Coils 1: Void Of Muse

from Bound To The Depths by Tormentium

lyrics

This minds eye bears no glory
ages pass, the canvas is dry
the artist (in me) shall cease to be
in this empty room alone

beauty of this world is lost
destroyed by your smiling faces
light of the sky casts no color
worthy of my brilliant creation

my brush rots - my palette crumbles
with every waking hour I wait
another night - absent light - is this all I live for?

it calls to me when the moon is high
when the candlelight flickers and dies
its the vision that crept from the void
and found me beyond the walls of sleep
eyes darker than a watery grave
a grotesque monument of hate
indescribable fear escalates
slithering tentacles coil my brain

swirling black - skinless figures
visions toward the gateway of pain
infinite death - slumbering god
manifest the dark influence

inspiration takes hold deep in the soul
as the fire burns to a black coal
in the vision that crept from the void
I found meaning in mortal hands
strokes of color grace the canvas
furiously slashing their beautiful marks
a composition of ravenous haste
gravely depicting the doorway to death

oh my muse
The black fairy in my glass
inspire mystery I desire
my curious thirst I must quench

its your embrace i long to know


take my hand
show me what you see
portray your will
give purpose to me

i accept your gift, its all i have left
One last pigment, to complete your work
Our art shall be, just the beginning
yet palette lacks, for our final craft

the blade shall replace the brush
a pigment so pure, it must be mine
slice away this... layer of lies
transcend all worthless mortal existence

slicing...
ripping..
cutting...
creating our art...

my pain will become your paint
spilling forth for you my muse
sculpting a holy flesh tribute
my death, your masterpiece

about

Tormentium Eugene, Oregon

Tormentium was summoned from the eternal grey of the Cascadian Willamette Valley, in Autumn of 2004. It was created with the intent of expressing their darkest musical vision beyond reality. As a metal band with elements of black, death and thrash, Tormentium has always tried to break the bonds of genre specifications and cultivate an honest sound that is grandiose, eerie, and melodically brutal. ... more
