Vertigo

Vertigo

I have lived the illusion of wisdom and tasted the joys

of love

I have sailed seas of hedonism and travelled the path

of mystic rites

Ride with me and learn the songs of the nameless Shaman

An Aenead through the dawn of the golden sun

[chorus:]

A celebration of existence,

The guiding light,

Vertigoes of tomorrow,

Embrace the molten night.

Drink the sweet splendour

The wine of youth

Vertigoes of yesterday

Lie to the truth

Saddened by tides of the sanctified pain

I lick the wounds of my crucified past

Shed the skin of your forgotten self

Join me, worship, the verbose deity

Repeat chorus.

Rubicons of rage holler inside me

Shades of grey laughter kiss the tears of my eyes

Stone faces in unseen places, whisper desert chants

On the serpent's wing I write songs of desire

Brazen fires quiescent in silence (2x)

The wombs of remembrance wither in flames

Moons of sorrow eclipsed by moments of mirth

Swallowed in darkness, clouded by the cleansing opiate

I feel the wonder, the maze of happiness

Brazen fires quiescent in silence (2x)

As I fly through the cavalcades of null emotion

Beneath this dream lies the emptiness of reality

[solo:Dan]

As I fly through the cavalcades of null emotion

Beneath this dream lies the emptiness of reality
