Hannes Grossmann - To Where The Light Retreats lyrics



Tracks



01. The Great Designer

Music & lyrics by Hannes Grossmann
Purity, the cleansing
Resurrection of the dead
Is purely construction
Revelation

A compromising revenant
Ambiguity got out of hand
Construe the covenant
The inner convent

"Father! Why have you forsaken me?"
Desires let him live
But he must give his life to set us free

Non-divine
Be this body of mine
Dissolving the Great Designer
At the end of time
We're alone after all
A mind reborn on evenfall

Morals obstructed from reality
Broken doctrines you conceived
Obtain relief
The inner grief

Non-divine
Be this body of mine
Dissolving the Great Designer
At the end of time
We're alone after all
A mind reborn on evenfall

Culture - to confront reality
The pain - its cause obtains mortality
Ever clinging to disbelive
The great other erased, silently

No man is a riddle in itself
Take my word - make it hurt
Embrace the emptiness

Condemn your concern
Set your mind ablaze
Unfollow ideology and take the way out of the maze

There is no God in Christ

Non-divine
be this body of mine
Dissolving the Great Designer
At the end of time
We're alone after all
A mind reborn on evenfall

02. The Sun Eaters

Music & lyrics by Hannes Grossmann
Incantation
Heavens wait, decimate
Hard fate is aligned in the stars
Indications were given to those merciful
Curage - a strenght to unfold

One by one
Eating The Sun
Rings Of Fire
Speak and shine upon,
From the center of the flame

Burn my eyes mighty sun, savage star
Enlight the path to unity
Reverse the curse
A violent future made undone
Bright eyes fill the everflowing stream

One by one
Eating The Sun
Rings Of Fire
Speak and shine upon,
From the center of the flame

Deprivation has periled our commuity
Devotion may set our spirit free
In the wake of an ending we compel
into submission for all eternity

One by one
Eating The Sun
Rings Of Fire
Speak and shine upon,
From the center of the flame

03. The Symbolic Nature Of Terms

Music & lyrics by Hannes Grossmann
I elevate to decompress
The patriotic idiocy takes place on our terms
Appropriate, then cultivate to level their success
Identitarian infamy - feed it to the worms!

Out of the dark drones silent remark
while collective guilt displaces individuality

I animate to re-adress
The blame game's substancy is a diplomatic mess
Your dogma's ill-concieved
Nothing changes I believe
Unless supply and demand
Bite the hand of saxon protestants

Out of the dark drones silent remark
Collective laws enable individuality

Policies are incomplete when deprived of their ground
Terms give way to emptiness, a hollow voice unsound
One shall not yield to force, but contemplate control
Put things forward right on track
Collective affection - sending the signal back to the source

Hirarchy is systematic ideology

Out of the dark drones silent remark
Where collective thought enables individuality

04. In The Glacier's Eye

Music & lyrics by Hannes Grossmann
Close your eyes and see
The land of ice beneath cold lakes
Beyond the sea
To where the light retreats

Driven by its call elite
The glacier flows inside our sleep
Inner awakening of the earth
To which our deeds give birth

Cut the silent strain - we must remain
By the grace of winter
Our end's suspense - great change commence
Too weak to survive in the glacier's eye

The blade above us
Swings in rings towards us
A knife sharpened
By the force of darkness

Come forth you leaders!
The carbon consealers
wreak momentum
In shadows of dispair

Cut the silent strain - we must remain
By the grace of winter
Our end's suspense - great change commence
Too weak to survive in the eyes of winter
Too weak to survive in the glacier's eye

05. Dhaulagiri

Music & lyrics by Hannes Grossmann
Illuminated by sunset
In bright blue light
A valley deep among mountains steep
A throne of ice in clear sight

Face of death - nature's fortress
Iced by the edge of time
A wall of rock stands in my way
On the way to sure death

North face? West face?
Blind faith is all you've got?
Curage dictates the plot
There's million ways to fall

Facing death at the frost caress
Called too many, too soon
A throne of stone became their curse
A place on earth remote as the moon

Higher!

Take a step
Into thin air divine
Climb to accelerate the ladder of truth
Take a leap
Into your mind's deepest dreams
To reach your inner self's esteem

Your life is lost
Until your self begins

All thoughts coalesce
Her glazing bliss raining down
To fear, to love, to grieve and exist
The closure falls

A realm of snow and ice persits
Here on Dhaulagiri
Its wonder is shaped by force and thunder
- blazing down on me

Face of death - nature's fortress
Ice throne - force divine
A wall of rock stood in my way
On the way to success

Take a step
Into thin air divine
Climb to accelerate the ladder of truth
Take a leap
Into your mind's deepest dreams
To reach your inner self's esteem

Your life is lost
Until your self begins

All thoughts coalesce
Her glazing bliss raining down
To fear, to love, to grieve and exist
The closure falls

A realm of snow and ice persits
here on Dhaulagiri
Its wonder is shaped by force and thunder
- blazing down on me

06. Death And The Vast Nothing

Music & lyrics by Hannes Grossmann
I have the urge for conversation
Thoughts begin to putrify
Behind the mirror I shall speak
For my words become divine

Laws of the constant
Ripple the truth inside
Before I take an eye for an eye
The unseen remains sublime

From beyond the path of logos
Inherent genocide
A beast to alter focus
Long before a woken mind

To change constant sorrow
One believes in self-defiance
Be caged by natural order
Deconstruction of the mind

At nothing I reside
Hearts of horror
Digest what we decide
To bear the ending of it all

Beneath the waves
Beyond the soul
There is something you don't know
The all remaining final wokeness

Beneath the waves
Beyond your dreams
There is something you don't see
The clutch's inside our progress now

The vast nothing
Portal into emptiness
Everlasting fire
Everlasting death

Into the great nothing
Into the great divide
Embrace darkness
Embrace death

07. The Fountain

Music & lyrics by Hannes Grossmann
Light emerged before fire
Once the desert was cold as ice
Thunder growling
Echoes fracture through the cold divide

We evolve by pleaseant motions
A seed emerged from ancient oceans
As I drank from the fountain
Of eternal life

The yield within our soul
From eyes obsidian to weapons euclidean
There is no return
Wretched insomnia - To Daimonion

In the search for a living God
I sacrifice your precious blood

Pass the place of no return
There is no way out
Breathing death is what we shall yearn for
Two minds, one heart and soul

08. Memento

Music & lyrics by Hannes Grossmann
Confess to history
Confiscated amendment
The havoc liberty unites in regress

To frame simplicity
Unrelenting mind-cremation
Let the present speak
Recalled by the past

Free tibet, free tibet
To feed on dreams uneven
Remember to heeding the call of hearts divine

Neglecting victory
Unmaking colonization
Inverse dynasty - levelled to the source

The elder compromises
Appear like stale reprises
Our future emphasises weakness of the past

Free tibet, free tibet
To feed on dreams uneven
Remember to heeding the call of hearts divine

Revoking sparks will sire,
Come across to reunite
Unbolt, connect, rewire
By affection modalized

Deliverance gives meaning to indifference

Invoking woes by fire
Injustice idolized
Brings pain to those who follow
The leaders' false advise

Revoking sparks will sire,
Come across to reunite
Unbolt, connect, rewire
By affection modalized
