lyrics

Venture beyond this placid island
Only to find deeper shadows
Touched by the radiation
Of the Logos Emmenation
I searched the astral sea
I found it within me
The greater grows my sphere
The farther grows the near

Oceans of ignorance
Boundless darkened tides
Break upon the brilliant light
To see how little we surmise

A voyager within my consciousness
Sensations fade away I take my rest
Black and still is the canvas
Who is the painter of this scene within my inner eye?
I’ve taken just one step into myself, but who am I?
Abstractions fail to satisfy
Upstream of consciousness I swim
Into the river which never runs dry

Oceans of ignorance
Boundless darkened tides

What lies beyond our space and time?
Wherein’s the cause of all we find?
How sits the highest of highs?
Why all these endless whys?
To sense the absence in sentience
Incense the senses and the elect
The learned ignoramus, a lover so unwise

My dreams are haunted
With the ghost of a child
Unbound by concepts
Of my substance defined

I unlock the gate to a deeper self
No truth at the bottom but an infinite well
Ever blurring the boundary from the mind to the world
Expanding my power as I unbind my soul

I crave negation
Of the limits of form
Transcend dead schemas
Becoming lucid and wild

So take me away
Far adrift
I trust you
I choose to
O endless sea

Oceans of ignorance
Boundless darkened tides
Break upon the brilliant light
Reveal the wonder trapped inside
