CIRCLE OF OUROBORUS LYRICS

1. Cast In Clay

The womb of silent procreation
Is breathing in its own pace
Like an eye of the storm
Which sleeps but doesn't close

Instinctive movement
Eight stances of meditation
Without thought or meaning
The eternal circulation

The song without sound
And the unwritten notes
The invisible move
And the churning dance

The shoreless sea encircles
The birth and the dive
Breath water and energy
Drink air and grow, reach the shores

Instinctive movement
Eight stances of meditation
Without thought or meaning
The eternal circulation

The phantom and the ghost disappear
Materia flows to the mould
The hymn of the heart will
Never wither silent

2. Black Hole Womb

An embryo in the dark
In the perfect nothingness
A small figure in the corner
Of the church of a veiled god

Black hole womb
Circles and whirlpools
Black hole womb
Ready to break through

Through the black mirror
The light that devours all
Galaxies are crumbling to ruins
A foundation of my victory

A scaly umbilical chord
My rosary, their noose
I breathe and absorb
Every molecule is my slave

Black hole womb
Circles and whirlpools
Black hole womb
Ready to break through

And when all that you know and all that you dream
Has passed the line and turned upside down
You'll see how there is a spark in a skull
A black light burns the starry ground

3. The Way Of The Will

Those who reach to the stars don't live with them
And those who see themselves in the mirror
- They are frightening men
Those who touch the cold surface don't feel the heat
Those who wander in the dark side of the moon
Only have dust under their feet

I am not one of those who seek only life
Nor one of those obsessed with death
I balance on the knife
I'm ready to open my heart and let enter it all
The universe with its joyful demons
- And sleeping gods
Are you ready to heed the call?

4. Skyline Painter

From the earth to the sky
What you see is what you own
Take a glance and stretch your view
Swallow this universe with your eyes

I am the comet flying backwards
A quill of fire taken from phoenix's tail
When the stars come home
I paint the tree on the sky

My feet have touched this soil for too long
Too many years in the sorcerer's lonely chamber
I have opened my mind so I open the door
To bring my thoughts to practice

I am the comet
A quill of fire

5. Ride The Wolf

I draw my bow and let the arrow fly
My heart will follow it across the sky
Through the clouds and layers of air
Into the mighty shining lair

Ride the wolf
Across the vast fields
Cling to fur
Fur of diamond rays

Seven torches cast their light and shadow
On every mountain peak and meadow
In the heart of this glorious beast
Condense the powers of kings

Its howl will pierce every single ear
The radiance to wipe out every tear
The lids of our eyes and the lids of our graves
So many to crush and so few to save

I raise my sun-shaped goblet high
And the crescent dagger shines bright
I wait for the order from the lords of the flame
To slit and drink and fly away

"Sirius rises late in the dark liquid sky
on summer nights, star of stars
Orion's dog they call it, brightest
of all, but an evil portent bringing heat
and fevers to suffering humanity"
[-Homer]

6. Mirror Universe

Roots as tunnels
- Tunnels of Set, tunnels below
Worms as doves
- Doves of peace, doves of war

From the hills through the night
Give a blessing to the thirteen moons
From the temples around the bends
Fall asleep when the nightingale croons

Dreams as guides
- Dreams of a sun, dreams so long
Starry schemes
- Schemes to untie the right from the wrong

Borders as shadows
- Shadows of fools, shadows of moons
Walls as mirrors
- Walls are built by our ignorance

Let the hammer of wisdom fall
Ignite the torches of our goddess
Let her walk with us
In the shadow of her horns

Like kings in a deck of cards
Two have become one
Connection made in a thousand ways
I split my soul to feel more

7. Toivosta Syntynyt

Rauhan meren rantamilla
Hiilivuorten hiiltyneissä
Raunioissa raadelluissa
Kahden kiven välissä

Multaa kourallisen verran
Ravinteilla rauhoitettu
Ja tässä kitukohdussa se
Siemenen puolikas

Vaikka iskee taivas tulta
Happosateet hyväilevät
Toivo elää, antaa voimaa
Vääntää luonnon lait rikki

Ja kun tomu talven kostuu
Ja piston pilvi vihdoin saa
Silloin avaruuskin huokaa
Lehti vihreästä kullasta

Pimeyden peiton alla
Unien untuvahorroksessa
Nukkuu taimi taianlainen
Surunhauras, ilonherkkä

Emme uskoneet, ette uskoneet
Mutta jokin tiesi sen
Emme sanoneet, ette sanoneet
Mutta kaikkeus huusi korvaamme totuuden

Kuori sylkee salaisuuden
Joka peittyy ajan tuhkaan
Silti Saturnus nyt sulaa
Aurinko revitään radaltaan
