Grasp of the Growing One

from Call of the Burning One by Swan Messiah

lyrics

The age weight upon us now
Two thousand years heavy
All around us the
Sceptres of time cannot
Rule over mountains
All entangles with
Venomous vines beneath
The earth and the valleys
Caverns of torture they
Trap us with sap, they grow
Coiled round our spirit
The suffocating growth

The shadows they conjure the fire
The ancestors draw us the lines
The young'uns they pass us the keystone
The torment of grandeur awaits

The mother she gives us the vessel
The father he buries the sage
The body becomes a deception
Our ignorance heralds the age

The daughters of heavenly lakes
The portals of cavernous sap
The fish of the earth they are eaten
United in flame they ascend

The sacred bondage bleeds
Our sap and it splits all our veins
Choke on security
The image of man is in chains
The daughters of the liars
The portals they frame - ascend

The shadows they conjure the fire
The ancestors draw us the lines
The young'uns they pass us the keystone
The torment of grandeur awaits

The soul of the serpent
It withers in spirals of light
To open what is closed
Became us - restoring our sight
You can't forget about the raven - became us
