I crest the surface of the deep
As my breath returns to my lungs
A breeze rushes through the antechamber
I rise from the froth and tread forth
I see a light through the shimmering stones
And a gentle calm overtakes me
A colossal matron of steel towers high in the center
Under the weight
I stand on my feet
Have I found my second half?
Am I no longer doomed to the left-hand path?
Out of the gaping maw
Emerges the truth I've sought for so long
We're drifting through the unknown
Have I found my balance here?
My fear has flown far away into the nothingness
From within the metal mother
My anima cries out to me
Who will I be, if I accept tranquility?
Was all that was dead inside still part of me?
Is the path to peace rooted in acceptance?
Must I let go of the rage that brought me so far
To stand in this moment?
I venture into the construct and accept my fate
Into the breach
The middle path
As the metal groans
I open my eyes and the light is blinding
It is empty
Out of the gaping maw
Emerges the truth I've sought for so long
We're drifting through the unknown
Have I found my balance here?
My fear has flown far away into the nothingness
From within the metal mother
My anima cries out to me
The path behind me closes
As the steel bears its teeth and advances at me
Laughter echoes through the metallic casket
My matron mother, an iron maiden
My flesh is pierced from every angle
My hope is dashed among the stones
My search for truth was destined for mockery
There is no comfort within the void
My flesh weeps to the ground
The spikes in my eyes break the dam of my mind
This is the price of my foolish design
This is the suffering inherent in life
Hate boils in my veins
As my halves are combined
Yet there is no peace to be found
As the blood fills the chamber and I start to drown
Out of the cold
Into the flames
Resistance is futile
Existence is pain
Out of the gaping maw
Emerges the truth I've sought for so long
We're drifting through the unknown
Have I found my balance here?
My fear has flown far away into the nothingness
From within the metal mother
My anima cries out to me
As my breath returns to my lungs
A breeze rushes through the antechamber
I rise from the froth and tread forth
I see a light through the shimmering stones
And a gentle calm overtakes me
A colossal matron of steel towers high in the center
Under the weight
I stand on my feet
Have I found my second half?
Am I no longer doomed to the left-hand path?
Out of the gaping maw
Emerges the truth I've sought for so long
We're drifting through the unknown
Have I found my balance here?
My fear has flown far away into the nothingness
From within the metal mother
My anima cries out to me
Who will I be, if I accept tranquility?
Was all that was dead inside still part of me?
Is the path to peace rooted in acceptance?
Must I let go of the rage that brought me so far
To stand in this moment?
I venture into the construct and accept my fate
Into the breach
The middle path
As the metal groans
I open my eyes and the light is blinding
It is empty
Out of the gaping maw
Emerges the truth I've sought for so long
We're drifting through the unknown
Have I found my balance here?
My fear has flown far away into the nothingness
From within the metal mother
My anima cries out to me
The path behind me closes
As the steel bears its teeth and advances at me
Laughter echoes through the metallic casket
My matron mother, an iron maiden
My flesh is pierced from every angle
My hope is dashed among the stones
My search for truth was destined for mockery
There is no comfort within the void
My flesh weeps to the ground
The spikes in my eyes break the dam of my mind
This is the price of my foolish design
This is the suffering inherent in life
Hate boils in my veins
As my halves are combined
Yet there is no peace to be found
As the blood fills the chamber and I start to drown
Out of the cold
Into the flames
Resistance is futile
Existence is pain
Out of the gaping maw
Emerges the truth I've sought for so long
We're drifting through the unknown
Have I found my balance here?
My fear has flown far away into the nothingness
From within the metal mother
My anima cries out to me
