The Regeneration Itinerary

The primary manifestations of quiescence The principle of paralysis Shadow and smoke Oh, inertia! Wide awake, immobilized Static flesh, somnambulant Pull me and I'll retract Push me and I'll push back Keep me in stagnation, guard my sleep Open my eyes with my mind buried deep Oh, inertia! Keep me in your tight grip.

När annonsören till slut tystnar Och pjäsen äntligen begynner Bakom rökridåer och scenografi En ny värld tar sig form När ridån slutligen faller Och sorlet äntligen dör ut Bortgömd bakom kulisserna En annan plats sig avslöjar Genom draperiets glömda sömmar En glimt igenom där inströmmar En bild av en människa En bild av ett landskap En bild av en värld Som tagit sig fäste När salongen på nytt börjar fyllas Och sorlet igen återvänder Denna gömda värld introduceras Framför publiken att beses Denna värld Detta landskap Denna samma skådespelare Med samma målmedvetna strävan Genom draperiets glömda sömmar En glimt igenom där utströmmar En bild av en människa En bild av ett landskap En bild av en värld Som förlorat sitt fäste

Whatever, whenever, wherever The Mender proclaimed The word was followed Whatever, whenever, whatsoever The Mender offered Anything was swallowed Chromium lungs, beryllium skin Becoming one with the poison within Bronze optics, copper blood Unfolding the self and letting it in Wherever, whenever, wheresoever The Mender appeared The flock him followed Chromium lungs, beryllium skin Becoming one with the poison within Bronze optics, copper blood Unfolding the self and letting it in Vehement, plastic dreams Atrophic, spastic screams Picked one by one From the branch of the Nurturer In his loud, deafening absence Stagnation is at the hands of the Mender Taken one by one From the branch of the Mender In his loud, deafening whispers Progression slips through the fingers of the Nurturer

Injecting the mirrorlike waters Feeling it flowing within Floating on its waves Observing how it unfolds Now, I am the medium I am the stream In times nigh to the absorption Forlorn in the somber, eyes open wide Preparing to be forgotten, as mercury drips from my side Vehement liquid dreams Atrophic silver screams Drowning in argent colors This vast bottomless ocean Bleeding the mirrorlike waters Seeing it flow from my side Seeking the next wave Observing the change within Still, I am the medium I am the stream In times nigh to the absorption, Forlorn in the somber, eyes open wide Preparing to be forgotten, as mercury drips from my side Vehement liquid dreams Atrophic silver screams Drowning in argent colors This vast bottomless ocean …none more of this, into this… Ambiguous vivid dreams Alleviated golden screams Ascending in argent colors From this vast bottomless ocean

Maelstrom of the inner world A kaleidoscope of dim thoughts The shape of the breath Lost under the spheres Broken reflections, chaos intertwined A curtain of void where no light is defined Burn the flesh Raise the curtain Enlighten the path Life is the essence from which we will learn That time is the fire in which we burn The journey through the filters darkly concealed Only through fire the process is revealed Burn the flesh Raise the curtain Enlighten the path The current of the conscious mind A library of thoughts re-indexed The shape of the breath In the presence of the spheres Mended mirrors, thoughts realigned The curtain of void lifted, where no light’s defined

(To assume our final form Is to begin to begin To understand our existence) Born into the skin of the first and the last Slither through, formed into one Wearing the skin of the first and the last Slither beneath, split me in half Appearing in the skin of the first and the last Slither within, into my halves Disappearing in the skin of the first and the last Slither below, reformed into one I am coin, I am two! We are coin, we are one! We are halves We are two Both sides joined And then I am two The A and the O The heads and the tails I am coin Forever I am joined Forever I am two Slither within, poison my flesh!

With newly found vigor With copper flowing within Let the new process begin To unveil this masterpiece But! Behind the curtain Treacherous steps Impending cataclysm Usher in this downfall For a moment there, I lost focus And fell down those spiraling stairs And for a brief moment there I let it all slip Further, further down Deeper, deeper within Even further down Further, further away In the absence of light Destitute of any vision From shivering soil A beacon of silver Up from the ground A shining pedestal Raising this shell Towards the surface Again with newly found vigor Clad all in silver robes Let the process continue To unveil this masterpiece For a moment there, I lost focus And fell down those spiraling stairs And for a brief moment there I let it all slip

Out of the clutter From disorder back into order Your steady pulse Harmonious stasis From the static of a thousand essences The sterile non-existence Into a sea of one single coherence Unto a monolith of quietude Proscriptor, leave the floodgates open Crush me with your lustrous, gleaming lava Break down this husk, wave after wave Wave after wave Surge after surge On a voyage towards thе terminal filter A corroded, oxidizеd grid This sanguinely final draining passage A pathway to inner armistice Proscriptor, let your current guide me On your pulse, wave after wave Proscriptor, do not close the floodgates Let your current guide me through the conduit Recreate this shell, surge after surge
