Soulbound

(album: Abyss - 2020)

We race around the melted char of what was once a neutron star
And use the gravity to whip us into dark galactic rifts
Yet still somehow we can't escape, they have no flaw, they feel no pain
These twisted shadows of the men I once condemned

We can
Why do you seek us
See right
You won't defeat us
Through you
Turn around while you can

Your soul
Try to remember
Is ours
Why you defend her
This time
Shatter the master plan

Soul bound
Endlessly forever
Locked between the darkness and the light
Don't drown
In the swarming, blackened rising
Hold on to humanity and fight

Tormented by the tethering of souls to phantoms that remain
These spectres seem devoid of life but there is something in their eyes
Refuse to see they can't be saved, I push to pull them from the grave
End their addiction to the thrall once and for all

But who am I to be their saviour, slave to time
When I am doomed to be in chains for all my life

Soul bound
Endlessly forever
Locked between the darkness and the light
Don't drown
In the swarming, blackened rising
Hold on to humanity and fight
