When It Comes
03:28
|
|||
Here lie those dreaded faults to behold, of true and of not
embedded in our tale unbegot
Stones hold their energy and some stars speak in code
Forgetting that their words travel slow
I feel the waning breadth of your loathe
When it comes
I sense the depths from which we emerge
When it comes
I see the shackles hang that bound for so long
And when it comes, we've just begun
When it comes
There hang the ripened fruits of our hope
run through like a host; a calloused soul that begs for the just
Beholden there we'll loom and grow, unknown and untouched
Unbroken still, we shelter as such
I feel the waning breadth of your loathe
When it comes
I sense the depths from which we emerge
When it comes
I see the shackles hang that bound for so long
And when it comes, we've just begun
When it comes, When it comes
In the weighted air, in the ashen flare
we brace against the absolute
In the weighted air, in the ashen flare
we brace against the absolute
I feel the waning breadth of your loathe
When it comes
I sense the depths from which we emerge
When it comes
I see the shackles hang that bound for so long
And when it comes, we've just begun
When it comes, When it comes

Sacrosanct
03:45
|
|||
And through the night
And to a morning bright
Rise from sleep
And from the cross we keep
Turns the earth
Movements that break a curse
Sight and sound
This touch that we have found
And I taste the salt upon your skin
Comes the fading day
Amongst the faults we've lain
In your breaking dawn
Falls then the tower, gone
Comes the fading day
Lightens a path we've traced
From the breaking dawn
Rings now a grateful song
Sings the crow
Our songs that melt the snow
Cries the wolf
Echoes that ring a truth
Turns the earth
Movements that break a curse
Sight and sound
This touch that we have found
And I taste the salt upon your skin
Of the codes we keep
the spoils we reap
Sacrosanct, of other worlds

A New Atonement
03:13
|
|||
A crawlspace of dreams and haunts
somnambulescence halts
Imprints of light and dark, we walk on. walk on
Faultlines that crack the heart
A mimicry of life and art
We meditate the state of our form and walk on
When the four winds stall
When the sirens call
When the sky breaks open, what there may fall?
Here rise a judgment song
Base ruminations stalk
Voices to rhyme and talk
Mete out a justice broke of our rock, our hearth
Fallen to knee they beg
Swept of a faulty leg
Jaundiced, corroded necks on a block, now chopped
When the four winds stall
When the sirens call
When the sky breaks open, what there may fall?
our insurrection song
With Universal law
adrift in myths of vengeance
Another kind of midnight
blackens our skies
When the four winds stall
When the sirens call
When the sky breaks open, what there may fall?
When the heavens ring
and the celestials sing
When the sky breaks open, what there may fall?
our retribution song

World On Fire
04:08
|
|||
Bleak skies hanging over us now
Scorched earth gathers under our feet
Soft hearts clamour still to belong
Our sinking ever bound to disdain
Remain, resist- gasp of a caustic mist
Remit, regain- to weigh release or pain
Turns the sullen eye, braced of stark denial
Ignore the failing breath of a world on fire
Amidst a heavy wind, looms a faith beguiled
Won't face the fading breath of a world on fire
Our grief, losses spent to the earth
an atmospheric stench of decay
Rise from deceit, defined of remorse
To tame this poison cost of delay
Remain, resist- gasp of a caustic mist
Remit, regain- to weigh release or pain
Turns the sullen eye, braced of stark denial
Ignore the failing breath of a world on fire
Amidst a heavy wind, looms a faith beguiled
Won't face the fading breath of a world on fire
An errant wisp of smoke
raised from an ember small
Whose choice to breathe or choke-
as the fires rage?
Turns the sullen eye, braced of stark denial
Ignore the failing breath of a world on fire
Amidst a heavy wind, looms a faith beguiled
Won't face the fading breath of a world on fire

The Northern Cross
03:40
|
|||
In the morning frost, I see the northern cross
I breathe the thawing air of their pulse
In surrounding mist, by other worlds we're kissed
Encroaching evermore through the dark
Crossed the the star-strewn bliss as I -
gazed of the endless straits
Vastness, eternal void of our hearts
Under the Northern Cross
Lights of the Northern Cross
Reach for the Northern cross as it shine
This the mortal coil, meant to grind an toil
or meant to learn and grow and evolve
Life duplicitous, polarized and missed
Twist the split perspective we've known
Crossed the the star-strewn bliss as I -
gazed of the endless straits
Vastness, eternal void of our hearts
Under the Northern Cross
Lights of the Northern Cross
Reach for the Northern cross as it shine
From the blue-ish swirl, we traverse this world
Through the depths and heights have I gone with you
Yours the open view- amongst the hidden few
a path revealed, rejoiced and less tread upon
Crossed the the star-strewn bliss as I -
gazed of the endless straits
Vastness, eternal void of our hearts
Under the Northern Cross
Lights of the Northern Cross
Reach for the Northern cross as it shine

