lyrics

In the name of Desire
Go forth into
Each abyss that beckons
Like a siren
Like illusion
Mirages in a person

The god-shaped womb
A forlorn tomb
The grail you seek is empty
Just like you

Echoes grasping
At lost and wandering halves
Aura of ancestral past
Instinct guiding
Toward a frayed horizon
Where all weary souls can rest

In the name of Desire
Go forth, meet your doom
To the sirens
In delusion
Mirages that subsume

The god-shaped hole
The cursed poles
The peace you seek is fleeting
Just like that
Torn in half

At your birth, forced
Into searing light
Then you were torn in half
Then, through time,
Through each loss and divorce
Then too you were torn in half

Unto the end – lost and wandering halves
Unto within – warring, wounded halves
