doppelganger - hands of despair lyrics

memory’s faint
a dark and musty place
drapes beyond the door:
“what’s this you’re lookin’ for?”

stepped inside the tent
“come hither, my friend.”
she sits me on the floor:
“found you what was looked for?”

the master shakes it in her hands
marked with the runes of foreign lands
a handful of blackened telling bones
divining times and tales forlorn

she lets them roll unto the rug
a wicked smile and then, a shrug
for what she reads upon the bones:
“a rancid omen”, said the crone

she then proceeds to grab my hand
place it upon a withered deck
of tarot, wrought with runes inscribed
divining fates with astounding sight

the draw of figures, one by one
the table set, oh! ancient gods
to peer and see what past has said
what present writes, what future held
turn the cards
heed the call
turn the cards
reveal what the fates have ordained
heed the call
the hermit pulls you inward

ascendancy, self is shown
delving much deeper inside
eight engraved cups of stone
drink from the wisdom inside

turn the cards
heed the call
turn the cards
obey what the fates have arranged
heed the call
the hermit pulls you inward

materiality, worth is shown
finding the riches inside
eight engraved cups of stone
consume the nectar inside

this is i, / this is you…
cards won’t lie. / tell the truth!
what have i learned from the reading?
peering through, / what was seen?
sensing you / please tell me!
yet, strange enough, seeing myself!
turned away, / in the end…
gone astray, / ‘round the bend…
constant for lifetimes and lifetimes!
eight of cups / eight of cups?
unfulfilled / unfulfilled!
eternal inner search for peace

denied, never to find true bliss
a hunger that’s never-ending

this is you, / this is i?
through and through / cards won’t lie
forever leaving constructs behind
peering through, / what was seen?
sensing you / please tell me!
yet,strange enough, seeing yourself!
this is i, / this is you?
cards won’t lie. / tell the truth!
what have i learned from the reading?
eight of cups / eight of cups?
unfulfilled / unfulfilled!
eternal inner quest for peace

denied, never to find true bliss
a hunger that’s never-ending

thus it comes to this, the awakening
it’s yourself staring in your eyes!
now it falls to this, the realisation
he’s yourself standing in front of you!
it all comes to this, the awakening
it’s yourself staring in your eyes!
it was all for this, the realisation
he’s yourself standing in front of you!
so it comes to this, the awakening
it’s yourself staring in your eyes!
and it falls to this, the realisation
he’s yourself standing in front of you!

seek the core for the vein and take it out
seek the core for the vein, pull it out
find the source of the vein and rip it out
find the source of the vein and tear it apart
