ISIS: Wavering Radiant 1 Year Anniversary
Wavering Radiant 1 Year Anniversary.
To celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the release of Wavering Radiant, we've decided to reveal the lyrics to the entire album. It's hard to believe
it's been a year already! Thanks for all the support and Happy Cinco De Mayo!
More news soon!
ISIS
1. "hall of the dead"
the great stone walls
rise above our heads, cold and sad
pale light, a dusty veil
the sun makes its way in
destitute, weak
you're at my side again
faithful guide unfailing, here we stand among the others
the living among the
dead
veins still flowing full
lungs filled with white light
push forward
lifeless bodies swept aside
they are on us
cast a net of armor
over our heads
hide our life
lest it be lifted from us
we must leave this place
of deathly decay
don't look back, press on
02 "ghost key"
it's cold
snowing
blue light
dusk settles
a fire
burns with failing light
against
the growing darkness
bending over
the dying flames
you were with me
then as always
through the
fluttering veil of frozen blue
a hooded figure cuts its path
to cleave the night in two
pull its outer husk from its body
and the rest escapes
and there upon the ground
the remnants of our struggle
this is the ghost key
03 "hand of the host"
it is here
that vice indulged
bleeds the living
of their trust
hand of the host
extended
from his fingers
dangles scented flesh
bodies offered spun
from infant minds
perfect in their
empty conception
to be devoured
by my lustful heart
i am commanded
"do as thou wilt"
through the halls i am lead
following i am lead
"writhe and gnaw each other's flesh"
he lies uncovered
this ancient man
of bristle and bone
hoary and unwashed
his lonely soul
fills the room
our reverie
lays broken on the floor
cast him out into the throngs
into unholy laughter
4. "wavering radiant"
5. "stone to wake a serpent"
we four, bound by blood
standing in the crossroads
on the underside of the world
waiting our turn
here we see
coiled serpent
black and baking
in the sun
stone is flung
serpent wakens
arrow of poison
pierces our hearts
teeth sink into tender flesh
lightning strikes, too fast to see
we seek succor for the stricken
pleas met with spiteful laughs
slow advance, not to stir the poison
its course fast and merciless
merciless, merciless
in vast halls, buried in hurried hordes
no help found here, only dreadful tears
6. "20 minutes/40 years"
tendrils extend
from the cloudy black mass
they slither and slide through the ones and zeroes
prophecy of collapse unfolds
last grain of sand spirals down the hole
chance has graced me with a gift
grasp at gold before the dark descends
sun beats down and panic reigns
in this time of endings
eyes are shut, feet are bare
for this journey i'm unprepared
i walk on
sight renewed
seek new life
i seek new life
walk on
seeking her, the one i wish to see
she wanders the outer lands
from the grasp of wolves i will pluck her
twin arteries flow with the pulse of one mighty heart
7. "threshold of transformation"
i've arrived
city of lucid dreams
before me
a building
looms caked in inky grime
the act unknown
actor in sleep
here i enter, and here i see
the circle and bones made in haste
winds to anoint the faithful
amorphous specter turns
from old to new
rests in faith beside me
we wait for the quiet fire
to be born and there it is
embodied by a boy
his voice small and grey
whispers smoke to the chosen
upon our heads he places crowns
sewn with hiss and higher tones
the boy presses whispers into her
and they bathe in valley's pale rain
