Dirge - Wings Of Lead Over Dormant Seas lyrics

Marble clouds stretch, over there As I try to follow This hazy shade This icy shade Twisting and blurring in the distance Footsteps, elusive, disappearing Far away in a million directions Anywhere, elsewhere, nowhere But I would murder a thousand d**hs I could stop the clocks and hold my breath To grasp you for real To grab anything Melting wax, cracking gla** Multiply your face in many forms Fragments and fragments and fragments In a tunnel of mirrors In a corridor of sand There's a snowblinding glare The horizons of maud land And I roam and I crawl Like drifting through aeon Through iron walls abandon I roam and I call for you For I linger still In this world of emptiness I picture your fragrance Through the afterflesh Wings of lead over dormant seas Burden of feathers You, blue seraph, vanishing Trying to flicker as you burn In the hands of mighty sun Incandescent solar flares Consuming rainbows in your hair Until you fall, hereafter Far, far away Dim lily-white light Out of sight And within smoke, within mist Among dead and lying trees I lose your track I lose my way And now this home is a maze With children-headed walls Spitting cries Spitting wails At my face As I howl And I die k**ing time Counting hours, watching days fall One by one And I die spending nights On the paths of grief, serpentine Waiting for glows to heal Waiting for whispers to speak Wishing for sleep to come And restart everything There is a silence where hath been no sound There is a silence where no sound may be There is this silence Drumming, beating, bursting my ears She rises, rises, higher and higher Scratches the roof of universe Then dives, alas, sinks in my veins Drumming beating, breathing in my brain This is the morphic waving endless void A ghostly orchestra for swarms of insects Scarabs and locusts and furies play in my chest Drumming, beating, without rest Can you see those devouring fires Spreading infinity and silence, this silence Don't you hear the immaculate wings of absence Drumming, beating in a deafening cadence Humming blows, fractured ground, starlight in pieces Dying haloes all around, melting seas and shrinking spaces And where you as the world falls apart Drumming beating, drowning in my heart Silence will have taken your place When I rise towards the surface Six walls wide and blank When I reach the riverbank And now everything is nothingness And nothingness is where I stand Just a small twinkling star Pulsing, carved in my hand A green iris Staring Gazing An eye wide open, a tiny fire Tears and embers Rolling along in my fingers And in every searing moonbeam Through aching mercury dreams In every scary nightblow I can guess your face through the floe But anyway... The claws of gravity can crush me And nail me deeply Down to the earth I will stay at the gate Waiting and waiting To slaughter and trample on Those unlighted saints Lying on the floor Those beasts of prey Those stealing who*es Those starving supernovas Those infrablack omegas Eating love, spitting grief From above, from beneath Changing children into silence This silence This drilling, pounding presence Endless Soundless Terrifying sentence Whirling louder and louder This silence As a drummer
