SHYLMAGOGHNAR - Follow The River (Official Video)

New album, Convergence, coming November 10, 2023! Video produced by Minghao Xu (Void Visuals) Lyrics …As the day becomes the night Torrents of water sing paeans of unnumbered lives Shattering the sophistry and drowning out the fading sense of I Underneath a swirling storm of vortices and passing microcosms Crushing currents grind the path within which flow the ravages of time Fractured though this world may feel, All becomes one when observed from the cracks in the seams How is it that this place feels so familiar? Contradiction never felt so sublime Welcoming hearth to what should be a stranger Why do I feel the scrutiny of billions of eyes? Where the waves meet with interference In their wake a pulse is formed On the crests I see the grimaces Of a million lives – untold Nothing left now, only dreams dwell and the moon murmurs layers of mesmer In the distance the rivers converge on one point Where innumerous streams into starlight conjoin Far beyond Ancient silence calls And the undertow whispers my name At the dawn demesnes break faces Silvery their brims align Where the azure ever chases Crimson hues yet undefiled I am with sprites which mimic my memories Tenderly dancing on the cusp of morn Silent their footfall, candour embracing Harken familiar inflections of the siren song Of a vastness which silences all And every note shakes my cognition Its verses forever uncoil and go on Each stanza formed and then unwritten All that remains is to follow the river Wander the path, overcome in times and times before I long back to flow with its waters so cold Aria which came forth from a dream Echoes in this labyrinth surreal When stretched in time, a single voice may seem Like the myriad of ghost notes heard within the whir of a river
