The Descent by Kaleikr Lyrics

Moving
Downwards
Towards
Familiar depths

Only one expression would remain
Branded upon the now featureless face

It would be that of pain

You steel yourself
Only to find out
You were running from yourself
Over and over again

Through absurd corridors
And times always forgotten

The mountain obscuring the sun
At its peak nothing awaits
Without a sense of purpose
Bear and endure the weight of being

Labyrinthian patterns
Shapes echoing sounds
Turn into visions
Poisoned, inspired by fear

The shape of consciousness revealed
Metastructure intertwined with awareness itself

Rythmic pounding, pulsating pain
Eyes shift from temple to temple
Motion, increasing sickness
Progress achieved through obstruction
Swollen skin, ready to burst
Blood boiling flesh and mind
All I see and all I feel
Is fire

Fire reduced to ember
I feel the sun approaching
Its first rays, warm with contempt
Gently caressed its depleted child

The mountain obscuring the sun
At its peak meaning awaits
Though I gaze at heights untold
Deepest trenches beckon me
