lyrics

Altar of the Skull
--

In a landscape in a place unknown to us all
Beyond doorways to the void, unconscious travel
I plummet like a shooting star, wakened as I fall
And plunge into the heart of a riddle to unravel

Psychologic struggle, psychopathic war
Night without end, a fear that I must face
Trepanator chisel into my skull I bore
Searching what awaits me, release or disgrace

On the altar of the skull burns the fire of sacrifice
Power of my will as the gods roll the dice

If every man's indeed a star let me burn the night away
Kindled by the fury of a just man led astray
Degenerate, now an incubus, tempted by a snake
Once dormant now awake, untethered to the stake

Psychologic surge, I retaliate
Dark might I wield, a fire burns strong
State of true aggression beyond love and hate
Doubtful what is right, subjective what is wrong

On the altar of the skull I'm sacrificed unto my mind
I'll leave myself behind and follow on, no longer blind

Energy that slithers up my spinal cord
Had! Aiwass dictates as he holds Damocles' sword
Opening the pages of the wrathful book of the Lord

Cardinal points greeted clockwise, the circle is complete
Summoning my inner powers, a task that's no mean feat
Facing inner struggles and demons that I meet

On the altar of the skull burns the fire of sacrifice
Power of my will as the gods roll the dice
On the altar of the skull I'm sacrificed unto my mind
I'll leave myself behind and follow on, no longer blind
