Neurosis (USA) : Official Bootleg 01 (Lyon, France, 11.02.1999)

Lyrics


1. THE DOORWAY

To burrow my way through death and flesh
All beasts I let out ú ill buried untold
To lock my cage ú unleash the fallen
Fear eyes contain light in my soul

Feral snakes collide burn in my skull
Freeing the circles ú that night I saw a burial train
All thieves I bludgeon
From ice I burn breathe astral plane

Grayed eye enclosed ú seer east is gone
From now on, farther on

I'm nailed to the crossroads searching for the piece of me
That wasn't mine, blood dripping from my hands
My end has seen the figure of my lightkeeper
Standing in the doorway


2. LOST

My eyes were jades, so close to the centre I could not see
But now they are fixed and glaring at the sacrifice to be made
Now that I'm aware of the cycles I pray that I can deal
Now that I have shown you these cycles I pray that you can feel

In and out of the stray
Taking the bait
Feeling compelled to obey, betray
The isle of await

Running scared from their thought
Thinking I can summon some ancient truth before wrong
Seeking my nature, our nature with fear of being caught
Or have we been like this all along

The dawn of birth gives way to men
Age brings dimness to sight as it must
Death seals the eyelids on darkness once again
Augmentation of the dust


3. AN OFFERING

These are offerings forgiven to the eye of spirit and law
Intrinsic fire witnessed the time of iron
Reflections of the snake
Reflections of the tree

Chaos fills our landing, the wizard points to the one
The cup is poisoned, the crime has risen
The ship carries us to the crimson soul
In our yard we found some bones
The child is whole
Inside are pictures of the future war
Outside

In tide I came to feel your heart
And rise to believe our need to know
In time I gave to instill our world
To receive our...


4. AWAY

Cease this long, long rest
Wake and risk a foul weakness to live
When it all comes down
Watch the smoke and bury the past again
Sit and think what will come
Raise your fears and cast them all away


5. LOCUST STAR

Rise - shining blank
Scars burn way down
It parts ways of the
Serpent view - cast
Stones where to stop
Calling you - they all
Lower me to the ground
Stick him - they all
Lower me to the soil
Stick him

Star - reign down
On you

You'll starve
Bright star in the
Dripping sun
Writhe on - saints
Steal from your actions
Step in right on it's
Function - stick him

Star - reign down
On you

You all lower me
Christ's shine blinds
Your world
Your belief is scars

The will to power
Ascension manifest
That which is above
Is as that which is below
Thy will be done
Thy kingdom come
On earth as it is in heaven
So mote it be


6. TIMES OF GRACE

The presence unfound comes to me now
Endure, see this knowledge denied out of mind
To deny ú until I say ú feed us alive
Sight as I speak ú inside us born
Cherished and driven

The secrets of stars hide within the grey
This grey will fade, so will the stars cease to shine
Fear realized ú come as shape ú feed desolate

Cull the snake, cull path to god
Make us see, wrath to survive
Darkness looms, the moons have stricken
Showing all, constant revision

All structures collapse, mysteries unfold
Borne from the skies in these times of grace

Prey device ú immersion ú feed us alive
Sight as I speak ú inside us born
Cherished and driven
