Lay Down the Sun Lyrics


Through the

Boundless static ocean

She carves an infinite descent

Only the eyes to guide

Painting with the mind

Moving into nothing

Feels like standing,

And with no canvas to cling

The ocean swallows the colours

Praying to the event horizon

Praying for matter

Her shrieks split the ocean

A masked figure falls

On wings of material

Calling from his hands,

structures appear

Earth upon which to stand

Constrained now to the ground,

But able to move.

"Now, Walk."

Years fall by, like rain

Walking and walking and walking

and walking and walking

The legs wither

Skin drapes from the bones

Painting lines and lines over featureless land

A new horizon is summoned

The figure peels away his mask,

Strings of skin fall

And pool on the ground

"Wander no more, and paint upon these walls."

And his flesh walked through the air,

climbing higher around her

Spaces of movement slowly collapsing

Into a single point dimension

Painting circles and circles,

She reaches up and claws at the skin

Chanted:

From the lowest chasm of the mind,

the final horizon is summoned

Screamed:

A new figure descends

Head adorned by the sun

Chanted:

What was once in abysal astral caves

And now rests in the sky

And will bring the sun to her

Speak your wish:

Screamed:

"I want to die!"

Lay down the sun
