The seventh hell inside us impales and divides us And scatters our skin with the seed Of our deeds devoured, on other worlds showered As our demon celestials bleed The seventh heaven's promise, the Gospel of Thomas The Shahadat's secrets are saved As the dead and the sleeping still fear a flesh reaping And gather their gold for the grave In bonds of conscience respiration fails Blind suffocation proceeds By floodwaters swallowed, the proprium of whales Shed these lung spires and breathe Eyes end in flames and the brow settles Sunk cheek to jaw Lips forming shame and the mind's metal Floods one and all Laws of men lay claim to all those without shame Who enlighten themselves with the lies That our souls are bound to the deafening sounds As the megaphones fill up the skies In bonds of conscience respiration fails Blind suffocation proceeds By floodwaters swallowed, the proprium of whales Shed these lung spires and breathe Eyes end in flames and the brow settles Sunk cheek to jaw Lips forming shame and the mind's metal Floods one and all No sacred sound remains unscathed despite the fall No shouting shafts of light are saved No demon's peace prescribed for pain to one and all No foul façade left saving face
Nine Eyes (Lamb) Nine eyes on the wild one In the heliosphere of the holy sun A skeleton of stone in reverence kneels Through translucent skin of steel An offering of what was once our lives held high Bound to these spheres by inherent sound Of hunger, of heart and cerebral crown We're languid in the chains of daily strife That choke and chafe internal life The undying in us stirs with each link these sounds melt down Assail any altar aligned with any faltered Design of material gain And we shall shed these shackles of shame For the robes of what naked remains Wax wings for a venture in vain, Or the evolution of the alchemists aim? The element of man reduced to flesh A vessel of our consciousness Reborn within a cage that won't decay or die Assail any altar aligned with any faltered Design of material gain And we shall shed these shackles of shame For the robes of what naked remains
