Lyrics

We've come here
From so far away
I can save you
If you leave it all behind
This suffering's
Been far too long
Would you take a trip with me
On the back of a star?
I feel like earth's gravity is just here to pull us down

(Mother of creation wait)
Embrace the souls of the lost world, carry them away
(Darkness negative receptive)
Pour firmament between our waters separate the space
(Mother of destruction wait)
With a belt of skulls strap me down send the ship away
(Progress with the process)
Mine the souls from their casts, pour form and reshape

This dark womb
Wraps and covets me
Redefining understanding
If you open up the heart
Nurturing
This phenomenon
We can carry you on our wings
Our wings through the dark

Lightning flashes of insight
Into the mirth of a dark sky
Pain of division is nothing
Joy of dissolution is everything

(Mother of creation wait)
Embrace the souls of the lost world, carry them away
(Darkness negative receptive)
Pour firmament between our waters separate the space
(Mother of destruction wait)
With a belt of skulls strap me down send the ship away
(Progress with the process)
Mine the souls from their casts, pour form and reshape

Portal sits deep within the eye
The eye of yin's severity
Rewards understanding
Portal sits deep within the eye
The eye of yin's severity
Rewards understanding

Blackness consumes body comforts core of nothing

Mother
I can't remember a vault of security
Can you take me away?
Would you take me away?
Won't you take me away?
...Away!

(Mother of creation wait)
Embrace the souls of the lost world, carry them away
(Darkness negative receptive)
Pour firmament between our waters separate the space
(Mother of destruction wait)
With a belt of skulls strap me down send the ship away
(Progress with the process)
Mine the souls from their casts, pour form and reshape
