Lyrics
Turbid fabrics under dirt unfurling to a pith of black
Turbulent materials beneath the surface unfold into a core of darkness.
Perforating mantle, upward waft ensuing ash
Piercing layer, rising drift, resulting in the emergence of ash.
Portentous penumbra
A foreboding shadow or darkness.
Dereliction to conform
Abandonment of societal norms and expectations.
The kindling of all that was, immersed in brine
The ignition of everything that once existed, submerged in a saline solution.
In the aperture of tears, mounts a lurid knowing
In the opening created by tears, a vivid awareness rises.
Of a lilt, so everpresent
A persistent melody, always present.
Of a heaven, so unbeknownst
A celestial realm, unknown and unfamiliar.
A sky of nebulae, slivered and molten
A sky filled with nebulae, fragmented and molten.
A gleaming ebb of all effervescent joy
A shining decline of all effervescent joy.
A mare's tail, billowing soot
The tail of a horse, emitting clouds of soot.
Mankind cries its final yawn
Humanity expresses its final sigh.
Misery upon a bastard earth
Suffering upon a forsaken earth.
To be pious is to perish
To be devoted is to meet one's demise.
To untether is to persist
To detach is to endure.
Widening fissure swallows the preponderance
A widening gap consumes the majority.
Radiant burst bestows acrid enlightenment
An intense burst imparts a bitter understanding.
Soul wind
The essence of the soul, like a wind.
Interstice wanes
A diminishing gap or space.
