Caelian Ghost Lyrics


This world is made for solid stones

Their boiling quarries, their sea of takers

There’s nothing I can give

Just air

When I pour out myself I pray

Another vessel to take

Those drops of my essence and

Resound them

I have no shape, I don’t belong here

Amid subduers and their heirs

Detached and distant

Water bearer

This is not my home - can’t find myself in you!

I merge into the ether… to carry water

You don’t understand me

Never deserved my breeze

Can’t tame this wind, I’ll slip

Through your fingers

My cradle’s the sky, the eleventh house

I harvest the oceans

My impatience

Will drift all away

Waves rising

Higher and higher!

To sunk your steady realm

In the whirlpool of great sorrow!

This is not my home - I can’t find myself in you!

I merge into the ether… to carry water

Through madness! (And sadness, and weakness)

This madness!... (And hatred ‘cause nothing is sacred)

You can never change my form (I hide my face, I hide my soul)

I won’t bow! No, no! (I don’t want to hear a word you say!)

Come hither, sky splitter

Carry the weight and crack the earth with it

Walk like a god amongst the men!

I’m the cupbearer of the vision’s tincture

Wherever future’s running is where you will find me.

You think you can see through the weightless air (You think you can see)

To unmask me, but I was never there (And unmask me)

I'm nothing but a cloud over the coast (I’m nothing but free)

So volatile, a gale, a wraith, a ghost (As I’m destined to be)

(I’m the cupbearer of the vision’s tincture)

Cosmic wanderer

(Wherever future’s running is where you will find me)

A cold illusion

(I’m the cupbearer of the vision’s tincture)

Drifting asunder

(Wherever future’s running)

To sink in the sky

This is not my home - can’t find myself in you!

I merge into the ether… to carry water
