alcyone - summit of no descent lyrics

jolted awake by the crackling flame
in a shivering delirium+
gazing toward the bedside, breathing again;
still imprisoned within the cycle of grief

weeping apologies give way to clarity
as he starts to recall his unconscious sight

he finds duality
of the whispered name
the maize god and the peak…
purpose floods back to his life

[solo sean]
[solo ray]

seeking origin of the spectral voice
meditating on the otherworldly beckoning
he sets for sacatepéquez
night by night, following the dreams and drones
sending vivid guidance to his mind
each morning with burning ears ringing clear
empty of his kin’s lament, grabbing roots to scale the earth
the atmosphere begins to thin+
pressure growing behind his eyes
reveries obscure inner cognizance
the visions augment deep senses of dread

ambivalent pilgrimage;
recalling where he plunged his sorrows
a black sun looms over those waves
volcanic heaps pile skyward

a tree of beheadings at it’s crest
chants rumble beneath the stirring currents
“hun+kame, hun+kame…”

he focuses his eyes
remembering where he stands
returning to reality
on this mountain
squinting eyes through the blistering winds
the sky is clearing and the ocean is gone

hallucinations fade
exhaustion surmounting
clawing higher through the gravel
breath is fleeting
the summit shows itself through his blurring sight
hooded figures loom, his conscience giving way…
