BATILLUS LYRICS

1. ...and The World Is As Night To Them

rise
in forgotten form
see a burning world
a price for sacred lust
build
trust in unseen source
wilt away dried and cracked our useless skin
fall
the pedals shed of uselessness
separate from untasted fruit
lay
lay to rot
in our dying world a burning chariot
a field of frozen time
sink in depths
a slow unwind
comatose
rise
coiled & frozen inside
sink in depths unwind
gifts of suffering transform
enter in stillness reborn
gifts of suffering transform
enter stillness reborn
in a burning world
rise

2. Deadweight

radiant halo wretched structure
console temporal silent vulture
conjure fragments of possessed remnants
sleepwalkers awaken
restore true origin
revive the shadows dancing
behind a sacred flame
rupture slowly internal bondage
ravish body infected sculptures
inverting bliss in mangled postures
suspended thought
transcending torture
covet slivers of a love lost failure
fall on your knees
crushed by your soul
poisoned your mind
that serves you no more
still barren sorrowed children
sleepwalkers awaken
restore true origin
revive the shadows dancing
behind a sacred flame
fall on your knees
crushed by your soul
poisoned your mind
that serves you no more
fall on your knees
crushed by it all
poisoned this mind
blackened a soul

3. Uncreator

garden of forking paths
renounce in vast intricate labyrinth
we've lost our mysteries
engraved in unspoken thought
running wild through fallen boughs
my weary prophet
guardian of seclusion
illuminate
dissolve
in winged intent
a burden crippled
blind
attrition
abrasion
a cripple
burden
breath
a lost breath
illuminate
the pale atmosphere
summon
broken shards
reflective
outward
spill through bent holes of teeth
i want to see the pain that binds love
i want to feel these bleak holes that bite
held like a stillborn hope

4. The Division

i'm falling back now this is why
in deadly grip i'm falling back
and this is why two soiled paths
conquests divide to a sordid pose
look inside all these eyes
a river inside
flows from these eyes
i'm falling, falling in this world
into a distant sky
faced with past eclipsing time
crawl inside
see these eyes
rivers inside
flow these eyes
falling, falling this world
come crawling back
i'm falling, falling this world
come crawling back
fall
crawl
this world
fall
crawl
back

5. What Heart

distance
cycle full moon
boundless return
tendrils envelop
to hold you
unfold and follow
these inverted disciples
reside in the hollow
open a new marrow
written with dying suns
oracles set in flames
flesh we are bound
binding projection
stripping ourselves
into separate cells
pure

6. Mautaam

for so long bound in timelessness
for i have walked as i have come
into this world alone
in the footsteps of the forgotten
toward horizons of famine
a deprived outline of celestial form
with masked eyes and burned minds
we shall wander
from sea to sea to sea
with a thirst
oceans toss and roar
with the fear in our hearts
search for what we've lost
but always possessed
breathe in a new, a new breath
now climb into shattered skies
elevate
over sleeping beasts
unleash
forgotten cries
bound
