Final Rest
05:45
|
|

The last unrest
Before my shattered hands on the pathway
Lies a battered name, a solemn stone
Into the raining wind's resistance
I see the faintest glow through the catacombs
Ever stretching outward from deep within me
From upon the essence I have known
I wonder
When will this ember grow
And flourish
To warm me before I go
This is my force, my silence
That I am borne alone
Blessings are poured upon me
As I find my rest in the snow
Within our fragile minds we strive to find a way
Seeking our eternal means of comfort
Our forged and feeble fears, our commitments
Scar our weighted wrists and wear our souls
Beyond the greatest halls, beyond illusion
There lies a solemn hope to end it all

I dreamt a sequence of light
Where ran all the colors together
The boundless rivers of rays washed over me
Guiding my misshapen soul through the doors
I was alive
For a moment in time
I was afraid
And then I was then stricken with energy
I was awake
Until I slipped back to life
I was a part of a whole
The moment was mine
Given, then taken away
Hanging between the realms that each tear at me
Staring the infinite right in the eye
Soaring on wings of amber and of grace
Consumed by the light as it takes me away from this place
Casting my limits aside
By unearthing the will of my soul
Discarding the flesh of the wicked and damned
Utterly naked yet warmed by the heavens

Dread and Despair
03:42
|
|
||
Fall through the hailing force around you
Heed every torment read aloud
Drawing it in and then pulling it all down
Until there's nothing left
Beyond the dread and despair, a seething Hell unbound
We have forgotten our own lives
The emptiness consumes until our spirits do collide
We fall in line
Breaking our own bodies, our own minds
Stronger than our fallen Gods
Are those who break the bonds
Calling for all severed from the sun
A darkened light so bright it scares the stars
And all those in light of the sky
Descending from the heavens as its born

Hungering Runes
04:09
|
|
||
Torn asunder, cast aside
Upon the empty shoreless tides
Broken and starved for life
Longing for the struggle and the strife
The blade consumes all
Waiting for the hunger to subside
Carrying the souls and stories in its eye
Before the last day it will rise
Wait for the suffering inside
To take control of all you are in life
Head every whisper and decide
Whether to listen or to die
Drained of all but hate
Discarded and left for waste
The prophets of blinding rage
Are coming to take you away
Find yourself before your time
Or become consumed by the tide
Heed every whisper and decide
Whether to listen or to die

Valley of the Dreamless
04:29
|
|
||
Wanting for a home
The shadows call me beyond the stars
And rip apart my soul
There is no lesser grain of hope
Than the void which I am left in
There is no calling nor severance
Upon this ill-fated existence I live
The air is thick with the remnants of the past
As I am left in the valley of the dreamless
Through torture and violence
We have provided ourselves with a home
Though we never considered
Our future would wither after we are gone
Now there is no reason
To wander the trees, no reason to roam
All has been discovered
Through plagues that have smothered the shadows and bone
Falling into my own despair
Accepting my place beneath the stars
I wish the light would come and take me
As its taken all I love
There is no calling nor severance
Upon this ill-fated existence I live
The air is thick with the remnants of the past
As I am left in the valley of the dreamless

Beyond the Blood and Ash
04:45
|
|
||
To wake up and fail to see beyond what I can reach
In terror, in a panic of existence
The rain and snow is striking fiercely, hard against my skin
While blurred and burning light is firmly pressing from above
I reach out to wipe away the spattered specs of heaven
And tremble to feel them in my fingers
I call on all the courage my collapsing heart can muster
And draw my hands within my faded sight
What is this that taints my flesh, what has come to pass
The essence that falls upon this land is that of blood and ash
What has happened
Why can't I remember
Can anybody hear me
Through these red rains of December
These forsaken times
And all the taken lives
I am left without home or solace
By relentless forces Godless
Far beyond the breach where no hope of men can reach
I push through all the pain up to my feet
Though I can barely stand, I still remain a man
Though weakened and blackened by the sleet
I cry, though no oneβs there to hear me

Dead Realm
05:20
|
|
||
Cold waves
On grey shores
Empty vessels wander and souls speak
Unliving lands, empty strands
Old spirits bound to youthful flesh that cannot age
Men of women of ice in these shadow lands
Where no mortal can find the gate
Memories haunt like dark specters
Ink black waters call to the realm of the dead
Take me there
My heart has already left
No thoughts to feel
No wounds to heal
No life to live
No love to give
This body remains, but my soul has found a way
A last dusk shall come
And may the sun never rise
Take my body away
To black waters
Take my heart away
To the realm of the dead
