OBSCURA LYRICS

1. Anticosmic Overload

This is the anti, the anticosmic overload
And storms in emulation growl
From land to sea, from sea to land
And fashion as they wildly howl

Though none may hope to fathom thee
Still glorious are thy works of might

A circling wonder working band
Destructive flames in mad career
Precede thy thunders on their way
Yet lord thy messengers revere

In spreading billows foams the ocean
Spheres whirl around in endless motion
And cliff and sea with mighty shock
Still glorious are thy works of might

This is the anti, the anticosmic overload
Revolves the earth in splendour bright
From land to sea, from sea to land
And fashion as they wildly howl

2. Choir Of Spirits

In his blessed name, who was his own creation
Who from all time makes his own vocation
The name of him who makes our faith so bright
Love, confidence, activity and might

In that ones name who named through oft he be
Unknown is ever in reality
As far as our ear can reach
Or eyesight dim

Thou findest but the known resembling him
How high soar thy fiery spirit hovers
Its smile and type it straight discovers
Onward, thou art drawn
With feelings light and clear

Where ever thou goest, your mind is the way
No more thou numbrest, reckonest no time
Each step is infinite, each step sublime

Unknown is ever in reality
As far as our ear can reach
Or eyesight dim

3. Universe Momentum

On the white summit of eternity
A single Soul bare infinites,
Guarded he keeps by a fire-screen of peace
His mystic loneliness of nude ecstasy.

But, touched by an immense delight to be,
Loos across unending depths and sees
Musing amid the inconsistent silences

At the world's dawn, at the cosmic night

Absorbed in thoughts, abomination
Captured in flesh, celestial mind
Emotional fragments, chamber of nowhere

Waiting and watching for the sign send,
As out of the vortex my mind will blend
Caught in the turmoil, spinning around,
Reaching for calm, not to be found.

4. Incarnated

When the moist and balmy gale
Round the verdant meadow sights,
Odours sweet in misty veil
At the twilight-hour arise
Murmurings soft of calm repose

Rock the heart to child-like rest,
And the day's bright portals close
On the eyes with toil oppressed
Night already reigns over all

Strangely star linked to star
Planets, mighty sparkling small
Glitter near and gleam afar
Gleam above in clearer night

Glitter in the glassy sea
Pledging pure and calm delight
Rules the moon in majesty
Now each well known hour is over

Trust the newborn eye of day
Vales grow verdant, hillocks teem
Shady nooks the bushes yield and with waving silvery gleam
Wouldst thou wish for wish obtain

Cast the shell of sleep away
Tarry not, but be thou bold
When the many loiter still
All with ease may be controlled

5. Orbital Elements

[Instrumental]

6. Desolate Spheres

I close my eyes and the sun goes out
Hold a breath and all of the creatures fall dead
Cover my ears and the universe goes silent

Not a water drop
Not a heartbeat
Not a sound from a songbird in any of the 4 corners

I swallow the stars until they burn like coals through my eyes
My outline glows against the night sky like an eclipse of the sun
And sparks follow each of my movements like a shower of meteors

I light up the sky with the Aurora
Comets appear before dawn

He greets us at death in that quiet place that is faint in our memories
That place that has always been there but we can't quite remember

When you cross that bridge to the other world, open the door and step through
Step through the stars, swim through the gate,
Touch the very boundaries of the universe

7. Infinite Rotation

Mass, energy, space and time
This is the way the world ends
Chaos of Aeon into the void

Behold the star shining,
Bright behind the Universe Gate.
Cool waters sifting
Bitter memories away.

Whistling golden sand
Comes to rest so bright
In the invisible oasis land
A desert drought so tight

Among the pyramids of Egypt, in a run
The spider weaves a net.
False radiance streaming from the sun
Foul richness leaving all to fret.

8. Noosphere

I pass beyond time and life on measureless wings
Yet still am one with born and unborn things

I have wrapped the wide world in my wider self
And time and space my spirit's seeing are
I am the god and demon, ghost and elf
I am the wind's speech and the blazing star

All nature is the nursling of my care (death metal)
I am its struggle and the eternal rest
The world's joy thrilling runs through me, I bear
The sorrow of millions in my lonely breast

I have learned
A close identity
Yet am by nothing bound
That I become

All culture is like this, the unfettered mind (death metal)
The boundless spirit is more imagination
To achieve great things, we must be self confined
Mastery is revealed in limitation

Carrying in me
The universe's call
I mount to my
Imperishable home

9. Cosmogenesis

For evermore the sphere of human thoughts
Reunites the abyss, god and light
Silence fill the emptiness of space
Humand kind degrades the human race

In the crawling inner mourning flame,
A reed of thousands souls regret
To form an eternal wave
Meeting of the spirits

That manmade shell of human fragments
Dissected, skinned show a new truth
Existence wraps into cold dimension
Lifeless breath of old revelation.

Bound into a stillborn level, built with any light
Consciousness, to them describe all sin
Consumed by fire, ascending to the night
Cosmogenesis,
Six wings on the left, six wings on the right

Cosmogenesis, rotten universe
Cosmogenesis, void dimension
Cosmogenesis, breed of worlds
Cosmogenesis, final black sermon

10. Centric Flow

The primal energy infuses everything and nature awakens
Flowers bloom, waterfalls tumble into immense canyons,
And the animals evolve as consciousness races back to its source
Shiva reveals his secret to Matseyendra

The secret of the ages, the secret of life
And then turns into a statue of Kayavarohan,
Awaiting discovery someday by one who seeks awakening

Awakening happens only in the next world,
The next, and the following
But the promise of awakening is here and now
And without the promise, there is only cold and darkness

But Shiva remains hiding just out of sight
He reveals himself last, if ever
For to discover
Shiva is to understand the mystery that has no answer

And the dance goes on even though worlds collide,
The sun burns out and the universe freezes
It just awaits the next step
