lyrics

Multidimensional existence. a soul less vessels in the fabric of time.

(Twisting through portals; bodies malform)

"Trail behind the North star lonesome wanderer. Intergalactic pariah
You've come so far yet stand in place. With your boredom's and your Disgrace".

Scavenging the cosmos in search of meaning and substance

(Ancient spires crack and crumble)

Silence, Breathless, Motionless, Emptiness
Endless, Lifeless

The light has been extinguished; breath deep the void-less air
Grasp your chest in agony and let the vacuum take you.

Ancient palisades hide the ruins of our past.

"This is the testimony of all that I have seen, and all that I have learned. I have seen One Thousand and One moons, and surely this is enough for the span of a man's life. I have raised demons from the dead. I have summoned the ghosts of my ancestors to real and visible appearance on the tops of temples built to reach the stars. I have raised armies against the Lands of the East, by summoning the hordes of fiends I have made subject unto me, and doing so found the God of the Heathens, who breathes flame and roars like a thousand thunders.

I have found fear."

What Passes For Survival
by Pyrrhon

supported by 4 fans who also own “Eater of Light”

Pyrrhon have created an itch for me that only they can scratch. Disturbingly avant-garde and violently original, math-y and mind-boggling but also humorous (take the brilliant lyrics to Goat Mockery Ritual). Great stuff, this is high art. jenglishlives
