lyrics

This path is littered by
Wraiths without sight
Shuffling through a doorway
Droning in a malaise
In gibberish they proclaim

“I can’t find my eyes
They flew away in that mirror”

This house is left to rot
Neglected of its wisdom
Pathos guards the entry
Purple lights imbue me
Whispers from the hearth say

“I can’t find my eyes
They flew away in that mirror”

Answers lie in harrowed minds
Buried in corpses weighed inside ego
Your fears shall
Be put to rest in the House of I’s cowl

Home layered in secrets is forcing my
Eyes unto all the sin
I can barely see my
Flesh inside these walls
What have I become?

An echo haunts through abandoned halls
She consecrates the enlightened souls
She drifts in silence into the sanctum’s polestar
She serves as guide to the House of I’s core

Home layered in secrets is forcing my
Eyes unto all the sin
I can barely see my
Flesh inside these walls
What have I become?

How was I wrong?
This wicked world birthed the outcome
In their false cradle’s grasp
I always felt alone
Pariah disowned

Blackened haze drifts from empty rooms
Clearing all the scapegoat’s severed heads
Leaving insight of the victims of my hand

Deaf to the saints
Their blessings lost in my descent
I can’t see, I can’t know
That the darkness is a golem
Of my own thumb

Shadows gorge from their crumbling thrones
My doppelganger feasts on haloed hearts
Each is branded with the echoes I have wrought

Beyond the chapters of your vice
A beacon burns bright for its chance to shine
Welcome home

Ghosts drift into a mirror made of teeth
Following their eyes to the pith of peace
They're coming home
Welcome home

Nest in a waiting light
In an attic of shrines
Hestia finds my hatching hope
Wrapped in a mirror's guise
Unravel my soul
Show me salvation’s sun
Unveil a sign

Mirror drops
My spirit flies
This introspection is the gate to I
Cracking the self's walls, now I see with true sight
That I’m the master of the midnight inside

Climbing to the light
I will find my eternity
Outside, I will find a life
Free from the pain

I will rise (x4)

Return from the House of I
Echo the eyes within
Send them to those without
