Lit By The Broken Flame

The inception of a nostalgia inside me
It takes over my long forgotten history
The illusion falls, it takes my sight forever
It breaks through the walls of my torn ancestry
Gone through convulsions I know my destiny
Its a chaos call of the homecoming

My breath stops and these shackles break
I take a look on the mirror for my ending fate
There's an apparition and it is known to me
A shaded ghoul who wants to be free

I am the puppet and a sick victim
Like a remote controlled man with a hive brain somewhere
I speak of a tongue I don't know for my soul's not there
But the form has entered me from afar
And showed me the path
The glorious path

Across burning deserts I venture with the aid of the constellation
I navigate through the sand dunes to find my lost destination
The flight of vultures are hovering across my head
They are waiting for me to pause and end up dead

With my bleeding heart in search of home
I try to read the trails of the sand that speaks of the gone
Scorpions are creeping out of holes in the sand
I cannot lay still with eyes closed in the dark

Lit by the broken flame
I am here to make myself remember again
Over bodies of those I have slain
To discover the kingdom in my own name

Now before me stands big pillars taller than the mountains
It is created by none other than beings older than men
The tombs of silence are calling me to come in
I hear their spells as they seek of my surrender within
From the lamp that is undying, a broken wick slowly emerges
It follows the cryptic door that cannot be seen with bare eyes
I stand there all alone with nobody to accompany
And the blocks of stones move on by itself, opening to my eternal destiny

Before me the lamps start to burn illuminating a throne
With its gilded walls, skeletal carpeted floor
I walk over the open charnel shameless of my actions
I know I need to find my answers somewhere buried here hidden

A voice speaks from the walls; I know its not my dazed imagination
As I can see the shade, the specter levitating in the air
It tells me words of wisdom, an origin of mine that I have never known
For I am not human, neither an animal but something far beyond
