Ouroborous Lyrics
It appears to me
Quoting alarms.
Guillotine smirks
In your house I smothered.
Sight unseen,
Sworn to harm,
Ground to a powder
And soaked through the board.
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy.
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy.
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep them safe and by your side.
Of all that's left,
A lucid home,
Anecdote settles
In the smear of this corpse.
If the larvae speaks,
Ask where to go.
They mount the maker
With a sulfur in fume.
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy.
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy.
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep them safe and by your side.
Of all the warnings that you gave me,
With all components in the fault,
Have you ever heard me scraping? It'll be hard to hold.
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy.
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy.
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep them safe and by your side.
Of all the warnings that you gave me,
With all components in the fault,
Have you ever heard me scraping? It'll be hard to hold.
All I hear, mending the gap.
Fall in here, might not make it back.
Call that someone, may they hear you.
Take me with you, it's not safe in here.
And all you ask is why, why, why?
And all you ask is why I'm certain
You're holding on.
Mirror floats to the surface, holding on...
Of all the warnings that you gave me,
With all components in the fault,
Have you ever heard me scraping? It'll be hard to hold.
Of all the warnings that you gave me,
With all components in the fault,
Have you ever heard me scraping? It'll be hard to hold.
They lost the presence they were holding.
Looks like the tenants flickered off.
If the cell that holds me breaks me, it'll be hard to hold.
Quoting alarms.
Guillotine smirks
In your house I smothered.
Sight unseen,
Sworn to harm,
Ground to a powder
And soaked through the board.
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy.
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep them safe and by your side.
A lucid home,
Anecdote settles
In the smear of this corpse.
If the larvae speaks,
Ask where to go.

With a sulfur in fume.
Don't you ever, ever, ever trust my mercy.

fucking yes.
A fantastic song embedded in the mediocre second half of the new album.
I would argue that mediocrity can be primarily found in your very comment.

This song pretty much blows any mind i had previous to listening. eerie and intense. fucking beautiful
This is by far my favorite song on the album.
Before the album was released, the name Ouroboros caught my eye in the track listing and I knew then that I'd enjoy it.
Ouroboros is the depiction of a serpent eating it's tail, often a parable to the cyclic nature of time itself... both concepts are everywhere in the album.

Gutted... Overhauled, revised and corrected the whole lyric submission for this song, and do I get any credit? 'Course not.
Fantastic song though. Probably my fave from TBiG.
i love this song, best on the album following ilyena.
but its strange, there is a reference to a serpent swallowing its tail in askepios... but not in this song
I totally agree with The Goofy. The first five songs are amazing, then the second half is...well, half and half. This is definitely part of the better half.
The meter in this is part of why I like it. It's sorta like Tetragrammaton where they go in one meter for three bars, then to end the phrase on the fourth they add a beat. Excellent.
this song live is sooo kick ass...just saw them on sunday they amazing...just incredible! it was like orgasmic, i felt hight throughout the whole concert, but this song was SO kick ass
Im with Goofy, this album is awesome however the second half seems to lose a little steam after Goliath, with the exception of Ouroborous and Agadez being mind-blowing.
