Thanatos Beacon Lyrics

There is this hunger, this famine
for you flesh and your blood
for the world torn asunder
and the utter deconstruction
Into the pieces and fragments
of its living and pulsating core
so it may rust in you sight
drag them all into thy light
And scatter the fragments
upon the ruins and corpses
There is this need, this craving
to follow the spiral
that dark and silent noise
of the perpetual driller
That dips itself into the mud
of this structure of fear
Digging and diving
making straight the paths of the Lord

To fall beneath the known
To hear the soundless voice
That beckons far beyond
the reasons of the world
In the desert of silence and cold
of the absence of motion and will
Stands a tower, a beacon
To light the path of solitude


This hunger, this holy strife
For your bread and your wine
For a blessing that shatters
Leaving the world in utter silence
And in graves and tombs
Of this wet and cold earth
so it may decay in your embrace
cutting all before it sprouts

Tongues of fire
erode the slumber

To walk under the light
That shines from the source unknown
On this road sown with thorns
Following the nameless call

From the shreds and ruins
Of the world set ablaze
The Silence beckons demanding:
(make) straight the paths of the Lord
