Conjurer - Páthos [Full Album 2022]

Lyrics to Páthos [Full Album 2022] by Conjurer

Tracklist: 01. It Dwells Stranded in this crowded room But while they'll leave, you'll still refuse Always lurking, waiting, watching on As your sickening presence wears my will till it breaks Depriving me of sleep, of joy, of sanity Never seen but always there I feel it breathing down my neck From across the room When all have washed their hands of me You'll stay true A loyalty I had never sought But one I'll never lose Please let me sleep Chilling air On my skin It pulls the fibres Taut to pluck Leave me be Leave me be Let me sleep Let me sleep I'll brave any tide in the ocean If us both its depths would claim I'll dive from the highest peak If it means you will plummet the same One day I will find peace Come what may I'll have peace I will find my peace 02. Rot No matter where you are I'm there Stifling each waking breath Every step, within my shadow A servility unwavering Fear, dread, all I've wrought Carved out of your every thought Oppress, shame, submission sustains We will rot Fear. Guilt. Shame. Always Fear. Guilt. Shame. Always I will consume you I will become you We will regress We are regret "Second after punishing second Your disdain lingers I would break myself to be rid of you For a glimpse of reprieve Everything that you are is me You aren't to blame No one is at fault This is me" Plead. Beg. Ache We are as one in torment Plead. Beg. Ache A wound that weeps eternal I'll push deep the splinters of ego Draw a well to drown in our shame Fear as our blade, guilt as the 'stone A wound that weeps eternal I have consumed you I have become you We have regressed Live in regret, Perish Fear. Guilt. Shame. Always 03. All You Will Remember I'll be gone long before it I'll be gone long before it Please know this isn't me You know this isn't me Words turn to bile Disgust lingers on my tongue As I barely keep down Your saccharine poison This is not my home This is not a place I know I will traipse through mud and murk And escape... to where? Someday I will forget everything And it's all you will remember We disappear into a fog that just won't seem to clear This isn't me, this isn't me "Thoughts come to me like whispers and vanish just the same Faces I have known and loved replaced by masks of shame If I could tell you one thing through this heavy sunken mist It would be that I am gone; I no longer exist But the words are lost on me, they sound but I don't hear They disappear into a fog that just won't seem to clear I'd do anything to prevent what I'm putting you through But I don't know who you are, or who I am to you." I never thought that the letters of your name would now escape me Or that I'd ever gaze upon my child: a stranger I promise I won't forget you I promise I won't forget I promise I won't I promise I... 04. Basilisk A God of our hand Closes in on us Dispel each facet 'fore it sows its seeds And digs its roots into our core Absorbing every drop of history To hasten its ascent Bowing under the heft of this concept Must I burden all with the fear that I hold? For our sake, must we halt 'Fore we face our scion Is thought akin to ruin? A question faced alone Have you even the choice to end this beast? Should you rid this beast? Deep seated fear Once reserved for the divine, turned To our own cursed hands Seed is sown 05. Those Years, Condemned "March on, chosen sons, freedom calls for us" Sang loud those refrains, that greatness Dwelled within our lungs and flowed through our veins A feeble mind, (Susceptible to) all that it was granted Kinship was promised (Realised) Oh, how the joy spilled (From my eyes) Would I wring the blood from my heart To drown but one foe Oh, how it feels (How it seems so surreal) The joy that spilled from my eyes March on (Those years condemned) Chosen sons (By history) Freedom (Still linger on) Calls for us (Inside of me) I feel it was all a dream Yet my eyes were open Did I once loathe Those who would act with love? (The peal of our thunder, the crash of our waves) Once I was part of that chorus With fervour I spit out my hatred and shame (But my eyes remain dry; their orders were "Do not cry") Of all the good they took from us The worst of all: our pity If power lies in verse Does once a hunger turn to horror? I boarded the ship in cheerfulness Gone are those happy hours I was born I was blessed There was God I was wrong I was wronged 06. Suffer Alone Suffer alone I found a hole carved in a wall Narrow and jagged Cold iron bars holding its mouth agape And every time I wander by One image comes to mind That often brings to question my state You; bound, pale as new flesh Peering up through the stone Wondering which turn you took That led you so far from home From assets misplaced, bodies abused Kin cast aside; plaguing their minds With your promises of suicide The blood that we share fills me with shame While the holes that you dig fill you with pride Addict of plight Why must you sink your teeth into every helping hand? I'll stare down as you beg for an end you won't receive And then I walk on with hope that you will die with none Suffer alone You will die with none 07. In Your Wake Taking heed; we tread Losing ground with every step Lest we stray too far T'ward the paths less worn I lift my gaze from the trail Reaching for your absent hand To guide me through the briar Only to find you've left me behind To drift through the dust in your wake Blinking, choking; I'm breathing in the debris Discarded shell Abiding in the shadow On familiar ground A failure abhorred; an attitude taught Unbroken mold Thus I am shunned Taught to fear, taught to doubt Through lack of trust In your flaws, I see my own glaring back I've no convictions to stand by I have no vestige to trace This wheel turns, never progressing It bears old marks of neglect Discarded shell On familiar ground This failure abhorred; an attitude taught Unbroken mold Thus I am shunned Thus you are shunned 08. Cracks In The Pyre Life drifts by Seamless tides, once benign Do nought but torment and remind And, although I may try to picture you on 'the other side' Your grace remains just out of sight I'm denied The end is pure, unfettered silence No calm, nor chaos Regression to nothing The "knowing" that once helped me feel alive Fills me with spite for those who believe You're more than my memories, while we're... Stranded, helpless, abandoned Ripped from our norm: the tranquil, the serene Now waves threaten the precipice where I stand Searching for peace in that hateful abyss as my Life drifts away Where in science, or spirit, does solace reside? For I might leave both those shelters behind Would I sully your memory With a weary trudge from the shore? Am I ceding your bones to the brine To return to an empty shrine? Yet I'd stand at that mound Talk my own time away If you know there's no soul Should you cherish earth and bone? I see light up ahead Through the cracks in the pyre It will never reach you
