The Perfect Memory (Phantasm of Aura)

Lyrics for The Perfect Memory (Phantasm of Aura)

We are given the heat and friction of light To moult in our delirious memories Now we dream only in familiar depths What in the bitter night speaks to us? To moult in our delirious memories Three sepulchral notes ring A phantasm of aura remains The torn flesh ribbons of the absolute Their presence like firelight at our backs Absolution, the fateful pillar of reprieve Threadbare faith in the cult of seven angels Life free from illusion In the gallery for the angelic conversation Bound to be lashed by the great white light The stench of enlightenment Degenerates my cells Constellations prostrated to me 'til elevation Ever-eager and all-seeing Man may feel his breath one last time Quietly and offer no resistance How pure, the shade of this premonition How hysterical our thermal maximum Tell me, what is eternity?
