Ne Obliviscaris - Devour Me, Colossus​: Blackholes (Part I) lyrics

Citadel, of hope and white fire
Hearken, a choir for kings, transcendence
Crowned in teeth and severed wings
Is this the end of, the end of the flesh?

My prison and my salvation

A call from the void, pale tentacles
Enthroned, alone, dying
Down with my draped leeches, oh lover
Melancholia

You fill my lungs, am I undone?
Where I swallow the light
Drown me in your arms, so deep
Drown me in your arms (Abyssal wyrmwell)
Fathomless (Drown me in your arms)

Anatomy of space and time
Gathered in veiled depths, descendant
Are these god's tears in
This pitch black tomb
Or the pain of my memories?

Of all suffering, awake architects
The mother, the father, the eye
Trumpets bellow, the ripples transfigure
Wretched am I

White eyes and blue lips lover devour me
Drown me in your arms (Abyssal wyrmwell)
Fathomless (Drown me in your arms)
Drown me in your arms (Abyssal wyrmwell)
Fathomless

A burning gauntlet held to her breast
In her arms the phoenix
Lay blackened in mourning
A purging of ashes down her hourglass figure
Inscribed on my heart "Devour me, Colossus"

Scent of the earth touch of the light
Here, where colours collide
This blackhole ignites my world in bloom

Flesh to flowers, blood to rivers
My breath to the wind
The stars steal my eyes and
The sun sears my mind

This blackhole ignites my world in bloom
Here I stand, Citadel, here I stand

Here, where colours collide
This blackhole ignites my world in bloom

Scent of the earth touch of the light
Here, where colours collide
This blackhole ignites

My world in bloom my world in bloom
In bloom
