The Vanishing Sea

from Infra by Metuzalem

lyrics

Fields of forgotten knowledge
Covered in dementia
Even in its
Loudest of tragedies
On the sands of creation
Vast in appearance
Hiding the throne
Below the vanishing sea

In this foundation of sand – fading from womb to waste
The blackest stream – of godless elegy
As time turns the cogs – to the victor comes the silence
Upon the crown of mind’s pestilence

The heralds of decay
From temples of eyes
Sewn shut
The icons of corrosion

To set against the fire
I shall give them plague
And they will all delight

Past is a prologue, poised by the illusionary whores
Inflaming the dry centuries of blood to come
Even now, there are waters carrying the weapons of calamity
Turning the cogs, turning the tides to our sands of burden

In this crystalline body
An abode of the dead
Samra Amora
Through eons is dragged

The perfume of salis
Donned in azure
Gnawing on secrets
Ghastly attuned

In the valley of Sidim
An apocryphal hole
Unnerving inhales
Amidst dying exhales

Sands of creation
Vast in appearance
Hiding the throne
Below the vanishing sea

"Letum moriendi
harenae oblitus tempus
sitiens caelum
suffocatio terra
in hoc mari
deus mortur et novam
maledictuonem
relinquit..."
