Wilderun - Epigone [The Best Progressive Metal Album]

Lyrics to Epigone [The Best Progressive Metal Album] by Wilderun

Tracklist: 01. 00:00 Exhaler I felt the world too well I felt the world too well There was nothing to tell The starlight of the shell The wind would be my spine At the advent of my time The glory of all things Was implicit to the waking Each new day so clearly awake Cloudy dreams no more Than ghosts who partake Endless years contained within a day Hell comes near, the question waits for its play The key was skin and bone When the earth was still my home The fortune has been spent And the secrеt has been hidden Locked away How could I lose The greatest knowledge I ever knew? 02. 04:44 Woolgatherer Then all bent and turned itself to smoke Lesions filled with questions appeared as soon as I awoke Will you persist? Practicing the end before the start The way I'm crawling sideways You're better off if I depart Won't you dismiss me? Dismiss me I'm tired and applauded for an answer That's slipping Appearing as a statue while running through the trees One earth kept its balance But luckily there were more I could not see They were born of nothing Stay with me Stay with me You've let me in So graciously Secretive emotions the universe will keep Punishment or privilege It offers you an opening to peek This is the way This is the light Yet suddenly Becoming much too bright The treasure should never have been unearthed Reality twists and reveals its worth The clock is set forever in reverse My revelation's just a memory to nurse Free the eyes of the reverence within That well has dried Nothing I imagine can compare I'll be a passerby Do they ever see the final world That they create? Or is it the very nature of its heart To arrive one moment too late I just wanted to escape to your domain Mine's not the same Wandering, vibrant stream Burrowing purpose Soon as it has touched my hand It's far too near What I hold dear Cannot be stained by me Leave it there I've a window and a chair Burning throat, make me float Let me lie where Ego does not dare, but still aware A web of dead converging branches Drips with blood and squandered chances There's something I missed here I peer through the woods onto the altar I knew that dreams could bend And often falter But this is not the same Not cowardice or pain The fundamental void Is staring blankly Lead or follow, maybe this is over Flee the spring before the bar is lowered Clearly this cannot capture the holy Precedent that will forever hunt me We will not dismiss thee, dismiss thee Forever you'll chase the answer That's missing 03. 18:56 Passenger Passenger He is a river with endless flow His source seems eternal under the water He found a loophole in creation’s glow So steady and measured his pace Oh what grace All in place All in place She is a mountain within a storm How beautifully weathered with no effort She’s probably had that since she was born How much we have reaped from a mind forlorn  While harvesting chaos, the door is ajar It starts seeping (Such spontaneity!) The beings enter from near and afar And they aren’t leaving (Blessed for eternity!) Keep feeding the gaping disease Where meaning persists (Isn’t it wonderful!) You know this journey is all that you need We must insist (Aren’t you so colorful!) Pain’s just a passenger In spite of the author We’ll never lead you to that lake To drown suffering and hate You need this like fire needs the air Tabula rasa, a road you should not dare Die in creation’s lair They are the martyrs, we’ll praise them so And borrow their feelings for just a while But once they sink in, we’ll let them go Oh surely they’ve learned to cope Forever the deal, it’s forever the plan To break every rock and inhale the sand Never enjoy the surface, always digging beneath You know what you are, when you see… All the hells and all the bliss revealed As a single god It won’t help, yet to it you must kneel It began its life as a partner When it fed you tales of woe and wonder It’s depleted all its stores Yet somehow it still remains It still feigns its uses Practical abuses How mundane this healing What are you achieving? It was a creature that clawed at your back Keeping your vision just slightly off-track “Oh don’t you worry, you’ll thank me for this Praise will rise from the ruins and mist” You still need me It gave you everything when this began Stories and questions and worlds to expand But it is the origin, is it the start? Or just a parasite sewn to your heart? Obfuscating Forevermore Drown in the wellspring Abandon meaning 04. 