Calcinatio — Lilith Dominion

CALCINATIO — Lilith Dominion
The second movement of Mythic Ascension

Calcinatio is sustained fire.

Where Nigredo dissolves identity, Calcinatio applies constant heat to what remains. Nothing dramatic happens here. There is no collapse, no release, no transcendence. This stage is about endurance — holding pressure long enough for excess to reveal itself.

The fire in Calcinatio is not chaotic. It is disciplined, relentless, and precise. Ego does not explode; it curls, thins, and burns away quietly. What cannot endure is exposed. What survives begins to harden.

Vocally, language still holds — but it is reinforced by sound. Wordless tones and sustained vocalizations appear not as ritual or invocation, but as support under pressure. The voice does not fail; it adapts.

Musically, the song maintains a steady forward pulse. Riffs repeat without release. Drums hold a constant drive. The furnace stays hot.

Calcinatio does not purify.
It prepares.

Lyrics

Verse I
I do not enter the fire blind.
I feed it what resists.

Pride cracks first.
Fear follows.
Names blister under breath.

This flame is not chaos.
It is pressure
applied without mercy.

Refrain
Burn the excess.
Burn the lie.
What cannot endure
was never mine.

Was never mine.

Verse II
The heat stays constant.
No surge.
No collapse.

Ego curls into smoke.
Desire thins to signal.
The false core hisses and breaks.

I do not scream.
I do not flee.
The fire knows
what to take.

Refrain
Burn the excess.
Burn the lie.
What cannot endure
was never mine.
Burn the excess.
Burn the lie.
What cannot endure
was never mine.

Bridge
Hold the flame.
Do not release it.

Let it eat
every borrowed instinct.
Every reflex that begged for shelter.

No witness.
No drama.
Only combustion
without story.

Verse III
What survives this heat
no longer trembles.

The body learns
a new center.

I am not purified yet.
But I am emptied
of what weakened me.

Final Refrain
Find the excess.
Burn the lie.
What cannot endure
was never mine.
Burn the excess.
Burn the lie.
What cannot endure
was never mine.


Outro
The fire does not finish me.
It prepares
what comes next.

The fire does not finish me.
It prepares
what comes next.
