Assemblage 23 Divide Lyrics

Divide Lyrics

I lost myself in shapeless oceans
Whose depths concealed more than they
showed
Beliefs obscured by mists around them
A legacy they'd been
bestowed

Columns of ice paint awkward pictures
Distorted forms that
once seemed real
Engulfed inside transparent textures
Billowing curtains
as hard as steel

For all the noise filling the landscape
Whispers and
cries with no reply
It's quiet here within these boundaries
And thoughts
collect like pools of light

My eyes divide the sky
As sirens sound in
heaven
My will brings down the moon
And shatters it to pieces

The
silence grew inconsequential
The day became a paradigm
A thousand years,
a hundred decades
An arbitrary slice of time

I found myself with no
companion
Except the salty earth and sky
And suddenly there came my
focus
The world around me clarified

My eyes divide the sky
As
sirens sound in heaven
My will brings down the moon
And shatters it to
pieces

And so I walked in isolation
Hoping solace would cross my
path
Ignored the road that lay behind me
And stepped away from the
aftermath

I lost myself in shapeless oceans
Whose waters turned from
dark to clear
I floated there, a tiny island
With no more doubt, with no
more fear

My eyes divide the sky
As sirens sound in heaven
My will
brings down the moon
And shatters it to pieces
