lyrics

Intro:

"When after all the phantoms thou shalt behold the shining of that incorporeal fire, that sacred fire. The darts of which penetrate in every direction through the depths of the world - Hearken to the Words of the Fire!" (Taken from 'A History of Magic' by Eliphas Lévi)

The dawn arises, I idly stand by
It's become so predictable; if undesirable to ask why
Broaden the mind; I went so far that I shan't return
Come clutch (on)to the vine; where it grows is not your concern

Pre-chorus:
If you can't say no, it's a clear fact
But the course... Well it's never been exact

Chorus:
Possession, obsession
Can't clear your head when the stakes are getting higher
Concessive, oppressive
When all is bewildered hearken to the Words of the Fire!

Ponder your way... I've pondered my way
And see for yourself what is meant to be the same,
Mundane, (so mundane)
It's becoming too obvious you just cannot fight the pain
No, it's not regret (there's nothing to regret)
And I won't say it's a safe bet
Flow into the vain of confusion
And become one in endless illusion

Pre:
10 to one it's everything you didn't get
And the fire...
And the fire is not diffused yet (yet you're)

Chorus:

Chorus II:
Possessor, Obsessor!
Can't make up your mind when the stakes are growing tired
Concessor, Oppressor!
All is bewildered (thus)
Hearken to the Words of the Fire!

...and the leap is but one step!

Repeat Pre II + Chorus II

The Transcendental Leap (Instrumental)
