Elephant - Shrouded Sleep lyrics
Your rating:
In shrouded sleep I lie As my astral body is cast through time Flying through infinity on scaly wings Transcending nightmares and the waking world The necromancer buried alive struggles to break free From the black-masked dementors of inferno A cyclonic cone of fear roars beneath the ground It's very presence paralyzes the living He'll overcome the sting of death, his tormentors will see Armies of a thousand seraphim, invulnerable to be No more shall mankind hide from evil's wrath and hateful lies Our immortality prevails by the failing nephil cries I enter other realms of magic Witches incant behind clouds of colored smoke The passion - a rapture of wicked convulsion Spellbound to the dream forevermore Haunting entreaties to sail through the heavens Where galaxies glow like enlightened palaces Fables and mythos alive in the twilight Channeling the legends of a nameless past I sit within a cube of glass, a thrall enchants my eyes Warlocks surround the crystal tearing away the skies Invoking primal chaos, former ages pass Stalks of flame engulf the earth in burning gas Monuments rise proud as mountains Symbols of conquest achieving eternity To dust and ash reduced as a floating musty sea A mausoleum of ancient memories Great kings have come and gone by the sun and moon For all their power their bodies now drift like desert sands A wish - a soul trapped in an endless forest A timeless maze adrift in emptiness Some dreams die and some live on though none can ever tell Of how their fates were scattered in the cosmic wishing well Another time into the night on silver spheres we glide Another life will come to be and join the churning tide
