The Chrysalis from MASQUE by Kill Scenes

Tracklist

2.	The Chrysalis	4:44

Lyrics

to wake alone
a winged thing
from burdened sleep
some other being
or die unbaptized
the chrysalis / the tomb

to see the skies
with burning eyes
all potential realized
or drift back into shadow
devoured in the womb

a bellows stokes a dream
before a blaze we must survive
screaming our ambitions
auditioning our lives

a body aches to bloom
in this chrysalis
a life to be consumed
in this chrysalis

to be released
upon the wind
from silken sheath
now born again
or suffer blind
the coffin / the cocoon

a bellows stokes a dream
before a blaze we must survive
screaming our ambitions
eating us alive

a body aches to bloom
in this chrysalis
a life to be consumed
in this chrysalis
