Agathodaimon - Back into the Shadows lyrics
[Agathodaimon - Back into the Shadows lyrics]
In the night of my final
Sacrifice I sent my soul
Into the vast and fathomless unknown
To find a word
A word, that indicates the beyond
It came back later and spoke:
"I am myself heaven and hell!"
Sculptured in time as another chapter of life
Sharp are the thorns of the roses
Which lay dank upon me
For too long I knew that I had to arrive
Yet destination isn't as linear as humanity
Touch the feeling - touch the soul
Touch the morning dew and see the glamour
In my stark eyes reflecting
The icon of a setting in a serene summer
So many flowers give away
To mystery and loneliness
Their subtle perfume and their indifference
So much jewelry's forgotten in the soil
In darkness
But who dares to tread the silent meadows
That lie beyond the mirror of one's self?
Who dares to reach the
Phantoms of one's heart?
To behold the murderer of life and art?
And what is death? What gives birth?
What sells good or has no worth
When everything you feel is cold?
Why am I? Who's this hand?
Whose decisions I can't comprehend
But isn't history foretold?
There's a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken of it's flood
Leads on to fortune
But all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and miseries
But, if you desire to see the light
As it truly is, clear and bright
You must move - back into the shadows
Sacrifice I sent my soul
Into the vast and fathomless unknown
To find a word
A word, that indicates the beyond
It came back later and spoke:
"I am myself heaven and hell!"
Sculptured in time as another chapter of life
Sharp are the thorns of the roses
Which lay dank upon me
For too long I knew that I had to arrive
Yet destination isn't as linear as humanity
Touch the feeling - touch the soul
Touch the morning dew and see the glamour
In my stark eyes reflecting
The icon of a setting in a serene summer
So many flowers give away
To mystery and loneliness
Their subtle perfume and their indifference
So much jewelry's forgotten in the soil
In darkness
But who dares to tread the silent meadows
That lie beyond the mirror of one's self?
Who dares to reach the
Phantoms of one's heart?
To behold the murderer of life and art?
And what is death? What gives birth?
What sells good or has no worth
When everything you feel is cold?
Why am I? Who's this hand?
Whose decisions I can't comprehend
But isn't history foretold?
There's a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken of it's flood
Leads on to fortune
But all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and miseries
But, if you desire to see the light
As it truly is, clear and bright
You must move - back into the shadows