28:55 Identifier Already have I fallen prey Hypocritical dismay Still I go forth Still I go forth Slave to the form There is a mystery inside you A purity of being we innately know How can the speechless seem to ring true? To find the frequency and carry on The bypassing of justification The ether breathes through you And that is all you need And yet persists this one persuasion To link it all to some mortal deed We cannot stop corrupting you Transcendence can and will not do Aesthetic formed by precedent How else would we know what we meant? Shed that earthly cloak Stained with what we spoke Curse that we wrote The reason manifests in an instant The rite of being is arranged by space and time Yet we're still skeptics of an existence Absent corporeal and lucid lines Primordial is what you heard Let all this space become absurd Before this time, before this word Before the gods were ours to burn Shed that earthly cloak Stained with what we spoke This was never meant to be So close to you and me How can I distance myself from this? Turn all my being to smoke and mist Oh, still I give essence a cursory glance And once again into this dance We fall All creatures gather traces of mind Constructing stories of what they hope to find Think I'd rather be blind All this correlation of the abstract Will shine all the brighter once we can pull it back Once we can pull it back (I have fallen prey) You, identifier (I have fallen prey) You can go no higher Maybe it's time to let go The signs displaying in the stars The stars consumed by my eyes My eyes inverting into my voice Still my voice betrays Writhing in a vast and cosmic source From this, let my cause divorce Deconstruct the great supernal seas Overwhelm, dismantle me Your voice, your lies Sever all your ties Your voice, your lies Sever all your ties Tiptoe into the vague Sneak past patterned plagues Chaos seems to be void of shame Yet I always return Where to make is merely to yearn This was never meant to be So close to you and me How can I distance myself from this? Turn all my being to smoke and mist Oh, still I give essence a cursory glance And once again into this dance We fall We fall We fall We fall 05. 40:28 Ambition [Instrumental] 06. 43:09 Distraction I One of three if I'm lucky, one of two more like What a waste to be dwelling In the light's demise tonight This was never a problem, no reason it's appeared No tangible conclusion, at least not one that's clear And yet I cannot fully grasp in its wondrous breadth That which I'm afraid to lose That for which I've wept Counting everything aimlessly, count it all again Everything eludes me, yet concerns me more All is more unknowable than I've ever known before Constantly the providing sun feeds me life Yet I cannot notice as I'm tracking its path in the sky Terror has come to stay Look away Dare you expand into all Downfall 07. 48:05 Distraction II Pulling it back again From earth, moon, to hand and pen We can keep all the wheels turning Safely remove the "when" Toil the land for years Witness repeating gears We'll cycle until we believe The earth will present a mirror But a mind so curious Must drift now and then It will peer for a moment Just around the bend All is approaching More quickly Than you can close the door Pulling it back again From millions to less than ten It's a map with no destination There's minutes left to defend Wounds that you seek to heal And subsequently you'll peel The flesh away from the body To curb the looming reveal But no length of exertion Forever holds the seal So let the mountains reach high Let the rivers run deep So that we'll never rest Not until we're asleep When the equation dissolves But until then we'll run O forgive me, I've glanced It is coming undone So let the mountains reach high Let the rivers run deep So that we'll never rest Not until we're asleep When the equation dissolves But until then we'll run O forgive me, I've glanced It is coming undone 08. 53:45 Distraction III The wailing winds have died away Surrendering myself to say That I see you now who lurks beyond You're not quite there, and yet you're never gone I see that you've come to stay I look away Still I dissolve into all 09. 59:32 Distraction Nulla [Instrumental] 10. 01:02:46 Everything In Its Right Place [Radiohead cover] Everything, everything, everything, everything.. In its right place In its right place In its right place In its right place Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon Everything, everything, everything.. In its right place In its right place In its right place Right place There are two colours in my head There are two colours in my head What, what is that you try to say? What, what was that you tried to say? Tried to say.. tried to say.. Tried to say.. tried to say.. tried to say... Everything, everything, everything.. Everything in its right place
