The Obsidian Ascent Black mountain reach march of the damned procession of the weak land of ash and stone Dead cold ground dark crippled rocks formed of ancient lava a dead end journey Frightful sheep shepherds grin the dogs follow Onward and onward they drag their broken bodies with shallow breath and bleeding hands towards their given destiny dragged, hunted and betrayed by the whispering voices so sweet Ref.: Beneath a pale sky they find salvation welcome their defeat on the obsidian ascent Beneath a promised land they fall on their knees welcome tranquillity on the obsidian ascent Follow me, praise me be me, they whisper Neglect yourself, hate yourself hurt yourself, they whisper Lead me, bless me show me, they scream Despise us, Reject us punish us, they scream Broken obsidian reach a climb with no end cutting shards of stone they stare at their bleeding hands Ref.: Beneath a pale sky they find salvation welcome their defeat on the obsidian ascent Beneath a promised land they fall on their knees welcome tranquility on the obsidian ascent A grey veil a rising storm clouds of ash and stone swallowing the feeble flock Black rock, feeble flock grey veil, ashen storm petrified, cast into obsidian, oblivion
2.
The Panoptical I My cold bright cell a thousand eyes on my skin In these walls I fade, dissolve Get lost in their condemning glance Ref.: I vanished, expired in all the roles I played divided my essence to embers the voices of judgement echo I can not hear my self anymore Who dares to define the I? I am the guard to measure you I am the prisoner to stand trial I am the architect to create I am the stone to be formed Will I cease to exist once all the eyes go blind? In the towering circle of many eyes I lose my trust in the pillars of truth I am the panopticon, the panopticon is me as the foundation trembles I become many I vanished, expired in all the roles I played divided my essence to embers the voices of judgement echo I can not hear my self anymore who dares to define the I?
