Tribulation The Death & Rebirth Of... (ep) 1. Holy Libations (Demo Version) Familiarity trickles down through the narrow corridors of faith In the pathways of Jerusalem I breathe Nature's grace, radiantly glowing cold, she pours the wine onto my flesh I bathe in the stream, I wash away the ash Throughout the vastness of time - Alone Throughout the vastness I climb - Alone Twice born - blood is spilled from the cups of ghosts Twice born - close the eyes to recieve the host Precedence is given to the dreamer Precedence is given to the brave I catacombs I dance the dance of Death, I run away from fear In illo tempore, was that so, where do we go from here?`` We are naked in the darkness, we are one Yet there is solitary in the vast expanse of mind, the threshold to eternity We all find ourselves wandering through the pastures of Arcadian splendor Are we going to the time before time? Remember, remember... Throughout the vastness of time - Alone Throughout the vastness I climb - Alone Ever closing in on the shadows of the strange attractor A return to a paradise that we have lost 2. Laudanum Dreams Time drags me down to its blackest waters Stained glass visions through laudanum dreams In search of my source I am ready to die and be reborn All symbols are subliminal but they keep the gaping truth Restless in flesh Hungry in soul To see the entire whole I must take what there is And create what is missing In its many parts Falling down into the void of Denderah I seek a state the one with many faces It can't be seen or touched But lies within the now What we see and what we know is never settled All belief and its delusions Revelation of life written in flesh Mother of all mantras, Profound vagina of the Earth! Restless in flesh Hungry in soul Expansion of mind Is my goal The self echoes through the hollows Through the Darkness in me The imago breaks the chrysalis The nocturnal creature flickers its grandiose wings
