REALM II: AFFIRMATION

Track 07: Absentia

As the vessel ventures onward, the treacherous waters prove to be a metaphorical battleground. The Ancients, masters of manipulation, distort the perceptions of the voyagers. The protagonist's senses are tampered with, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.

lyrics

ABSENTIA

Transfixed by the transmogrification
Enshrouded with hallucinations
Whisper supremacy
Darkness envelopes thee
Subjugate into a hypnotic trance

Succumbed by mired dreams
Nothing is as it seems; in absentia

Malevolent ancients orchestrate
Deceiving thine path of will
Imprisoned forever or until
Ascension unto thy kingdom
Descend into the infernal abyss
Eternal infliction endured
Mercilessly bestowed upon

Merely a pawn in this menagerie
Competing against the opposition's rules
Unsuspecting voyageurs are incapable
To fathom this reality
A test of thine own will to fight or flight
Sharp talons clasp at failure’s plight

Succumbed by mired dreams
Nothing is as it seems; in absentia

Giveth thy will; of abolished beliefs
In absentia; give into disbelief

Thy prayers go unheard
To whom doth thou speak?
Purity for the damned
As demons come, angels fall
