KUKO - Chapter 2: The Ritual lyrics

Chapter 2: The Ritual
You can barely see any light
Yet, you know immediately you are not alone
Slowly, you look around
Memories, thoughts, experiences
Hanging from your body like chains
The riders have a firm grip on you
They do not speak and yet, you understand them
Each of them carries something
Something familiar, something you bury deep within yourself
You are bound inescapably
You begin pulling at the chains
Reality starts to break apart
Images distort, voices grow louder
You scream
And with you everything breaks open
It is what you once were
What you tried to suppress
And it leaves you
The chains fall away
The riders disappear
A motionless body remains behind
Drained, exhausted
The ritual is over
Yet, you are still not alone
A blinding light consumes your vision
And you vanish into the white
