lyrics

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
