The Citadel
02:49
|
|||
I feel my life is slipping
I recognize the threat in you
The crisis calls for acting
To hierarchize all of you
I'm told we need a sacrifice
I'd rather it's not me but you
Your place is lower than my own
You're fucked no matter what you do
In fear we rise
To hail our walls
Right!
To worship the god
Who numbs our souls
Turn right!

Horseheaded Gods
04:19
|
|||
Linger on
Feel the pull from everyone
After image of their sound
Earthen tears rise from the ground
Raining backwards to the sky
Gather into copper clouds
My heaven is a brazen one
I will dismiss all my vows
To remain and
Split the clouds, reach out
To horseheaded gods and
Lay out all the parts
Asking how they fit
Confront the mother, the matrix of things to come
For every time we've died, every time we've carried on
I want to split

From a Flame
04:57
|
|||
As time runs
A trail alit , drawn in gasoline
Her embrace hurts
Fate marks onto our skins, a pyromancy queen
Still I know
The stream of her life
Beneath the earth is raging
But may she flow
Through an abyss of heavens
Where you deserve to go
So long you were kept waiting
Seep into the sun and I could feel the sun giving
The glimpse of a purpose, of a spontaneous meaning
Sewn along the seams of my existence,
A transient sight beyond a fabric of kinetics and aching
Suddenly everything around was only love combusting
But in the blink of an eye, a split second of redeeming
An erratic life, set ablaze, incandescent
The mistakes that I kept doused in accelerant
Eventually went burning
From the ashes
To the hammer
We were forged
From a flame
From the ore
To the smelter
We were born
Into fire

Absence I
02:11

7. |
||||
Under skies of amber
Above emerald waters
I am a vessel
Blazing my way over the sea
I am insensible
To the sorrows at shore
It is only in motion
That I can become a sanctuary
A stark leaden silence, and all the gods' mercy
As when we parted
The better of me
I entrusted to you
Unconditionally
To these wretched lands
Forlorn and dreary
When I come home
I'll be made whole again, reclaim every last part of me
I will return to you
I will return to you
I will return to you
My strength was a promise
Unraveling before you but
I will return to you
I will return to you
I will return to you
Even as a shipwreck
However I have to
Meanwhile I stay
Horizons lay clear
No heaven nor fear
Sailing my life away

Undergrowth
04:31
|
|||
The roots, the sap, the tendrils and resin
The undergrowth, the leaves is where it dwells
A longing for sense, yet lies therein
Its drive and allure, a bottomless well
For the beauty of it all just pulls me in
And I carry its life as the wear of my shell
And the joy of its sound riddles my skin
Where I end, where it begins, I could never tell

Unravel
06:26
|
|||
Crystals on skin
Ivy within
Patterns on me
A fabric to tear
Where have I been
Shell of a twin
Crumbles and gives
Showing things bare
When we fall
The skies unfold and
Shows the crease that
Ever wrings our soul
Release me now

Binary
04:32
|
|||
Everything is simple
There's only you and fear
The binary is rending
My souls in two halves clear
I want to break into dust
Dissolve into the ocean
But I see myself in you
And so i linger here
Did I fall apart
Are these depths or heights
To feel all that has gone
To trust what we've become
Anything you say
Is all I want to hear
Did I fall apart
Do I still have a heart
