Of Hermit and the Absence of Light Lyrics


It all went south again

But this time it's for real

You're heading north

The instructions are unclear

And who's desperate now?

An actor with no audience

A ticking bomb

Accident waiting to happen

Thriving on solitude

Is this your plan?

Been gazing into the abyss

Still you can not invert thine

Inverted faith

Did you come here to heal your wounds?

To seek illumination?

What you found was hollowness

Slow self-immolation

You built yourself a shrine

In complete isolation

Hermit or a misanthrope?

Thy new obsession

Lot of time on your hands

But no one to learn from

Horror vacui

Can you still trust your instincts?

Don't lose yourself in this

The pursuit of nothing

Abandon this illusion

Before the madness closes in

The madness is closing in
