XAON LYRICS

1. Monolith

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson]

I am a pillar
I am a rock
A universal constant
A question mark
Do I exist
I feel nothing
But catharsis

Ignite and rewind
Feel the crumbling design of your molten mind
And greet the pillars
Of ascension
Erase and revive
This obelisk holding your ethereal arch
O Monolith
My quintessence torn
At the edge of the Phaneron

Eternal structure
Consumed by rot
Apocryphal resilience
Obsidian nightmares slowly turn into euphoria
And the pillars fall

Ignite and rewind
Feel the crumbling design of your molten mind
And greet the pillars
Of ascension
Erase and revive
This obelisk holding your ethereal arch
O Monolith
My quintessence torn
At the edge of the Phaneron

Sing
And watch the tree of life fall without a sound
Let the past fall to pieces as the pain increases
Let the pillars fall

Sing
And turn this gushing wound into a scar
Breath
Ignite your flayed heart into a star

I've been living a lie my soul trapped in a windowless cell
10,000 years down the line roaming my own fiery hell
Monolith, unyielding agonising sealed in a bottomless pit
A testament to the flagellant mind

Monolith
Monolith...
Ignite and rewind
Feel the crumbling design of your molten mind
And greet the pillars
Of ascension
Erase and revive
This obelisk holding your ethereal arch
O Monolith
My quintessence torn
At the edge of the Phaneron

Monolith
Monolith
Monolith
Monolith...

2. Carillon

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson]

A tower echoes of empyrean might
The ground is shaken by ravenous thunder
Nebulas come crashing and blazing
The remnants of this ghastly shrine

Havoc cries amid the Levin cracked sky
What once bloomed is now flayed to obsidian
I cannot wait for these bells to chime
For the morrow will never rise

Listen to the knell
A Moebian fantasy
That leaves a wistful smile

Ride the wave
Of time and space aligned
In Chaos intertwined

Heedless night
A terrifying scream
Are you but a dream

I am aghast
Tethered by alchemy
Rippling madness this wintery solstice
Has spoiled this fantasy
Like a ship made of mist
On a quicksilver ocean
I drift towards thine chant of woe O Carillon

With zeal and bliss
Travelling far and wide
Through the mind of the Octrain Dimension
I strive

Forlorn
This sight is an omen of doom
Forlorn
This sea is a heartbreaking tomb

Cursed be the spawn who rings the Carillon
And finds solace in oblivion
Back from the Heavens the Dreamer awakens ready to be born again
Wicked Tartarean the Gods have all fallen under the dictum of men

From the depths of space I arise
You will forever hear my cry

I was forged by Stardust
Moulded by the cosmic clouds
I am the Crux
Of the Universe

Carillon
Your shrilling ring has carried
To Apostasy
Delirium
Invoking the thunder
My heart torn asunder
Blow me away

3. Solipsis

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson]

I, awakened by a field of dreams
I, forsaken, nothing is what it seems
Why couldn't I open my eyes and see this world of stone
Why couldn't I realize that I was all alone

All is silence
Oh river Nihil
Drifting denial

I see the void, a mirror in your eyes
Vacuous cognizance, a lifetime of lies
What happens to your soul when you're crushed to the bone
What happens in your mind when you are really all alone

Quand le ciel se déchirant déversera un flot de flamme
Et aspirera le fluide étrange de ses coquilles vides foulant ce sol torturé
Alors en fin je marcherais réellement seul sur cette terre
Car je suis Solipsis

Solipsis
Your name echoes through the land
Solipsis
Your wind blows me to the edge of the earth

When the sky, tearing apart, will storm a stream of flames
And siphon the strange fluid from these empty shells roaming the earth
Finally I will walk, truly alone on this tormented ground
As I am

Solipsis
Your name is but a curse
A sickness

The feeling is adverse
Relentless

Do not be afraid
Why can't I bring myself to let go of this flesh
But it's too late for me now, I'm as good as gone
I can't carry the weight
Release me from this pain

Solipsis
Your name echoes through the land
Solipsis
Your wind blows me to the edge of the earth
Solipsis
Your soul is calling my name
Solipsis
Make me one with the universe

4. Mobius

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson]

Weeping willow, weary swivel
From a crystal palace the mind befalls
And spirals down an everlasting trail
Running through endless corridors

A mirror maze, an endless gaze
Far-seer clouded by the haze
Labyrinth infinity
I'm lost in this rhizome

Come to light
Mobius

I am the preacher with words no one can hear
I am the danger with thoughts that no one can bare
The Paraclete with a mouth sewed shut
The eschaton chained on Caucasus

A stone resonates a beating drum
VITRIOLUM
Up becomes down and down is up
And dawn erupts

I see a river flowing
Blackening
A beaming ocean soaring high
The waves intensify

As I reach up I'm reaching down
Bringing forth a will below
Pushing beyond the words of reason
And causing strength above to grow

Drifting in the night's Plutonian shore
My reality shaken at its very core
And no one left to implore

Face the shadow you ignored

Your calcined remains
Have become gaunt from days of yore

Let your body expurgate
Your writhing soul
One day all will be left will be the ruins
Of a Babylonian throne

Come to light
Mobius

As I reach up I'm reaching down
Bringing forth a will below
Pushing beyond the words of reason
And causing strength above to grow

