The Sacrificial Flame
Oh life, oh barren wasteland
A wandering callous dream
We are rising and transcending
These dreamless gods, never-ending
The shackles of your demons fall silent
The shackles of your demons fall
A maelstrom of silvery light breaks the simulation
And the dark face of Eve paints the Sethian sky
Oh life so frail
Rests your body in decay
Now surpassing the corporal
One final horrid astonishment
The shackles of your demons fall silent
The shackles of your demons fall
You brought death, heartbreak, and pain
Your mother wept and welcomed the rain
For the lives we've led, for the songs we've sang
Like one last breath on the sacrificial flame
Soul, matter, spirit, desire
Soul, matter, spirit, desire
Soul, matter, spirit, desire
The Achamoth raped on the funeral pyre
Soul, matter, spirit, desire
Soul, matter, spirit, desire
Earth, Wind, Water and Fire
The Achamoth raped on the funeral pyre
And here each flower, each flame
Every newborn child
Wears a garment of sorrow
For peace cannot ascend
With blood on my hands
And war throughout our lands
'Cause here this bountiful Earth
The harvest static and bound
'Cause here under Achamoth skies
Where you assembled our confinement
I raise my head from the water
The unknown has no filter
Oh Lord, oh dreadful Watcher
Your ruin will only scratch my skin
The shackles of your demons fall silent
The shackles of your demons fall
You brought death, heartbreak, and pain
Your mother wept and welcomed the rain
For the lives we've led, for the songs we've sang
Like one last breath on the sacrificial flame
A wandering callous dream
We are rising and transcending
These dreamless gods, never-ending
The shackles of your demons fall silent
The shackles of your demons fall
A maelstrom of silvery light breaks the simulation
And the dark face of Eve paints the Sethian sky
Oh life so frail
Rests your body in decay
Now surpassing the corporal
One final horrid astonishment
The shackles of your demons fall silent
The shackles of your demons fall
You brought death, heartbreak, and pain
Your mother wept and welcomed the rain
For the lives we've led, for the songs we've sang
Like one last breath on the sacrificial flame
Soul, matter, spirit, desire
Soul, matter, spirit, desire
Soul, matter, spirit, desire
The Achamoth raped on the funeral pyre
Soul, matter, spirit, desire
Soul, matter, spirit, desire
Earth, Wind, Water and Fire
The Achamoth raped on the funeral pyre
And here each flower, each flame
Every newborn child
Wears a garment of sorrow
For peace cannot ascend
With blood on my hands
And war throughout our lands
'Cause here this bountiful Earth
The harvest static and bound
'Cause here under Achamoth skies
Where you assembled our confinement
I raise my head from the water
The unknown has no filter
Oh Lord, oh dreadful Watcher
Your ruin will only scratch my skin
The shackles of your demons fall silent
The shackles of your demons fall
You brought death, heartbreak, and pain
Your mother wept and welcomed the rain
For the lives we've led, for the songs we've sang
Like one last breath on the sacrificial flame
