Lyrics/Temple of the Bone

Temple of the Bone

From Maw of the Eclipse · Track 2

[Verse 1] The pyramid of fractures into teeth and static, Spectacles gone cold and cinematic. Shadows moving against the firelight's glow, I'm treading on ghosts where the concrete should go. Fractured mirrors in the corner of my eye, How many sets of eyes watch the moon go by? [Chorus] Iron Nine, hold the line of the mind, Leave the logic and the light behind. Foxfire erosion in the temple of the bone, Spectral illusions on a splintered throne. We are the skulk, we are the mirror, Everything is screaming but nothing is clearer. [Verse 2] Was that the crunch of bone or the crumble of the wall? Was that a phantom scream or the spirits in the hall? Nine tails, nine ways to fracture the sky, The perimeter is fluid and the horizon is a lie. I'm sinking in the marrow where the copper meets the fire, Build the wall of static, watch the illusions get higher. [Chorus] Iron Nine, hold the line of the mind, Leave the logic and the light behind. Foxfire erosion in the temple of the bone, Spectral illusions on a splintered throne. We are the skulk, we are the mirror, Everything is screaming but nothing is clearer. [Outro] Foxfire fists close. The perimeter is gone. Only the marrow remains.
