EPHEL DUATH LYRICS

1. Black Prism

I lie between layers of perception
I'm neither here or there
Twice but still nothing
My image multiplies while my sight plays dead and regress

I've lost any mass
Mutant consistence
My shadow is no more
Tied to dimensions
I don't belong to
My center is now a black prism
Reflecting nothing but
Pale
Blue
Floating cemetery flames

Look through me as I dissolve
Try to catch a glimpse or something
And give it back
Feed the circle

There's an old root
I spotted
Big hole like that cancerous lung
I'll hide in there I think
Playing as the mist
Slowing raising from the soil
While I keep dissolving into thin cold air

My arms as dried branches
My heart as an old burl
Let's get a fire on
At least
Smoke I inhale
Smoke I may become
I'm neither here or there
Neither here or there

Solitude is what I keep being called to stand for
A ghost trail
I keep find directions for
Keep walking one way
Keep leaving no trace
Keep being blind
Keep looking up to the sky.

2. Raqia

I see you rising
Where spheres collide
Up to the highest of all
And here I stare
This shining nightmare again

You
The humming voice
I keep hearing the whisper
Parasitic mind getting closer and closer
A second and third layer of skin
Begging for some life and warmth

You are the firmament
I wander in
There
When my sight loses hope
And I fail myself again
I'm just nerves
Tired bones
A scared heart

You are that shadow filling my eyes
My guard is down again
There's still no will
Desire or strength
To fight that back

You may be as lonely as I feel
But the emptiness around you is cosmic
Immense
While mine tastes just like flesh

I slip further
Faster
And I keep looking there
At that grinning void
That ate you

All what I'm gaining
Is a self feeding rage
Stealing my traits

Long liquefied echoes
Shape my memories
And I wonder
If nine stars blinking
Are those nine fingers of yours
Ready to grab me
And this blind run
That is my life.

3. Stardust Rain

I hold my balance
Through Death and Cosmos
Soil and rusty nails in one hand
Moon rays on the other
Nose up to the sky
Feet sinking in this swamp
Half way to both direction

I am the broken scale
I am where wind blows
Heavy but weightless
Silent as a blaring sudden storm
Hidden from your sight
Hidden from all your smiles

I am the headless horse
Running straight to the cliff
Clouds may slow down the fall
Stardust rain will heal my open wounds
And I'll keep going
'Till that black whole
Will suck me away
Squeezing bones and entrails
To a flat dimension
Where here is there
And fear has not that face anymore

I am the black coat
Where stars hide in
I protect each of them
One by one
They keep shining to live
I let them burning to live
To my slow death I aim to

Gold rain
Particles of infinite
Fuse my blood into a timeless space
My new lymph is blinking

Cast into stones
Pulsing through old centenary veins
Drawing spirals and eating spirals
Spirals eating spirals

Stardust rain
Clean up my tears
Force me to rest
Burn to purify
Burn to reshape
Through ashes
Through smoke
I'll be again.
