Chrysopoeia (The Archaeology of Dawn) Songtext
von Horrendous

Immerse me in
Jubilant flames
With iridescent tongue
Lick away the skin
Don′t dare be kind
Paralyze me in paraffin
And spark the match

Teach me to tear chitin back
To flirt with fear
To tunnel through
From a new morning womb
Splay out anew

Splay out anew
Coarse and naked as the truth
Each digit like a compass pole
Glowing out starlike in the white-hot heat
Chrysopoeia


I will coax you out
Like vermin hiding
Every crawlspace in your heart
You'll flow out, blinding

An opalescent river
Molten being of vigour
Hurtling towards oblivion
I passed straight through the eye
And screamed
May we all be

Hurtling through the eye
May we all be
Hurtling through the eye

When I reach out for you
When I stretch my arms
Beg your guide
You should know
I speak not to you
There is no you
You never were
I speak to me, I command me


I see you clear
I see
I see you clear
I see you clear

I see you clear as the dawn
There′s no more hiding now
I feel the ache that gnaws at your heel
Did you think this was any less than fate?

Feel your spring
Boiling up from the black
Like the eyes of a bride beneath her veil

Ecstatic and resolute
Abduct the absolute
Dismember the deceiver
Receive and rise
Bury your mask and burn
Rise!
Bury your mask and burn
