CIRCLE OF OUROBORUS LYRICS

1. Dawn Piper

Hinges slowly creaking
Staggering voices leaking
With a faint memory of hate
Resembling our divine fate
Woes of winter are behind
Springs of light trembling
Hand in hand we return
Finally to sing in unison
We give thanks for your breath, father
Unto your name we sing loud and wide
With silent tongues we speak
Plugging the srings of soul
Listening to the tunes of nature
Hear the unsettling melodies
It's the dawn of a new age
Pipers yielding at the gates
Mankind dressed to mourn
Ascension of Antichrist's reign
The master's returning to reap
Sorrowful, sorrowful, filled with joy
In glory and mercy the noble destroy
Dreams of men in rigid cloth
Struggling for nightsky to touch
An ending in the uttermost fail
With a breath divine the righteous bail
Elderly Saturnal men as moon's children
With a dying soul forsake the darkened coil

2. The Longest Wave

Freezing, melting, freezing
Losing, finding, seeking
Coiling this endless string
To never face the spring

No past and no future
Only crippled circles of nature
Limping through slush and spleen
All diluted and dull and clean

Birds fly backwards
Beast vomits prey
Every scale is bursting
A seed made of clay
A sun is pale and weak
A moon is ablaze
A tide is turning
I do not know my face

See the blossoming flowers and the frost
See the useless birth and loss
See the snow so dark and gray
Light the night, kill the day

I try to find the world through this pane
I see myself and I feel the pain
Veiled reflections to undergo
The face of Prometheus I now know

The longest wave
Is this walk
Between the light
And the shadow
The longest wave
Is this walk
Between the light
And the shadow

3. Hear The Pulse

In the heart of the rampant woods
In the virgin forest
You can hear the note, the pulse
Everlasting through the seasons

Fruit and seed and every leaf
All is humming to this song
Lions and mice and every bird
All is humming to this song

The spiral of thousand colors
Is spinning in the eye
Of this green vast field
In blind mindless ecstasy

Thunder and rain and every ray
All is humming to this song
Virtues and demons and every soul
All is humming to this song

All is screaming to this song
All is roaring to this song
All is chirping to this song
All is howling to this song

4. You Are A Sleeping Ghost Like Me

You are a sleeping ghost like me
A hibernating soul in a dream
A touch in a mirror is all I receive
A crown in the dark, in a dream

Illusions of the end we live through
Twisting minds and cycles of moons
On a cliff we meet and embrace
Under us the dying human race

Is this for real and who will last?
The idea, the form or the cast?
We laugh and laugh and spread our wings
No need for answers, we just sing

5. Between Light And Shadow

6. Wind Rhyme

In my mouth the winds were gone in a moment's time
Men never saw them or heard their sweet rhyme
Their sweet rhyme...

We felt their presence during daytime bliss
So we slept and dreamt of night in serpent's warming kiss
A soothing kiss...

What you cannot see
What you will not see
That all you shall dream
That is all you shall dream

7. Mercury Blood

A sketch of a man
In the corner of a page
A cell in amber
A shadow of a soul

From this step I rise
Transform and evolve
From nothingness
And its innocent purity

Transparent flesh
And mercury blood
Flowing and turning
Like a berserk storm

Feelings from the void
Immaculate thoughts
The first step forward
And the line on the ground

In this world I rule
Conquer and absorb
In this emptiness
And its expanding heart

Transparent flesh
And mercury blood
Flowing and turning
Like a berserk storm
Like a berserk storm
Like a berserk storm

8. Remnants Of A King

A fallen throne in a fallen palace
Glows sadly like the eyes of an old man
There the remnants of glory
Withered to dust and bones

A majestic figure and stainless eyes
Now eaten by the smallest rats
A pounding heart and flaming blood
Now silent and faded away

Every tear of joy and grief
Every home of belief
Every pride and every shame
Now forgotten and without a name

Stone tablets full of honor and deeds
Bronze trumpets ready for fanfares
But who has skills to read or play
To remember this long and sad tale?

Gather gold and build monuments
See them rise and hear the cheer
In the end you are all the same
The king, the beggar, all the same

Every tear of joy and grief
Every hour of belief
Every pride and every shame
Now forgotten and without a name

For such is the way of this world
Where all glory is stained with old dust
Rising from the feet of fallen enemies
Descending over the tombs of victory

There is no sound or remembrance
No pictures to decorate the forgotten halls
An empire stripped of life
The woods crackle with age

Every tear of joy and grief
Every hour of belief
Every pride and every shame
Now forgotten and without a name

Every small laugh and glee
Every great victory
Every drop of existence
Now gone like everything else

Every tear
Every grief
Every hour
Every pride
Every shame
Every laugh
Every victory
Everything

9. From Chaldean Coffins

It only seems like yesterday
When we embarked on our journey
Yet the flaws born so far away
Still continue to lead
The blissful man by the hand
Stranded vessels upon her waters
Feet wet with quicksand
Relentlessly wasting their seed

As we take off from the surface
And behold the sunken blooms
Their fate shall further guide us
And nearly divide one division in two
From the initial radiant seven
United by their work (to become one)
Exceeding perfection to eleven
To love nothing but that which is true

Tapping into currents of destruction
Has lost all of its significance
Buried under the anvil of reason
The almighty omnipotence (of nothingness)
As the roots reach the sky from my casket
They impale my illusory skin
From our Chaldean dungeons and crosses
Blindness is our treasure to win
