Akhlys
			The Dreaming I

1. Breath and Levitation

I Dream of Breath
I Dream of Breathing
Breathe and Levitation

Inhale
Death
Exhale
Life

I am master of All
Lifeless
Deathless

I am the darkness now
I am it's light
I am the dreamer
I am the dream

I soar above celebrants
A revelry in Fires Below
To Them I am Unknown
Abode of living shadows
Place of Abstractions
And old woman is seeking
Beyond A Window Pane
Out Beyond the Glass
With Malice Upon my Tongue
She Hears my Words
Spoken in threes
Beyond the a window pane
Out Beyond the Glass

"Go now into death
And be Cursed by Death
Go now into death
And be Cursed by Death
Go now into death
And be Cursed by Death"

Countenance of Terror
Aligned with my Reflection


2. Tides of Oneiric Darkness

Voiceless Words birth terror
A body without substance or form casts such horrid shadows

Your gaze
Your gaze unseen

Pierced my heart
Pierced my heart

Pierced my soul
Pierced my soul

I was within you
You were without
And you were within me
You showed me the living darkness

"That which is dead desires to be born
That which is born is destined to die"

You showed me the living darkness
The night beyond night

"The devil is coming out...
The devil is coming out...
The devil is coming out of me..."

You marked me
Long ago
And I shall seek you
Eternally


3. Consummation

Gateways Upon Gateways
Gateways Upon Gateways

The ebb and flow of lethean waves
The ebb and flow of lucidity

I dreamt of a sun
A sun over a sea
That knew no land
So many ships upon it
So many dreaming souls

I dreamt of a hall
Suspended in an abyss
And at its end was a mirror
Reflecting Me from afar

The Self that remains yet unknown

I dreamt of a building
With Labyrinthine Halls
All crimson and gold
All ruin and decay

A room
Which housed an invisible spirit
Of infanticide
I heard his call
And it slew me
And it slew me

Gateways Upon Gateways
Gateways Upon Gateways

The ebb and flow of lethean waves
The ebb and flow of lucidity

I dreamt of a sun
A sun over a sea
That knew no land
So many ships upon it
So many dreaming souls

I dreamt of a hall
Suspended in an abyss
And at its end was a mirror
Reflecting Me from afar


4. The Dreaming Eye

She weaves a dreaming darkness
Upon a still and muted loom
And from it falls such shadows
The Waking world could never know

I dream to awaken
I awaken to dream
I dream to awaken
To form about me
A place of adumbrations
Vestiges arising from the dark of consciousness

It is night
It is night
The night without stars
The night outside of time

Oh, place of desolation
Which I have fathered

I have been here so many times before
And dire circumstance
Which I have engendered
Again and again

A sword of lucidity
I strike into the heart of this place
As a nail to the soil

I affix a moment in timeless time
To awaken my dreaming will
To open the dreaming eye

Cast off soporic bails
Brought forth from ivory gates

Awaken
Awaken
Awaken
In dreams

Awaken
Awaken
Awaken
In dreams

Awaken in dreams

That I may arise above the sea of oneiric darkness
And walk upon its waters

To commune
To commune
To commune

Awaken in dreams

That I may arise above the sea of oneiric darkness
And walk upon its waters

To commune
To commune
To commune
