The Pendulum
Temporal Enigma: Unraveling the Mystique of Protean Shield's 'The Pendulum'
Lyrics
There is a time, to make time
There is a specific moment to create opportunities or fulfill desires.
For broken wishes
Opportunities arising from shattered dreams or unfulfilled wishes.
There is a day, between the days
There is a distinct time interval between significant events.
That never comes
A day that is anticipated but never arrives.
A severed tongue
A silenced or restrained voice.
It spins the tale of crimson kisses
Narrates a story of passionate or intense experiences.
But even spoken, on curse is molten
Even when spoken, a curse remains potent and unspoken.
And stays untold
Some stories remain untold or undisclosed.
Prolonged the longing, a promised torture
Lengthening the desire, a promised painful experience.
To gear on rapture the claw of sin
To intensify pleasure, the grip of sinful actions.
Redemption lingers a jaded vulture
Hope for redemption persists like a weary vulture.
The moment's capture is out of reach
The capture of a fleeting moment remains elusive.
The pendulum, it does not swing
The pendulum remains stationary, not oscillating.
Stands askew with eyes that gleam
It stands crooked, with discerning and shining eyes.
And on it stares at mirrors within
The pendulum observes reflections within itself.
The chronic time labyrinth
It represents a continuous and intricate time maze.
Prolonged the wording, a promised sentence
Prolonging the expression, a committed sentence or fate.
That keeps imprisoned what dwells within
That which confines what resides internally.
Eternal fingers to cage the essence
Eternal forces restricting the core essence.
Of what once was and what will be
The essence of what once existed and what will come to be.
The pendulum, it does not blink
The pendulum remains motionless, unblinking.
Speaks the truth, its lips are sealed
Reveals the truth, but its lips are sealed or silenced.
And on it stares at mirrors within
The pendulum reflects inwardly, mirroring experiences.
The chronic time labyrinth
It symbolizes a perpetual and complex time structure.
Mounting the power, idle it seems
Accumulating power, it appears inactive while consuming everything.
As it consumes all there is
It devours or takes in all that exists.
