Exile Lyrics by Discernment

2024

Moss covers the doors
As the titan breaks his slumber
Fog pervades the shores

Confounded men shall fight their instinct
To find themselves
To find that
Everything you learn is a new step towards the abyss

Open wide the gate
And my work will be completed
Exhibit my fate
Close to virtue, yet so far away

Holding my breath
Up until time stops moving
Finally sliding into
My underwater heaven
Bathing my hope in shades of grey

In the bowels of hell
Mild reflection in the waters
But it's not myself
Although I see nothing but my angst
My martyrdrom
My torment

Open my lungs
Cancel my world, ischemia
Make me feel safe with your caress
Breathing again
Cold thoughts are finally ceasing
Falling into unconsciousness

I see my demise and into its clutches
I let myself fall again
And there's violence in its beauty
And mercy in its terror
A welcoming dread, a solemn lament

An atonement for haughtiness
This exile sanctifies my sentence
Longing for a respite
I lie awake

On that freezing day my walk
Was stopped by an helmsman
His arrival at the shore
Took me by surprise
For the rate was surely fair
But wasn't expected
I had nothing in my hands
Therefore I declined

Through the frosty wind a voice
Reverbed from his vessel
"That is just what you deserve
You didn't fear God!"
I replied with disdain:
"If your god was real
He would want more than our tears
Upon the gravestone"

I was given freedom and calm
Mercy, protection
Brilliance and opulence
But still, discontented with your silence
I decided it wasn't enough
So I, locked up behind the grid
Craved what you forbid
And gave up my life to seek knowledge
Until, devoid of my zeal
Without and within
I fell under the consequences

Salvation for none
Who blamed the architect
For the flaws of its creation
Salvation for none
None of you
None of you

I see my demise and into its clutches
I let myself fall again
And there's violence in its beauty
And mercy in its terror
A welcoming dread, a solemn lament

Torn, exhausted, my search continues
And I wonder how long has been
And when the last man exhales his last breath
Mankind will be over, but not my distress

(There's no cleansing behind the curtain
Don't seek happiness, come away)

There's no cleansing behind the curtain
Don't seek happiness, come away
There's no cleansing behind the curtain
Make a bow fading in decay
Decay
