Cycles Of Suffering

from Apotheosis by Iconoclast

/

lyrics

Now that I have been deprived of heaven
In fire I cleanse, in earth I am reborn
For I need to unveil the secrets of the seven
As I descended from the solar temples

But how could I awaken from this conscious sleep?
As consciousness was vanished from my ethereal being
Restrained by flesh to experience an eternal grief

Forlorn I am in the scourge of existence
An empty reflection in the mirrors of death

Incarcerated by the body itself
A perennial war against the "I"
The multi-existence, the distortion of time
The essence of what this contradiction implies

Set to live in a world of thoughts
Inside the sphere of uncertainty
The burden of anguish I have to resist
Inside this vacuum, do I really exist?

Set to perform in a theatre of pain
Inside an illusion called reality
Could I be by my own senses deceived?
Is life itself nothing but a dream?

A witness of the great spectacle of misery
The imprisonment of the whole humanity

As within, so without
An internal star, chaos bestowed
Withered are the secrets
Can truth be found on earth?
The desires of the flesh
Will burn into the flames of death

Symbols carved in stone as truth lies above
Are they hidden from us? Or am I hiding from truth?
Formless thoughts that can transcend the dimensions of time
Will my consciousness survive after my bodily demise?
