Inspired by and quoting from Al Aaraaf by Edgar Allan Poe.
lyrics
White meat, A faint call inside my endeavor
The mind inside, counting the time holding the dye
I can feel, the light on my skin pulling me in
Above me, my hands reach for the devil
The combination complete, Regret, my eyes shed a tear
Across wicked deceit, I have failed
You
cast me away
cast me away
My masquerade
Dim was its little disk, and angel eyes
Alone could see the phantom in the skies,
When first Al Aaraaf knew her course to be
Headlong thitherward o’er the starry sea —
But when its glory swell’d upon the sky,
As glowing Beauty’s bust beneath man’s eye,
We paus’d before the heritage of men,
And thy star trembled — as doth Beauty then!”
I am now
facelessness, i am one to run away
in truth i knew that i am of phantom form
incomplete, trapped in the core of all forever
Within the marching time, the beats now out of line
We cant see, as the light brings on the devil
within me; the flesh binds and calls out for the nether
I am passing away
I can see the light
My eyes burst and my body dissolves
I am one with death
Thus, in discourse, the lovers whiled away
The night that waned and waned and brought no day
They fell: for Heaven to them no hope imparts
Who hear not for the beating of their hearts.
