lyrics

I embrace your storm through the caverns of your soul
a deep and buried universe
A long road have I wandered, the burden of the ages in my bones
I am coming home
I embrace your storm shed your darkened disguise,
Your faceless gaze
Bear this silent life, cast upon me as I stand before your halls
To walk alone

This circle of light, search of lost traces
beyond is only night, secret dark places
Have I gone too far, lost the path behind me?
Have I gone too far?
Cords and glass, in a thousand rooms
the electric mass, a living tomb

Sentient machines, a bleeding mountain heart
Madness of my dreams, worlds torn apart
beyond these howling winds, these rusted plains
from the formless voids, invisible chains
Sentient machines, a bleeding mountain heart
Madness of my dreams
Is there no return, am I too late?
to make it back, through the shards of a black gate?

I embrace your storm through the caverns of your soul
a deep and buried universe
A long road have I wandered, the burden of the ages in my bones
I am coming home
to this desolate place

Illuminated weaver
Dreams in restless sleep
Cryonic ancient seal
Sentient machines

Mountain of Bahb-Elon, Lord of scars
Madness of my dreams, the darkest star
beyond these howling storms, these rusted plains
from the formless voids, invisible chains
Mountain of Bahb-Elon, Lord of scars
Madness of my dreams
Is there no return, am I too late?
to make it back, through the shards of a black gate?
