KHEMMIS - Gilded Chambers (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

Director: Alex Pace Editor: Ben Hutcherson LYRICS: Hot sand breeds time dilation–unfolding, serpentine The bitter sacrament that slithers through my mind Haunting the gilded chambers where rubies drip with wine Her obelisk of solace pulls me forth time after time Her offer is a salve that brings relief Treat my disease Dragged behind what binds us a light leaves our eyes In the shadow of redemption’s throne The ties that hide inside are siphoning my dying life Where vultures feed upon these forgotten bones Now desert champions play victim for the queen Her fire burns their skin They’re pawning memory for visions of the sea Entranced by faded sins Dragged behind what binds us a light leaves our eyes In the shadow of redemption’s throne The ties that hide inside are siphoning my dying life Where vultures feed upon these forgotten bones Smoke enshrouds the sun Leaving a fragile husk of pale, bloodless dreams Psalm hissing of fetid lust Ritual born in flame Cursed, pocked with sorrow, wounds weep eternal Profane liturgy These ancient emerald temples are where I make my peace So lay me down to sleep Chimeras stalking, I cannot breathe And she’s still calling me Dragged behind what binds us a light leaves our eyes In the shadow of redemption’s throne The ties that hide inside are siphoning my dying life Where vultures feed upon these forgotten bones Siphon my dying life Forgive our crimes These forgotten tones
