Elephant - Sands Of Mortality lyrics
rate meFootsteps in the sands of Tatooine<br />
In dreams of the lemniscate I've wandered<br />
The glow of the moon devoured by the dark clouds of fate<br />
I know the thunder is for me<br />
<br />
Obscured by morbid sorcery on the Plateau of Tarynor<br />
Evoking the third curse of the inexorable storm<br />
Runic incantations upon the oaken wand<br />
Gazing at the soil of the stars<br />
Phantasmal landscapes of magnificent desolation<br />
Feverish hallucinations in the midnight sun<br />
Lost in isolation at the end of the spectrum<br />
The old night willing to conquer<br />
<br />
Across the mountains cold, through a frozen ocean of clouds<br />
In the shadow of the Icewizards of Hoth<br />
Nocturnal portrait, funereal fear<br />
At the zenith of pandimensional summoning<br />
I breathe the elder conjuration<br />
Following the skyward impulse of Enoch<br />
<br />
Above the bleeding distorted land on the edge of revelation<br />
Suffused in the crimson twilight of the last sunset<br />
<br />
A remarkable helix of nebular mist, odd to the guardian's eyes<br />
Before the immortal mural of time, the machine is ever in motion<br />
Riding the visions of the tesseract, ascending the spiral scales<br />
Hurtling toward the binary suns beyond the gleaming vortex<br />
<br />
Upon the gallows of a dying galaxy<br />
Exhausted by gravity's constant crush<br />
Death shall be my greatest command to all<br />
As I escape the astral cage<br />
<br />
In the dawning winds beyond the diminution of light<br />
I arrive with the book in my hand<br />
Forever treasuring the mania of youth<br />
The future is mine to write
