Multitudes assemble I flee
For if masses are white I am the black
Fearing that they're coming for me
I tear out the pages of my own past
With every step closer to death, desolation, and fire
The stars above my path one by one
Take the form of circling vultures
Sifting through this paradigm of existence called life
Fire quenches thirst for justice
By it they seek my end
Until the day they find me the sun is my only judge
My roots grow deeper in the wild
Where soil is pure and so are the waters
So is my soul to this fabric
I wish to grow
I yearn to know

The Hastening Dark
04:40
|

As I survey the skyline
The sun breathes it's warmth upon me
It's glint upon the trees
Sparks glimmer in my eyes
It all is turning rusty orange
The moon begins to rise
And a chill is running through the wind
Playing at my torch
I thirst for empyrean azure
As the autumn twilight dies
The weight of the moon's allure
It brings me peace
The seasons come and go
With every passing moon
And as the sacks of flesh we wear
They pass as a sudden vapor

As the World Overturns

Insanity stirs against my rest
As the dark mistress of death
Jumps from off her crescent perch
And sinks her teeth into my neck
Secrets dissolve in fullness of day
But by the moon they've come to stay
Buried away under the water
Far from the reach of sons and daughters
Night may be a curse
But which came first the night or day
A secret in the verse
Of the song sung over humanity
The ground trembles beneath my feet
The earth is rolling underneath her shroud
And I am left alone
Alone to seek my own way now
My hands meet the glistening tree sap
Ignited by light of the full moon
Breathless and humble I stand
Among these bark armored warriors
I lay my roots

Sanctum Noctis
03:56
|

|
Eyes glow in the furrows of heaven
When dreams lay siege to gates of gold
A crescent fountain bleeds all power
A puppet hangs from its shining rivets
What spirit stirs my sleep tonight
Appear to me in fires light
Tell me this I wish to know
Are you friend or are you foe
By some unseemly circumstance
You've found me at your wills command
Tell me should I dare to follow
Would you return to me tomorrow
Should this be the worlds goodnight
Would we awaken side by side
Oh mystery enchanted silence
Tell me when the time is nigh
High above the tallest pine
Your cup is raised against all life
The winds have whispered of a dream
That this mortal man conceived
Sanctum noctis
Deep in the darkest dreamwell
Sanctum noctis
The darkness implores me to stay
My lantern dies and time slows pace
I douse the light and time escapes
The lotus burns into eternity
Where I will meet your misty eyes

A Walk of Grandeur
05:56
|
|||
|
The sun is rising in the east
A new day breathes the dawn
The misty heights of stone and ice
Welcome me with open arms
I stumble through a maze of trees
Searching for freedom
Far beneath the eagle's wings
Eclipsing the sun
My friends are made of bark and green
My enemies of flesh
My heart is filled with enmity
Thirsting for redemption
There is no sorrow to be found
Within this bloody vessel
My strength is rooted in the ground
It is within myself I wrestle
Oh for the sights I long for
Home I don't dare to call my own
For the fire deep inside me burns
Wherever my feet may go
For the sights I long for
Row until all there is to know
Has been discovered
And mysteries uncovered in this world
