Silent Language

from The Empty Set by Photovoltaik

/

lyrics

So the cornerstone was placed
And the temple rose to form
We tally the wine and oil
And the thrice great name
Of sun moon and stars
Heralding
The collapse of ritual
Ergo sunwise we inscribe
Our vision

Concentric circles; the silent language sounds
Force of will collapsing rings on themselves
As the spiral turns
The serpent revealed
Consumes all its yesterdays

What do we make when the maker falls away?
What do we save?
Tetragrammatons and salt remain
Artificial lines
As above, so below

Be it metempsychoses
Or Elesian fields
The present’s scripted
For the sake of future earnings

We lead our lives
In shackles to our fear
Wholly ignorant of
Ataraxy

We’ve drawn the lines
And with this arc
The sacred sigil closes

Concentric circles; the silent language sounds
Force of will collapsing rings on themselves
As the spiral turns
The serpent revealed
Consumes all its yesterdays

What do we make when the maker falls away?
What do we save?
Tetragrammatons and salt remain
Artificial lines
As above, so...

Raise up the flag; do it slowly, solemnly
Raise up the flag, this is what you were meant to be
Raise up the flag and make something for yourself
