Conducting the Scourge
Arcane Existence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bowing trees once full of lives past
A familiar scene of nature and centuries
Flashes of dreams of memories
Suffering is imminent
Conducting the scourge
Losing control
I must let goConducting the scourge
Losing control
I must let go
Rituals of existence, ancient gods scribe
Of this eternal dilemma
Battle the feeling, overcome mortal emotions
Listen to their voices, screams of knowledge
Within me the light to ignite the scourge
Within me the light to ignite the scourge
Holding the treasure of my quest
Peer within to find a burning emblem
Peer within to find a burning emblem
Holding the treasure of my quest
Meditation, Creation, Elation
Reveal the truth of this nightmare
End this pain in my soul
End this pain in my soul
Rid of this disease holding me by a string
Let it sing, release my sadness from above
Heaven's gate rest a monolithic stone of eternal rest
A magic of potential inquest
Eternal rest, End my quest
Forests possessed, Universe behest
Within you the light to ignite the scourge
Within you the light to ignite the scourge
Holding the treasure of my quest
Peer within to find a burning emblem
Holding the treasure of my quest
All or nothing on this bleak path
Winds of mountains pass
Caress the feeling I have lost
Caress the feeling I have lost
Conducting the scourge
Losing control
I must let go
Conducting the scourge
Losing control
I must let go
