Dissolution

Returning from the wilderness
An age seems to have elapsed
Of devotion and words unpoken
Allegiances summoned and broken

From nights macabre and endless
May the neophyte rise with the tide
Unshackled, the mind and senses
Such beastly onrush inside
For Nephesch to emerge

(Lead - A: Tentacles Lurk Beneath Torrential Waves)

Colours from the past
Caught at last in the core of an opal
Tapping into streams manifest
To face the greatest mystery of all

Dense and crystalline is
The crimson flood that pours on the heath
Rapture of the earth
Praeter naturam, henosis achieved
Awakened and boundless
To unlock the forces and currents within
Each Sephira lit in their path, vortices brightened

Embracing the gloom
As ageing eyes open anew
Emanation of the absolute
To rise as apex predator
To ride with Eos, crushing
The holy and the impollute
Free of hypocrisy and fear, smiling
Finally at peace with the repulsiveness inside

Above and below, bells toll celestial
At the elevation of the host and atonement
To traverse higher and higher
Upon the utmost firmaments of Nu
Roaming, from endless meadows
That know no innocence or crime
To reach and enter the abyss
That forever crowns the mind

Inverting the conscious to find the divine
Dissolving and merging idol and seer alike
A lone and nightly journey plagued with briars
The hidden paths of always internalized

(Lead - I: Precipicial Descent Among Laughing Vultures)

And above, the understanding supernal
Alone in company, the many into one
The coiled serpent springs inside
In its coiling there is joy to find
I am the stranger, ever
