RISHLOO - Eidolon Alpha lyrics

Oh child, deceive me
Enter the same, the same as I

Moments pass, desperate contortions unfold
Seeking placid sanity, a moment of calm
Cancerous anxiety and thieving doubt rain
Sheltering indifference to dignify rage

Begging for a line drawn in the sand
To separate the prophets from the men
Bittersweet the wicked
So the guise of harmony
Can breathe again delighted
Hear me, son, the river's dry again
Foretell the fate and lead us to the edge
Let the prideful sinners bear the
Gold and buy acceptance

Breathe again to waste away inside here
The years in turn
Your haunting words have never left my ears
My mind, oh, reckoning
Pride is the mirror through
Which we must break

Wretched, disfigured, confused
And distracted
Here down in this cellar, it's cold, dark
And manic
Clinging indifferent, privilege demands
You excuse your excuses, excuse your excuses
And blame, blame, you blame

Fearful deceiver, dim motives erratic
This dream too ambitious
This vision too drastic
Choke down rhetorical scraps from the attic
Forever to stand there and still
Just refuse to change just change

Set the nightmare alight and
Dance 'til these flames illuminate
The cause for the lie
Redemption is not beyond our time
