Polaris - The Descent Lyrics

Lyrics The Descent - Polaris



From the sky rained ash
Red hand and mouth of black
A voice that echoes from the deep
I woke up to silence, in medicated air
I breathed in intoxicating essence
Disinfected clinical scents
That cling to me like bleach (Cling to me like bleach)
White walls, white tiles and white sheets
And all the looming faces
I saw the angel's horns
I saw the devil's wings
One beckons to the light
While the other calls me down
(Calls me down)
There are answers
Waiting for you underground
Down, follow me down
There is quiet, there is peace to be found
Malicious master of my destiny
What is it that you want from me?
What is it that you seek? (What do you seek?)
And while the scavengers surround
I block my ears to stifle out
The siren's call as it beckons me
As the flowers bloom from the snow
I have waited a long time to grow
You'll never know what I kept inside
To be still here somehow alive
Despite my best attempts to leave
To leave it all behind
Leave me breathless
I long to believe that there was virtue here
In the heart I hid from them
(I can't pretend)
I can't pretend I haven't dreamt of you
(The shadow in)
The shadow in the cemetery
I know the grip, I shook your hand
Too young to ever comprehend
To leave this world with you, familiar friend
Would be such a perfect end
When time stands still, and your hands can't feel
When the storm won't pass, and you taste only ash
When the days draw on
And the nights grow long, is it so absurd to ask
Malicious master of my destiny
What is it that you want from me?
What is it that you seek? (What do you seek?)
And while the scavengers surround
I listen closely for the sound
That echoes from the deep
Slow descent, no light to be found
Sin has clothed me in its shroud
And in my ears he calls me down
End the suffering, lay your burden down
Follow me down
There are answers waiting for you underground
