Dead I wander this earth Like a tree with dysfunctional roots The soul starves, the mind suffers Agony for pleasure, illusions must remove Visions of my journeys in darkness Have led me to this ancient gateway Corpses sleeping in the ground Ravens the keepers of their dreams The apparitions in darkness Continue their seductive dance They remind me of time that once passed As to the skies I shed a glance Father Did you abandon me for a reason Did you count for your actions Had your thought wandered ahead Mysterious are your dark ways Untrodden the paths of astral delights But the soul cries in agony It mourns the loss of spectral kin Mother Can you hear the cry of your children Do you see the tears in their pale eyes Tears from the wounds of the earth Rejoined shall we be again As for secular glory I do not seek Through eternal power in sin For too strong are these deeds And indeed I strive To become not only His image But also the spirit, force and the flame Impossible to be put out I leap into the damp pit Once again to enter the astral sleep Ouroboros bites once again My eyes see through the dirt Ouroboros bites once again My eyes see through the dirt
