lyrics

intermittent breathes, get a sense of the season
digging to depths that cause suspension of reason
but we really believe, as to an awful advantage
all structures will fall, whether marble or granite
armies are branded with the art of the stanza
though millenniums passed, they still long for the answer
I got lyrics wrapped in an obsidian cast
screaming poems into a black oblivion vast
this is the fire of thought from the eye of the storm
channel the effervescence from the pyres that burn
at what point did we abandon what we used to believe?
that charmed all to follow our numerous fleets
its my duty to speak over Elysium beats
although the cycles of the seasons are doomed to repeat
yet the music we leave will forever bloom from seed
and bless our luminous creed, I've seen Jupiter's dreams
shine from the earth's core, to the surface it gleams
known to puzzle all who seek and cut troops at the knees
I'm holding it down till the formulas found
or till Fortune has frowned and I soar to the clouds
as life gets shorter, the moments abound
form a corona around this poem and its sound
O Muse! the causes and the crimes relate
The goddess provoked and fired her hate
in tempests tossed, across the isles and wakes
long before we stood tall on the stylobates


the mystic man, who can elicit raw writtens
somewhere there's a distant land, I used to call heaven
I'm at home when I think of the flow of the springs
the capacity crowds as the overtures rings
no man can comprehend what this lonliness brings
lost Pallas to the tides, could have flown on her wings
human war coalesces and stomps, weapons are launched
and I am loathe to return home, it echoes, it haunts
I shook and I froze and took a look at the globe
and heard the very last note that I couldn't compose
I shook and I froze and took a look at the globe
and heard the very last note that I couldn't compose
