Exercises in Futility II Songtext
von Mgła

There is a style in total denial
A certain elegance of fear
Hesychasm is so much convenient
With the desert within ourselves
Stray dogs lead disciples of Oedipus
As the shrouds gently cover
Exquisite paroxysms of ruin
And well mannered choking on nothingness

Nether

Nether

The cracks in soma
Psyche and pneuma
Are as one-way mirrors
It′s one well-lit desert
And the pyres extend
Beyond the horizon
And cold flames flicker
Upon ashes of hope


Through hallways carved in a crystal
Onto the uttermost parts of the pit
Jostling through cadavers
Of former selves
You would swear there's amusement in the eyes of the dead

Again
Nether

Again
Nether

Nether

A reward for the perseverant

Unceasing howling of the heart

Bound to walk this path
Nether
Again
Nether - now and forever

I wish it was classic fire and brimstone
But clearly, there is a very special plan
Paved with havoc and shattered virtues
As if there were any other paths


With every dream
The pyres grow taller
An enemy of trust
A misled scholar
Stray philanthrope
In vain endeavor
Walk this path
Now and forever
