about

REALM II: AFFIRMATION

Track 08: Departing Acheron

Approaching the shores of Necropia, the realm of judgment, the vessel sails closer to its destination. The Ancients intensify their efforts to deceive and ensnare the voyagers. Their intention is to imprison these souls, subjecting them to a fate dictated by the Ancients themselves, just before they face their ultimate judgment.

lyrics

DEPARTING ACHERON

Welcome, we’ve been waiting for you
To unearth these forlorn lands
Riddled with prolonged suffering

Crimson storms whirl above desolate shores
Enthralled by the isle’s mysterious yore
Entranced by structures of lusters gold-laced
Gothic tombs carved into thy mesa face
The damned scale the precarious staircase
Breath of the unknown awaits this foul place

Oozing souls spew from ghoulish spouts
A failed requiem
Sentinels post neath arches of a spired light
An ominous place cloaked in a timeless night

A veil pulled down slowly; shattered to pieces
To bid farewell finally to delusioned anamnesis

Enamored by the ignis fatuus lure
Enticed within to pursue the spoor
White noise fills your thoughts like a dream
Details of your visions become crystalline

Unable to identify the source
Disinclined to ignore the temptation
Drawn towards an unknown force
Surpassing your worst apprehensions

Closed mortal eyes
Open your eternal mind
Release it to us now

This deafening silence so hypnotizing
Stepping off to a realm so mesmerizing
Acceptance towards wonders so dispelling
Ancients surround this domain so compelling
