lyrics

From clay and dust we were formed
By water and salt sustained
But we shall ascend to speak with the stars

None save us know the nature of the universe
the secrets of the stars
The procession of eternity

All that we observe in the heavens
Calculated, codified
But tainted by our mortal minds

The flesh that forms our thoughts
Is vulgar, profane
Unworthy of the firmament

We must seek to change ourselves
Rid our flesh of salt and earth
To be reborn in quintessence

Reborn in quintessence

Abandon life
Free your soul
Temples built
From salt and bone

Lay the foundations of our rise
To the firmament
Flesh and bone profane but suitable for this purpose
Sculpt a tower of suffering and skulls
To climb ever higher and reach the stars
And reach the stars

Abandon life
Free your soul
Our spirits rise
From ash and stone

From clay and dust we were formed
By water and salt sustained
But we shall ascend to speak with the stars
