Lyrics Toward the Devouring Light - Khonsu

Toward the Devouring Light

I walk where there is no path
But where I tread I leave a trail
Finally my eyes can focus
I’ve peeked behind the system veil
I and my will to voyage
Ahead of this time and place
Until the day
When the path proceeds on it’s way
Draconian efforts to increase in progression
What we sow is infinite regression
Let the evidence speak
We are marginal in this design
I will name this place
It is the city that swallowed the light
I will name this place
I was the one that brought home the night
I’m bringing fire to the furnace
My quest is one that cannot fail
The sun inexorably shines
But my skin has a sickly shade of pale
I know a disloyal servant
Never a master could make
But who took a bite from the apple
And who hid in the skin of a snake
And when the light of ubiquity fade
Like waterfalls growing shadows cascade
I was the torchbearer
That brought home the night
To the city that swallowed the light
I will name this place
It is the city that swallowed the light
I will name this place
I was the one that brought home the night
The end had to come
And somehow you’ve always known
That our days were few
And that it would all come true
