Epica – A Tribute to a Night

Within my sanctorum, confined in a celestial expansion of my mind
Arising from the sanctuary—sanctorum beyond the view of anyone
Therein my immortal coil; my soul that can’t be fathomed
Through incarnation my spirit becomes mortal man entwined with life
Deep in the depths of these celestial designs shaped the very world.
Burning with afflictions of silence, deafening the very essence of me
Upon a strange world, upon this epic earth of wondrous beauty,
Gazing upwards suppressed by transforming; alas deprived of breathe
Storms ravish my body in these moments of unrest
But suspended in time; further course becomes unknown,
Craving a performance—incantations that soothe the very core of me
Through stalking shadows, feeding on spectrum's of light
While gnawing at the night; ensnares the hour with a tribute.

Thus, deduction of unconscious thoughts becomes mere seductions,
Pouring within a dreamer’s heart; desires behold, held with my soul
Forming shadows of delinquent—condemned strangers sulking
For eternity I vanquish the entire world into peace.
No more wandering in this chaos outside that chills my internal core,
Forces beckon—alas driven into animation into some ancient temple
Beyond our world into a cosmic arena shatters the very core of me
As my conscious mind; through orbs of some departed matter
Therein lost in a crowed of embodied shadows stalking the stage
For a moment, lifeline crashes when your voice shatters the shadows
Your presence—shown in the moving spectrum's of light
Like a fire spreading outwards and taking the cold world away.

Now revived thus my heart set free into another plain of reality
So hypnotized; my soul released into the night
Upon twilight—lost in the entombed sounds for eternity
Through words written to appease the evolving mind
As your presence alone radiates into my aching breast
The rhythms arouse; magnitude of lust through these moments
Prevailing embracing elements of life within this strange arena
Into a celestial dream, escaping into a world beyond
Some voice begins to whisper in these confines of darkness
Inhabiting our minds with zeal and casting thunder into my heart
So the blazing sun ensnares my body giving way to light and beauty
So a sublime light erupts, wheeling forces beyond control
Stunning array; an angel before me I kneel in trepidation,
Your voice claims my mind until subjected into a dream-scape
For my vitality lapses briefly in surrender of the music
Do ravish my heart with such desire within these operatic sounds
Through a cortex of sound emanating, enchanting causing serenity
Until finally the encore ensnares me back into my sanctorum.
Now as before you become a memory in my celestial soul.
