Draconian
Under a Godless Veil
1. Sorrow of Sophia
Sophia is forgiven
The mother of our prison
Sophia is glistening
Always weeping for the world
She's apprehension
And her eyes torn by guilt
And we have these souls
And through her we are ascension
The grandeur of stillness
And all of her sadness
As lives cry out in torment
You are the everlasting sun
From the spark of countless eons
You are weeping for the world
And we sleep with the tides where we were lulled into matter
Holding the burden of time
And we wake in the midst of a world about to shatter
Shedding the burden of time
And from my window I saw the darkness ignite
And a goddess concealed in shadow
Seducing the stars and the flaming Gaia
I came here from the waters to invoke
The spirit within you
I came to remind you
But you are lost in a sea of dark
Sophia is forgiven
The mother of our prison
She's stuck in deafening winds
The whispering in the fields, in the trees and stone
The sorrow and the guilt
It broke through the spheres and fed the demons inside
And we sleep with the tides where we were lulled into matter
Holding the burden of time
And we wake in the midst of a world about to shatter
Shedding the burden of time
2. The Sacrificial Flame
Oh life, oh barren wasteland
A wandering callous dream
We are rising and transcending
These dreamless gods, never-ending
The shackles of your demons fall silent
The shackles of your demons fall
A maelstrom of silvery light breaks the simulation
And the dark face of Eve paints the Sethian sky
Oh life, so frail
Rests your body in decay
Now surpassing the corporal
One final horrid astonishment
The shackles of your demons fall silent
The shackles of your demons fall
You brought death, heartbreak and pain
Your mother wept and welcomed the rain
For the lives we've led, for the songs we've sang
Like one last breath on the sacrificial flame
Soul Matter Spirit Desire
Soul Matter Spirit Desire
Soul Matter Spirit Desire
The Achamoth raped on the funeral pyre
Soul Matter Spirit Desire
Soul Matter Spirit Desire
Earth Wind Water and Fire
The Achamoth raped on the funeral pyre
And here, each flower, each flame
Every new-born child
Wears a garment of sorrow
For peace cannot ascend
With blood on my hands
And war throughout our lands
Cause here, this bountiful Earth
The harvest static and bound
Cause here, under Achamoth skies
Where you assembled our confinement
I raise my head from the Water
The unknown has no filter
Oh Lord, oh dreadful Watcher
Your ruin will only scratch my skin
The shackles of your demons fall silent
The shackles of your demons fall
You brought death, heartbreak and pain
Your mother wept and welcomed the rain
For the lives we've led, for the songs we've sang
Like one last breath on the sacrificial flame
3. Lustrous Heart
Oh, lustrous heart
Persevere through life
And dishonor
The tears of Sophia
Remind you
How beautiful you were
Before they made you
Before they made you to forget
Before they made you
Before they made you
Unknown god head down low falling snow
Unknown god head down low into the fallen snow
You're not untouchable Byzantine hero
Reach out and break the cosmic window
Bring back a deity of boundary eradication
And ultimate freedom
Total recall and paradises lost comes crashing down
Before they made you
Before they made you to forget
Before they made you
Before they made you
Unknown god head down low falling snow
Unknown god head down low into the fallen snow
Into the fallen snow
You're not untouchable Byzantine hero
Reach out and break the cosmic window
You're not untouchable
4. Sleepwalkers
We’re sleepwalking
Piercing, hateful eyes are watching
We’re sleepwalking
The hungry ghosts are never patient
Look at Me
Oh, wretched Creator
This is what I've become
Come into the fray
For everything we've become
in this cell we call home
Lost in this iron-clad song
We're sleepwalking
backwards to where it all began
Our minds are locked
where black stars hang
Look at Me
Oh, paralyzed savior…
and the darkening of souls
Come into the fray
For everything we've become
in this cell we call home
Lost in this iron-clad song
We came into the light
to surrender our hearts
as we cry for salvation
Hopeless, unaware
I’m gone and I’m sleepwalking
Nothing but rattling chains
I’m naked and I’m sleepwalking
Look at You
An accuser made God
How far you have fallen
Come into the fray
For everything we've become
in this cell we call home
Lost in this iron-clad song
We came to the dark
to remember our hearts
as we fight for salvation
5. Moon over Sabaoth
Oh Fathers and kinsmen
Yield in glorious bow,
for its springtime on Saturn
See the Archons gather
around the celestial crown
for the god of Saturn
Towards the liquid light
Like a swarm of lice
We stand tall,
for no more shall our souls
rattle the chains of Saklas
and the moon over Sabaoth
Where you are laid to rest,
a skeleton that was blessed
We found only Death
Oh gracious Mother
You're trapped here with us
in the darkness of Saturn
Hear the Archons whisper
in the shadows of fear
for the god of Saturn
Down comes the serpent rain
Of a god insane
We stand tall,
for no more shall our souls
rattle the chains of Saklas,
and the moon over Sabaoth
Where you are laid to rest -
a skeleton that was blessed
