Imperator - The Rest Is Silence lyrics

rate me

The tide of advancing humanity has changed the world<br />

False wisdom of conspicuous reality has driven me mad<br />

Mythical beings of all sorts and kinds are flying<br />

Memory<br />

Forms of which poetry and legend speak I can't forget<br />

<br />

Whatever the horror was<br />

Whenever the truth appeared<br />

Death far from natural<br />

I found there in my dreams<br />

I hide the word of perversity<br />

Collected by oddity<br />

I neglet the power of human brain<br />

Insanity I obey, unworthy and sane<br />

<br />

In a dark space I felt aware<br />

Of a singular accession of fright<br />

As if someone emanation was engulfing my spirit<br />

Oh! I perveived the source of my alarm<br />

<br />

Thees places being exceeding dark<br />

Twisting perception and blackness too great<br />

I don't want to be anymore<br />

I shall never supply a link<br />

In so hideous a chain<br />

Of paradoxical seriousness<br />

From these my thoughts escape<br />

I conceived my present fear thunder<br />

Of fire and lightning and unreal<br />

Led by my thoughts to the morbid chamber<br />

I found the truth the rest is silence<br />

<br />

My memories are very confused<br />

There is even much doubt as to where they begin<br />

I feel the image of years stretching behind me<br />

My identity, too is bewilderingly cloudy<br />

<br />

I remember how I read the book<br />

I was aware that I only dreamt<br />

I prayed only for awakening<br />

Instead I've found myself<br />

So I walked further in my slumber<br />

Now I fear for what I might find there<br />

I'm alone, there's no god where I am<br />

Is there fear in your heart?<br />

Where I am you are not<br />

Let my servants be few and secret
