Lyrics

"All Hope Abandon Ye Who Enter Here."

-Dante, The Inferno

Bring forth the Light,

To raze colonies

In a single cleansing breath.

Don't sleep, my queen;

The sun rises one less time

Than it will set.

Now overhead, the stars

That guided our forebears

Have turned to dust.

And underfoot, the churning

Framework of this earth

Succumbs to rust.

Bring forth the Light.

These dreams of Thunder displace,

Dismantled spirit's burnt bare-

Sylphs in the shards resounding,

"Open to the Field!"

Depatterned, floating in Grace,

Mapping the fragments...

"For to awaken and reassemble,

Enter by the narrow gates."

All has been inscribed

In the footnotes of time,

From the rising dead

To the falling rains;

From these proving grounds

To the burial mounds

Of fallen satellites'

Skeletal remains.

From a timeworn note's

Subtle feeling-tone,

To the coiled scales

In this mistaken mode.

Felt the birch bark walls

Of the temple shake,

When those who from heaven,

To this earth came.

From Eleusia

To the Killing Fields;

From the Promised Land

To the coming plague;

From the trenches of

Every whispered war,

To the future wreckage

Of the Large Array.

For the gate is wide,

And the way is broad,

That delivered me

(Insufferable in-between)

From the fleeting dawn

To this endless night,

In the labyrinth

Of the Iron Kings.

Now my footsteps take precedence as the traffic sounds fade,

And this city's lungs have purged their last breath.

I'm held captive at the curb before the World's End Lane,

Where I pledge my self to uncertainty.

From this shattered breaking point each new step must be

Nothing short of the saddest act of sorcery.

In search of that fleeting adversity,

O, merciless emptiness, that used to possess me...

So farewell Persephone, at rest on the altar,

Who dared to merge stone with the skies.

What curses of men guard the bridges you built, dear?

What doorways, what star-gates have you left behind?

So I'm following stardust, what's left of the twilight,

To get to that last jagged line.

To the edge of the earth by the age of rebirth.

I'll dissolve, end this realm, and reclaim what is mine.

Take in the knitting air,

Part with the cleansing breath,

Destiny turns the soils in which we manifest.

Suffer the burning coals,

Yield to the spiral tides,

Peer into the darkness, that all may be defined.

(swing wide the narrow gates)

Awesome. My favorite song from this album. The beginning it's so climatic...

I fucking love CTTS, they're geniuses, and this is coming from a guy who literally doesn't like any other screamo band you could name. This album is great and I want them to keep writing as long as they have it in them to make fresh and inspiring music... The only criticism I can make is that, like some really good bands, they seemed to have peaked early in their career. Not a criticism, just an observation, but it is hard to imagine them ever topping "As the Roots Undo".

That's cool. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Sometimes, when I don't like a band, I'll scratch their surface even deeper, maybe trying to find something I like about them. Often I find a few songs that I really love. It's rare that I find a band that I absolutely love everything they've done, but with a little effort, maybe you may find a few CTTS songs that you enjoy. heck, we were just sitting around looking at cat videos anyway, right?

This song is really old. It was recorded when they first got the drummer of Mare. I didn't know they re-recorded it.

Intelligent response countered by an equally intelligent response. This is not the Youtube I know.
