Exercises in Futility II歌词

[00:46.535]There is a style in total denial
[00:52.362]A certain elegance of fear
[00:57.089]Hesychasm is so much convenient
[01:01.927]With the desert within ourselves
[01:07.142]Stray dogs lead disciples of Oedipus
[01:13.373]As the shrouds gently cover
[01:17.571]Exquisite paroxysms of ruin
[01:22.753]And well mannered choking on nothingness
[01:26.826]
[01:34.297]Nether
[02:09.573]The cracks in soma, psyche and pneuma
[02:18.094]Are as one way mirrors
[02:22.163]It's one well lit desert
[02:29.529]And the pyres extend beyond the horizon
[02:40.003]And cold flames flicker upon ashes of hope
[02:49.750]
[03:08.581]Through hallways carved in a crystal
[03:18.938]On to the uttermost parts of the pit
[03:28.365]Jostling through cadavers of former selves
[03:40.267]You would swear there's amusement in the eyes of the dead
[03:51.070]Again, nether
[04:29.559]
[04:31.205]A reward for the perseverant:
[04:41.711]Unceasing howling of the heart
[04:52.179]Bound to walk this path
[04:59.722]Nether, again, nether - now and forever
[05:10.298]
[06:11.114]I wish it was classic fire and brimstone
[06:15.705]But clearly there is a very special plan
[06:21.412]Paved with havoc and shattered virtues
[06:28.161]As if there were any other paths
[06:31.398]
[07:11.871]With every dream
[07:14.377]The pyres grow taller
[07:16.844]An enemy of trust
[07:19.082]A misled scholar
[07:21.890]Stray philanthrope
[07:24.553]In vain endeavor
[07:27.045]Walk this path
[07:29.279]Now and forever
[07:31.897]
