Elephant - Ascending the Hallowed Eclipse lyrics

Wait, reflect and take the sands Appearing, transforming, preparing the plunge Renewed in phases manifesting spectres Restored yet contained within a vault Sights before a flying soul Remaining silent, only breathing slow Depths and heights of vindication Humiliated as exalted Metrics of mindflow integrate Transitioning shapes Decipher the metaphor Tearing the world afraid in belief Artful volition of supremacy Pestilent sings the burning eclipse Destiny a consequence of choices made Across the chapter of falling names Draining sunrays race the realm The shining man belongs of old Near the breath, words are gone Escape the surge of the dying They shall never leave this pit Or the putrefied throat of the wreathed animal Nor shall the hypnotic mouth be shut But remain wide, anticipating the damned Solar might and slithering fear Past the gallows of the hallowed cold Sailing night clings to crawling skin Sentient mercury invokes the task Spirits ascending convulsing Serpents striking from the coil Intricate carving Known beyond the beginning of life Since before nothing was born Long after the universe is naught
