lyrics

My sight has gone black as liquid lead drains from my head
I’ve viewed all of the pathways but now thy eye eats my mind
Its mouth has opened up to inhale all things at last
Gluttony has led me to where nothing comes back

Becoming one with the legion of paradigms
Merging with the source
Restoring the timeline
Returning the design to the divine author
Betrayal
I’ve weaved through it’s maze
I’ve become enslaved
Crushed by the jaws I crave
I submit to the weight of fantasy’s foul plague

It’s mouth has opened up to vomit all things at last
Indulgence has led me where everything turns black
My foresight has gone as liquid lead drains from my mind
I’ve viewed all the beginnings but now my eyes feed on time

Submit to the mirror split
Crushed by his jaws
Just fucking drown me

(Solo - Abernethy)

Reset the rift
Merge me with the source
Betray me

I see the edge of time where all tales twist together once again
Each paradigm is wrapped in their own web of torment
And together we have all been betrayed

At the vertex of all, certainties are unwoven and reality is begun anew
The spider spiraling off into the void once again
And always the wretched eye, driveling lustfully at the truths and untruths born at each turn, at each branch
Plunging us all deep into the waves of the iris
To see the possibilities that lie beyond every turn, filling our lungs with liquid lead and watching as we drown
The spider need not lead us astray, as we all return to the source eventually, and we will never be without fallacy, never without malice and greed
