[Lyric] The Arrows of Our Ways (Izthmi)

The stakes that lie before the grave
Tie our hands behind
The flaking truths of man
And as we watch our roots decay
Sitting idly by
We fail to understand

How to fill the hole
And embrace the heart
To shed the weight of autophagy
Yet with a one-dimensional wisdom
We’d rebuke an infinite glory
Shrouding the light that’s faired all time

Below the shelter
And above the heights
Of man’s guilded reach
We find a world disconnected

We’ve sown our seed in the spine of the earth
In an attempt to forge our own lines
Yet we’re treading past the point of return
Forming the unseen void
As the arrows of our ways sink beneath the skin
The blood of our victims we find akin
To ours to ours to our own

Then the blood flows
And we see ourselves for the first time
Why does the blood have to flow?
And stain the soul of the sum

We must abstain from the instigation
Before the air all life breathes
Is gone

To own
The world
Yet close
The door

We’ve sown our seed in the spine of the earth
Now we must erase the bold lines
In only peace may we return
To a world so warm

When love is the truth, it’s our light
The glowing gateway to the divine
