Lyrics Tracing the Path of Blood - Ephel Duath

Tracing the Path of Blood

I dig the soil with my bare hands
I open circular wounds
Craters of worms and broken nails
I dig off those marble columns
Extensions of my roots
Will fit in there
I look them deep down
Till I feel them pulsing within
From each crack that opens up
Warm dark blood rivers out
I get my chest soaked in
Summoning rebirth
I chain myself to this primordial mud
My fingers like tentacles
Spread to the light above
Eyes are sealed
In beloved silence my mind wonders
Dragging lies and slimy shadows with each step
When the core is reached
The bleeding stops
I now stand still like a centenary tree
Burnt inside
Burning all that lies around
And when daily demons finally shrink in
A vortex of gold leaves erupts in return
I inhale dozens of them
Choking from this grace
I puke black bile
Drawing mandalas in the thick air
My eyes take fire
Neck cracks back
Forcing my face to the clouds
It rains
My orbits are now steaming holes
Getting slowly filled with peace
Layers and layers of shining waves
Find their way to my heart
Ice meeting fire lights up the mind
Till blackness is put at ease
And when distortion fades
Flames get rest
Tracing the path of blood
I align a step after another
And I’ll keep the rhythm till the source is reached
My inside is out
Floating
The outside is in
Digging
Tuned with soil and clouds
I’m one with myself again
