EPHEL DUATH LYRICS

1. Feathers Under My Skin

Rootless I wonder against my balance point
Silence unwraps the weight of being
And there I lie
Untouched by emotions of sort

I fight back my own human smell
Inhaling rain and dirt
I find shelter under beds of leaves
I fail to hide my claws again

Spitting on what I'm called to be
I scratch my skin deep down looking for feathers

What I am is what I'm not

Acceptance is that road
I walk away from
I lead with pride my own disasters
Denying I learn

I'll look at birds' eyes to get the answers I need
Light pulses through my nails
I draw my new self with it

A spinning top in constant motion
While my face
Like a watchtower remains still
My sight keeps aiming at the horizon
As far as it can get

Unfit to find any rest
I wish to transfigure in rocks or sediment
Motionless desires obstruct my run
I can't find a way to hide from these walls
Urban decay is black oil dripping on my wings

I cry diamonds of salt
I feed myself with them
Every drop cuts my throat deep to the spine
Till my voice shrinks to a bloody wisper

Lost among the lost
I keep moving
While my feet can't find any grip on the ground
I refuse the colours I see
I'll feed crows with my eyeballs
And keep just darkness for me
I keep just darkness for me

What I am is what I am not
What I am not is what I'm cursed to be.

2. Tracing The Path Of Blood

3. When Mind Escapes Flesh

4. Within This Soil

5. Those Gates To Nothing

6. Through Flames I Shield

7. Hemmed By Light

8. Shaped By Darkness

The crystal skull I wear protects that door right behind my eyes
A passage to a better self I can walk through
Carrying all the tears I can fill my hands with
I crawl my way to that deep silence I fill with thoughts

I crawl my way to that deep silence I fill with thoughts

In there hundreds of brick towers hold a tender sky together
A gold path rolls within electric bundles of feelings buzz around
Amniotic fields lie on raw flesh hills
Clouds of minor notes rumble

There's a liquid spot in every mirror
There's a point of distortion in every imaage
There's a piercing truth in each lie

Here I shut down my double self
And I let my real voice resonate low deep, low deep, low deep,
In a state of altered awareness
And I let my real voice resonate low deep, low deep, low deep,

My shelter is a shutdown theatre made of bones
I sit on the border of a black stage
Spiderwebs caress my breath
Dust takes the shape of a ghostly crowd

Entertained while I play my guts
Like cello strings

A whirl of bones generates from the ceiling above
In twisting symbiosis with my mute dying chant

The crystal skull I wear protects that door right behind my eyes
A passage to a better self I can walk through
Carrying all the tears I can fill my hands with

The more I dismember the bigger the pearl cage gets
But my aura overcomes it spreading wide like angel's wings
An ovation celebrates my lethal performance
While exhaling what is left of me
I smile at the crowd and collapsing buildings
Protected by my same death march
I keep the music going
And when life will call back
I'll promise to escape it tomorrow again.
And when life will call back
I'll promise to escape it tomorrow again.
