lyrics

Yawning Lake

*verse 1*
Blackening light it comes
Piercing gaze
Incandescent destroyer
Soul ablaze

Sickening trail it leaves
In its wake
Temples fall asunder 
To primordial lakes

*bridge 1*
Numinous vessels conquer 
Our pointless graven plight
The ashen ones they birth
New spires from the night

*chorus*
Yawning lake becomes, becomes, becomes
Yawning lake becomes fire (x2)

*spoken*
The old ones recite their spells
Against the devouring sun
Commandeth unto thee fire
The war doth hast begun

The holy men repenteth
Divine but two of three
Forgetting all the yawning ones
They left 'neath burning trees




*add*
Yawning pestilence upon my somnolence
Awaken to sheets of fire
The stairwell folds upon itself
Escape eludes desire

*chorus*
Yawning lake becomes, becomes, becomes
Yawning lake becomes fire (x2)

The horrid scintillation
Of rags and sin and hair
Primal desperation
Escape the ashen lair

The brazen fish they sing the tune
Of duelling halves of one
They watch tempest roar above
Whilst safe in shard filled lakes
