about
Illuminate is the second release from their upcoming album, HEX, a dark progressive collection of occult themed songs. “Even if I crawl as a lay under the weight of it all” was the song’s original title but it was shortened to Illuminate, as it’s meaning is about waiting for the pathway to appear while in a period of dark reflection.
lyrics
No more words, no more lies
I'll give it to you straight and apologise
I know your name and you are learning mine
I could help you breathe again, lift the load
Heavy with the weight of a fortune told
The stain of a world will keep you paralysed
Kiss the kids and tuck them in tight
We're gonna slip out in this early morning light
Tell our mother we were never kin, never were allies
Just overdue
Weep with me for the dreams that tore
You know I hold them close in a mind of thorns
A single seed of determination in this storm
We've never put a foot wrong so far love
Pull the knife from the page and step in the blood
I want to see every mark we leave upon this path
Oh, crack the shell of a long dead life
We're gonna slip out in that early morning light
Even if I crawl as I lay under the weight of it all
You're not gonna leave my world this way
You're not gonna leave my world this way
Waiting for the things that you may never say
You're not gonna leave my world this way
You can never rule if you never break
Waiting for the fractures to illuminate
You're not gonna leave my world this way
You're not gonna leave my world this way
Waiting for the things that you may never say
You're not gonna leave my world this way
You can never rule if you never break
Even if I crawl as I lay under the weight of it all
I'll give it to you straight and apologise
I know your name and you are learning mine
I could help you breathe again, lift the load
Heavy with the weight of a fortune told
The stain of a world will keep you paralysed
Kiss the kids and tuck them in tight
We're gonna slip out in this early morning light
Tell our mother we were never kin, never were allies
Just overdue
Weep with me for the dreams that tore
You know I hold them close in a mind of thorns
A single seed of determination in this storm
We've never put a foot wrong so far love
Pull the knife from the page and step in the blood
I want to see every mark we leave upon this path
Oh, crack the shell of a long dead life
We're gonna slip out in that early morning light
Even if I crawl as I lay under the weight of it all
You're not gonna leave my world this way
You're not gonna leave my world this way
Waiting for the things that you may never say
You're not gonna leave my world this way
You can never rule if you never break
Waiting for the fractures to illuminate
You're not gonna leave my world this way
You're not gonna leave my world this way
Waiting for the things that you may never say
You're not gonna leave my world this way
You can never rule if you never break
Even if I crawl as I lay under the weight of it all
