Arise! Lyrics by Ditch Mimes

Arise!

2018

Arise! Awake
Lurking in the hall, I in darkness seeking
To wrestle with the dread of death
I in black moods reeking
Drink the sanguine chalice of self-sacrifice
To extinguish all light and hope to see the morn
Arise
From darkened sepulchers
Infernal depths where ancients lie
I cry, exalting inly
"For thine, immoral one
The vapors round the dim firs curled
And day melts into gloom
The gale brings forth no sigh
For thee but trembles at thy name!"
Arise! And grieve gladdened eyes
Who see thou return with creeping
Things that revel in thy spoil
We Stride blind
The wheel is loose, the ship is lost
Waves crash among God’s human hosts
Raise the chalice — it is filled with brine
Sailors sing hymns to night
And breathe eternal air
The salty scent of human despair
Lose hold of the book within the sea
My words [Identity] will be washed away
My heart does not burn in flame
You know me by the books I read
I have no face — Eaten away
Hands — eaten away
Half perceive and half create
I rot in warm sand
What must I do?
What have I done?
Seagulls scream
O-BLI-VI-ON
It’s cold on bare hillside
North wind cuts through to bone
Inexorable — Unnamable — Unquenchable
And all within the hall were left alone
I in darkness seeking
To wrestle with the dread of death
I in black moods reeking
Drink the sanguine chalice of self-sacrifice
To extinguish all light
And hope to see the morn
Each pulse beats quicker
And a quenched existence
Crouches in the grave
Arise! Awake
Incubus feasts on rotting flesh
While guilty crackle in fire
Power hungry jackals rape the land
Stage explodes, bodies lie in pools of blood
My jaw detaches from my skull
I hold handfuls of my own teeth
Wrath and scorn poured down from the flames
Flesh sacrament from the black abyss
Arise! Awake! Arise
(After Byron's Lara)