We found only Death
Let fires plummet
at the soundless dawn,
I am here to defend you
from the cold
(of) the Saturnian glow
Oh brothers sisters
Be brave and rise above
The moon over Sabaoth
We stand tall,
for no more shall our souls
rattle the chains of Saklas,
and the moon over Sabaoth
Where you are laid to rest -
a skeleton that was blessed
We found only Death
6. Burial Fields
Sophia:
I'm at shadows with the world
The more I writhe - the more I love
...and through a field of broken hearts
all the dust will settle
And you'll leave this life
even more beautiful
I'm the only angel you need
when you hold the coldest shield
A frozen stare beyond me
You're the one to absolve me
from every shade of winter
in their eyes
Christos:
You are the only angel I need
when I enter the darkest fields
A thousand lives behind you
They took the power from you
But I am the one to absolve you
from every shade of winter
in their eyes
7. The Sethian
Listen, listen to the weeping
of the continents,
the shifting of the elements
And an universe locked in glass
by an abject patriarch of insolence
My knees won't bend
My hands won't fold
I've sworn dissent
upon your Father
I am the Sethian
I did not fall from grace,
I’ll leapt to freedom
from the black iron prison,
from depravation to revelation
I’m but a dweller on the threshold
(of paradise and Earth)
My knees won't bend
My hands won't fold
I've sworn dissent
upon your Father
I am the Sethian
And you forget your god is a demon
I bleed in the lies you are preaching
This coffin in my heart
enclosed in the deepest dark
I was brought here
by the blasphemy of God
The perisher of Thought
Our knees won't bend
Our hands won't fold
We've sworn dissent
upon your Father
I am the Sethian
And you forget your god is a demon
I bleed in the lies you are preaching
The world is dreaming
(and) Your god is a demon
And mine is a mountain
of souls' screaming
8. Claw Marks on the Throne
Their kingdom has fallen
and black mists dissolve
From us they have stolen
the sacred, divine call
Fall
Rise
And come forth
In infinity is the absence of time
nothing can grow, nothing emerges,
everything a reflection of the same
so Death created a child called Time
to grow what It would kill
and We echo our lives and our cries,
born into the same crimson cage
we’ve always been born into
So we die for each other
with every single glance
The knowing and the sorrow
As the doves frail wings
soaked in oblivious trance
Forever, watch it flee
Claw marks on the throne,
for the soulless architects;
These dragons and conquerors
Crazed, blissful and frozen in fire
Claw marks on the throne…
the silent chaos
Malevolent emperors
Crazed, blissful and frozen in fire
This newborn horizon
already looks dead to me
These Archons are waiting
to set the darkness free
Claw marks on the throne,
for the soulless architects;
these dragons and conquerors
Crazed, blissful and frozen in fire
Claw marks on the throne…
The silent chaos
Malevolent emperors
Rise!
9. Night Visitor
I brush these shackles off the wind
with a drunken insomniac frown
A never-ending repetition
to melt the frozen sun
And there is no victory
There is no loss
The ones that I love are safe
from the horrors I keep
There is no victory
There is no loss
No joy but the dawn of peace
My courage is crashing
on the breeze
and dark is the moon
through the trees
In perfect silence,
in hopeless defeat
I’ll own my pain
and put down my feet
And there is no victory
There is no loss
The ones that I love are safe
from the horrors I keep
There is no victory
There is no loss
No joy but the dawn of peace
10. Ascend into Darkness
I'm the first one to die,
parting with these filthy attires now
I can see the dazzling dark
defying the scorn of the rulers
to no longer sleep in stone
Dead wishes,
dead wishes upon the Heavens,
And the hollow-hearted
for them comes no revealer
I will never bow
For they are Deceivers
The soulless seven
for them there’s no remorse
Only Death
Clad in jewels of grievance
A clandestine dream of the Earth
is the death of rebirth
As I feel your shame inside me
I’m but a reverent prowling
the shores of Eden
But I’m leaving here
A wound that heals
and the right to be forgotten
The sad voice of Wisdom
yearns for a dreamless sleep
The Demiurge and the crooked cross,
the god-imitator
and the harvester of loss
Wallow and weep, ravished kin
Fear not to surface your soul
in this silent, violent world
No wishes,
no wishes upon the Heavens
and the heart-departed
they plead to their redeemer
And I will never bow
For they will just deceive Her
And the soulless even
for them there’s no remorse
Only Death
Do not conform
to the shroud of fallen daughters and sons,
to the dwindled faith of lovers long gone
Faded with the setting sun
Behold my ascendance
from a creation taken from us
Mismanaged by the angelic deep state
and inorganic spiritual hate
Every material thing
a brick in the barricade
Dear mother, have mercy on me
I’ve just learned your name
But I'm leaving here
A wound that heals
and the right to be forgotten
The sad voice of Wisdom
yearns for a dreamless sleep
Dear Mother,
Have mercy on me
I’ve just learned your name
I can see the dazzling dark
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Oh mother,
Have mercy
