Beneath the gold, beneath the skin
A darker light was drawing in
I called it ruin,
called it shame But still it whispered through my name DESCEND
I entered what I feared to see
The ash beneath identity
Black sun within
Burn through the shape I lived within
No light is whole that fears the night I lose the form
and keep the fire
The vessel cracked, the image fell No crown survived the inner well
In nigredo, stripped of disguise I met the hunger in my eyes
BECOME
The darkness did not make me blind
It burned the false from what was mine
The pressure rises
The old self bends LET IT DIE
So truth begins DISSOLVE
BLACK SUN DEVOUR THE NAME
I keep the flame
RISE FROM THE ASH
Black sun within Burn through the shape I lived within
No light is whole that fears the night
I lose the form and keep the fire
What died was never all of me
