Beneath Predatory Skies
06:38

My soul, beneath the darkened sky
Lingers within this dream
Where my thoughts, left to die
Washed by the waters of your stream
Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Do you see or hear me?
Play the part, of sadness' host
How can I count upon thee?
Long has paled that darkened sky
Echoes fade and memories burn
Autumn frosts have watched me die
Still haunts this predatory sky
A spirit I cannot touch
Never seen by waking eyes
Never held too much
In a state of death they lie
Dreaming as the days pass on
Dreaming as the seasons die
Where flowers whither and burn
Life, what is but a dream?
Such a vision as this

This Life Was Not a Gift
06:59
|

Life, hold true, this is not a dream
They are images of your future self
Like years, washed away by the rain
Give solace, as the day turns to night
Clouds of despair haunt my waking hours
Changing with my turbulent soul
Giving life to those who linger
We lament the fall once more
The sunrise left me wanting
Life's hours now forgotten
Buried, I hunger for death
My lingering respect for life
And when Death calls to seek you out
And beckons you from your slumber
What thought must give to sorrow
That hope has long since departed
Never to return, and never in your mind
Unconquered, though we all shall fall
This life was not a gift
I never had the choice
Without pain, there is no fear
Hold your arms aloft
For in vicious victory
We all dwell in despair
This life was not a gift
This life was not for you
This life was not a gift
It was not for you

Faithful has been your commitment to God
A fearless cause, blinded to reason
One hand in prayer, the other to destroy
Vengeance is His, upon the soul of man
God’s pain silent to godless souls
They have shunned you once again
The sun speaks to me, while I dream
Its countenance too severe
Full of wrath, I prey at night
While the Horsemen make their plans
The stedfast Empyrean
All but the throne of God
Before him, the plagues
One Spirit on this throne
Among the accursed
And of their vigour left them drained
This crystal wall of Heaven
Down from the verge of eternity
Burned by the touch of God

The Journey's End
05:50
|
|||
All of these deaths still haunt me
They bleed into my soul
A thousand faces, all in horror
The pale shadow grows
Swallowing all that's light
With mountains left to climb
My open eyes see nothing
The world unlit by faith
Shadows cross the ashes of men
Leave no trace of pain
They pray for God to spare them
These lonely souls will die
These lonely souls will die
These lonely souls they die
Light traces this horizon
Leaving night in its path
Fear replaces their words
A gesture of suffering
Everything that tied me to life
Is now distant
Fading into this journey's end
These dead souls cannot rise

After the Sun
05:31
|
|||
Light breaks where no sun shines
Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart
Push in their tides
And, broken ghosts with luminous souls
The things of light through the flesh where lies the bones
A candle in the darkness warms the mind and burns the seed
Where no life stirs the birth of our stars on fire
Bright as the day the waxing moon shines bright
Light breaks on your secrets
On tips of thought, left in the rain
Reflected in the clouded eyes
And blood jumps in after the Sun has faded
The colour of spring is fading
The colour of spring is fading
The colour of spring is fading
Light breaks on your secrets
On tips of thought, left in the rain
Reflected in the clouded eyes
And blood jumps in after the Sun has faded

Such fever of sound came unto my thought
Among the shadows the darkness brought
The steady rhythm, such horrors in mind
Nothing left, no spectre to find
In bleak December, my memory awoke
As dying spirits, given words hath spoke
For I wish tomorrow, will bring me peace
No more sorrow, forgiveness I seek
I am nameless
Given to darkness
In terminal sorrow, where I dwell
There is no forgiveness, just emptiness
My soul grows stronger, though it hesitates
It's forgiveness, my spirit placates
Darkness is here, and nothing more
I will wander forevermore
Deep in nightside, stood in fear
Such doubting dreams, I do not seer
Whisper silence, unbroken sleep
No more sorrow, forgiveness I seek
I am nameless
Given to darkness
In terminal sorrow, where I dwell
There is no forgiveness, just emptiness
Back to the dream I'm turning
All my Soul, within me burning
A mystery, and nothing more
This nameless body, before me speaks
As if to strengthen, what once was weak
And shall my body be nothing more
I am nameless
Given to darkness
In terminal sorrow, where I dwell
There is no forgiveness, just emptiness
Only suffering
We all must die
Your past life
A truth or lie
Your past life
A truth or lie
