Sempiternal Beings

(album: Fauna - 2023)

In stasis, it bends but won't break us
Aurelia, majestic as a lion's roar embodies her
Terranean, threaten and shield us
Endanger, recoil and rewind the tapes
She's born again

Always returning
How is this possible?
It's never over
I'll meet you in another life!

Medusa, a haunting allure
Elusive ectoplasmic residue
She'll dance for you
Inducing hydro-cosmic dreams in you
Of eternal blue

Spineless
Stinger
Servant
Healer

And I'm seven less heartbeats away
But no one's keeping time
The lengths I would go through to meet with you
In another life
And the ocean between us is where
We find inner peace
When will we cease to convince ourselves
We're sempiternal beings?

Stoned by her gaze
The queen of despair
Oh, chimeless bell of snakes
Delight the liquid air
She emanates the squall and serene
Consuming no more
Than she wants or she needs

And I'm seven less heartbeats away
But no one's keeping time
The lengths I would go through to meet with you
In another life
And the ocean between us is where
We find inner peace
When will we cease to convince ourselves
We're sempiternal beings?

(Glowing with abandon)
(Ambassador of balance)

Oh, is it then or now?
It's a long way down
Neither day nor night
Is this death or life?

And I'm seven less heartbeats away
But no one's keeping time
The lengths I would go through to meet with you
In another life
And the ocean between us is where
We find inner peace
When will we cease to convince ourselves
We're sempiternal beings?
(Seven less heartbeats away)
And I'm seven less heartbeats away
But no one's keeping time
(The lengths I would go through to stay)
The lengths I would go through to meet with you
In another life
(An ocean between us avails)
And the ocean between us is where
We find inner peace
(We keep convincing ourselves)
When will we cease to convince ourselves
We're sempiternal beings?
