A portal opens wide
Frightful sights, through the night
I've been reached up close and I saw the light
The petrifying vastness of space is now omniscient
Metaphysical separation Continuous dissociation
My soul wanders free, contemplative Still my vacant body inert and shrouded
Into the universe I might prosper
Cold as the deep waters of doubt and damnation
Confusing visions impregnating
All areas of consciousness
The profound night sky calls for me
Violated by forces not known to men
A wave of tension propagating
Crashing against the shores of our system
My muted shrieks resonating Within the mirage of an ivory tower
From this sphere of sand and ocean We're dissolving and I must run
Into the universe I might prosper
Cold as the deep waters of time and space
I am drowning
Convulsing under the firmament's eye
Terrestrial I will no longer be
A pantheon of stars Reached by dream and thought
Am I dying or is this life?
An answer that you might not find
A thousand years of sleep Till' matter is finally transcended
The eroded memories of what was once so closely held
What will remain from me? When I'll be gone to enter
The realm of the empty I refuse to be consumed by time
Open the doors of existence
For they might remain unseen
But were never kept
As he runs towards the stars
Vanishing far from where we are
Condemned on Earth to disappear
Is this the beauty of our kind?
A blissful catastrophe
Painted in my dream forever
Till' we all dive in the empty
This portal I will choose for savior

Caught in the nauseous maelstrom
Horrified yet I contemplate
These fields of sempiternal figures
Reflections of my mental state
Hovering in orbital delirium
Inertia is my fate
Flashing before my eyes, theses planets
Upon those entities I subjugate
Open wide your eyes Immersion drift away
Dissociate the inner from the outer
Stars, a projection of arrows Aiming for psychic distortion
Bending the structures of the mind And all it allows us to perceive
A celestial sea of mirrors
Oscillating fluids
Dripping down the scope
Everflowing streams of light
A myriad of shades
The sight of godlike violence
Illuminates the path to my escape
Sink in the ethereal void
Reject logic and gravitation
Embrace your inner flow
Drink from the everlasting soil
Mountains of assumption you'll have to overcome
Sink in the ethereal void
Hide in veils of contemplation from the one who devours
Sink in the ethereal void
Bathe in these glorious cascades of stars
I felt the freezing blaze of a calcinating threat
Infernal star swallowing, without reaching satiety
A dogma which does not apply, to those
Craving for triumph and annihilation
They're taking me by force
Perdition is their name
I despise the one they bow to
Absorbed in the chromosphere
Entering a domain I wish I was welcome to Impedent cenotaph resplending upon thou
(Whispering stars dialogue)
“What are you doing here?
I heard he was one of them
This random betrayer Infecting wanderer
The cause of the bittersweetness of life Human insects
You'll die
You'll perish
Here comes the king”
Opium of the ancients
Here I stand above
Anticosmic architect
The symbol whom they adore
Every glimpse of life that crawls
Worships my transcendental halo
I am the demiurge
The solar sovereign
Casting you down
I am the Sun!

Solar Winds - Climax
10:42
|
|||
|
Dwelling amonst the fragments of the reason that once was mine Surrounded by this ensnaring black matter
O' so translucid
Expulsed from the inner core
My lungs are compressed
Against the cold radius
Of nothingness
Hovering in the vacant light
A moment of absence
The blurry reflection of the petrichor
Enabling me to observe
The city that fell asleep
Suddenly
I felt her pearly breasts embracing my lethargic flesh Her glacial lips whispering to my neck
As I yield to the swelling warmth
Is this the true nature of perdition? Nothingness
(From) this synarchy catastrophe will set you out
And death might come to you, my child
I'll wait, observe It was just a dream
Adrift amidst complexities
You'll be condemned
You'll be condemned
Mind this rise
Embrace this light

Tourmente par cette onde qui resonne dans les cieux Petrifie mon existence et penetre mon ame
Mon sang se glace et ma peine grandit
J'implore le destin en contemplant, cette condition ephemere
Pris dans ce cycle de nevroses Periodiquement imprevisibles et soudaines
A l'image de notre fin, gravee dans l'ether
Dont les caprices n'ont d'egale que ma hantise pour elles
Incertain je m'interroge
Est-ce mourir que de naitre ou la mort est-elle est une renaissance?
Une froideur envahissante
C'est l'espace qui m'attire
Le cosmos qui m'exile
Contraint de quitter ce corps meurtri
Par les horreurs d'une imagination noyee dans l'anxiete
Il suffit d'un regard, d'un pas vers ces abysses
Pour que mon existence, inconsolable, soit transpercee de vices Il suffit d'un ecart, d'un songe vers cet abime
Pour que le sol, l'espace et le temps, se derobent sous mes pieds
Ce flux aux couleurs obsidiennes Funeste projection d'une entropie constante Immerge dans cette experience funebre Dont l'ineluctabilite, lacere mon Ame
Cet ocean, ou mes songes s'engouffrent Cet ocean ou mes larmes ruissellent
La dedale des astres et des ames
La ou tous les hommes s'achevent egaux devant l'effroi
La dedale des astres et des ames
Une souffrance natale insufflee par la violence de l'univers tout entier Mort soudaine? Ou detachement progressif de l'ame?
Ils m'ont emmenes, dans ces ombres dysphoriques Ils m'ont condamnees, j'entends leurs rires cyniques Enfermes dans nos fantasmes labyrinthiques
Ils nous rient au nez, ces astres diaboliques

La Mer Pourpre
18:05
|
|||
|
Porte par les vagues de ma propre finnitude
Je voguerai vers des cieux aux couleurs d'un espoir derobe Les reflets du soleil, dans cette mer pourpre et saillante C'est sur cette plage au gout amer que s'achevera mon existence
J'implore le ciel et le destin Englouti par le neant Puissent ces flots noyer mon corps Puissiez vous ma memoire cherir
Un astre pourfend cet ocean Tel la fleche d'Indra
Les astres se dessinent dans le ciel Mon ame les vaincra
Jusqu'au jour ou la voute celeste se dechirera Se dechirera...
Des mains pour donner Des mains pour reprendre Des mains pour creer Des mains pour tuer
Des mains, l'outil des Dieux Des mains, l'outil des Dieux

Epic, expansive hard rock from Perihelion that pairs post-metal expansiveness with skyscraping vocal melodies.
