Dirge
Album • 2007
Meridians cross the sphere Razorhands slowly bore Circles after circles Reach the heart, grip the core Crimson nails scrape the rust Of a dying sun turning pale Scarlet eyes, pouring ashes Like lava in the veins of hell This world deserved better Than this skyless ground Of reptile flowers And sleepwalking hounds This world deserved far better Than this endless flood Of centipedes soldiers And octopus gods I'll redescend along meridians Like the moon dives in oceans For I have known days have passed I'll be gone in a quicksand-smile My pale sun deserves One last time... to burn

It moves, tremors, splits and blazes Roots come loose, scattered rocks, shattered in pieces Soil rumbles, struggles, breaks the chain Skies torn asunder, white stained rain Gaping mouths of dirt, scars wide open Ground erupts, you collapse, I burn Limbs and depths, dwell within Earthlike eyes, blinking Trapped on both sides of this quartered world Hands united, gaia dismembered This is the endless tide, just a movement The great divide of continents The great divide of continents But you fade away, beyond reach Letting storms rushing across the breach And through the coins on our lids Can we see how long we'll bleed? As this night has no bounds Would I wait for the crack of dawn? Would I wait for the crack of dawn?

Red sands whirl around Horizon splinters Stellar suns, spiral dawn Seconds and lightyears Petals and wings unfold Arms outstretched We wait and watch For dreams made flesh No bound hands or closed eyelids to hide Soil and clouds and men collide Blooming body-moths take flight Blue haloes in a tangerine light World drowns All fall down Lotus glows Pierces the earth Cross the gates Of universe

Satan is scared...! I'm not only, not only flesh, I'm not me! I'm not only, not only flesh, that's not me...! ... I'm not me... ... That's not me...

Marble clouds stretch, over there As I try to follow This hazy shade This icy shade Twisting and blurring in the distance Footsteps, elusive, disappearing Far away in a million directions Anywhere, elsewhere, nowhere But I would murder a thousand deaths I could stop the clocks and hold my breath To grasp you for real To grab anything Melting wax, cracking glass Multiply your face in many forms Fragments and fragments and fragments In a tunnel of mirrors In a corridor of sand There's a snowblinding glare The horizons of maud land And I roam and I crawl Like drifting through aeon Through iron walls abandon I roam and I call for you For I linger still In this world of emptiness I picture your fragrance Through the afterflesh Wings of lead over dormant seas Burden of feathers You, blue seraph, vanishing Trying to flicker as you burn In the hands of mighty sun Incandescent solar flares Consuming rainbows in your hair Until you fall, hereafter Far, far away Dim lily-white light Out of sight And within smoke, within mist Among dead and lying trees I lose your track I lose my way And now this home is a maze With children-headed walls Spitting cries Spitting wails At my face As I howl And I die killing time Counting hours, watching days fall One by one And I die spending nights On the paths of grief, serpentine Waiting for glows to heal Waiting for whispers to speak Wishing for sleep to come And restart everything There is a silence where hath been no sound There is a silence where no sound may be There is this silence Drumming, beating, bursting my ears She rises, rises, higher and higher Scratches the roof of universe Then dives, alas, sinks in my veins Drumming beating, breathing in my brain This is the morphic waving endless void A ghostly orchestra for swarms of insects Scarabs and locusts and furies play in my chest Drumming, beating, without rest Can you see those devouring fires Spreading infinity and silence, this silence Don't you hear the immaculate wings of absence Drumming, beating in a deafening cadence Humming blows, fractured ground, starlight in pieces Dying haloes all around, melting seas and shrinking spaces And where you as the world falls apart Drumming beating, drowning in my heart Silence will have taken your place When I rise towards the surface Six walls wide and blank When I reach the riverbank And now everything is nothingness And nothingness is where I stand Just a small twinkling star Pulsing, carved in my hand A green iris Staring, Gazing, An eye wide open, a tiny fire Tears and embers Rolling along in my fingers And in every searing moonbeam Through aching mercury dreams In every scary nightblow I can guess your face through the floe But anyway... The claws of gravity can crush me And nail me deeply Down to the earth I will stay at the gate Waiting and waiting To slaughter and trample on Those unlighted saints Lying on the floor Those beasts of prey Those stealing whores Those starving supernovas Those infrablack omegas Eating love, spitting grief From above, from beneath Changing children into silence This silence This drilling, pounding presence Endless Soundless Terrifying sentence Whirling louder and louder This silence As a drummer
