Heliacal Vessels I: The Mothers of No Kin

(Alkahest)
Send word for me!

Call of The Bloodied King
Breath of The Absent Anther
Pitch in The Inkwell
Cast the Ochre Feather

Move how I move
Your stride is now mine
Speak with my tongue

Fold to me
Allow the eclipse
Take wing on my wind
Be brought to your perch

Answer The Bloodied King
Breath of The Present Anther
Soak in The Inkwell
Cast The Foxing Feather

Mothers, let me in
Grant dominion
Oh, misguided oracle
Neglect your scope
Yield your flesh

Ahmuron
Balphimas
Ordasah
Elthidia

(The Mothers)
Quickly now
Too little time to waste
The hand comes grasping
Structures collapsing

(The Mothers)
Not long
The Vagrant within calls
Soon their ears will bend
As our guidance falls
Too soon
Unwilling thralls
Eluding moment
The Alchemist calls

(Alkahest)
Tongues held tight
Breathe no word of threat
I give you light
I, who slows the sunset

(The Mothers)
Failure
Laid bare
Savior
Unclear

Converge!

(The Mothers)
You, of Salt and stone
Air in your bellows
Your head in the shadows
Purge your mind of former worry,
Let your eyes be your guide
We, as Mothers, will help find your cleansing

We gather with you on the Ladder
Where men go when they are through
Ahead, near insurmountable
We've seen Drowners come and go

(Pro)
Bathed in ethereal
Drenched in devouring gloom
Offer your radiance
Wear your heart as your habit

What do you want from me?
Why did you bring me here?
I need to know
I need to know

(The Mothers)
You have no name
Ignorant to The Flame

Your eyes are drawn
No Red Sky at Dawn

You'll earn no ending
Congeal with no mending

You hold too many clots
Can't untangle the knots

Unfit to be Cleansed
A means to no end

No Light to wake you
Eternity will take you

Seldom walked, this path is laid with gold that far too few have seen
Lives like yours have no relief, succumbing to your own torments

See for yourself
Savor the shimmer
See for yourself
Become something bigger

Comply!

(Pro)
You spoke of a choice
One of my own
Now you fall silent
And share stinging glances
Concede now!
Relentless!

(The Mothers)
Feast your eyes!
Sink once again!
Let it flow!
Let it consume!

Become more!
Be one with all!
Drown to breathe!
Breathe to be free!

(Pro)
On my own again
Ne'er a warmth to be felt, without you
Aging flame, scorches your embers
Burns through my fetters

Feed the warmth
Peel the flame

All alone, though this flame is my home

Sit by the fire
Sit by the fire
Let the mind be your guide
Let the mind be your guide

On my own path now
On my own way down

Let your mind be the fire
Let the fire be your guide
Let your mind be the fire
May the fire be my guide

Carve my name across the mountain
And sit atop its peak with open eyes!
Let your mind be the fire
May the fire be my guide!

My mind may be the mountain
But the fire grows inside
The wasteland holds oasis
I won't fall for guilty smiles

Let me drink, bring me to water!

(The Mothers)
Find the Lake
Become what you were meant to be

Free your thoughts
Your mind at ease, the body will follow

See for yourself!
See for yourself!
See for yourself!
Your mind at ease

See for yourself!
See for yourself!
See for yourself!
The body will follow!

See for yourself!
See for yourself!
See for yourself!
Your mind at ease
