victor primavesi - knight in fractured armour lyrics
[verse 1]
staring into abysmal depths
scr#ped out by your touch
an unseen fracture in my trusted armour
driving forth the
boundary torn and knell brought to sound
between my trembling corpse and my mind
you took what you thought you had to claim as yours
like a hunter bringing down game
[bridge]
but the hunt is on
it has just started
i shall never look behind although our ways have parted
and still hold out for missing pieces
hidden under trapdoors and between niches
[chorus]
holding up my own head when a force pulls me down
threatens to devour a body that wants to rise
to a state of nothingness, (wants to) go somewhere else
[verse 2]
if i only had a name to turn that “you” into a face
a face i then could pin down and deface just like you did
what difference would it make?
a higher form of poetic justice?
or justice after all?
still, the wounds are bound to remain the same
[bridge]
but the hunt is on. it has just started
i shall never look behind although our ways have parted
and still hold out for missing pieces
hidden under trapdoors and between niches
[interlude]
no shivering trees in sight
no skyline, no guiding light
i only live outside this carnal prison of mine
[verse 3]
when the murmurs of cosmic spheres
release their sounds upheld for years…
when they group in pairs and catch my sight
i know the lines i have to write
i know the order they’re asking for
when they make their way down to my door
[verse 4]
cleaving through the atmosphere
i strive to be where the sounds are near
and every day i send a prayer to heaven to understand
these anguishes that hold me back
from rising up to meet my match
and why i still lay pressed to the ground
with my quarry at my feet in the shape of sound
the only win in a hunt in which i lost more
than i could ever count
[chorus]
holding up my own head when a force pulls me down
threatens to devour a body that wants to rise
to a state of nothingness, (wants to) go somewhere else
[outro]
but there was a strength that lied concealed
when i marched away from the battlefield
a strength that now comes to show
oh, how strange, the things we won’t avow…
