Elephant - Sands Of Mortality lyrics

rate me

Footsteps 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
