Conjure Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Snort the powder of Ibn Ghazi
Line up on ash, trembling swiftly
Weekly rising, tangle of lifemares summoned
Stripping it clean, drag it clear into the system
[Pre-Chorus]
A blind business that blinds
A voice that's not a voice
Waiting in the low place
Serpent suffocation winds to the feet
[Chorus]
Beware the conjure
Beware the conjure
[Verse 2]
The bulk of mortals walk alone with
Eidolon unseen and foul
Bend the Magus, thrash the fatuous, dread the strike that smites
As a foulness be the corpus at your throat
Inside the rock under the deeps
Dead conundrums, blood's in dreams
Expectation of a blow
Serpent submission winds to the feet
It's all the conjure
[Bridge]
Narcomancy
Blasphemy is addicted dream
Vainglorious, spreads death on
Narcomancy
[Verse 3]
Cut off spectrum, intercourse
A terrible thing to hear
No earth born free fall, nothing sane of this fear
Now the wisdom is born without guidance
[Pre-Chorus]
A blind business that blinds
A choice without choice
Waiting in the low place
Serpent suffocation winds to the feet
[Chorus]
Beware the conjure
Beware the conjure
Beware the conjure
Beware the conjure
[Outro]
Beware the conjure
Because, in the end, you will find out
You cannot win
