Isis
Album • 2009
The great stone walls Rise above our heads, Cold and sad Pale light, a dusty veil The sun makes its way in Destitute, weak You're at my side again Faithful guide unfailing, Here we stand among the others The living among the dead Veins still flowing full Lungs filled with white light Push forward Lifeless bodies swept aside They are on us Cast a net of armor Over our heads Hide our life Lest it be lifted from us We must leave this place Of deathly decay Don't look back, press on

It's cold. Snowing blue light dusk settles... A fire burns with failing light Against the growing darkness Bending over the dying flames You were with me then and always Through the fluttering veil of frozen blue, A hooded figure cuts its path To cleave the night in two. Pull its outer husk from its body and the rest escapes, And there upon the ground the remnants of our struggle. This is the ghost key This is our ghost key This is our ghost key

It is here That vice indulged Bleeds the living Of their trust And now the Chosen children play Never to Lay rest Hand of the host Extended from his fingers Dangles scented flesh Bodies offered spun From infant minds Perfect in their Empty conception To be devoured By my lustful heart I am commanded "do as thou wilt" Through the halls I am lead Following I am lead "writhe and gnaw each other's flesh" He lies uncovered This ancient man Of bristle and bone Hoary and unwashed His lonely soul Fills the room Our reverie Lays broken on the floor Cast him out into the throngs Into unholy laughter

This track is instrumental.
We four, bound by blood Standing in the crossroads On the underside of the world Waiting our turn Here we see Coiled serpent Black and baking In the sun Stone is flung Serpent wakens Arrow of poison Pierces our hearts Teeth sink into tender flesh Lightning strikes, too fast to see We seek succor for the stricken Pleas met with spiteful laughs Slow advance, not to stir the poison Its course fast and merciless Merciless, merciless In vast halls, buried in hurried hordes No help found here, only dreadful tears

Tendrils extend from the cloudy black mass They slither and slide through the ones and zeroes Prophecy of collapse unfolds Last grain of sand spirals down the hole Chance has graced me with a gift Grasp at gold before the dark descends Sun beats down and panic reigns In this time of endings Eyes are shut, feet are bare For this journey I'm unprepared I walk on Sight renewed Seek new life I seek new life Walk on Seeking her, the one I wish to see She wanders the outer lands From the grasp of wolves I will pluck her Twin arteries flow with the pulse of one mighty heart

I've arrived city of lucid dreams Before me a building Looms caked in inky grime The act unknown Actor in sleep Here I enter, and here I see The circle and bones made in haste Winds to anoint the faithful Amorphous specter turns From old to new Rests in faith beside me We wait for the quiet fire To be born and there it is Embodied by a boy His voice small and grey Whispers smoke to the chosen Upon our heads he places crowns Sewn with hiss and higher tones The boy presses whispers into her And they bathe in valley's pale rain
