Dirge - Wings Of Lead Over Dormant Seas lyrics
rate meMarble clouds stretch, over there<br />
As I try to follow<br />
This hazy shade<br />
This icy shade<br />
Twisting and blurring in the distance<br />
Footsteps, elusive, disappearing<br />
Far away in a million directions<br />
Anywhere, elsewhere, nowhere<br />
<br />
But I would murder a thousand deaths<br />
I could stop the clocks and hold my breath<br />
To grasp you for real<br />
To grab anything<br />
Melting wax, cracking glass<br />
Multiply your face in many forms<br />
Fragments and fragments and fragments<br />
<br />
In a tunnel of mirrors<br />
In a corridor of sand<br />
There's a snowblinding glare<br />
The horizons of maud land<br />
<br />
And I roam and I crawl<br />
Like drifting through aeon<br />
Through iron walls abandon<br />
I roam and I call for you<br />
<br />
For I linger still<br />
In this world of emptiness<br />
I picture your fragrance<br />
Through the afterflesh<br />
Wings of lead over dormant seas<br />
Burden of feathers<br />
You, blue seraph, vanishing<br />
Trying to flicker as you burn<br />
In the hands of mighty sun<br />
Incandescent solar flares<br />
Consuming rainbows in your hair<br />
Until you fall, hereafter<br />
Far, far away<br />
Dim lily-white light<br />
Out of sight<br />
<br />
And within smoke, within mist<br />
Among dead and lying trees<br />
I lose your track<br />
I lose my way<br />
And now this home is a maze<br />
With children-headed walls<br />
Spitting cries<br />
Spitting wails<br />
At my face<br />
As I howl<br />
<br />
And I die killing time<br />
Counting hours, watching days fall<br />
One by one<br />
And I die spending nights<br />
On the paths of grief, serpentine<br />
Waiting for glows to heal<br />
Waiting for whispers to speak<br />
Wishing for sleep to come<br />
And restart everything<br />
<br />
There is a silence where hath been no sound<br />
There is a silence where no sound may be<br />
There is this silence<br />
Drumming, beating, bursting my ears<br />
<br />
She rises, rises, higher and higher<br />
Scratches the roof of universe<br />
Then dives, alas, sinks in my veins<br />
Drumming beating, breathing in my brain<br />
<br />
This is the morphic waving endless void<br />
A ghostly orchestra for swarms of insects<br />
Scarabs and locusts and furies play in my chest<br />
Drumming, beating, without rest<br />
<br />
Can you see those devouring fires<br />
Spreading infinity and silence, this silence<br />
Don't you hear the immaculate wings of absence<br />
Drumming, beating in a deafening cadence<br />
<br />
Humming blows, fractured ground, starlight in pieces<br />
Dying haloes all around, melting seas and shrinking spaces<br />
And where you as the world falls apart<br />
Drumming beating, drowning in my heart<br />
<br />
Silence will have taken your place<br />
When I rise towards the surface<br />
Six walls wide and blank<br />
When I reach the riverbank<br />
And now everything is nothingness<br />
And nothingness is where I stand<br />
Just a small twinkling star<br />
Pulsing, carved in my hand<br />
A green iris<br />
Staring, <br />
Gazing, <br />
An eye wide open, a tiny fire<br />
Tears and embers<br />
Rolling along in my fingers<br />
<br />
And in every searing moonbeam<br />
Through aching mercury dreams<br />
In every scary nightblow<br />
I can guess your face through the floe<br />
<br />
But anyway... <br />
The claws of gravity can crush me<br />
And nail me deeply<br />
Down to the earth<br />
I will stay at the gate<br />
Waiting and waiting<br />
To slaughter and trample on<br />
Those unlighted saints<br />
Lying on the floor<br />
Those beasts of prey<br />
Those stealing whores<br />
Those starving supernovas<br />
Those infrablack omegas<br />
Eating love, spitting grief<br />
From above, from beneath<br />
Changing children into silence<br />
This silence<br />
This drilling, pounding presence<br />
Endless<br />
Soundless<br />
Terrifying sentence<br />
Whirling louder and louder<br />
This silence<br />
As a drummer
