Mirror-gaze to decide
So on, so forth
Ruminate on all your kind
Why do such wrong?
Four years left to wander on
The road to the end
A place beyond the trees
(Disorder)
Where lies the killer of kind
(Disorder)
And if that dog does bark
(Disorder)
I’ll be on my way
Ichor river, ebb and flow
Carry me forth
Far away a wall of stone
Clashing mountains
Desert stretching ever on
Wind cuts like knives
Arrows fired by unseen hands
(Destroy us)
A thousand beasts, eating hearts
(Destroy us)
Deeper down the water, black
(Destroy us)
So much lies ahead
(Destroy us)
Chapter 2:
Mictlan is the second house
The home of the dead
So long is the journey
From the heart unto the head
World-tree wages distant wars
To keep leaf over head
Every nomad, sure of foot
Travels on the passage of the dead
Chapter 3:
If the hand refuses to scratch itch
Then sever the hand, sever the hand, sever the hand
Why exist to be refused the life that I have earned
And how it consumes me?
God forbid this mortal torture
Is all there is to being
All the danger, now to scarper
Deeper down the trees
And if the Gods refuse to bend their knees
Sever their heads, sever their heads, sever their heads
Lies beneath a snake ensheathed, eating it’s own tail
Above, a whole world rattled with detail
All the forces on my spirit pushing me around
Where to wander? What to ponder?
Are my feet still on the ground?
God forbid this mortal torture
Is all there is to being
All the danger, now to scarper
Deeper down the trees
And as we go, an ebon flow, written in the bark
In the dark
In the dark
