Where Sky Lays Buried
08:44

When seen in sunlight you stole away
Where bathed in shadow this road would stray
Where held in reverie, or is it disdain
This path is only the road where you’re slain
What seems familiar is so they say
The path you travel on burning day
Until these seconds exhume the way
Where sky lays buried neath soil and clay
Would it lead through shadow will it rise and strain
Would it widen out of the upheld veil of the stain
Would it lead through fallow of field
And fall as the reign
Would it lead the arrow of time through shadow
Shimmering glade
Refracting the shade
Essence unmade
Winged in fray
For crumbling stone
And need to attone
And wars overflown
Are only your own
Are they to feign
Along with the stain
Hold to true south where the left leading struggle will flow as a tide
Stagger through flames as they reach for the sky
Hold anew wind neath these wings that have bled from your glistening sides
Taken the air as the path is aglide
But there in the distance behold a dark mountainous breach of the plane
It Calls to the air as it welcomes the slain
For what seems unending
Is decay in a frequent incline
Where gravity shackles your footsteps
Through a passage you struggle to find
Would the edges now fray in the bramble
Where the foot falls on root laden twine
Where the forms now encluster the shadow
Where the nettles take hold of this narrowing way
Here the pathway will only decline
An end of passage a leave from rage
Will still elude you through journeys age
But there awaiting neath leaves of sage
The words of prophet thus bound in page
The words of prophet thus bound in page
Will words of prophet now fall away
With no more struggle to know the fray

Thus Bound in Page
05:22
|

“Not the sap beneath the furrowed bark
Nor a wing attached to a claw
But rather a garden forever in bloom
Or angels forever in flight
Beauty is life, when life unveils her holy face
But you are life and you are the veil”
“As the stone must break
That it’s heart may stand in the sun
Caged taking wing, fein would have you sing
With fullness of heart not lost in the song
Night bound eyes are blind, blind unto the day
From river of silence will you you indeed sing”
For the words upon the cherished page
And the wings that are only to fall
The gathering garden is ever the doom
When angels will vanish from flight
Beauty is light, when light unveils her holy rays
But you are light, wherever you stray
And you are night and vanishing day
And you are flight if ever you fray

The Flame's Intent
07:13
|

Less the way will be but more familiar than prophet’s cries
Stole you with the web of no surprise
Comfort in the screams familiar shadow and waves of fire
Less the path you seek than your desire
Able body low and woe to fill your disdain of ire again
Wrap within the web the savior’s end
Where wings thus wrought in flame again
May burn under sun less the name
When singed you sought to claim the end
Where turned left the pathway still to bend
Through days thus fought
The same to fend
To earn frail of mortal cares they send
...where singed...we sing...
...we are singed...we sin...
Left the path you seek and more familiar
Sold you with the flesh
Left the path you seek and more familiar
Told the path you bled
Left the path you seek and so familiar
Hold to where you led
Left the path you seek and more familiar
Hold the path that bled
Left the path you seek and more familiar
Sold you where they fled
For sin thus taught the flames intent
These burning tales immortal hail descent
Where wings thus wrought in flame again
May burn under sun less the name
When singed you sought to claim the end
Where turned left the pathway still to bend

Ideation
21:27
|

Deviation
Out beyond the twisted poles
Idol nation
Will fall below terrestrial fold
Cracks enable
And strain to twist you where they writhe
Realization
Is this the scream you cast aside
Ideation
Where cracks deceive a broken soul
Ideation
Ideation
Where cracks receive an open soul
Ideation
...all…
...are…
...none…
Bleed twisted sun
For where it's now begun
Behold seething one
When all is said and done
Rise and strain neath sickened rays
Would it lead through tales of black of black embrace
Where lies only kill
For over the blackest chill
Eyes away sight unseen
For over the dead in dream
Skies once grey singe as one
No other to count as done
Time in fade shackle gone
So cover the find and linger on
Eye in shade mass in ton
Forever will be undone
Breach on rise...unfold
Cleave from lies...untold
Freed from tide and cold
Seed divide...behold
