Imperator - The Rest Is Silence lyrics

[Bonus Track] The tide of advancing humanity has changed the world False wisdom of conspicuous reality has driven me mad Mythical beings of all sorts and kinds are flying memory Forms of which poetry and legend speak I can't forget Whatever the horror was Whenever the truth appeared d**h far from natural I found there in my dreams I hide the word of perversity Collected by oddity I neglet the power of human brain Insanity I obey, unworthy and sane In a dark space I felt aware Of a singular accession of fright As if someone emanation was engulfing my spirit Oh! I perveived the source of my alarm Thees places being exceeding dark Twisting perception and blackness too great I don't want to be anymore I shall never supply a link In so hideous a chain of paradoxical seriousness From these my thoughts escape I conceived my present fear thunder Of fire and lightning and unreal Led by my thoughts to the morbid chamber I found the truth the rest is silence My memories are very confused There is even much doubt as to where they begin I feel the image of years stretching behind me My identity, too is bewilderingly cloudy I remember how I read the book I was aware that I only dreamt I prayed only for awakening Instead I've found myself So I walked further in my slumber Now I fear for what I might find there I'm alone, there's no god where I am Is there fear in your heart? Where I am you are not Let my servants be few and secret
