lyrics

"my son - open your eyes"

flames throw shaking shadows
and a harsh smell of burnt blood
accompany them towards me
and reach me in this cold womb
where sounds of death echoes
and shatter my heart in pieces
fading into emptiness
as countless hands lift me
i hear my name is chanted
leading me to the redeeming blade
that i will not deny

let the fire wipe out the shames
let the ground welcome the blood
let the sand dry out the flesh
let the knife release the heart

lower one
butcherer
ferryman
kherty

drained i bow down
before this boundless void
sinking below
raising above
in utmost stillness
on a bloody river
sailing onwards to
the western horizon
