Faith And The Muse Rise And Forget Lyrics

Rise And Forget Lyrics

I woke up tired, I woke up down on my knees tonight
My eyes were wet and I
felt so dead inside
A grieving fragment of myself, distorted
memory
Choking tears as I slam the door again

I swallow rage, I taste
its wisdom
Nomadic fears force sanctuary
I drink in truth, I spit out
meaning
Ever possessed by the collective psyche

On dread
subconsciousness we spin and turn
Inherent images strap us in
position
Autarchic instinct commands the assigned performance
The
abduction scene, the sacred horn dance

I am enthroned, I am
imprisoned
The mirror speaks to my third face
Regeneration, eternal
mindless
The questions wax, the answers wane

Suffer; celebrate
I
sing my praises
I curse my name
Suffer; celebrate
The spirit comes to
life
Ancestors reanimate

Seduction leading straight from logic to
nightmare
Virility misdirects the hunter's primal need
Extractions from a
butcher's masterpiece
So split my skin and make me bleed

I woke up
tired, I woke up buried by dreams tonight
Compelled to kneel before another
faceless beast
An ancient splinter of myself - these are not my
memories
Mutated visions, theaccentric reasoning

Suffer;
celebrate
I sing my praises
I curse my name
Suffer; celebrate
The
spirit comes to life
Ancestors reanimate
