We knew the cost The price we had to pay Felt the loss As the moment slipped away Led to the edge To drink from poisoned wells Heedless of the harm We brought upon ourselves We fall Before abject altars The pulse of racing hearts We return To primal forms unbound Near and yet so far apart Through mirrorlands Paths laid in molten glass Doomed to repeat The present as the past We set our feet Upon this burning path With every step The cycle is recast We fall Before abject altars The pulse of racing hearts We return To primal forms unbound Near and yet so far apart Only loss awaits In this ouroboric state Ossified in grief We call to empty skies in search of peace Desperate for relief To heal the wounds that cut so deep A storming surge A fading ray of light Sanctuary Beyond the edge of sight The endless march Regression to the source With every wave, sorrow Returns in greater force We are questions without answers Viewed through the fog of sleep Recursive loops of self-consumption Along a path that time has worn so deep
