lyrics

Before us they rise,
These storms converge
To dance on the wire
And break on the bulwark
Until only emptiness remains

Containment sighs as she lifts her eyes
Following the echoes of our joyous strains
Only emptiness remains

As cataract highs darken the skies
This deluge subsides
For only emptiness

The storm corrodes, and with it our souls
The fates align, to cloud our eyes
And leave us with empty skies
Tell me now, and pull from the marrow
Here in empty silence, what is this life worth now?

You and yours for me and mine? No
The fates have conspired to cut your tongue short
Calling now that mark of iron in your eyes
Don't look down, stare into me

Cast down, to the black
Clinging to what won't be back
Prostrate at the foot of the altar
Head bowed, knuckles cracked
White eyes, spitting black
Cast down the steps to the blackened emptiness
Where fettered souls lay broken

Is all that I've tried a quixotic lie?
Tilting with Nihil to glance off the bulwark
Containment, commit to pain
And step into the storm's eye
