argonavis - carving the wapta gorge lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
katabasis—the shroud of day and dusk
where the fortress surrenders in the wolf-willow’s musk
a weapon of cruelty was swiftly appeased
in the kingdom of cruelty, scorched flesh and disease

[verse 1]
the earth shakes, and fall
the sorrowful faces of mountain walls
from that black cloud of misery
that yet, bore the scent of victory…

[chorus]
katharmos—yields wounded skies
it runs, the flood of crimson blood
and draws me close to feast my eyes
the imperilment was cruelty’s intent
and wolf-willow boughed in nocturnal lament

[verse 2]
it tipped weighty totality, it disturbed the quintessential
entropic balance between vitality and demise
to release the mountain’s destructive potential

[bridge]
stone and ice, carve and cleave!
the red rift widens; upheave, upheave!
when the stones, enslaved, agonize!
these empty hands, once bound, now forge
they scr-pe and carve the wapta gorge;
scr-ping and carving the wapta gorge
…within the gorge, timpanist resound…
these empty hands once bound!

resounding timpani
cleave!

as red rifts widen
upheave, upheave!
when the stones, enslaved agonize
raise thy standards
hail might!
cleave the stones and cut the night
scr-ping, and carving the wapta gorge
i have ascended; ensanguined, crowned
victorious, crowned and triumphant!

majesty! the maw:
majesty and awe!
wapta!
