Lantern Eyed Lyrics

Album: Ingress

Pointing to the earth and to the sky

Commanding a legion malign

Before she could remember the fire was in her heart

The never dying embers drove her to perfect her arts

Learning from the elders that wanted their wisdom to endure

From them she kept sheltered her mind and desires of the impure

Tomes she devoured of alchemy, incantations and spells

A knowledge of power, drinking deeply from arcane wells

An apprentice to sculptors, a necessary skill she must hone

Inanimate sculptures, Ka will soon inhabit the forms of stone

Under her watch, lantern eyed

Over the congregation she presides

Pointing to the earth and to the sky

Commanding a legion malign

Hammer and chisel giving birth to a host of solid stone

Hewn from the earth the likenesses of something grotesque and unknown

Attending the figures in her hidden quarry, with an elixir of life she anoints

Preparing for the upheavals glory, downwards and upwards she points

Pointing to the earth and to the sky

Commanding a legion malign

Decades of study and practice in preparation of a single event

Seemingly born with a dark purpose and malicious intent

Her life never veering from its course, the lefthand path

The earth will tremble with force when she lets loose her creatures wrath

Under her watch, lantern eyed

Over the congregation she presides

Pointing to the earth and to the sky

Commanding a legion malign

Hammer and chisel giving birth to a host of solid stone

Hewn from the earth the likenesses of something grotesque and unknown

Attending the figures in her hidden quarry, with an elixir of life she anoints

Preparing for the upheavals glory, downwards and upwards she points

Silently sitting empty vessels, waiting for the time to be filled

An elixir from mortar and pestle, her great work to be willed

Invocation of legion in the sculptures of stone

Ka inhabits her creations, maiden, mother and crone
