Rise And Forget - Faith And The Muse

I woke up tired, I woke up down on my knees tonight

My eyes were wet and I felt so dead inside

A grieving fragment of myself, distorted memory

Choking tears as I slam the door again

I swallow rage, I taste its wisdom

Nomadic fears force sanctuary

I drink in truth, I spit out meaning

Ever possessed by the collective psyche

On dread subconsciousness we spin and turn

Inherent images strap us in position

Autarchic instinct commands the assigned performance

The abduction scene, the sacred horn dance

I am enthroned, I am imprisoned

The mirror speaks to my third face

Regeneration, eternal mindless

The questions wax, the answers wane

Suffer;

celebrate

I sing my praises

I curse my name

Suffer;

celebrate

The spirit comes to life

Ancestors reanimate

Seduction leading straight from logic to nightmare

Virility misdirects the hunter’s primal need

Extractions from a butcher’s masterpiece

So split my skin and make me bleed

I woke up tired, I woke up buried by dreams tonight

Compelled to kneel before another faceless beast

An ancient splinter of myself — these are not my memories

Mutated visions, theaccentric reasoning

Suffer;

celebrate

I sing my praises

I curse my name

Suffer;

celebrate

The spirit comes to life

Ancestors reanimate
