The Retrograder Lyrics


Rise, now rise beast of misfortune

Ruthless questioner of creation

Travel within, between and under

Crushing every form of slumber

Riding the tides of immaculate doom

Striving beyond the ways established

Leaving the shells of perfect silence

Derelict implements of your guidance

Inside-out, beneath the web

No mouth speaks the words of the dead

The absence of all the meaning

Penetrating through the intervals of the breathing

Without within, under the wave

And the world's light goes retrograde

Withdrawing the very meaning

from all forms breathing

Merciless currents dragging towards

The splendid horrors of pure absence

Revealing the sights that burns the eyes

Swiftly switching poles and sides

Claws of strife embedded deep

into the pulsating flesh of time

Spitting remains of blackest fluid

On every thought of self-centered being

Infringing the ways of arrogant pride

A blaze after blaze of wildest flames

Shining with the strangest of spectrums

Retrograding light towards the Uncenter

Inside-out, under the web

Thy mouth speaks the words of the dead

The absence of all the meaning

Hidden beneath intervals of the breathing

Without within stopping the waves

Thus world's light moves retrograde

Withdrawing the very meaning from all forms of Being

Retrograder of light, come forth!
