lyrics
I had a fleeting vision of the journey, deep down into the canyon of old dreams. Took the outstretched hand of the ferryman, his features obscured. Down and out we set, and then he turned to me.
He said, “watch the waters”, and I looked, saw the rapids become as blood.
He’d spun tales of this place, this river ophidian, the sun setting in my eyes, whispered darkly a poem into my mind.
The winding ephemeral, the contours of fate. Beneath the undertow, lurk the lost. Deep against the gore - we drove. Deeper down into the blackened stream.
"Watch the skies," he said, and I saw the clouds angry red. The lightning scorched the heavens, of scorn and of rue. And the flesh closed in. The stream grew narrow. The whispers made screams, their hex made patent.
Into the end we flowed, and I saw the annex of my life. Saw the binds of my nerves. Saw the blood drying. Saw the clouds parting. The world slowly turning, to nothing…
Like the leaf falling, quietus follows.
"Watch the walls," he said, the rock become as flesh. Raw of marrow, pulsing, the blood flowed against us. In the faint red, the light went, and then the dreadful fog beset. He spoke of your future. The damned voices caressed the wind.
Dementia setting in. The passing, final. The legacy, voided. There is a core of you, just as there is of me, that cannot be touched, cannot be known. To know that core is the desire. It is one that I know. And within that core is a deep, mournful black bile.
I will give the things I crave. My hands and my head are yours. Partake of this submission. Indulge in your sorrows. I draw strength from your anguish. Reach for the centre. The point of zero. Of a mass infinite.
Breathe in. Find your comfort in me. Face the world with the strength of yourself. From the point of zero.
"This is you," he said, "and all you have known." To the nothingness, he faded. To the river ophidian.
His features revealed, as he vanished from time. I saw at the helm, the driver was me…
