An Offering

An Offering

these are offerings forgiven to the eye of spirits and law
intrinsic fire witness the time of iron
reflections of the snake
reflections of the tree

chaos fills our landing, the wizard points to the one
the cup is poisoned, the crime has risen
the ship carries us to the crimson soul
in our yard we found some bones
the child is whole
inside are pictures of the future war
outside

in tide i came to feel your heart
and rise to believe our need to know
in time i gave to instill our world
to recieve our...

Sovereign

Sovereign

Her rain is black rust
And melts down heavy on dreaming heads
It cuts through
ÿ
She floods the haunting roads of the past
Like the dark night embraces a shadow
ÿ
A fold in time brings her madness
Worn from and age from wars
A sovereign pain
ÿ
A will tattered by a thousand storms
An explosion of memories echo in the skull
ÿ
Faith in this will bring us all to her
We will know and feel all that is real

The Tide

The Tide

Where are they now?
They are gone.
I saw them run,
run to the sea.

Under the waves all has been said.
Their voices are free.
Free from the sun's stare,
free from the noise of lost souls.

An exiled sound washed in with the tide.
Their voices are free.
Free from the sun's stare,
free from the noise of lost souls.

On the waves their voice carries on.

From The Hill

From The Hill

From the hill - I've been watching - stealing the light.

In my dreams I touch animal blood rich earth swallow it down deep into my soul.

It feeds her war and raises my true nature. When I awake I am whole.
All the gods are screaming.

My feet of clay lead me on through the void and far beyond
to demonstrate my will and path, to embrace the wolf in her glory.

All hail her and wash this time in blood.
The horizon will burn, rise in fire and return to us.

A Sun That Never Sets

A Sun That Never Sets

A sun that never sets burns on.
New light is this river's dawn.

When to speak of a word so old
is to relearn what is known.
A time to think back and move on.
Rebuild the loves of lives long gone.

The blood that flows through me is not my own.
The blood is from the past, not my own.
The blood that leads my life is not my own.
The blood is strength, I'm not alone.

Falling Unknown

Falling Unknown

With the wind at your back and the light in your eyes,
the freeze of your blindness will show.

Under the cloud cover, the flares signal change.
Will you ever know?

The fields they are burning, the smoke chokes your breath.
Will you stand or run?

You dream of a mountain, the peaks rise to the sky.
Will you answer its call?

Is your heart still beating? Can you feel this at all?
This landslide will bury us all.

With the storm on your mind and the clouds in your eyes,
will you survive?

Lie in wait, I will lie awake.
Falling through a world unknown.

Crawl Back In

Crawl Back In

Hammer in skull I am waiting to return your suffering.
In my mind I see you distant, broken and lost again.

When you come back I won't know you.
We won't fit right like it was before.
Time is truth, hard and cruel
and my heart has turned to stone.
I crawled back in, I am hungry,
I made sure my traps are set in space.

We had been standing on these tracks,
all the winds never called us back.

We laid so long, eternal night, in my heart it never left.
I'll stand here, you go on, when you see me I'll be gone.
Every road brings us on the past is never forgiven it is atoned.
