Ariadne

(álbum: Offerings - 2018)

One million doorways, I can't make up my mind
Hallucinating audiences just to hand me a lifeline
I want to love you, I just don't have the time

Images of the primitive awakened from a dream
Console yourself with the morning bells but you can't shake the feeling
Of being tied down to a table the guests are sharpening their teeth

Everyone is a hostage
How will we ever get free?
We can't even go a minute without
Trying to burn an effigy

Go ahead, get comfortable, forget your past life
You find the devil's mansion has many rooms inside
There's no features, there's no furniture
But you got nothing to hide

Everyone is a terrorist now
Don't you know the neighbor?
And if there's any chance of getting out
You gotta make yourself remember

All my joys
All my grief
All my bones
All my bones
Bury me in the floodplains

Asa nisi masa
Asa nisi masa
Asa nisi masa
Asa nisi masa

The spiral is unwinding, we've unloosed The Nemesis
We've leveled our protection and we open the abyss
Where nightmares walk in daylight and the lamb devours the kid
Have mercy! Have mercy! How did it come to this?

The spiral is unspooling, the center couldn't hold
We choked on our inheritance, and hell on earth is cold
I forgive you, brothers, sisters, thread my neck into the noose
It's my only offering, and I pray that you refuse
Of everything that you're about to lose
This will be the most painful
