Metal Songs of the Day – Reflect Refract + Internal Illumination (Becoming the Archetype Month. Lyrics Included) From Celestial Completion

Reflect Refract + Internal Illumination by Becoming the Archetype are tracks #10 and #3 from Becoming the Archetype’s fourth full-length album, 2011′s Celestial Completion.

Two of the heaviest and most badass tracks from Celestial Completion are the songs Reflect & Refrect and Internal Illumination. Both songs are absolutely awesome and two of the heaviest songs on the entire album. Both of them are extremely intense. Enjoy!

Reflect Refract lyrics by Becoming the Archetype:

All the lights are burning bright
All our bodies taking flight
The shadows cast are evidence
There is a deeper world than this
Hearts like candles light the way
Turning darkness into day
Let us all this light absorb
Until at last we are no more
Yet I am just a prism
Ceaselessly refracting
All of the light you are exacting
Flesh dissolving in the light
Soaking the soul in radiation
The pathogens take hold at once
And begin the transformation
Father of lights
Shine upon us here
Take the darkness from our hearts
Make it disappear
Yet I am just a prism
Ceaselessly refracting
All of the light you are exacting
Reflect, refract
Break me
Remake me
A mirror that reflects your glory
Break me
Remake me
A mirror that reflects you perfectly

Internal Illumination lyrics by Becoming the Archetype:

ENGAGE!
Turn out the light
Internal illumination
And see, Earth is bright
With internal illumination
Internal illumination

Internal ILLUMINATION
Those who came before
Were only looking for decay
Forsaking and mistaking
What was hidden in their day

But now the veil is broken
The light is clearly seen
The lines begin to blur
And reveal what’s always been
Its RISING GROWING
And all our hearts are glowing
RAINING FLOODING
And we can feel it in our bones!
DON’T BELIEVE
YOUR EYES
DON’T ACCEPT
THE OBVIOUS
DON’T BELIEVE
YOUR EYES
DON’T ACCEPT
THE OBVIOUS
The light
Is growing BRIGHTER
Time is a face upon the water
The light
Is growing BRIGHTER
Time is a face upon the WATER
ENGAGE!
Turn out the light
Internal illumination
And see, earth is bright
With internal ILLUMINATION
INTERNAL ILLUMINATION
INTERNAL ILLUMINATION
Shadow veils perception
Breeds deception and false doubt
In the soil of assumption
Seeds of hopelessness are found

ETERNAL
ILLUMINATION

ETERNAL
ILLUMINATION
NO…..
MORE
Painting shadows
On the canvas of life

Drinking water
Out of wells that are dry, dry, DRY
Painting shadows
On the canvas of life

Drinking water
Out of wells that are dry, dry, DRYYY
NO MORE
Painting shadows
On the canvas of life
Drinking water
Out of wells that are Dry, DRY, DRYYYY

About Becoming the Archetype Month
February 2013 is dedicated to the Christian metal band Becoming the Archetype, arguably my favorite band (Along with Demon Hunter and The Showdown, both signed to Solid State Records) and follows January 2013 which was Demon Hunter Month. February will feature songs from BtA’s entire catalog featured daily throughout the month, one a day. Whether you like metal, believe in God or not, check these songs out as you may be pleasantly surprised and hopefully you will discover some new-to-your-ears music to enjoy. Becoming the Archetype’s sound is extremely heavy, and metalheads will be in Heaven. However all songs are deep with powerful lyrics that will make you think and ponder, as the sound takes you to new spaces between time and existence, Heaven and Hell. Enjoy!
