blaise peony – prisons of time lyrics

[king radacorn, spoken]
when i was still king, st servius showed me all of history and all of the future. but the greatest mystery he did not answer to is ‘what happens now?’ am i to let myself be carried towards death or douse myself in futility of days?

(sung)
held between the summits of the past and what is yet to come
i’m married to this barren gorge of present tide
its river running dry, a viscous brine enacting fate
it whisks me off, as if my wake, towards the falls

and many a time i think about the tragedies that brought me down
introducing mine unto this based ground
and if i had my way, i’d rather waste upon its soil
than soon return to prior spoils, my pride is gone

maybe this is sublime
maybe commoners like prisons of time
maybe this anxiety is a lie
imagined here, all in my mind

(spoken)
when he led me across those mountains, i scarcely felt to be myself
a cloud fastened upon the wind, an oracle’s passenger swept up by currents and never intent, free will a mere fable, temporal continuity a paradoxical memory

(sung)
passing by the spattered colourings of happenings i find
i observe, never to experience
that tacit graven image that is rapture young and free
a deference of nescient being, a winsome yoke
each moment a life spent hunting down the key to which my essence wakes
fully known and active through all love and ache
the empire that betrayed my liberal face is now to thank
to pull my skull to higher stakes, to far unknowns

perhaps this is sublime
perhaps i’m steeping in wine, primordial triumph
perhaps i’m a p+wn in need of a knight
caught in the clear, end of the file

maybe this is sublime
maybe this isn’t like prisons of time
maybe this anxiety is a lie
imagined here, all in my mind
