ELEPHANT LYRICS

1. The Voice Of Anguish

I am that which darkness fears
The voice of anguish taunting you
False evidence appearing real
What is not but could be if
I am the echo of your failure
The grandfather of your despite
Standing reserved with arms crossed
Glaring, leering, smug and solemn

I am the phantom waiting for your fall
The possessive lover taking your breath
Agony, tragedy, suffering and pain

I am the grand obscenity
The living mirage of constant doubt
See your reflection in my eyes
Timid, reluctant and insecure

The newborn child is guilty of every crime
Ever committed by man
Shifting ever inward and away
As the final virgin lies slain by the maiden's wrath

Nightmares unite with the torture of waking
As the first jealousy rises
And the jaws expand to devour

Sleeping stars awaken the masquerade
Disguised abhorrence in the boiling lake
Another dies as another is called
Inexorable night and the shadows will feed

Crying for help, unable to speak
Dying unmourned, screaming unheard
At the mouth of hell in the valley of the sun
All hope is drained in the death embrace

Times of crisis, a vision of no future
Formless apprehension of perceived loss
Twisting of speech from a desperate mind
Birthed the legend of the defining choice

2. Face Of Infinite Light

Intuitive dreams, an inner flow
Synergy of visions, the seventh sight
Darkness surrounds the fear that refines
Journeys heighten the plateau
Nothing before knowing, time and the after
Emptiness perceived in hindsight
If this will end in failure
I cannot lose by daring the conflict

Minds engorged, brimming with sickness
Scared of the suffocating chase
Protector, defender, champion condemned
Not beyond but all within understanding

Perversion is surrendering choice
Corruption of purpose
Weakness spurred by the waste of an oath
Extinguish the groveling flesh

Beasts roll in nightmares, bodies found in sunrise
No foes but self to mar the way
I will succeed where the mighty have failed
Because I am not them

Compass of infinite stray desires
Light the clay black as love
Bites precious the eternal realm
Burning the ruler's requiem

Standing restless
Transcending fantasy
Nights of thought beyond all craving

I'm in the sun, hiding and lost
But at the bane of the newest day
Blood of the pure will howl as fire
Quaking outward from the fault

Strange are the moments as chance recedes
Yet I continue against the face
Covered by the frothing dark
My voice is still my own

3. Serpent Of Angelic Evil

No apologies for hunger
No shame of the urge to feed
See the blood of balancing life
Evil known in a living circle
Shadowed dreams of a darkness fair
Hawks and doves engaging the mind
Laughing nymphs and striding goddesses
Sucking on the tongue that devours

Consumed by a cruel artistry
Avenge the stains of the relentless throne

Joyous healing in the revelation of hatred
Grief ecstatic in the clarity of horror
Animalistic groans ripped from the body
Wrenching wild in crazed delight

Helpless fly in a spider's web
Breathing the fiery musk of greed

Tiny victim under control
Asking whether to release
Raising tension to quaking screams
Roaring exaltation

Fierce magnificence swallowing millenia
The true visage of an elegant tyrant

4. Ascending The Hallowed Eclipse

Wait, reflect and take the sands
Appearing, transforming, preparing the plunge
Renewed in phases manifesting spectres
Restored yet contained within a vault
Sights before a flying soul
Remaining silent, only breathing slow
Depths and heights of vindication
Humiliated as exalted

Metrics of mindflow integrate
Transitioning shapes
Decipher the metaphor
Tearing the world afraid in belief

Artful volition of supremacy
Pestilent sings the burning eclipse
Destiny a consequence of choices made
Across the chapter of falling names

Draining sunrays race the realm
The shining man belongs of old

Near the breath, words are gone
Escape the surge of the dying

They shall never leave this pit
Or the putrefied throat of the wreathed animal
Nor shall the hypnotic mouth be shut
But remain wide, anticipating the damned

Solar might and slithering fear
Past the gallows of the hallowed cold

Sailing night clings to crawling skin
Sentient mercury invokes the task
Spirits ascending convulsing
Serpents striking from the coil

Intricate carving
Known beyond the beginning of life
Since before nothing was born
Long after the universe is naught

5. Breeding The Ravers

Error in the creation room
Subterrestrial, chaotic and mad
Aware of every aspect of self
The olden fist of the doctor's path
Harrow the kin and slaughter the flesh
Attendant spirit, being or devil
Hands of minutes destroy the blind
Gaining reason at midnight's tune

Fashion a chimera from genetic disarray
Engineer a race of man, demon, and machine

