Lyrics Pimander - Portraits

Pimander

Bind my corporeal senses
The dark shows Pimander
Glowing lumen is nothing
Sinking a fiery breath
Breath
Father of philosophy
Born into a line of magi
Daughter of obscurity descend
Curious of cacophony
Teach us of the mind’s ascent
Now we live how our harmony intends
Stripped of all geometry
Denuded of all imprinting
Mortal nature left behind, condemned
Bring to us our odyssey
Teach us of the soul’s ascent
Now we live how the prophecy intends
Stripped of all ferocity
Denuded of all imprinting
Ready now to join and comprehend
Far from invention
Lost of ascension
And we stave off
And we’re lost when falling down
Far from invention
Father of philosophy
Came to me as Mercurius
Scholar teaching purity repent
Curious of cacophony
Revealing the mind’s ascent
Now we must live how harmony intends
Stripped of all security
Denuded of all imprinting
Mortal nature left behind condemned
Bring to us our odyssey
Teach us of the soul’s ascent
Now we live how the prophecy intends
Stripped of all pathology
Denuded of all imprinting
Ready now transfigure, comprehend
Far from invention
Lost of ascension
And we stave off
And we’re lost when falling down
Far from invention
Devastation sure to follow
Fall
Enemies fill hearts with sorrow
Downfall
Devastation sure to follow
Fall
Burning embers left to burn it
Fall
Can we be safe from this path
Bring us all back to the start
Can we escape this advance
Follow the ancient one’s path
Bring this all back to the start
Will we escape this advance
No
No
Cross
What we have lost
Fight
The path we cross
Cross
What we have lost
Fight
The path we cross
Cross
What we have lost
Fight
The path we cross
Cross
What we have lost
Fight
The path we cross
Bring this all back to the start
Follow the ancient one’s path
Show us the path we have lost
Follow the ancient one’s path!
Will we escape its collapse?
Will we escape?
