Chaotic Hermit - Belly of the Beast Lyrics

In the depths of consciousness, I cast my line
Bait of purity, luring creatures divine
Leviathan rises, jaws agape and wide
Swallowed whole, I begin my astral ride (astral ride)
I begin my astral ride (astral ride)
Yeah, my astral ride

Jonah's journey, echoes through time and space
As I descend, into this unholy place
Cthulhu's tendrils, caress my mortal frame
While angels and demons, whisper my name

In the belly of the beast, I'm torn apart
Transformed in the abyss, alchemy's art
Fishing in the void, with my soul as bait
The purer the offering, the sweeter the fate (sweeter the fate)
The purer the offering, the sweeter the fate (sweeter the fate)
Yeah, the sweeter the fate

Eldritch horrors, dance in the corners of my mind
Reality unravels, sanity left behind
Like Poe's Raven, perched upon my psyche's door
Quoth the dweller on the threshold, Nevermore (Nevermore)
Nevermore (Nevermore)
Nevermore

Tentacles of thought wrap 'round my very core
As I wrestle with myself, on this abyssal shore
Jacob wrestled his angel, I face my dark twin
In this nightmarish realm, where all sins begin
(Where all things begin)

Tell me your name, oh reflection grim
As we waltz, on the event horizon's rim
In this psychedelic maelstrom, we entwine
Two halves of one soul, both yours and mine

In the belly of the beast, I'm torn apart
Transformed in the abyss, alchemy's art
Fishing in the void, with my soul as bait
The purer the offering, the sweeter the fate (sweeter the fate)
The purer the offering, the sweeter the fate (sweeter the fate)
Yeah, the sweeter the fate

And lo, in the depths, of the cosmic sea
Where Lovecraft's nightmares, come to be
I found myself, both pure and profane
A paradox, of pleasure and pain
The whale of consciousness, vast and deep
Swallows me whole, my soul to steep

Three days and nights, in this living tomb
Surrounded by, bioluminescent bloom
Madness and wisdom, no longer apart
As I decipher, the language of my heart (of my heart)
The language of my heart (of my heart)
The angelic language of my heart

The beast releases me, changed and new
Emerging from the waters, baptized in cosmic dew
Like Jonah, cast upon that ancient shore
I return with knowledge from the cosmic core

In the belly of the beast, I found my name
Whispered by the void, eternal flame
Fishing in the abyss, I caught my soul
Shattered but mended, finally whole (whole)
Whole (whole)
Finally whole (whole)