5. Eros

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson]

From shattered dreams and wondrous spells, a light quivers in a faint glow
A dying heart in briny tears caught in the profound undertow
What once shined bright, so radiant, a purpose dragged into the mud
I see paintings of burning citadels causing death amongst angels

Dreams foregone
Turning into stone
I believed in fantasies achieved
Oh Eros
Leave me lost before the animus

Today I saw a sparrow, a beam of light in the shade
If I had wings I'd cut them off and build a cross for my grave
I'd prowl the masses screeching hoisting a banner of shame
And cut this fallacy of life thrown in chaotic waves

Dreams foregone
Turning into stone
I believed in fantasies achieved
Oh Eros
Leave me lost before the animus

Paint the world in flames
Set your soul ablaze
And finally unleash this rage
I received this tormenting deceit
Oh Eros
Leave me dead before the animus

Eros
Celestial body blazing through the sky
Eros
A memory of aeons left behind
Eros
A shattered mirror in front of my eyes
Eros
A failed attempt to let the past die

Eros
Ashy silk cascading down your dress
Eros
Deceiving eyes that couldn't care less
Eros

A finger pressed against your lips
Eros
Words create the apocalypse

Eros
The black coach of sorrow has taken me away
Eros
Into the starless night's archway
Eros
A dead and buried memory
Eros
How could you abandon me

6. Cipher

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson]

From ghoulish ink and a canvas dull
Scriptures appear from beaming quills
Arrogant plumes from squawking gulls
Fathomless codex of winged wills
Ochery symbols festering on my flesh scorching
Sending me in deep disarray
The abstruse symbols start glowing
As my body radiates telluric waves

Alphabetic pestilence
The alliterative architect manifests

An echo from aeonic days
A ripple from ionic waves
This tribulation
A congregation of broken paragons

And so I wonder
My thoughts yonder
My query incomplete
What does it all mean

I drown in a cipher sea
Paranoiac dysphoria

Lux inferis
Lumen desuper
Lumen ad umbra
Lumen tenebris

A bubble bursts in conflagration
A haunting cosmic symphony
As I enter in communion
With the abysmal litany

Weeping through this chaos
A whirlpool of destruction
These whipping winds try to strike me down
And I'm brought to my knees in supplication

I'm just sitting here my body marked with burning iron
A cryptic shrine, a tribute to the infinite oblivion

I drown in a cipher sea
Paranoiac dysphoria
A poison so heavenly
Bloodstained euphoria

7. Beast

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson]

Before me the unbound
Ceremoniously wandering
Before me the mutating swine
Escaping from within

Prowling in chaos in a thick black smoke
Drowning my mercurial mind
I dream of this golden light piercing from above
And following the beast away from space and time

Deepen the rift in my soul
You the creator of my upheaval
You the bearer of my evil

OM SO HUM

Let the past fall in Sephirotic bliss
Your spirit dive into the fathomless abyss
Rise from the sulphur as a sprite of ether
And finally become The One

When all is just darkness and the pain is great
Love what you become, become what you hate
When all the shadows start to animate
Dance in the oblivion that you shall create

Become the monster who knocks at the door
Unleash your inner demons
Become the master that all shall adore
Embrace your own hell

Shedding the skin off my air tight corpse
I see a vision of the macrocosm
I fire away in the celestial abyss
And feast in the company of Saturn himself

8. River

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson]

River, river
Grave and old
River, river
Why so cold?

River, river
Narrow creak
River, river
Why so bleak?

River, river
Overflown
River, river
Turn the stone

River, river
Mountain borne
River, river
Mountain torn

River, river
Fair and calm
River, river
Dreams foregone

River, river
Twilight drift
River, river
Moony rift

River, river
Lost in time
River, river
So divine

River, river
Lost in space
River, river
Full of grace

River, river
Dreamers doom
River, river
Poet's tomb

River, river
Let me cry
River, river
Let me die

9. Mask

[Music by Xaon, lyrics by Rob Carson]

Pain is the only lesson that I can not abate
A spiteful forlorn feeling that keeps fueling the hate
Crackles in the iron cast opening the door
I'll be trapped in this nightmare forevermore

Plague holds the mask
A painted icy shrine
Push the veil in efflorescence
And herein lays the lie

When the mask, so heavy, crumbles to the ground
When the scars start screaming this unearthly sound
I'll lay bare my earthen flesh enslaved by this iron cast
The third mask falls, I am exposed

Plague holds the mask
A painted icy shrine
Push the veil in efflorescence
And herein lays the lie

Whispers, call them what they are
Rustling the fallen leaves that mark the end of all
Picking up the pieces of my mind blazed to embers
The mask falls, the whispers reign in awe

When the sky weighs like a grievous lid
Upon a spirit aching for the light
A spleen so terrible growing amid
This barren horizon of blight
The sun goes down
The sun goes down

Plague holds the mask
A painted icy shrine
Push the veil in efflorescence
And herein lays the lie

A scorched flag rose to apogee
And dirges around at skyfall
I'll exhale my last weeping plea
As the mask burns my weary skull

The night's endless hegemony
Is nothing but a dreary fall
Impacts of celestial bodies
Crushed by her unrelenting rale
