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