Storyline

Lilith finds herself reborn into a new life outside of purgatory. Like all souls in this story, she has no memory of her previous lives. Lilith is simply happy with the birth of her first child. Yet she feels a terrible sense of foreboding, as if someone has walked over her grave. Doubts nag at her from her subconscious mind, dark whispers that distort the calmness of the world around her.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Twilight's tendrils twist and trail,

Life leaps from death's dim, drowsy veil.

Lilith, lucid, lost lore erased,

Lulls her babe in loving embrace.


[Chorus]

Stone sighs softly, silence seeps,

Cracked crystal secrets cryptic keeps.

Snap, snap, SNAP! Sight's senses spin?

Rattle, RATTLE, RATTLE, fates begin.


[Verse 2]

Starry skies, a shimmering show,

Nursery nook in night's soft glow.

Mirror's mien marred by murky line,

Darkened divot 'neath stars divine.


[Chorus]

Stone sighs softly, silence seeps,

Cracked crystal secrets cryptic keeps.

Snap, snap, SNAP! Sight's senses spin?

Rattle, RATTLE, RATTLE, fates begin.


[Verse 3]

Whispers waft like wilting leaves,

Piercing peace that youth perceives.

Babe slumbers, bright and blessed sight,

Yet fissures foretell forthcoming fright.


[Bridge]

Lilith looks, brow knit with doubt,

Where shadowed spectres swirl about.

"Transient trifle," tongue protests,

While echoes eddy of unrest.


[Verse 4]

Phantoms flow from fathomless fears,

Disturbing dreams as dusk disappears.

Past perplexes, beyond her brain,

Voiceless whispers: "Begin again."


[Chorus]

Stone sighs softly, silence seeps,

Cracked crystal secrets cryptic keeps.

Snap, snap, SNAP! Sight's senses spin?

Rattle, RATTLE, RATTLE, fates begin.


[Outro]

Mirror moans, cracks cascading clear,

Ancient axioms amplify near.

Fractured face, past and present fuse,

Cycle churns, old life to new muse.