The Earthen Call
03:27
|
|||
Follow my aim
As I fire again
No fault, no blame
No hearts defamed
Circle the solemn grounds of our haste
(Decayed)
True words, true grace
Beckoned to stay
You hear the earthen call
And feel my burning touch
We heed the chill of fall
Welcome the day as such
Confess the hidden oaths we've pledged for so long
Embrace the earnest days that follow us home
Upon your waking breath
Your voice that finds us blessed
Something has crept inside of our hearth
Ascending mist of light
Captures your form just right
And I am enveloped in your glow

Embraced
03:55
|

A season only cold as the sun dictates
A dawn breaks ever lit as a globe rotates
The space between the surface of soil and fire
Distance beyond the grace of a raging pyre
Again, we scale the breadth of our truth
The only wasted light is the one not seen
The only squandered path is the one we flee
We scale the depths and heights of a cruel embrace
The only fading truth is the one not gleaned
Am I waiting there, just for you?
The stark reality of a stone-etched fate
A movement cognizant as our will relates
Existence subject to pervading fails
A frail duality of joy and despair
Again, we scale the walls of our truth
The only wasted light is the one not seen
The only squandered path is the one we flee
We feel the depths and heights of a warm embrace
The only fading truth is the one not gleaned
Am I waiting there, just for you?
We've plumbed the chasm deep
traversed the frozen keep
We've walked the ocean floor
and begged the Gods for more
We've touched the precious few
And cut the deepest blue
We've kissed the bleakest pale-
pierced the elusive veil of our truth
Who knew we'd make it through?
The only wasted light is the one not seen
The only squandered path is the one we flee
We plumb the depths and heights of a dual embrace
The only fading truth is the one not gleaned
Am I waiting there, just for you?

Tithes & Offerings
04:26
|
|||
As I am the sea, and I am the night
I am the soil that absorbs the light
I am without
I can feel the weight. I can breathe the mist
As I am the ashes left of your kiss
I am alone
Of the oceans deep, and the waters stark
I am the hungry sky that hangs dark
and I have no end
Waking here, drawing near
I am at once with the night as I roam
Falling here, drawing near
I am at once with the sea and I roam
As I am the lamb, and I am the sheep
I am the sullen sparrow that weeps
for his keep
As I can walk the earth, and I can sail the sky
I feel the heights and depths as she cries
so hear my words
Waking here, drawing near
I am at once with the night as I roam
Falling here, drawing near
I am at once with the sea and I roam, untold
(prepare for this)
A ceaseless mystery yet unfolds for all
Threshed of the barren hold
Hopes torn asunder cold
Distilled of a mastery and all we call our own
Threshed of the barren hold
Hopes torn asunder cold
Distilled of a mastery and all we call our own
Waking here, drawing near
I am at once with the night as I roam
Falling here, drawing near
I am at once with the sea and I roam

If I am the Wrath
03:08
|
|||
Tried to make away, tried to rise above
Tried to face the day, tried to scale the walls
West a bleeding dusk, east a rising sun
Freed of all restraint, fight the need to run
Chase the altar true, crystalline and pure
Lift the altar razed, risen to endure
Risk the trodden day, risk is underfoot
So lay me down
If I am the wrath, my vengeance pure
If I am the wrath, forged to endure
If I am the wrath they must run toward the sea
I lay the ash of those who fail to flee

You are the porcelain, you are the waking dream
You've seen everything to be true
Beneath the veil, your thoughts and will prevail
become real under the blue
This magic swells to ebb in a new abyss
This magic comes to fruit with a fleeting kiss
Cool whispers moving in for the kill
Below the raging sky have I railed for you
beacons of near and nigh may ignite the truce
Shout toward the heavens high
Did you hear my plea?
Petition the frail moonlight and we're free again
What is the secret here? Incant bereft of fear
Reciting psalm amidst a pale moon
Those that assail, you weave between their hale
Stoneset, casting novel new rule
This magic swells to ebb in a new abyss
This magic comes to fruit with a fleeting kiss
Cool whispers moving in for the kill
Below the raging sky have I railed for you
beacons of near and nigh may ignite the truce
Shout toward the heavens high
Did you hear my plea?
Petition the frail moonlight and we're free again
Petition the frail moonlight and we're free again
