ALIGHIERI LYRICS

1. In The Company Of The Blind

Tonight
as the stars shine
To frown upon me
I have been left to be condemned
At
passions hand

Intoxicated down to the last shred
Of self control
I have
seen your face through a
A poisoned mask of debauchery

Have I lost my
vision?

I’ve sold myself to this vile obsession
In succumbing to these
inner demons

How tragic, yet so beautiful it is
With a mind and body
harmonized
Achieving through one maniacal movement
The grace of a god
But
no sooner than the plight of man
The warning lights have begun to bear the
flame

And with a snake of June writhing
Through my veins
There is nothing
left for me to love

For love it dies around
The serpents bite
When my
mind is forged to this violent motion
All actions are wrapped so tightly
Into
a devil’s angst that my iron will is transparent

There is nothing left to
respect
I am past the point of regret
(For this passion has blinded
me)
There is nothing left to respect
I am past the point of regret
(For
blind passion has guided me)

2. The Melancholy Life Of An Idea

3. Atlas Mourned

Beyond the wreckage//where a century of hope is found//one man is left underneath//the weight of a fallen empire//to rot with the seeds of lust//could the sun rise and shed some light?//the sun won’t rise (“oh, shed some light!”)//to mend those wounds formed by the darkness//of a nations loathsome hands that had//held him down under a city of sin//when the foundation crumbled and the light caved in//even the greatest skyline did collapse//in the presence of a dream//that dream called hope//yet somewhere beyond the wreckage//there once died a man//amongst the remnants of his//failures//the horror rebuilds over these salvaged lands//and it industrialized fear//the horror rebuilds over to start again//to start again//the nation that portrayed hope//as a perishable resource//is lost within itself.

4. A Breath For The Exhausted
