TripSwitch

Come on in and take a seat at the table
The clock is ticking and the candles are alight
The floorboards creak beneath the weight of the shadow
That creeps along the surfaces and swallows you alive

When you approach a fork in the road
The choice is yours to forge a path and try to call it your own
The eyes of fate will burn a hole in your soul
You can summon the will
But will it follow you home?

Lay another body at the altar
Lead another creature to the slaughter
Make the sacrifice and pay a small fee
Take a photo to inscribe it as a memory
I’m here to lead you to adventure
Try not to break under the pressure
Stay calm, watch the flicker when you exhale
You will not survive unless you tip the scales

Search the premises to find yourself a lifeline
A tiny voice among the silence of the night
The beast that leads you through the trials and the trauma
Is either your salvation or a devil in disguise
Will you learn the truth even if it may hurt
Over and over again until escape is assured
Will you secure the keys to the door
Leave your captor as a trophy for another to earn

Live, die, make another sacrifice

Geas

Scales

Brim of creation
The void of an endless sea
Songless ablation
Eroding and emptying you
Through the gate as now you stand
Curiosity of mine
Circling the glass of the hour
Come, adopted child of Night
Come, hear your offering

These halls form a prison
For your lost hope
The surface a freedom
You long for

Your fire's glow
Is dead and gone
Washed out in the river
Bathed in gold
Returning home
Reborn
You're right back, you're right back
Right back again
You're right back, you're right back
Right back again

Cheater of Fates
So punished relentlessly
Spill out your life
Come tempting out prophecy
Through the gate as now you stand
Curiosity of mine
Circling the glass of the hour
Go, adopted child of Night
Her voice the horizon
You run towards
The face of the season
You long for

Light of Ixion

My hands are shaking
I'm losing my mind
Seeing the ghosts
I thought I'd left behind
My grief is heavy
A blight on my home
I'm only a burden
So I'll cede the throne
One by one they start to meet their demise
Wringing their hands of ethnological crimes
Know your place outsider
Or you'll be next in the fire

Contain the screams that echo silently inside of me
Maintain composure, medicate for the anxiety
I've been witness to the hell of living in community
The social structure I had longed for was illusory
Dreaming of the day when I would sacrifice myself to you
Repeat the cycle
Take the fall to try for something new

The crown I bear is a display of human empathy
You've brought me shame and now I'm taking back my dignity
I've made my choice to toss your bones into the machine
Light up the torch and watch them burn before the May Queen

The sun is beaming
A brilliant display
Color and vibrance
Exposing decay
You're disengaging
I'm done with the chase
Letting you in
Brought me only disgrace
Gather around and enter into my pain
Push it all out and let the wailing sustain
When the pyre crumbles
Can't help but grin at the rubble

I danced in circles round the legacy you'd built for me
Kicking up dirt until the ground had formed a grave beneath
I've made you the martyr that you'd always thought yourself to be
Wearing the skin of just another wasted devotee
Keep on believing with that vacant look upon your face
That you're the one with all the power
Make no mistake

It has to end to end this way
It has to end
