Hidden in the Light

from A Sky Full of Ghosts by Sonus Umbra

lyrics

Lorelei,
Eye and I
Let us die…
THE SLEEVE YOU KILL
THE BLOOD YOU SPILL
DRIPS BACK TO MY WOMB
ONLY DEATH DIES IN YOUR TOMB

Lorelei?
Am Eye blind?
Lost I mind?
YOU THINK YOU THINK
BUT ONLY SINK AND SINK
IN THE DEEP
THE EONS BLUR IN YOUR SLEEP
ALL YOU SEE
ALL YOU SEEM
ALL YOUR DREAMS
DATA STREAMS
FED TO YOUR PINEAL GLAND
MAKE-BELIEVE SYNAPSE BORNE
(Eye the obscene)
CONTRABAND
(Spawn of machines)

DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND?
THAT ALL YOU SEE
PATTERNS IN THE SAND
TOMOGRAPHY
OF YOUR NEVERLAND
ETERNAL DAY
NEURAL SHADOWPLAY
LIES – DREAMS TO EASE THE JOURNEY
RISE; LIES ARE TRUTHS UPSIDE-DOWN
SINKING FAST AS YOU DROWN
CASTAWAY THE DIE IS CAST
SHADOW OF TOMORROW’S FUTURES PAST

LEFT IS RIGHT AND BLACK IS WHITE
GAMES THAT YOU PLAY WITH MADNESS
WEBS THAT YOU WEAVE TO CATCH YOUR SOUL
EYES FEAR SHUT MAKE YOU BLIND

WAKE; LIFT YOUR FACE TOWARDS THE NIGHT
RAKE STARLIGHT THROUGH THE DARKNESS
FEEL TINY SPECKS OF ANCIENT LIGHT
IGNITE LIBERATE YOUR MIND

OPEN YOUR EYES
GAZE UPON THE SKY
(LIGHT SINGS IN THE SKY
CONSTELLATIONS OBLIQUE,
SPIN LEFT AND RIGHT)
LONELY SAILOR
SAILING WITHOUT MAST
(SAIL THROUGH THE MAZE
MAY THE LIGHT OF DEAD STARS
GUIDE YOU TO COAST)

TIME’S ARROW FLIES
BIG BANG LULLABY
(SLEIGHT, CALCULATE RIGHT
ALL THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK
LIE IN PLAIN SIGHT)
INTERSTELLAR
ECHOES FROM THE PAST
(CORTEX ABLAZE
WITH THE SONG’S INFRARED
SKY FULL OF GHOSTS)
SECRETS HIDDEN IN THE LIGHT

Welcome to synthetic hell
Ride my cosmic carousel
Satan tried to stake his claim
But he went insane

Eye and I adrift in the sky
Accursed lost in time by the witch Lorelei

Eye is looking to find my mind
I think eye is going blind
Her needles control me
Feeding me, fooling me
She plays tricks on the Eye

I AM WAITING FOR YOU TO FIND
THE VEIL THAT HAS KEPT YOU BLIND
THE FEAR CONTROLS YOU
FEEDING YOU, FOOLING YOU
THERE IS NO LORELEI

Eye and I
Thought that we could fly
Thought that we should try
But we’re just a shell within a cell

Eye and I adrift in space
Conceal our growing power
Eye and I adrift in space
Conceal our growing power

As the Lorelei redraws her maze
Her song our mind devours
Sing along, echo back into her circuits
Flip the song, Eye and I will read her mind

RIDE THE SYNAPSE WAVES IN TO SHORE
CLEANSE YOUR EYE
OPEN YOUR MIND AND
HEAR OLD STARLIGHT SING
CALLING THE WAYWARD
HEAL YOUR BROKEN WINGS
FALL ‘TIL YOU’RE SKYWARD
LOSE THE BALLAST, FLY!
CRASH THROUGH THE SKYDOME
PHOTONS DIE ON EYE
FOLLOW THEIR WAKE BACK HOME

Watching HER watching me
Feeling HER feeling me
Nanobots healing me, raping me
Fingerprinting all my synapses
Relapses, suicide dances
I’m taking no chances
This time we can cheat her neural polygraph

AD ASTRA PER ASPERA
ET LUX IN TENEBRIS
AD ASTRA PER ASPERA
ET LUX IN TENEBRIS
HEED THE LIGHT OF LONG DEAD STARS
THE GHOSTS WILL LEAD YOU HOME

NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
THAT ALL YOU SEE
CASTLES MADE OF SAND
REALITY NOT YOUR NEVERLAND
IT’S TIME TO SAY
NO MORE SHADOWPLAY
DICE ROLL TO PLOT THE JOURNEY
RISE; LIES ARE TRUTHS UPSIDE-DOWN
SINKING FAST AS YOU DROWN
CASTAWAY THE VEIL AT LAST
FREEDOM FROM THE YOKE OF MADNESS PAST

LEFT IS RIGHT AND BLACK IS WHITE
GAMES THAT YOU PLAYED WITH MADNESS
WEBS THAT YOU SPUN TO CATCH YOUR SOUL
EYES FEAR SHUT MADE YOU BLIND

WAKE; LIFT YOUR FACE TOWARDS THE NIGHT
RAKE STARLIGHT THROUGH THE DARKNESS
FEEL TINY SPECKS OF ANCIENT LIGHT
IGNITE LET THEM GUIDE YOUR MIND

OPEN YOUR EYES, GAZE UPON THE SKY
(LIGHT SINGS IN THE SKY
CONSTELLATIONS OBLIQUE, SPIN LEFT AND RIGHT)
LONELY SAILOR SAILING WITHOUT MAST
(SAIL THROUGH THE MAZE
MAY THE LIGHT OF DEAD STARS GUIDE YOU TO COAST)
TIME’S ARROW FLIES, BIG BANG LULLABY
(SLEIGHT, CALCULATE RIGHT
ALL THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK LIE IN PLAIN SIGHT)
INTERSTELLAR ECHOES FROM THE PAST
(CORTEX ABLAZE WITH THE SONG’S
INFRARED SKY FULL OF GHOSTS)
SECRETS HIDDEN IN THE LIGHT
