangled wires
Gridlocked with nooses entwined
I gasp for air and drown within
This downpour can never be seen
Tear off the skin that imprisons you
Take off the mask that squalors you
Your true voice lies beneath
Your true self lies beneath
You are not...
You are not alone
A paralysing downpour that cannot be seen
This voice should never be silenced
These feelings should never be ignored
These words can never be unwritten
There is a light at the end of your tunnel
This voice should never be silenced
These feelings should never be ignored
These words can never be unwritten
These memories shall never be erased
You are not alone

Aubzagl - Varaha
04:03
|
|
||
Primordial water fills the universe
No motion, no life
A stillness of utter void
Silence in perfection
No progeny of the divine
No spawn of the accursed
The seeds of earth trapped within
Waiting to be revealed
The eternal skies rent asunder
The creator of dissent
Come to deconsecrate
The sacred silence of waters
With gaping tusked maw
The creature dives deep
Leaving roiling waves of horror
And a wake of dissonance
The tusked beast parts the waters
To find the occulted spark
To destroy the tranquility
Of endless primordial void

Wander on, wanderer,
Wander up, up and down and up again.
Why are you wandering the shore?
(What are you searching for?)
The shore will be the same the thousandth time
You wandered back and forth.
Stare on, seeker, dry out your eyes.
Why are you staring at the clouds,
Trying to research its shades from pitch black to flaming red?
The clouds won't wave at you.
The sky won't give you a sign.
Hark on, listener of water's symphony.
Why are you trying to differentiate this composition's facets?
The waves won't spill out any truths
And beneath the surface no divine core will be revealed.
Why are you returning, wanderer, retiring in your cave?
Begging for comfort in the scents and tastes of lust?
The short delights of flesh – these sparks in an everlasting night –
Will be swallowed up afterwards by unequally darker despair.
So what to do, monk, minstrel of eternal longing?
Neither addiction to higher knowledge
Nor recourse to sensual pleasure will lead you to the sublime.
End the journey, bury the quest?
Wander on, wanderer.
Wander up, up and down and up again –
Continue seeking – go on harking – indulge in the sparks of lust.
But acknowledge: there won't be changes,
There won't be signs,
There won't be answers,
No fires lightning up the night.
Nonetheless: worse, not to be on any quest
Than on a meaningless quest emerging from the self.

Looking at photographs
Of people I don't recognise
And places I don't remember being
Reading letters from strangers
Their words appear to be about me
I'll bury myself in the heart of this home
Burrowing under books given to children now old
Asleep in the shadow
Of an old life
Daybreak on a sleeping swarm
I've laid my roots
As deep as they can go
This place wasn't built around me
As my antlers grew
From one nest to another
And I call it home
I am a mist
And you are a mirror
This nest is a furnace
And we are its embers
I am a mist
And you are a mirror
This nest is a furnace
And we are its embers

Held aloft above all other
One soul proclaimed as more
Worthy of his grace
More fearful of his hand
The flesh that surrounds it
A shell of skin and shit
Submerged in mother's milk
To disguise the reek of plague
What dost thou want my child?
To live a life of joy?
To know a love that's pure?
And taste true freedom?
Blood of the lamb spilled in adulation
Cast as seed upon the earth
Just as your lord deserved Ascension
You deserve to bathe in light
On bended knee you plead to be
Absolved of all your sins
No matter the cost you pay it gladly
Ascend to the sun sin bearer, skin wearer,
No God would deny you!
Flesh bound ascetic cast off your ashen shroud
God of the sky and of the seas and of the earth and of the flesh
Provider, bring forth a mercy to take away the pain
Allow your servant the pleasures of this cleansing
To live a life of joy, to never feel pain
To know a loving God, to be free
To live a life of joy
To never feel pain
To know a loving God
To be free
To live a life of joy
To never feel pain
To know a loving God
To be free
To live a life of joy
To never feel pain
To know a loving God
To be free
To live a life of joy
To never feel pain
To know a loving God
To be free
To live a life of joy
To never feel pain
To know a loving God
To be free
To live a life of joy
To feel no pain
No God would deny you

Incantations penetrate the furthest reaches of the Gods.
Not the care of the skies, or revolving stars,
Can avail as an excuse to the deities she calls,
Day delays to rise on earth, the Sun a mere catspaw.
What went we into this wilderness to find?
Leaving our country, our kindred, our farther's houses, and for what?
At the crux of a baleful knoll,
Wicked council, come as one.
To live deliciously.
To relish in the taste of butter.
To be clothed in a fine dress.
To fly from this serpent's nest.
My corrupt nature is empty of grace,
Bent unto sin, and that continually.
What went we into this wilderness to find?
