Irkalla: To Enter the Great Above and the Depths Below Lyrics


The scorch is a destructive force, for this is the final restriction;

When the flame dies, the fire will.

If the fire fears, she will burn in the blaze of her terror.

The blaze will be joined by fiends of unfulfilled pleas --

When the flame cuts, it is purified. (purified)

An examination takes place between every breath;

Between each breath, a fire dies and is reborn;

So every day, a flame is born into the light of night and dies into sleep.

That foretaste death, wherein dreams torment and taunt the fire, wherein dreams torment and taunt the fire, with deeds of the day. (with deeds of the day)

The fire must be an idol

Hiking through dominions of her underworld,

Mocked by the laws she has acted against.

The fire must meet the demons to fight the battles,

Which take place in her every day?

This imparts: flanked by breath and gasp,

The fire is the verdict that passes upon others.

When a flame dies, the fire will.

This imparts; the fire will be joined by armaments of truth and insight

When a flame cuts, it will be purified. (purified)
