Infinite Spectrum - The Stranger Things I've Learned lyrics

Silence, without exception Not one soul would I tell of the disastrous expedition to the church on Federal Hill I lose myself in research at the library downtown Through years of old newspaper files, for me the printed page recounts Lost in daydreams of hide and seek It's looking through the crystal, staring back at me Lost in nightmares and elegies Something claims my soul and I cannot break free Obsession with this cryptogram I found within the leather volume amidst the dust and mildew in the cobwebbed vestry room The cipher I discover is not a simple one A code in language strange, uncommon, a puzzle from beyond In June I solve the quandary, research in matters magic black The text is in dark Aklo, a language ancient and abstract I fear these things uncovered from behind the walls of sleep I never thought ignorance was bliss, but now I'm in too deep I see the birds of spring avoid the gaunt lone church's spire Whispers on the wind The darkness closing in Every evening, the old impulse to gaze westward returns The terror grows, as the hours pa** from the stranger things I've learned Lost in daydreams of hide and seek It's looking through the crystal, staring back at me Lost in nightmares and elegies Something claims my soul and I cannot break free Lost in daydreams of hide and seek It's looking through the crystal, staring back at me Lost in nightmares and elegies Something claims my soul and I cannot break free Every evening, the old impulse to gaze westward returns The terror grows, as the hours pa** from the stranger things I've learned
