The Lethean
This track is instrumental.
Bring her about Tempesting beast ye who hath me unbound And yields the signs of torments never before found And whispers these parabels I had thrown to the ground Bring me its head And silence these voices that echo insufferably through my brain And may you never plague my thoughts again Oh mighty serpent of the sky Thar she blows In all her majesty she breaths in her celestial flatteries I shall grab my harpoon to pierce its heart And finally put an end to the hunt And finally put an end to this requiem Lay to rest this psychotic mayhem Breath in and breath out these venomous lies All I can see is the love in your eyes Cast away this fallacy Just a distant memory Put an end to this requiem Lay to rest this demented mayhem I captain this ship of a skeleton crew With an anchor made of bones In search of imperious misery On an ocean made of stones Deathly winds fuelling my demise A chant of destruction This vessel is filled with irreverent eries And scornful emotions And suddenly bangs the chime of obsession A riddled nightmare lost in transference For what possible purpose would it harrow me This elusive entity from ahabian terrors or so I believed In this wanton chase I'm fighting an uneatchable foe Leaving reason behind And spouting a frothed defiance to the skies Breath in and breath out these venomous lies All I can see is the pain in your eyes Cast away this fallacy Just a distand memory Put an end to this requiem Lay to rest this demented mayhem

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson] I once dreamt of a stone made of ashes and bone Singing haunting themes of wordless songs This stone I silenced for so long Brought me this wasteland I call home I envy the finesse of this palaverous void Choking on this lethargic anathematic awe If only I could thrive in this apotheosis This tongue paralysis preaching the abyss à gilded fantasies afar Beyond these raucous waves My soul tied to this dying star Heir to these barren days And perhaps one day dream of extraordinary labours I speak of such myths I cannot fathom Only to give reason to elusive rhizomes Who am I to question this ordering chaos How can I feel entitled in this frenzied madhouse à gilded fantasies afar Beyond these raucous waves My soul tied to this dying star Heir to these barren days I hear a clink, a faint tingle, an aurous ode to oblivion One last tribute the gold long forgotten And in a vapid huzzah to this morbid fallacy I raise my glass to greet this vacuous insanity Broken and confined in these fractured insanities No one can hear the fall in this sea of dead trees They say these violent delights have violent ends Show me what triumph there is in this failed apotheosis Show me Show me Show me! à gilded fantasies afar Beyond these raucous waves My soul tied to this dying star Heir to these barren days 'Tis a golden silence A fine moment to muse on The cacophonous derelict I've based my life on Auriferous fantasies Let me be consumed by these silent reveries Auriferous fantasies Let me be consumed by these silent reveries

It all starts with a flame that cannot burn Strangled by dust from deserts you’ve never heard Where shouting winds scream your name Where shattered wings drown in the sand This desert ocean I contemplate An arid shrine of sand and bone Will swallow me whole to its depth For these wings are made of stone If I had wings to dream a sky and learn to fall I’d hold on to the sun and burn it all If I had wings to dream an oceanside and free my soul I’d leave it all behind to feel once more If I had wings to carry me to stranger isles And decipher these wretched signs Foul winds chanting in unison These Icarian melodies Perhaps my wings are made of wax And I’ll be plunged back into the seas Why am I trapped in this painting that never dries How can I hear these waves all singing my demise The smell of rain burnt into sand Claimed by the sun While my quill turns to dust In this canvas I roam only to realise That the wanderer is forever lost Ô serpent of life bane of my mind Ye who hath drowned all this dolorous grime That has poisoned my soul Now it’s time to let go If I had wings to dream a sky and learn to fall I’d hold on to the sun and burn it all If I had wings to dream an oceanside and free my soul I’d leave it all behind to feel once more If I had wings If I had wings..

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson] Burn, let the chaos run awaking a red sun Let loose this fiery grin when all is said and done Darkness descends Pandemonium reigns Applaud my dearest, for once more I sing this symphony of smoke Let the moon shine on these pearly whites Welcome the madness of the blight I am the curse, I am the cure A Manichaean paradox A chilling spasm made to suffer A blissful abnormality A demented monstrosity Plagued by euphoria And yet I smile to greet this comforting void I sold my soul for these eluding eyes I'll do it again a thousandfold And never again truly feel alive And I welcome these streams galloping through these scarlet breaches Slowly drowning the mad shackled demiurge Forever trapped in this breathless dream Cycling through this miserable scourge A Machiavellian cage, a burning providence As useless cries of a vacuous melody Echo frantically through space and time Thunder stroke from a heart shaped cloud But were you even around To see the bolt ravish the ground How many screams will the storm have strangled I believed in second chances Looking back at every sin Wondering why this grin, why this façade Why this pathetic charade Oh wretched smile Take this calamitous design from the deep confines of your mind And applaud one more time this tragedy And smile Let it ring through the endless void Why won't you just smile Let us live blissfully in awe Dans ce déluge, cet océan de glace Et la ruine d'une falaise qui pleure à la lumière d'un astre Qui a jamais scintille une lumière anathème Dans le sourire d'un miroir qui s'efface Au delà d'un tourment, d'un Grand Oeuvre avorté Par les flammes d'une rancoeur trop oubliée Et ce sourire dans sa noirceur illuminée Candidement viendra pour vous émerveiller Anger, these strains of laughs seem louder These pains I'm meant to suffer And you're the reason why And yet I smile Harder, this feeling's lost all glimmer This light has gone now darker And you're the reason why But yet I smile

