Lyrics to Coherence [Full Album 2021] by Be'lakor

Tracklist: 01. Locus Sunrise, sunset, throes of time Then a thousand more Nightfall, daybreak, causes bind Now, again, before Pushed above colliding giants Into air that roared Forgotten fragments scarred my face Sculpted, frozen, thawed Towering, yet anchored Holder of their breath Locus, shadow, turning point Backdrop to their death The sweep of days that moulded me Immense among the mists Crafted also people who Would struggle, grasp, resist One such life unfolded here She wept beneath the moon Exiled from her former life Hiding, waiting, soon I saw around her all things change Each a past component And I, too, was nothing that Endured beyond the moment I watched her live among her thoughts Consumed as each occurred And as she drowned in memories The past survived within her Vicious fears and vicious frosts Had followed her, it seemed Through every moment of her life Though sometimes my slopes gleamed Dread dispersed and passed away A process was undone New coherence followed soon But, in that, I found no one Crumbling rocks near her old grave I break and fall in time And, as each piece is blown away Which part of me am I? 02. The Dispersion [Instrumental] 03. Foothold The ridge had long hinted At strong and at weak Both threatening wall And welcoming peak A taunting horizon For shortening years One sun, but two shadows: Equidistant fears For my life I have watched you Like my father before Do I die without knowing? Or climb to find more? Compelled to discover With answers so near And with thoughts so contorted By a limbic leer With the bristling awareness Of a fate not yet sealed A decision is reached That the great peak shall yield Looking back, I now see Having long since set off Though in first breaking trail Of course, I could not That the struggle continues Tearing sinew each step Sensing one fear replaced By its twin, in regret Sensing one fear replaced By its twin, in regret Growing nearer, hope holding Simple foothold a fall Damaged limb, but not fatal Just a moment, to stall Rising up, now mere steps From the summit, look down To stare out across that Which was already found I am here, at the crest Where my eyes always fell Did I leave them for this? Frozen lips cannot tell Looking back, I now see Having long since set off Though in first breaking trail Of course, I could not That my time, and this mountain, and my father before But a cycle of reaching and striving to claw Moving higher, hands clasping, eyes looking for more Not a thing left to find, in all that I saw 04. Valence As his hands threw the net His mind drifted away Fragments of voices, faces, words Yet each, having passed, was like a dream Leaving echoes that brought others to life A churning current carried him along And barely noticing them writhe The man pulled the fish out one by one In the mountain's shade his shins grew numb As stung fingers drew the final net Within the lake, he heard a hum And saw colours dance beyond the shoals Its form seemed without boundary Its message without words Yet it whispered of his glory And endless joys to hold If only you could reach me The others would admire If only you could grasp me The struggle would expire Without heed without a doubt He slogged into the lake's expanse Resisting as he waded out The water grew around him But all those steps would lead to nowhere His motion masked futility For all the effort he could bear That thing would come no closer His motion masked futility For all the effort he could bear Its form seemed without boundary Its message without words Yet it whispered of his glory And endless joys to hold The zeal drained into regret Had he been down this path before? Each time, it seemed, he would forget That it would never resolve So, giving up, he turned away But once again would find That each and every move he made Would simply bind him tighter But all those steps would lead to nowhere His motion masked futility For all the effort he could bear That thing would come no closer For all the effort he could bear Recursion without resolution Purpose to justify itself Boundless striving, fear and passion To end in nothing, as it started Perception collapsed around the shore Where he could not believe A fisherman, once lost in thought Was staring back, and through, him And as the man came ever nearer Both entangled one aware He mouthed a warning none could hear And sank into the silt 05. Sweep Of Days [Instrumental] 06. Hidden Window The mountain kept a trove inside That was known only to the three Closest friends now that their greed Had burdened them with things to hide The entrance was a hidden window Punctured through a narrow vein To crawl inside as light would wane And come to pitch in caves below In secrecy, they would converge To split the rocks and mill to dust Revealing spoils within the crust From when those peaks had first emerged Blurred intent through eyes that stung Thеir fingers cut upon the slate Whilе stale air would suffocate And sap the vigour from their lungs The taper's flame was just enough To see each pick from fall to rise So desperate that they find their prize Before the wick would finally snuff But when one paused to heave a breath Their friend's hand would conceal, it seemed Which caused a thought had something gleamed? And trust began to sense its death What if he knows that I saw? And what if he decides to strike? But what if it was nothing more Than light's deceit and failing sight? From just a flicker in the mind The thought would twist, consume, then grow And with each wave, doubt would erode Til all he knew confirmed his bind Those ancient paths bore only fear That, left unchecked, had overflowed To shatter balance he had known As shrinking walls began to near In pebble's bouncethe avalanche In falling drop the bursting dam He gripped the pick, and looming, then Swung an arc that killed his friend He barely saw their third had fled As febrile haze evaporated And with it, certainty faded Abandoned now for churning dread Endless whispers from the void Each offering narration He searched the body frantically And begged for vindication 07. Indelible [Instrumental] 08. Much More Was Lost In gleaming morning sun we ran Each day the day it all began A flare was lit between the worlds we wandered We bounded over broken log Across the steppe, beyond the fog To life in tiny fragments all felt bonded By chance one noon we saw someone Our words reached out they heard us come But when eyes met, we glimpsed their hopeless sadness We asked but found we could not fathom What had sewn their sorrowed pattern So we fled that lake and all its madness But still we knew that life was good And through that scare, our joy withstood We found new thrills to chase and thoughts to wonder Our days unfurled with troubles not Through thistles kicked and thorns forgot Til one day something new would drag us under In dappled light that time we roamed On higher land, our senses honed A place so cold and new we had discovered But then we saw we weren't the first A dreamer lay there, frozen, cursed Much more was lost than ever was recovered We ran, but this time with no joy Each stumble shaping man from boy A truth wept through from just behind life's curtain What drove them to that lonely end? Is this the wound no one can mend? A bleeding out of all that had been certain Still others since have crossed our path That man of buried aftermath And she who seemed to wait and hide forever So many moments came and went Yet none were kept, as dreams were spent And in this way old truths emerged together We can recall, I think, a time When footholds held and stories rhymed And now we see that those we met were grasping We know that they had felt it too Until it left them, as they grew To leave them looking back at us for asking Those elders smiled through gritted jaw A deluge held, but held no more And as it broke, it brought new kinds of knowing Return the mind to where it was We try, but it won't go, because That mind has gone, and with it went a glowing
