Between Soil and Sun Songtext
von Burial Path

I awakened buried in aeons of dust,
My veins crawl with the silence of dead stars,
Roots coil like serpents through marrow and mind,
Whispering hymns of the void enticed me to the undefined.

A cold chill writhes as I step forward,
My silhouette′s left chained to the altar,

Between soil and sun I wither,
A trembling pulse beneath infinite eyes,
Crushed beneath the tongue of eternity,
I scream to the cosmos,
A macrocosm unstirred,
I'm spiraling down to the everglow,
The sky is closing in again.

Zealots of the infinite,
Weaving blessings into the fabric of,
Every breath, a prayer devoured,
An offering to the abyss.


The acolytes recite,
A wretched diatribe,
They describe a figure of divine′s maligned atrophy.

Galaxies convulse in their endless hunger,
The black sun bleeds in oceans of ash and ember,
I reach (I reach), but my hands dissolve in the aether,
My shadows gnawed upon by the nameless gods.

They're cloaked in the ichor of oeuvre,
A pantheon revived.

Between soil and sun I wither,
A trembling pulse beneath infinite eyes,
Crushed beneath the tongue of eternity,
I scream to the cosmos,
A macrocosm unstirred,
I'm spiraling down to the everglow,
The sky is closing in again.


Between soil and sun I fracture,
Neither born nor forgotten,
I′m only dreaming,
The stars above are teeth sinking in me,
The earth so far below,
A decaying rotten remnant,
And yet it′s my home,
Hallowed priory,
A final resting place befit for me.

And as my final plea,
To the gods who left me rotten,
Please
Don't renounce my sacrifice.
