To thirst for the infinite
Only proves infinity.
As I try to fight this feeling
I know all things must end

I dream of the Serpent
That I've slain the Mighty Lion,
Solved the Mystery
of all mysteries
Just to set this world on fire

What occurs above
so reflects below
Knuckle under thumb
Hand across your throat

I dreamt an angel sounded his trumpet
A great star, blazing like a torch
fell from the sky to poison the water.
And its name is Wormwood.
And the waters turned to bitter,
People dying from the thirst
I sat in judgment Heart unmoving
Sipping bitters of wormwood
Wormwood ×3

Sit and watch as the world burns
Seas are boiling as they churn
Like the bile deep inside
Ashes falling before my eyes
In the streets people cry
On their knees looking to the sky
All around their churches burning
Wormwood set their world afire
 
Am I awake
or really dreaming
Am I alive
Or Am I deceased
Have I succomed
To this believing
That all beginnings
Must have  an end
Am I here now
In this void
Or home safe
Asleep in bed
This nightmare
Feels so real
Exhaustion
Fogging up my head
All this suffering
Pain and Gore
As five points
Become one
I stand now
On the shore
A sea of madness
I've come undone
I've come undone
I've come undone
I've come undone

Awaken in the dark
Struggling to breath
Heart racing
Thumping pulse
Terrible thoughts
And lack of sleep
Blinded by dark
You control your panic
As you gain your faculties
You hear your own voice whispering

You are not alone.
