What Elephant? - What Happens If I Lose My Soul?

We must surely go the way of the waters
Collective unconscious
The Shadow-head watches
The flickering torches
Upon the cave walls
Primordial theater
The rhyme and the meter
The chanting repeater
Implanting the call
Your illuminati
The sacrament body
Still swaying and rotting
This idol they've hung
Invoked but not spoken
The spell goes unbroken
Persisting in twisting
The serpentine tongue
The whole fantasy conceived
Only to prevent you from asking
What happens if I lose my soul?
What happens if I lose my soul?
What happens if I lose my soul –
When the light behind my eyes
And the will to survive
Is consumed by it
Entombed by it?
Descending to madness
The paint of the canvas
Drips into the chalice
To drink and deform
The cloak comes unraveled
Revealing the jackal
That lifts up the gavel
To judge the unborn
It's astral projecting
The spirit bisecting
Dimensionless melding
Of pleasure and pain
Where animals slumber
In unceasing hunger
The mind cast asunder
And smothered in vain
The message etched
In the hourglass sand
Written by the finger
Of a phantom hand saying
What happens if I lose my soul?
What happens if I lose my soul?
What happens if I lose my soul –
When the light behind my eyes
And the will to survive
Is consumed by it
Entombed by it?
The devil within
The clouded eye;
The microchip
Baptismal rite
Gnashing of teeth
The fading light;
Held beneath
Mark of the Beast
Take me to the nadir of the cave
Save me enslave me
Take me to the temple you made
Save me enslave me
