A Decade Of Black

from Child Of Sorcery by Swan Messiah

/

lyrics

Horned rats float overhead in my,
Dream life. Scripture of fear it rolls,
Black dice. Numbers of death become...

A decade of black
Eternal miasma
The shards of my ego unfold

Worn as expresison
A season for years
Life stunted in nigredo

An armour of shadow
Occult and yet seen
I offer my shards to the clouds

Like moths to the slaughter
The students of lead
Forever entrenched in its shroud

Marsupial demons
Fly by their thousands
To feast on my dreams in the west

The cordyceps' reasons
To telegraph visions
Of downfallen kings in distress

Distress
Lay down to rest

A blistering cold
Inertia evolved
A harrowing light in the east

The wheel it turns back
Before that of black
A luminous prophesied feast

I drink of its marrow
Becoming its host
Sethurian, light-seeking fiend

Fungified tentacles
Burrow still deeper
Their path is reflected in dreams

Mycelial heathens
Transmogrify tissue
To harvest my soul with their spell

They signal ascention
And raise me on high
Light beckons, tolling its bell
