Lyrics
Impossible tortured shapes
Shapes that are impossible and tormented, unsettling in their dramatic energy
In uncanny theatric vigour
In a strange and intense display, they haunt the forest turned to stone
Haunt the petrified forest
The petrified forest where the speaker navigates a path
Through which I trace the path
Leading to the grounds covered in asphalt
To the bitumen grounds
Where the ancestral line of the speaker remains
Where my bloodline linger
Descending down steps made of marble
Descend the marble steps
Shining strangely in an eerie light
Scintillating in the eerie light
Under the peculiar glow of a changeable moon
Of a mercurial moon
Suspended in an eternal journey through space
Suspended in ageless journey
Across endless cosmic oceans
Across infinite sidereal seas
Beyond confines of constellations
Outside the boundaries of star patterns
In wraithform forever to abide
Existing forever as ghostly forms
Transcend the ebony gates
Transcending the gates of dark hue
Guarded by the outcasts of fortune
Protected by those rejected by fate
To colossal limestone vaults
Leading to immense vaults made of limestone
Where cognate roots tarnish
Where similar origins decay
Insonorous contemplation
In silent contemplation without sound
And August replete antiquity
And an abundant ancientness
Beyond confines of constellations
Outside the boundaries of star patterns
In wraithform forever to abide
Existing forever as ghostly forms
Merge with archaic intelligence
Merging with ancient wisdom
Devoid of mortal embodiment
Without mortal form
Swept by empyrian tides
Carried by celestial forces
Into the maelstroem of oblivion
Into the whirlpool of forgotten oblivion
