lyrics

As the fog deserts this deflated sphere
The more revealed the less he perceives
This synaptic blindness, this cerebral sleight of hand
Is an infinite perversion of the essence of the self

Within the shadows he waits
Into the moonlight he stares

The lightest stones are slaves to the river
On a passive journey towards a blanket sea
Delivered unto uniformity
The art of struggle is a catalyst, yet to what end?

For power in the hand?
For pleasure of the flesh?
Or merely to survive ourselves?
The answers must reside on jagged peaks, in black ravines

And so he shall return
To his boulder, ever frozen in eternity
If just to smash and reconstruct himself
The philosopher becomes the wanderer

Out of the shadows he crawls
Into the moonlight he flies

To where the land divides the sky
To where delusion dies
Beyond the footprints of days and years
He recedes

He may not see beyond the mountain in this lifetime
Yet even aeons are made from passing days

With every stumble he fells a layer of eternity
Amongst the debris of failures past, he decrees…

To let the land compel the sky
To let delusion die
To let the footprints of days and years
Recur forevermore

To lift the ceiling from the sky
To peer through space and time
One must tear down the walls that hold it out of reach

So we may fly close to the ground
