Wound

Lyrics:
I travel across these dreamscapes
In a cycle unbroken by time and reason
Like a cold gust of wind on an open wound
The feeling of coming home
I made your face the centerpiece in the gallery
That haunts my sleep
Your voice now leads the choir
To a melody without an end
This I carry
I cherish my share
I travel across these dreamscapes
And journey to those rooms again
I see everything where it should be
I am careful not to touch a thing
This I carry
I cherish my share
Your light prevails here
In my world built on blood

Wildfire

|
Lyrics:
A tireless climb
Fixated on the glow
Of the canon of mortal craft
You let it all pass you by
Come the day
This cultivated soil
Will be reclaimed
By dust and sand
To live for an enduring trace
Is a struggle to swim to shore at open sea
A life spent carving your name into trees
Beckons a wildfire
A cathartic sweep
On this tireless climb
The summit will collapse at sight
In striving to leave proof in your wake
Of your place as a tone in the static
You are grasping at straws while floating through space
You are a blaze in the path of a flood
Fixated on the glow
You let it all pass you by

Parasite
04:31
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
It has begun
The final act to an audience of one
By each breath cut short
Feel the presence shatter your very core
Meet its touch
Engraving your lungs
The cold unfolds
And unravels the coil
Hysteria
Exuding from your pores
Through the glass
No voice can carry
No remedy pervade
Evaporate
On feet forever rooted
Slipping in and out of consciousness
Disintegrate
With a mouth convulsing and muted
No words will ever speak of this

Circle
03:57
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Despair not
You immaculate sons and daughters
For we shall not stray
The circle will hold
The wicked be shunned
We shall prevail
Despair not
You children without blame
Without sin
For we shall prevail
The circle will hold
The wicked be shunned
We shall not stray
The circle holds
We shall let the rain beat the flesh off their bones

Observer
05:32
|

|
Lyrics:
The comfort of my ferocious neglect
The solace of this room that harbors it
I have enclosed myself inside this crypt
At times
A strained ear and the quietest of words
To loosen the hold of disarray
Faint sounds
The distant peal
Of a paradigm shift
Proving too real
Coward
Observer
Traitor
A watchful observer
Coward
Observer
Traitor
A faithful observer
At times
A cracked door and the narrowest of rays
To feed a foul curiosity
The hurried steps
Of silhouettes
In passing
At loss
So near
I slowly shut the door
Coward
Observer
Traitor
A watchful observer
We gave a voice to a putrid mouth
And now it’s all we ever hear
With the fever dream behind us
Can we begin again
Or is everything of value
Already petrified askew

Communion
03:06
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
A rapid sharp pulse shooting up the pathway
A neural supernova spewing rape and plunder
All you are and will ever be
And again you have come to me
A storm of grace and chemicals
Coursing through the bloodstream
My equal
My everything
I bear your mark on me
All you are and will ever be
In the end you always return to me
|

Famine
03:33
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
The tremors caught me sleeping
Dreaming of arrested time
The shapes and figures I see thereof
My hands dare not touch
My eyes in haste evade
The resuscitating pull
Of a world in flux at last
Usurping the story
Airing out the stagnant stench
Of a paralyzed past
The torrent tearing at the seams
Of a spineless stature
The suspended scenery
Of phantasmic form
Giving in under the tide
The uprooting of an insipid state
Leaving these shores awash with light
The torrent tearing at the seams
Of a spineless stature
Setting in motion
The ousting of the old

Feast
04:36
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
From here on out
Our trails depart
From this point on
You walk alone
By the skin of your teeth
You came through
In the dying light
Made the edge of the woods
Lay thee down for the night
Pledge thy life for the dawn
Under an indifferent sun
Can a mountain crumble
A rule of ruin come undone
Cut through the weeds
The binds that tie
You bear the seed
Of a different time

Downpour
04:22
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
A turn of the wheel
Ablaze
Cast out in motion
Perennial
Spitting out a spark
Stray and forlorn
Spawning an heir to a kingdom of moths
A pretender to an ashen throne
Shock and awe
The lay of the land
You are the downpour
Ravage this earth bare
A race far across a bruised plane
A maiden voyage toward untold abuse
This world owes you nothing
Shock and awe
The lay of the land
You are the downpour
Ravage this earth bare
This world owes you nothing
Yet you take everything
This world owes you nothing

Veins
05:33
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
With time you grew in courage
Like a wolfpack encircling its prey
And took a probing step
Off this beaten and weatherworn path
You drove your hands into the soil
And dug deep for the roots
Not to break nor to stir
But to trace back to the cause
Now with a sunken heart and blood up to your wrists
You sit watching the clouds settle and murk
What you once sought
Can never be found
For they run black
The veins of this earth
The pure of heart
Of spirit and soul
Fill every crevice and gorge
What you once had
Can never return
For they run black
The veins of this earth
