The Canon Of Nil

The atrophy
Of the Apostles
Lives on papyrus
Never to be erased

The canon of God
The Old Testament
The book of Moses
The creation of man

The holy phrases
Shall remain
Like the flowing rivers
And the warming sun

The Canon of Nil
Nothing but phlegm
A dangerous refuge
The addiction to hope

The Canon of Nil
The desperate search
Insight seems pointless
In the absence of god

Of despair
Resounds
In Cathedrals

Sculpted and written
Created in delusion
In the candlelight
Of antiquity

A summoning
Of restless spirits
Craving for affection
And a worthy death

The Canon of Nil
Nothing but phlegm
A dangerous refuge
The addiction to hope

The Canon of Nil
The desperate search
Insight seems pointless
In the absence of god

The Canon of Nil
Nothing but phlegm
A dangerous refuge
The addiction to hope

The Canon of Nil
The desperate search
Insight seems pointless
In the absence of god
