All gathered here Recant the night The mercy of shade Has no place in the fury of light I grant my will To these unquiet rites 'Neath lantern's eye I begin a study of illuminism as I take flight Solo: Carcarrion Drag me through the doors of perception Loosen the girders of my soul They yearn to disclose Whatever I'm not meant to know The...Learn More

One amid the roar We crowded stand before the doorway Beneath embattled feet Keys encoded in the motif Here to transform The surf-tormented shore of being Through ritual meditation; Masochistic recreation I've been here before Altered state-dependent recall Only know the movements In the moment when the speaker tolls A sleeper cell: Enraptured...Learn More
