THE ATLAS MOTH LYRICS

1. Jet Black Passenger

Heaven provokes through cracks in the wood
Their footsteps shake the ground below us
Now I'll lie with your bones on fire, eyes in ash

(Can you accept this invite among flames?
Can you accept this transmission to set us free?
Burn my eyes
Have you called me here to die?
Breathe the fire
Send me home again)

(Old ways
Believer
Always
Receiver
Lie still, don't speak a word
We'll lie still, don't speak a word
Just lie still)

Would you lay down all that you once believed
for a glimpse of the castle wall or the prince that lies within?
We belong here, one step outside the wall
Engulfed by a cleansing blaze, awaiting our end

(Can you accept this invite among flames?
Can you accept this transmission to set us free?
Burn my eyes
Have you called me here to die?
Breathe the fire
Send me home again.)

2. Collider

As we collide and time stands still
One last glimpse into the bitter cold

Do you see the brilliant spheres?
This night knows countless years

As we collide and time stands still
One last glimpse into the bitter cold

As you walk through here this day, take note, the shades have eyes
The golden order finds a way to close the circle

And we shall return to dust
a flash of what once was real

As we collide and time stands still
One last glimpse into the bitter cold

3. The Sea Beyond

I feel the ice is coming and I know her
The doomsday device is running on time
The winds of change will take you away

Will you travel safe to the other side?
Will you know what you left behind?
When you arrive can you reach beyond?

Show me your face
Just one last time
I need to see your eyes
So I lay in peace tonight

Will you travel safe to the other side?
Will you know what you left behind?
When you arrive...
My breath's held
Can you reach beyond?
To feel your touch

And I'd drop down on my knees and pray
if I felt it would bring you back to me
But I'll see you in every scar you left on me so I'd be here now

Where is the book that tells me how to grieve?
To save the link between our minds
The sea beyond is filled with crystal entities
Come down from up above
I see beyond the wall but you cant understand
I've never left this plane
And if I concentrate will you take shape again?
Or are you gone for good?

Be still upon your wings as you fly from here

When I close my eyes, I still hear your voice
My hand in yours, calming my fears
I know you're always with me.

4. Halcyon Blvd

I saw the great heart failing
I saw the feathered man die
This constellation's been calling me
to wake up and ask him why

Sit back and breathe in the cool night air
Tonight could be our last change
Sit back and enjoy the calming breeze
Let's cherish a peaceful moment
How blind are we
to the truth of what we are?
If it was up to me,
our place of origin would set us free

When we walk through the valley
of apathy and self-control
We loose sight of the final sequence,
an-all encompassing whole

Sit back and breathe in the cool night air
Tonight could be our last change
Sit back and enjoy the calming breeze
Let's cherish a peaceful moment
How blind are we
to the truth of what we are?
If it was up to me,
our place of origin would set us free

Tune in
and shut out the rest of the world
Pay mind
and give praise to all that surrounds us
Nothing else is real,
it's all diversions for our glazed eyes
So we fail to believe

I feel safe inside the earth
She's told me what we're made of
It feels like I belong now
In my second life

5. Sacred Vine

Running through my mind,
seeking the truth
Hoping to find my way
through my own haze
Mother Ayahuasca, suffer the pain
Summon the birds
to sing a song in my brain

Closer to space where the lines disappear
A face in the hall but it's not quite clear
An old man,
he showed me our mission at hand
There's no way around, it's written in sand
Before my eyes, my future in sand

Mother Ayahuasca,
will you suffer my pain?
Send me in thirds
to dance alone in the rain
Will she save me from my own demise?
I seem to have shed my skin

Closer to space where the lines disappear
A face in the hall but it's not quite clear
An old man,
he showed me our mission at hand
There's no way around, it's written in sand
Before my eyes, my future in sand

It feels like something's wrong
Just learn to let it go
It feels like something's wrong
And let the vine take hold

I've found what I've been looking for
Deep within, a love all for myself

I sat and prayed for the sun
to go down the mountain
I know what harmony means
I felt the force, I felt the motion

6. The Old Believer

I will not follow the blind and betray my heart
Let's reveal your cloak and dagger affair
Your obsessive lust for your collapse

To deny the path will be what buries the heart
The conviction you lack will be a haunting voice that remains

Can you feel me in your veins?
Bare your soul and breathe in the blackened frost

To deny the path will be what buries the heart
The conviction you lack will be a haunting voice that remains
to remind you of the past

We're the rejects who wander the sky
We have a place for you here
Tune to our frequency, leave your friends behind
Bring with your decency and peace will find you

I'll catch a stare from your coffin eyes
I'll walk away and leave behind all the weight of the world

I'll carry on, never look back, with no regrets

7. City Of Light

As I traveled inside to the heart of the mountain
I woke up to the sound of the earth
and I want to be cleaned
of the doubt and the fear
that have always been here inside me
Take me in, show me how to vibrate like you

Show me calm

Show me calm from the inside looking out at you
Have you been listening?
Every word's been for you

As the light bathes my skin and a dew day has began
I feel your aching presence surround me
While the anguish fades from me and I find you there

It's hard to see clear in the mist that surrounds
The light from the temple door
It's adorned with a gift and a prayer and a wish
From the nobles who walked here before
We offer our best and we'll fight to the death
To keep the old dream alive
For now we'll stay here to catch a stray ear
The new world will hope to survive

Pray for us

8. Wynona

I tried not to fall for every trap you set
I tried to wait for you to see yourself come undone
I tried to wait for you to see what I saw in you

You'll find relief in your shallow grave
We'll drag the body down to the well
and wash all his sins away
With a clear conscience, every problem drifts beneath

I tried not to fall for every trap you set
I tried to wait for you t see yourself come undone
I tried to wait for you to see what I saw in you

I feel you know every lie you've told
has left you alone
Forgotten to rot
with your ghosts in your vanishing tomb

And now we'll carry on
as you have ceased to exist in the light

9. Hesperian

The sky won't allow the earth to fade away
I won't allow this to take me down
But who are we to say a star dies every day
Now I know just where you were
Looking down and asking, "why?"
Hopelessly

I am the words to set you free
Look to me and find your peace
You were the one who saved me
Now let me do the same for you
You were the light that guides the path
Follow me, I'll lead the way
You were the one who saved me
Now let me do the same for you

Now I stand in your footprints
Looking for answers I may not find
But I'll be your bones as you were mine
I'll ask myself how you stood still while not collapsing

To become whole I must first fall
The sky is the only one who knows how
to assemble the pieces like before
Eruption leads to rebirth
Just let it go

10. Blood Will Tell

How did you defy such gravity?
How did you define your tragedy?

Now realize your world has been placed at your feet
Now realize your fate lies square in your hands

Free yourself from what wears you down
Chase the sun each and every day

Each day we wait to act
Each time we fail
Each star that passes by has left a trail

Free yourself from what wears you down
Chase the sun each and every day

Now only blood will tell between the lines in the sky

I feel the walls crumbling down around this deceitful shrine
I hope this message in blood finds you well

We will light the sky on fire and ignite the world
