lyrics

Like worms in a forest fire
flee the heatwaves
digging deeper below

intricated in the roots of bitterness
we are lost
in the bardo of dreams.

While the ghosts of long since sunken dead
gnaw the flesh off the spine of vanity

The thin line
distinguishing life from death
image from person
is hidden from the eye
instant karma, lemurian nightmares
steady reflections
of faces on the blood in the grail

The gems that you reach for are unreal as phantoms
floating in dreams and luminous illusions
presumptuousness led us to far away places
in sackcloth and ash we return.

Reveal me utopia
a world in a nutshell
Where promise means failure
and exactness is fake.

Be confident liars
lose with euphoria
Let grief be your guide in times of disgrace
Through this vale of tears
this dismal place where our own stunning visions
Will be the key to the realms
within ourselves
a feverish sweven
in which the young light
marries the dawn

In the eye of voidness
life is but a dream
ephemeral poem
shadow and hollow foam
Set ablaze your wisdom
Let the pyres burn
incinerate your visions
Forget, undo and unlearn

So our praise
shall be with the dead
Not with the ones who still suffer from living
And the ones
who never have been
Should be blessed
for they haven’t faced evil

forever we‘re yearning for former days
times of grace
sun and glory
but deep in the marrow we know
that nothing
will ever come.
