Impetus I: Torrid Sands

Arrival!
Pixelated in chroma
Eon of dissonance
The clamoring choir

Vagrant!
Abandoned visitor
A thread once torn
Split landscapes sewn anew

Have I found the path?
Climb!
Will I be repaired?
Ascend!
Can I find my way?
The Ladder!
Or will I succumb?

Do I hold the key?
Dredge!
Will I be released?
Drowner!
On my own again
Dig deeper!
No one to lead me

Old nostalgia
Dream alone
Rewrite the page
You're on your own now

O, Mind Mountain
Overtones
On our way down
Outlined in colors, I reanimate!

Who brought me here?
An esoteric pull
Tethers from myself
Burdened by another?
Advent shaper
Did someone paint The Sun?
A trick on the eyes
The sands burn with luster

Veiled
Impostor
Lost
Passenger

Veiled
Impostor
Lost
Messenger

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

Conjuring Coven
Send word for me
Conjuring Coven
Send word for me!

Old nostalgia
Dream alone
Rewrite the page
You're on your own now

O, Mind Mountain
Overtones
On your way down
Outlined in colors, I reanimate!

That deviant shimmer
Illuminating all within view
Lofty promises sunk to the bottom
The hidden hand will not release you

This Lake holds no unity
The needs of one outweigh the worth of many
A roil of silver, an all-consuming deep
A hollow home, where the voices may only sleep

The wider we run, the deeper we become
What might I find, in the place beyond The Sun?

The empathetic retort
Begging to be answered

How does one catch The Devil?
Efforts met with a transient grasp
A vision of distortion
Endlessly calls from within

Tethered to their pull
With a silent mouthful

Empty voices
Nothing to say
All in my head
Cannot escape
Will they release?
I have no name
My eyes are drawn
No light of day
Red sky at dawn
Can't untangle the clots

Your mind at ease
The body will follow
Your mind at ease
The body will follow
Your mind at ease
The body will follow
Your body will cease
The mind will swallow!

A corrupted frenzy fell within the husk
The cracks in your shell won't shatter the frame
Fleeing The Lake with blinded aims
With a craven anchor cementing your place

We are infallible!
Seeking meaning
We are impermanent!
Fleeting thoughts of the world
We are incomplete!
Aglow in the After
The Body, the vessel
A construct we leave behind

Tear down the mountain
The flood of the self
Bends the will of the ocean
Carrying fate from falsehood
Grand Fabricator
The fear of a god feeds the
Comfort in knowing
I am the Architect

And there's no turning back!
Free me, from me!

Come sit by the fire
And take in the view
No, there is nothing here
For anyone
Not you
