Elephant - Shrouded Sleep lyrics

rate me

In shrouded sleep I lie<br />

As my astral body is cast through time<br />

Flying through infinity on scaly wings<br />

Transcending nightmares and the waking world<br />

The necromancer buried alive struggles to break free<br />

From the black-masked dementors of inferno<br />

A cyclonic cone of fear roars beneath the ground<br />

It's very presence paralyzes the living<br />

He'll overcome the sting of death, his tormentors will see<br />

Armies of a thousand seraphim, invulnerable to be<br />

No more shall mankind hide from evil's wrath and hateful lies<br />

Our immortality prevails by the failing nephil cries<br />

<br />

I enter other realms of magic<br />

Witches incant behind clouds of colored smoke<br />

The passion - a rapture of wicked convulsion<br />

Spellbound to the dream forevermore<br />

Haunting entreaties to sail through the heavens<br />

Where galaxies glow like enlightened palaces<br />

Fables and mythos alive in the twilight<br />

Channeling the legends of a nameless past<br />

I sit within a cube of glass, a thrall enchants my eyes<br />

Warlocks surround the crystal tearing away the skies<br />

Invoking primal chaos, former ages pass<br />

Stalks of flame engulf the earth in burning gas<br />

<br />

Monuments rise proud as mountains<br />

Symbols of conquest achieving eternity<br />

To dust and ash reduced as a floating musty sea<br />

A mausoleum of ancient memories<br />

<br />

Great kings have come and gone by the sun and moon<br />

For all their power their bodies now drift like desert sands<br />

A wish - a soul trapped in an endless forest<br />

A timeless maze adrift in emptiness<br />

Some dreams die and some live on though none can ever tell<br />

Of how their fates were scattered in the cosmic wishing well<br />

Another time into the night on silver spheres we glide<br />

Another life will come to be and join the churning tide
