Elephant - Toward The Silver Seas Of Tormenthastrum lyrics

rate me

Out of the proud sun toward the shores of another world<br />

Cormorant musings, silent visions ravening<br />

Hear the calling rhythm from wells of consciousness<br />

On ivory mares we voyage through arcades of legendary<br />

Architect of spheres and obelisks, intellect and madness<br />

The axis of creation and it's glorious similitude<br />

Ocean caves at the feet of cyclopean might<br />

You cannot find the universe? You are within it's core! <br />

<br />

The moon wears a bleak face, laughs at peerless beauty<br />

An inscrutable and captivating smile<br />

Weaving infinite shadows about itself<br />

A wonder cloaked in a mystery<br />

<br />

Navigate the blazing haze of the deep heavens<br />

Hollow cliffs seared by time closer now than eye has seen<br />

Strength in the nucleus of the perfect void<br />

Shatter every illusion at the leyline of truth<br />

<br />

Ancient creatures surfacing from every silver sea<br />

Surrendering of memories to the infinitesimal flame<br />

The eternal child passing through the mind like a whim<br />

Winged giants dancing at planetary speeds<br />

<br />

Promethean ideals, a symptom of being<br />

The myth of microcosm is just a fool's wisdom<br />

The cryptic spores of music are to stay forever<br />

The solitary chemistry of the plasmic waters<br />

Renewed from age to age, consolation of sorrows<br />

Breeding regularity from dissociated knowledge<br />

Arcana uphold me as the night wakes<br />

If life is the answer, the question must be<br />

<br />

Remember me when all bid farewell and leave you alone<br />

Remember me as new emotions sprout into new thoughts<br />

Remember me astonished as the fierce charge is made<br />

Remember me in songs of defiance as the wild rumpus starts<br />

Remember me when fires burst asunder over birthing skies<br />

Remember me when autumn winds move upon the ageing fields<br />

Remember me when miracles are lost beyond all agony<br />

Remember me as my raft proceeds into the darkness<br />

<br />

A terrace of sinking islands<br />

Sloping downward to the black oak<br />

In a caldera of smoldering waste<br />

Where the latent doom now stirsa
