Closer To Scaffold

Closer To Scaffold

The descent from the vault
Shows itself to be infinite
Transcendent and complete
Revealed an attribute of divinity

Sidereal zones of waste
Another one garden of silent guilt
Religious supremacy sense
The land of gnosis under the human beliefs
The shining orb of the moon,
The human race and the wild beasts
By earthly limbs and flesh
This fusion mass brings the world to birth

When everything has been tried in vain,
Like the storm of modern duality
Marching in existence
The whole heaven shouts and shakes
The mankind was born of the waters
Now it's time to return in flames
The stars are set beyond death
And heaven looked upwards for the human race.

Nailed in centuries, the fall of crest and crown
For all the fires are dim, our souls are still in bounds
And through all varied smoke and cries, the roaring of the sun,
The noise of little lives and brave, reflects the steps so far

Doom and hope
Denial and fate
Regret and return
Hail! Hail!

In a cosmic reflection, immortals we will be
Against the laws of gravity
We climbed and disappeared

Nailed in centuries, the fall of crest and crown
For all the fires are dim, our souls are still in bounds
And through all varied smoke and cries
The roaring of the sun
The noise of little lives and brave
Reflects the steps so far

"Some are hung splayed out
Exposed to the empty winds
Some are plunged in the rushing floods their stains,
Their crimes scoured off
Or scorched away by fire
Each of us must suffer his own demanding ghost.
Then we are sent to elysium's broad expanse

A few of us even hold these fields
Of joy till the long days,
A cycle of time seen through
Cleanse our hard,
Inveterate stains and leave us clear ethereal sense,
The eternal breath of fire purged and pure

But all the rest, once they have
Turned the wheel of time for a thousand years
God calls them forth to the lethe, great armies of souls,
Their memories blank so that they

May revisit the overarching world once more
And begin to long to return to bodies yet again
