Ancient Unbound

from Shifted Silhouette by Vertigo Fox

lyrics

Just a shape in the flames
Don't know how to be tamed
What you no longer ordain
This lost power reclaimed
It was hidden inside
Now it’s mine
Was it animal ferocity or the turn of a phrase?
Of course, you disengage
…
You had lightning in a bottle
It's slipping away
And I won't strike the same way twice
The moment passes too close
You’re running like prey
‘cause you never could pay my price

A form, alone, beautiful in terror
Among this lack of graves
Suddenly set into the stinking sharp-clawed relevance
Your oldest stories attained
And you've chosen, at who to take aim
Since the sense of vast rapid wind calls my name
A tail that lifts, looking towards these frontiers
What you hid down within you, now you made clear
…
…
Lost in a land you despise
Can’t let yourself see it in the light
Lash out at everything that won’t stop
A ghost, a whisper on my flank
No oxygen left in your little fish tank
Screaming at the wider sea
As you fade
