Ark of the Undecipherable Lyrics

Eyes locked in, mesmerized,
peering through immeasurable mist.
Swirling projection from a foreign tomb.
The ark of the indecipherable.

Addressed by the ethereals.
Squelch of dissolved tongues.
They talk to someone else,
you want to understand.
Beyond the distance of years
now none of them exist.
Still their flesh lingers here
unable to escape.

From their flesh you were born.
Their voice resonates within.
Eras of anxious searching yielding nothing
that they could ever pass on.

Revered traditions, hallowed beauty...
Subservient to their preservation.
All shredded to complete irrelevance.
Meaningless, nonsensical, as it always was.

For their short breath of light in darkness
construct their monument, will made manifest.
All the answers to all questions
found in their graves, not their epitaphs.

Pulsing in your veins,
records of the mythic phantoms.