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson] Beyond the great beyond There lies an urn of tales forlorn Of mountains scorched and waters worn Of sunken beasts and ambitions torn In Pyrrhic seas Anthologies Of shattered dreams Paint the canvas of thousand swansongs A fabricated Petrichor aligned to dull the inevitable A makeshift rhyme to keep the stars aligned And leave behind the conception of time This season benign lost in a past confined Bury me underneath Drown me below Carry me slowly Beyond the great unknown Come clarity Efflorescent lunacy Remorseful moon that shines On your rued memory Across the arid lands of nigh Through bloodstained grounds and fields of penitence Where sorrows fill immense lands better left behind And bitter shrines best forgotten under frozen tides Withered calligraphy blows the tempest of the shrine Of irreverent memories better left behind Acrimonious ignominies of Letheanic times Wishing that rivers of stronger tides will bring forth moons of stronger drives In Pyrrhic seas Anthologies Of shattered dreams Paint the canvas of thousand suns In Pyrrhic seas Anthologies Of shattered dreams Reach the oblivion left by the undertow And drown me below Carry me slowly Beyond the great unseen Come clarity Envious lethargy Insidious malarkey

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson] Licentious, breathless omnibus Cruel and pridefully obvious Distastefully promiscuous But however glorious And a certain penchant for the malevolent illustrious Fathomless joy in this journey remorseless In a sea of wanton wills and sheer rejoice The spring of ghastly thrills amorce The undead forces vicariously guiding the dying quills Of letters buried signed to the Wanton Beautiful and calm Bitterly longed and eternally Wanton Blissfully forgone Ready to rot into the end of the world I see a carousel of stained headless portraits Faded shrines of paradoxical epithets Whose eyes have now joined mine And haunt the mirrors of the mansion that has locked my mind à dismal Wanton Beautiful and calm Bitterly longed and eternally Wanton Blissfully forgone Ready to rot into the end of the world A cruel rhizome plants the seeds of dismal bliss Sprouting bubonic flowers in gardens forgotten And bring forth lies from which we all abided Exterminate the hemlock To whom we're all devoted Bring out the pyres Rejoice with the wicked

Plagued flowers beseech the astral burnings In an unending revolution Where nothing lives not even crows And worms search for absolution Forests charred to obsidian And seas turned dry Memories faded in oblivion And songs lost in time Wayward sun may you one day rest Extinguish the fire Carry my dreams to the West While the East lays dire Craters of sulphur and misery Replace the gardens slowly Releasing the poison that blooms A myriad of nameless tombs Wayward sun may you one day rest Extinguish the fire Carry my dreams to the West While the East lays dire Tell me why I keep staring at a blank page Who’s eyes resemble mine All the words I write keep fading away Before the ink can dry A Falling skyline laden with crimson rays Crushed by dimming embers Soon I’ll be drowned by these ashy waves And drunk from Lethean waters This wasteland you roam is your true home I guess some things will never change And finally your work here will be done Pyred by the beams of a wayward sun Wayward sun may you one day rest Extinguish the fire Carry my dreams to the West While the East lays dire

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson] When the fall is calling to the moment we arrive Seasons withering through days of future passed Breathe in the last breath of sun that drapes over your eyes Take my hand and leave behind the summers that are gone at last And feel the kiss of winter bliss And greet the nymphs of the abyss Hollow is the ice shimmering down this plaintive sky Holding the tears of noctilucent clouds passing by Cold runs the mourning river blessed by serenity Wondrous harmony this barren beauty home it shall be For I am divided for love's sake For the chance of union And breathe again a new world As nebulas collapse and singularities combine I'll be ferried into the great unknown And in the void become one A polar tempest arises A frostbitten phoenix joins the Aether realm And leaves behind a burning Eden, forlorn I am one Drink from the well of shadowed lives I am none Burn the letters of lost goodbyes I am one Break the seal of fetid lies I am none And greet the bliss of winter The cosmic leeway has been shred to thorns Astres collide Mountains of sulphur poisoning the skies The end is nigh I am one I am none I am one I am none Oh Lethean waters wash away the universe And reunite all the sinners of this world Rejoice as I am one and we are none Before Solipsis overruns And I won't remember you, neither will you We will drift again amid these lonely stars Until we finally meet again A kiss of winters gone into a Sunless dawn For when the ice melts back into An ocean And this strange brew that clouds my mind Finally reveals all these past lives Come and gone away from you Oh winter how can you be bliss You carry hemlock on your kiss Such a cruel design Did it really matter after all? I am one Drink from the well of shadowed lives I am none Did it matter after all?

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson] Space is an ocean where silence meets deceit Cold and withered where I feel complete A yearning dread forever sleeps Whispers calleth upon the deep And memories of past lives grow cold My mind a tapestry in ail This canvas echoing a wail These reveries are starting to feel old They feel old Wintry smile of a dying moon Painted denial Feasting on a Kingâs tomb Leaving bones for the jackals A barren land on which to weep And misty beaches where to mourn I roam this rift that dives so deep And dream my way below forlorn Row and row and row until the end And greet the darkness rising allow your mind to transcend Row and row and row until the end Through nebulas, through dying stars, watch me fade again Space is a notion, a mirror to the soul A blurry reflection without a goal I feel the darkness yet again I feel growing the beast within An affliction slowly pulling me below The angst is keeping me alive What is dead may never die But will walk the earth in eternal lorn Walking the shores I once saw clear I dream again the path I roamed And breathe the same shrill atmosphere Through seasoned winds and withered stones And when I look up the frontier I see a dying star alone Celestial glare, a light so clear That is never coming home Row and row and row until the end And greet the darkness rising allow your mind to transcend Row and row and row into the end Embrace the rivers roaring flowing towards a better end Row and row and row into the end And dream away the notion that youâll ever be the same Row and row and row until the end Through nebulas, through dying stars, watch me fade again Thanks to thetruerobcarson for sending these lyrics.
