Ageless Oblivion - Penthos: Lament lyrics

Without me you not pleasure Without me you not bliss Without me the mind would unravel To a permanent state of remiss Neither above not below Neither blessed nor unhallowed I dwell in all that's hollow This world will carry my throne A sovereignty of branch and bone I dwell in all that's hollow The weight of an unliftable stone Intractable power, I can't be overthrown I dwell in all that's hollow I remain misery and sorrow I Lament the wounds that fortune deals I remain in all that's unhealed For I am as much a part of life as life itself These roots grow from me to the earth and into all of its beings I am not a benign, nor hostile ever presence Pull up roots, burn down trees I will exist, always tear down entire cities I will exist, always Seen by the eyes of many, spoken through the voice of all Misery is absolute, always I am the salt in your blood I am your hands in the fire There can be no solace without struggle Through the mine These roots grow not to restrict Allow their growth, prevent their control I am no illness or that which can be cured There is no departure from what must be endured For I am not foul You need me to survive You need me to realize the worth of life I am no deirty, I accept no prayer For I will bring no fortune Regardless of that which you believe I am as real as the soil As the seas which churn As if to worship fire Fire still burns I am the winds of human sorrow I am the waves of no tomorrow The time you live is the time you borrow For I reside in all that's hollow
