Entropy in Motion - Phantoms in the Aether (feat. Joe Booe) Lyrics

I wander through cathedrals built of long forgotten woe
Their columns wrought from whispers that the winds dont care to know
Sigils carved in echoes line the corridors of dread
Yet every name inscribed therein was conjured in my head

The auguries are silent the omens have decayed
Yet still I weave my battle hymns in wars that none have made

A court of wraiths a war of shade a throne of dust and bone
No nemesis to curse my name no voices to intone
The stars remain indifferent cold as those who walk thereof
An emperor of emptiness unknown by hate or love

I sharpen blades of grievance on the whetstone of my doubt
Yet every edge dissolves before a foe that wont come out
The runes I trace in candlewax bear hexes none will read
For I am both the architect and victim of this creed

The constellations flicker but they whisper naught of war
The astral tides stay still as I await a phantom shore

I crowned myself with silence built my throne from broken years
Named each regret a sentinel each memory a spear
No echoes rise to meet me no shadows speak my name
Just me the dust and questions I was never meant to claim

What use is incantation when the spirits do not heed
What worth is sacred vengeance when the fates refuse to bleed
I war against the silence I duel against the void
Yet all my spells and stratagems remain null and destroyed

The sigils fade the halls collapse the echoes dissipate
No adversary watches none conspire or await
And as I stand in ruins of a war none ever breathe
I bow before the truth the world has never thought of me
