lyrics

A decade of bloodshed, strife, and struggle finally come to close
All that's left is the long voyage home
But our careless captain cursed us to hostile seas and violent storms
Shipwrecked and left to subsist on the bounty of this island paradise

Fields of flowers, fragrant, far as the eye can see
It turns to me to try it's potency
The bittersweet petals, intoxicating, coursing through my veins
Undiscovered wavelengths of light, obscured by hidden stars
The unnatural order exposed by feral dreams
Weightless, emancipated but for a moment, outrun gravity

I see them gaze at me with unfamiliar eyes
I know they dare not walk the lotus path
Pawns to petty squabbles of indifferent gods and kings
So tired, so tired of spilling blood for the whims of tyrants

I hear it calling back for me, just one more taste
I feel it clawing desperately, lotophagi

Pleasures unknown to bacchus himself
Fields of forbidden flora coat the moonkissed fields
Heresy in full bloom

Howling winds play a siren song on the floral orchard choir
A thousand voices beckoning me to stay and eat as much as I please

The watchful gaze of a million eyes
Speckle the black celestial realm
Basking beneath the lunar rays
Solitary but not alone

I awake beneath the western sun and eastern moon
Stumbling back to a deserted camp, the ashes already cold
A single shadow crawls on the distant waves
Now and forever oceans away
Sinking, shrinking, swallowed beside the setting sun

I hear it calling back for me, just one more taste
I feel it clawing desperately, lotophagi
