about

Chimerical was a strange track to create. It was born a few years ago, almost "as is", as a one day song writing challenge I did for myself and a buddy of mine, and recorded it at like 200bpms. Needless to say, the output was a nasty, over the top, pretty damn dirty song, without much feel or anything you could grab on to since you'd quickly lose grip because of its speed. But, I really liked everything about it, so I sat down, pulled the tempo back quite a bit, added much more immersion to it, and this came out. It's meant to follow the mind of a not-so-well religious fanatic who thinks himself a misunderstood prophet of his times, but you can interpret it any way you want to. This is art, after all.

lyrics

I have seen the world through eyes unpunished
I have felt the touch of god in my mind's eye
I have breathed an air so pure I was ravished
I have heard the anguish of those bleeding full of sin

I have felt the stones of those who won’t accept
I have gazed beyond these walls through heaven's parapet
I have heard the whispers of divinely secrets
I have touched those sacred words now carved into my chest

Staring into the morning light
Searching in the rays of the sun
For answers hidden from the night
A path to redemption

But now the fear has begun to set in
All strings have been cut and let loose from this mortal coil
Visions of what could have been

And finally ends all the doubt
That I will ever be able to cure
And like a martyr I end this life's bout

I have felt the movement of time within my soul
I have seen the attributes of God in nature’s mold
I have nurtured many questions and answered manifold
I have known myself to be a finitely ordered mode

I have looked my world and found a truth so bright
That echoes in these white halls filling all with dread and fright
I will preach the truth to all in the shadow of the night
I will remove from this world all the demons and their blight

But now the fear has begun to set in
All strings have been cut and let loose from this mortal coil
Visions of what could have been

And finally ends all the doubt
That I will ever be able to cure
And like a martyr I end this life's bout

Watch the light as it flows
Upon the rivers of our mind and into the unknown
The void of all sacrificed

And past memories
Of those brave souls who came denied before me
Into this hollow dream which burned the effigies
Of angel eyes who came to see and bleed
To speak their words for us to heed and seek
A new beginning to life's endless bleak
And guide us through into eternity
The tongue of seraphim will you now speak

Visions that glisten becoming clearer
With each pill I swallow further
Close my eyes
