about

A man seeking enlightenment stumbles through a barren and labyrinthine expanse until he is drawn to a mystical spirit guide. She presents him with a potion that sends him on a journey through the reaches of the universe to unlock its hidden secrets. His Hubris both prevented him from seeing what was before him all along and also gives him the impression he has unlocked all the hidden meaning from the Elixir by merely scratching the surface.

lyrics

My path obscured by creeping mist
I'm drowning in the mire
My own footprints act as my guide
The galactic mistress calls me to the void
Her chalice brims with smoke and stars
The spirit guide extends her hand and says

Drink deeply my dear
Witness the eternal ghosts of planets aflame
Visions of worlds obscured by the frame
Reach behind the veil
Harness the powers behind the shroud of the night
Shed your form and bathe in astral light

The brew now twists into my lungs
And snakes into my veins
Colours explode behind my eyes
The world before me folds from its disguise
The melting chalice crumbles away
My cells embrace fractal reality…
Drink deeply my dear
Witness the eternal ghosts of planets aflame
Visions of worlds obscured by the frame
Reach behind the veil
Harness the powers behind the shroud of the night
Shed your form and bathe in astral light

Stride along the chasm, ride celestial waves
Into the maelstrom of horizons
Untethered body and mind

Perception is split, my reach extends
The infinite paths are within my hands
A thousand lifetimes in a moment now
My corporeal form is shed
Father of worlds and a child of time
My soul and the cosmos are entwined
Adorned with the gems of the solar flares
And cloaked in nebulae I soar - Into the void!

I speak the secrets of the stars
My home the vast oceans of eternity

Drink deeply my dear
Witness the eternal ghosts of planets aflame
Visions of worlds obscured by the frame
Reach behind the veil
Harness the powers behind the shroud of the night
Shed your form and bathe in astral light

Eternal ghosts
Planets aflame
Visions of worlds
Behind the veil
Shroud of the night
Shed your form and bathe in astral light
