Lyrics
The Head Of The Hydra
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Language - self-destruction
Against the iron air
In broken, non-verbal strains
An all-devouring sand
The phantasm
We invoke
A monument
A final stand
We disappear
The words from our bodies torn
Irresistible
In all its bewildering forms
Deceptive - the images burn
Fragments of silent lives
Hunger of the dreaming dead
Imagination - the death of man
The phantasm
We invoke
A monument
A final stand
In blasphemy
The words from our bodies torn
Temptation
Death in all its bewildering forms
The tomb is the passage
As the light flickers before me
The head of the hydra
The charlatan denounced
We disappear
The words from our bodies torn
Irresistible
In all its bewildering forms
