White Ashes
06:35
|
|||
Snow falls
Without a sound
From a high castle
Built on sand
By day the flames burned
With red embers
By night the fires died
As rained, white ashes
In the silence
The storm is approaching
Turn from the wind
Secede
Crossing the river wide
Holding out an open hand
That is not taken
And turned
Aside
Snow
Falls without a sound
From a high castle
Built upon sand
As ashes released from a cask scatter
May the soil made clay
Make the shivering all fade away
May this detritus make plain
That our story could make way
As the last fading hope dies
In the face of the sun
All your demons shall guide the way
Tremble
Before Thine
Castle

Nightfall

Oh fading sun
Why does your light cower
Before the oncoming of the moon
As dusk descends
in a caviled smile
of silver light
Extolled only by
Phantoms in the night
May I remember
Moonflowers
To walk unseen, truest freedom
Offering reverence to forgotten fauna
May I remember the still found in the black
Judgement dissolved
This world a haven
Once more
Nurtured at the source
My soul takes flight
Into the blessed night
Burrowed in a hollow tree
Cut out my eyes
Repudiate
The languid gnashing of day
Such stillborn dreams
Inside a womb of thorns
The promise of the sun
Bury the promise of the sun
Bury
Bury
Oh fading moon
Why must your shadow cower
Before the judgement
Of the sun

Predatory corm
Incubating in the earth
inflorescence dreams
Nurtured by the worms
A tower extends
As so begins
An era of caustic necrosis
As light from above
Scalds through the stone
Death shall come again in droves
This jungle a chorus
Of hunter and prey
Hiding from the madness
Imposed
Hissing of the serpent
Bellow of the croc
Chuffing of the tiger
Exalt
Where only beasts may dwell
So doth your feral roots as well
Unfolding spathe
Opens the eye
Mouth of crimson
Stretches wide
Malodorous bloom
Sends out the call
To carrion creatures now to spawn
Oh moss covered, sun drowned
Nursery of vampires
Exhume divine
Remembrance
Oh Avian carriers
Scatter the splendor
Exhume divine
Remembrance

Tongueless
06:53
|
|||
Soft sheen of a riptide
None ever see
Transposed as a melody
Of unhindered words
You left me here, blind
No candle in this forest night
You left me here, blind
Tongueless she scatters
Hyacinth flowers
Violet as sundown
Muted, shadow companion
Walks along side us
Silently binds us
As leaves are thrown
To forest floors
As leaves we lie and wait
To be carried away
Sleepless my soul
As silhouette of your memory
Dances behind my eyes
Romance of stolen glance
A sinful plead to cast aside
The numbing cold, of mortal entrapment
Necromantic Lullaby
You Left me here blind, no candle in this forest night, you left me here blind
As leaves are blown
To forest floors
As leaves we lie still and wait
For cold winds to carry us away
Your shadow holds my hand, black melody fills in my lines
Your shadow holds my hand, this sorrow leads me

Waxing Crescent
05:30
|

Slipping softly through the sky
Little horned, happy moon,
Can you hear me up so high?
Will you come down soon?
On my nursery window-sill
Will you stay your steady flight?
And then float away with me
Through the summer night?
Brushing over tops of trees,
Playing hide and seek with stars,
Peeping up through shiny clouds
At Jupiter or Mars.
I shall fill my lap with roses
Gathered in the milky way,
All to carry home to mother.
Oh! what will she say!
Little rocking, sailing moon,
Do you hear me shout — Ahoy!
Just a little nearer, moon,
To please a little boy.
Lady luna, maiden of sky
No longer empty, creating new light

Scorched Earth
04:35
|

Fire devours the land
Pestilence spreads
Across an ashen waste
Leaving nothing
But dust
Our earth is scorched
Swaddled in conflagration
Searing all eyes
From scarcely glimpsing divine
We took the soil
Turning all to sand
A blackened land
Of once home
Clay in the hand
Are we any more than
Clay in the hand
Are we any more than
Dust
Dust of the earth
Born astride the grave
Now the leading instrument
In an anthem of flames
Choking life prances
In silver mirage
Seaking peace from civil slaughter
Clay in the hand
Are we any more than
Clay in the hand
Are we any more than
Fresh born eyes looking out
Coal trees
Emerging emerald
Could our shame be enough
To bury us

Open Skies
06:42
|

Stories whispered
Of a blood that washed clean
All horrors of our past and present
To make us pure again
Alkaline solution
Promised to heal
Suffocating the protrusion
Leaving but a shell
Poison running through her veins
Bleeding into every precious cell
Alkaline solution
Promised to heal
Suffocating the protrusion
Leaving but a shell
Poison running through her veins
Bleeding into every precious cell
She takes a stolen breath to hear his voice once more
Child, fragile, waits to see the sun come home
Collapsing feeble hands feel silence echo through the room
Her shining, borrowed light, flickers out
Hand in hand here we are, waiting for
A final gust of wind
Frozen by her eyes, frigid bedside
A plead to come alive
If I had known this crown of thorns would wrap around her
Would I ever have prayed to you?
Still here I stare into open skies
Break through the lid, bend firmament, show me why to believe in you
As here I stare
Climb Down, Climb Down, Climb Down From Heaven
As here I stare
