Invidiosus – Psychomanteum lyrics

Spiritual Realm -
Confused soul
A portal to
Commune with the dead

Silent and steady
Gazing into a reflective pool
Cut off, from all worldly distractions

An Oracle, truthful
For the sick only
Holding in it, the presage of life or death

Catoptromancy, Divination:
Searching for the secrets to existence

Conduit...
To the subconscious

Now the thread is snapping,
Sanity unwrapping
Visions of the future:
Blinding in their madness

Voices echo through your head,
Connecting with spirits of the dead
Ethereal deities, subjugate reality

In your mind: Pestilence, and plague
All-encompassing, in the trance...

Sensory Deprivation

Left and right, back and forth
Scanning for a sign of life,
Inside of the mirror

Neither breathing nor blinking,
Completely unmoving

Yet in your head, running for your life

Hallucinatory, close to hysteria;
Your thoughts seem to tear at you

The other side of the mirror,
Has never been clearer
Yet in this domain, you have transduced

Speculari...
Hypnosis already induced
Total darkness:
Both in, and outside, of you

Apparitions,
Indeterminate view;
Unfocused, you
Transfer through,
Into... Another plane

Once inside
The Spirit World...

The dead and gone
Secrets, untold

Insight sought;
Mortal qualms to be rectified...

All at once, the demons come alive!
You try to escape, but the portal rescinds!
Something in your mind snaps,
You are out of time
Trapped in the psychomanteum, never will you die

Try to escape, but you're in the other realm
Human psyche shattered, you are overwhelmed
Form incorporeal, your matter destroyed
Within the psychomanteum, floating in the void
