Anareta

I am everyman Torn from the womb Bathed in copious light Marched to the staccato beat Reared artificially Yet a wolf lies beneath this gown If you peer down Corners of the heart conspire Instinctual, cryptic desires Swallowed by institution Preempt our inheritance While watchful eyes record each footstep Confer benevolent bondage But I dare not cede I will curse the sun I am the one Curse the sun I am ancient dust I am cerebral lust Condense me Compress me into solid matter Molecules harbor Obscured Histories I am everyman I am everything I am nothing I am I am not

Spectral dawn dazzling Drink deep the mirage False fantasy Desiccated dreams Bones bleached Wander on Pilgrimage to nothing Fear god Fear death Fear love Speak not, make no human connection This vessel walks alone Fear life Fear truth Fear the unknown Consciousness floods the brain In a universe ever-expanding Spiral into madness Traversing undulating sands Impotent god Infinity lies at your feet Legacy lost Fear the burden of creation And I walk into the light... But only shadows greet me there Save me Is it better to wander than create When time will only lay to waste The fruits of our labors? "Look upon my works, ye mighty and despair" Even gods return to dust, a memory forgotten I see Ozymandias' petrified sneer Are we all condemned To wander here for eternity? Master, answers I seek Master, reveal yourself to me I have walked the desert lands The tree of knowledge I have sought I drank from it's roots only to become lost And perched at the edge of creation Entire lifetimes passed I found him and awaited his decree Beneath the twisted mask, the master was me

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Burning star haunts the night No respite in darkness Recurring dreams never subside Night after night Nocturnal apparitions Buried dreams Obfuscation or reality? Unveil yourself to me I plunge into velvet night Polaris beckons Sidereal guide What schemes are borne Upon your fleeting dreams? In your labyrinthine designs? Awaken dormant entity Tap the wellspring of memory Unlived aeons spiral into me A suzerain realms alien Colors unseen, cascading light blossoming through decay Deep peace, steeped in worlds profound But as the sun descends, in whispered tongue my name resounds Polaris calls me home again Corporeal imprisonment Damned in flesh, the nightmare never ends Polaris lead me from despair Release this earthly prisoner Bound by bone in somnolent reverie Each night I scan the bleak horizon A silent star never seen again And in my dreams Polaris gleams But I wake in oblivion

Tympanic resonations Aural incantations We are acolytes With seductive cacophony we proselytize And converge on this eve A feast for kindred souls Earthly burdens denied A brotherhood to cultivate the coming light Subterranean chamber Tones reverberate Eyes wide open Anointing of the stranger Receive this sick communion Congealing chaos Condensed miasmic mist Alchemical reconstruction Become leviathan In a sea of churning flesh The vermilion oscillates Conjoined, we are strong We are become one The derelict, sons of death Arise to claim the dawn The conqueror worm consuming all Destroy pantheons Crushing pillars of civility All Powerful, almighty Primordial seed Forging a new reality Embrace the burning dawn in me

Ossified A message scrawled in stone Paths etched into the earth We tread as ghosts Awakened only by desire A fleeting flame that flickers to nothing Stagnation is happiness Putrefaction bliss I open not my soul Inertia claims my bones In false content we're borne in painless sleep Decaying dreams beget deranged realities Take your place as trestles in your earthen tombs Follow false prophets to sate your spiritual wounds Deceive and delude your material shell Chase desire into the void, into hell I'll choose to be a destroyer of worlds A flesh-bound deity Burn across the sky Triumphant trumpets resound Ascend in hideous light Onward to eternity

In the mist, moondrenched Time ticks with stillness Languid ether Steel and sinew, cartilage and chrome An entity with endless gaze Cold, vermilion eyes infinite stare Materialized in shadow and torn from the veil Emerge the thorned tree of suffering His celestial burden Screams echo off the solid forms that once flowed as fluid time Abomination Rivers of epoch, entire eras carved into inanimate flesh Streaks of blood-red veins etched on cruel landscape Thrown into the throes of cosmic cessation Steel and sinew, cartilage and chrome An entity with endless gaze Cold, vermilion eyes infinite stare Materialized in shadow and torn from the veil Our vermilion dream once breathed essence We crafted the sun with an aura of hate Setting the dunes ablaze Moonfrosted by night A stillborn god presides on an empty throne Orchestrating jaws of nihilism Teeth rip us from reality Clamping, suffocating Meaning projected onto a fabric of nothingness Lost, our fragile dreaming of existence

Know thyself Mirror's gaze Deceiver, beguiler Hypnotic haze I'm called by many names Personality oscillates A tired masquerade Decay, renew, derange Eyes alien Shedding skin Self-constructed edifice Imprisonment Twist me into form I'm your fantasy unfurled Trapped in parallel worlds Am I essence or a shallow sum of actions? Spirit or form? As memory recedes, I am unborn A hollow husk Clothed in strange attire A projection of need, a projection of desire The mirror's gaze Reflect on me Escape In solitude Blossom into worlds unknown Beyond the mirror's gaze Communion with the soul I am blissfully alone
