Shylmagoghnar - Follow The River lyrics
[Shylmagoghnar - Follow The River lyrics]
As the day becomes the night
Torrents of water sing paeans
Of unnumbered lives
Shattering the sophistry and drowning out
The fading sense of I
Underneath a swirling storm of
Vortices and passing microcosms
Crushing currents grind the path within which
Flow the ravages of time
Fractured though this world may feel
All becomes one when observed from
The cracks in the seams
How is it that this place feels so familiar?
Contradiction never felt so sublime
Welcoming hearth to what should be a stranger
Why do I feel the scrutiny
Of billions of eyes?
Where the waves meet with interference
In their wake a pulse is formed
On the crests I see the grimaces
Of a million lives - untold
Nothing left now, only dreams dwell
And the moon murmurs layers of mesmer
In the distance the rivers
Converge on one point
Where innumerous streams into
Starlight conjoin
Far beyond ancient silence calls
And the undertow whispers my name
At the dawn demesnes break faces
Silvery their brims align
Where the azure ever chases
Crimson hues yet undefiled
I am with sprites which mimic my memories
Tenderly dancing on the cusp of morn
Silent their footfall, candour embracing
Harken familiar inflections of the siren song
Of a vastness which silences all
And every note shakes my cognition
Its verses forever uncoil and go on
Each stanza formed and then unwritten
All that remains is to follow the river
Wander the path
Overcome in times and times before
I long back to flow with it's waters so cold
Aria which came forth from a dream
Echoes in this labyrinth surreal
When stretched in time
A single voice may seem
Like the myriad of ghost notes heard
Within the whir of a river
Torrents of water sing paeans
Of unnumbered lives
Shattering the sophistry and drowning out
The fading sense of I
Underneath a swirling storm of
Vortices and passing microcosms
Crushing currents grind the path within which
Flow the ravages of time
Fractured though this world may feel
All becomes one when observed from
The cracks in the seams
How is it that this place feels so familiar?
Contradiction never felt so sublime
Welcoming hearth to what should be a stranger
Why do I feel the scrutiny
Of billions of eyes?
Where the waves meet with interference
In their wake a pulse is formed
On the crests I see the grimaces
Of a million lives - untold
Nothing left now, only dreams dwell
And the moon murmurs layers of mesmer
In the distance the rivers
Converge on one point
Where innumerous streams into
Starlight conjoin
Far beyond ancient silence calls
And the undertow whispers my name
At the dawn demesnes break faces
Silvery their brims align
Where the azure ever chases
Crimson hues yet undefiled
I am with sprites which mimic my memories
Tenderly dancing on the cusp of morn
Silent their footfall, candour embracing
Harken familiar inflections of the siren song
Of a vastness which silences all
And every note shakes my cognition
Its verses forever uncoil and go on
Each stanza formed and then unwritten
All that remains is to follow the river
Wander the path
Overcome in times and times before
I long back to flow with it's waters so cold
Aria which came forth from a dream
Echoes in this labyrinth surreal
When stretched in time
A single voice may seem
Like the myriad of ghost notes heard
Within the whir of a river
