To Find the Light, Part One

Exquisite corpses hang transfixed under fading amber rays
 And parish flies with famine eyes find they've nothing left to say
 Your father rode to Ragnarok with bloody hands in bleak repose
 No glory crowns his hallowed brow as the jaws of Heaven close
 Chimera kings, laid bare before eviscerated thrones
 Seize predatory vacancies in the marrow of your bones
 Distilled in silver cruciform with broken alabaster tongues
 They bind the silent witness and drain conviction from their lungs
 In this mutilated testament
 Blunt trauma breaks the instrument
 And all I want to know
 Is where we go from here
 To filter out the dissonance
 Make sense of shattered innocence
 All I want to know
 Is where we go
 A skeletal inheritance, profane and polished acid white
 Dances out of reach, ahead of me inside my dreams tonight
 No prize for Eden's bastard children, all that remains to do is try
 To find the meaning in the misdirect and the light where shadows lie
 In this mutilated testament
 Blunt trauma breaks the instrument
 And all I want to know
 Is where we go from here
 To filter out the dissonance
 Make sense of shattered innocence
 All I want to know
 Is where we go
