Neurosis - Sovereign Album Lyrics

Prayer

Recognize this as your own nature
Abandon the fear
Abandon the terror you project
Let your mind rest beyond flesh and bone
Look from a place of understanding, your mind is a conduit
Your mind is as vast as the universe
Rest in this
In the clear light of existence
This light is divine

unsafe
unsure and screaming
i turn and face the sun
burning with a beautiful rage

turn away
weave and spin
in the fields of time i've lain to crawl the inner plane
weave and spin
awakened crystal pain through and down by a
sent down low scar my soul
wall, it comes in waves free and invisible
break this peace seal the blow
mother crawled away to see the star

this is where i've come to bear
feel the calm and flow and the procession
witness to my fate anew
bodies fall away, spirits burn
trapped inside i abide this ordeal
drawn in and praying in waste, sent out and smashing down
i endure this place and this pain
distant sounds pass by etching this tunnel
i go on, i go on
I AM MY WILL

An Offering

these are offerings forgiven to the eye of spirits and law
intrinsic fire witness the time of iron
reflections of the snake
reflections of the tree

chaos fills our landing, the wizard points to the one
the cup is poisoned, the crime has risen
the ship carries us to the crimson soul
in our yard we found some bones
the child is whole
inside are pictures of the future war
outside

in tide i came to feel your heart
and rise to believe our need to know
in time i gave to instill our world
to recieve our...

Sovereign

Her rain is black rust
And melts down heavy on dreaming heads
It cuts through

She floods the haunting roads of the past
Like the dark night embraces a shadow

A fold in time brings her madness
Worn from and age from wars
A sovereign pain

A will tattered by a thousand storms
An explosion of memories echo in the skull

Faith in this will bring us all to her
We will know and feel all that is real
