Purgatory
Above Below Lyrics

The devils dance with me as I descend
As I journey downward, the demons keep me company in a macabre dance.

Such beauty smothers me; Euphoric dissonance
The loveliness of the underworld is overwhelming, a mix of ecstasy and discord.

Unmask the beauty in the abyss
Reveal the splendor lurking in the depths of the underworld.

Where the ones with no eyes, sing elegies at my feet
In this dark place, the sightless ones pay tribute to me in song.

I dared to fix my eyes upon the light
I took a risk in staring at the light, knowing it could have dire consequences.

I stared so deep my vision was consumed
My gaze was so intense that it absorbed all that was in my field of view.

And as I observed what it held in its depths
As I examined the light's contents, I discovered something exciting.

The dreams i had lost
The aspirations I thought had perished

Began to bloom...
Since then, started growing again and blossoming into reality.

Its creation, omniscient
The light is cosmic and all-knowing in its origins.

Such as the scattered leaves of time
It is like the fragments of history strewn throughout the ages.

Its elegance fused in such a way
It's refined in a way that's unique to it.

That what i now describe
What I'm trying to put into words

Is but a glimmer of that light
Is an incomplete reflection of its brilliance and wonder.

My thoughts, like black smoke, arose from my skull
My ideas came forth like dark fumes from my mind.

And shattered the sky that once shone above
These concepts broke and dispersed the sky that was once beautiful.

A broken symphony calls to me from the flames
The jumbled harmony of the inferno beckons me.

A haunting orchestra caressing the dreams i crave
A sinister group of musicians who are feeding my desires.

When I got lost in depths
During my journey into darkness

Their minds got lost in the flood
Others became lost in the turmoil of their thoughts.

I yearn for what they fear for, what they fear for
I long for the same things that frighten them.

Purgatory my love, take my soul and set it free
Oh, Purgatory, my dear, release my soul from this suffering.

It was only in the nocturne, that she came to me
She appeared to me only under the cover of night.

A constricted figment of my discoveries
A compressed manifestation of what I uncovered.

A solemn guide that knew me better than I
A serious advisor who understood me better than I did.

Who let me out of this pathetic lullaby
She freed me from this weak and monotonous state.

Purgatory′s calling out to me
Purgatory is summoning me to it.

When I got lost in the depths, their minds lost in the flood
When I was lost in darkness, their thoughts were consumed by chaos.

Devil!
Demon!

Show me the light...
Reveal the elusive illumination...

Can you show me the light?
Do you have the ability to display the light to me?

Let me indulge in the blight...
Allow me to experience the bane...
