The Sacrificial Flame

Oh, life

Oh, barren wasteland

A wandering callous dream

We are rising and transcending

These dreamless gods, never-ending

The shackles of your demons fall silent

The shackles of your demons fall

A maelstrom of silvery light breaks the simulation

And the dark face of Eve paints the Sethian sky

Oh, life

So frail

Rests your body in decay

Now surpassing the corporal

One final horrid astonishment

The shackles of your demons fall silent

The shackles of your demons fall

You brought death, heartbreak and pain

Your mother wept and welcomed the rain

For the lives we've led, for the songs we've sang

Like one last breath on the sacrificial flame

Soul, matter, spirit, desire

Soul, matter, spirit, desire

Soul, matter, spirit, desire

The Achamoth raped on the funeral pyre

Soul, matter, spirit, desire

Soul, matter, spirit, desire

Earth, wind, water and fire

The Achamoth raped on the funeral pyre

And here, each flower, each flame

Every new-born child

Wears a garment of sorrow

For peace cannot ascend

With blood on my hands

And war throughout our lands

'Cause here, this bountiful Earth

The harvest static and bound

'Cause here, under Achamoth skies

Where you assembled our confinement

I raise my head from the water

The unknown has no filter

Oh, Lord

Oh, dreadful watcher

Your ruin will only scratch my skin

The shackles of your demons fall silent

The shackles of your demons fall

You brought death, heartbreak and pain

Your mother wept and welcomed the rain

For the lives we've led, for the songs we've sang

Like one last breath on the sacrificial flame
