The Forsaken

Vertigo

The Forsaken


I have lived the illusion of wisdom and tasted the joys of love 
I have sailed seas of hedonism and travelled the path of mystic rites 
Ride with me and learn the songs of the nameless Shaman 
An Aenead through the dawn of the golden sun 

chorus: 
A celebration of existence, 
The guiding light, 
Vertigoes of tomorrow, 
Embrace the molten night. 
Drink the sweet splendour 
The wine of youth 
Vertigoes of yesterday 
Lie to the truth 

Saddened by tides of the sanctified pain 
I lick the wounds of my crucified past 
Shed the skin of your forgotten self 
Join me, worship, the verbose deity 

Repeat chorus. 

Rubicons of rage holler inside me 
Shades of grey laughter kiss the tears of my eyes 
Stone faces in unseen places, whisper desert chants 
On the serpent's wing I write songs of desire 

Brazen fires quiescent in silence [x2] 

The wombs of remembrance wither in flames 
Moons of sorrow eclipsed by moments of mirth 
Swallowed in darkness, clouded by the cleansing opiate 
I feel the wonder, the maze of happiness 

Brazen fires quiescent in silence [x2] 

As I fly through the cavalcades of null emotion 
Beneath this dream lies the emptiness of reality 

As I fly through the cavalcades of null emotion 
Beneath this dream lies the emptiness of reality