Tormenting persistent wraith
Procreating a wicked feast
Souls bewitched threaten the unborn
Modern ravers of nobility and skill

A flash of intuition to a rising revelation
Hellish, deranged, roaring and wild
Terminate the centuries, hushing the voice
Understanding their obscure choices

Bleeding suns pour into the veins
Fertile embers fanned by funeral winds
The ultimate never shall die reborn
Words remain as little wars
Jaws diseased have been disfigured
By all the evil they have spoken
Enthroned by thinning screams
Swimming an embrace of ritual flames
Prying mastermind plays insanity
Made inside the creatures seed
Born the victim of the lightning monstrosity
Strike alive in vain delirium
Primal strains of ancient disease
Fall in a whirlwind of glowing pain
Weapons crafted in a maze of fire
He who kills is prouder than the storm

6. Another Imminent Demise

From the abyss of night
Is risen the glow
Silent shells shall open
Ghosts who reigned a thousand hells
Scripts of life, the scrolls of time
Arrive at death's threshold
Stars are the eyes of space
Sands give untold millenia

Cloven darkness unleashed
Fire envisioned by the spine
Dreams and thoughts fall to the ground
Screaming into lands of glass

Desire to know the reasons
Hanging lunacy bleeds
Transparent lifeline ceases
Timeless revenge

I come in the prescence of my dead
While encountering rulers past
Trying but the dust wouldn't see
Passing the rising writs

Heavens engrave a celestial inferno
Over the moon and the high horizon
Slow ending of a hateful sleep
Devastating sins of the lacerating sword

I feel now as I did the day I died
Myriad earths without system
Echoes and songs resting here
Flickering in drowning whispers

Doorways complete unlock transformation
Cold terror preserves the gates

So days last as the wind
Capture awake the only breath
When voice and word upon the air
Only down the soul in slumber

Obscure despair in debris
Mortal lies and scattered flesh
Fury prevails, purity forged
Awakened and seeking

Portals collide
In transcendent flight
Fulfill all that tramples below
In restless dreams of my demise

7. A Force Of Grief And Fury

A force of fury fueled by grief
And the abysmal silence
Harvest of destroyed purpose
Paragon of suffering
Stench of mentals defiles the face
Cinders of the womb inhaled
Haunting talisman manipulates
Binding fields of the thaumaturge

Ancient microcosm, inferior command
Barren hollow of the terrible mountain
Glowing ways of the eternal craft
Reaching the mind that dwells within

Guided by the blood of the slain
Nemesis throne amidst the crimson pyramids

Cleansing fires to purge the slate
Funnelled through her effigy
Daring the magicks
This night my legions walk the sky

Dark clouds swirl above the breaking dawn
Conjure chilly moonscapes and slumbering nightmares
Whisper zephyr winds of an alien sun
Black worlds under the glare of strange eyes

Slitting the throat of the enchanted doe
Wine of wrath clips the wings to the kingdom
Hear me, keeper of mysteries
Conflicted by approaching dimensions

Veiled upon the hill laughs a haunted heart
Eternity of stars in a netherworld of souls
Onyx vision to flowing tonic
A burning gaze that purifies the abyss

8. Fortress In Majestic Trance

[Instrumental]

9. The Defining Choice

Reaching for the light of doomed shades
Betrayed the wind of sacred sacrifice
Leaves are silent as the song of memories
Blissful mist in the weary moments
Lambent decay of newborn demise
Judgment of the graceful warning
Here shall all await the heavenly
Precious arrival outshines sunrise

Lucid thread of jealousy
In nothing all shall stand
Here begotten unknowing
Sightless hope carries the future

Points of starlight
Appear to die
Borne the blessing
Of the healer unveiled

Downward runs the waiting disaster
Shameful death of beauty
Shining spell from the hands of the heir
Paths manipulated before birth

Bountiful choices of misery and wisdom
Choose the answer that conquers the fairest
Planets divided the sun unbroken
Below time bodies gone

Perish in obscurity, the vision is true
Tired and scared yet resolute
Clear are the foes, the dream is near
I found my voice through the storm

Feel the defiance of the mustering drums
Slouching toward the mouth of anguish
We cannot get out, there is no way out

Clash together the jaws, we shall witness again
Home lies ahead not what was left behind
But mountains were sadness
Chasing gods lost in release

Born today is the turning
Run the distance in vain
Cheerful trial of damnation
Mirthless dance of failure
So you've chosen my fate?
I don't care!
When I laugh I can still hear the thunder
And I smile
