Beneath Predatory Skies 06:38
lyrics
buy track
My soul, beneath the darkened sky Lingers within this dream Where my thoughts, left to die Washed by the waters of your stream Father, Son and Holy Ghost Do you see or hear me? Play the part, of sadness' host How can I count upon thee? Long has paled that darkened sky Echoes fade and memories burn Autumn frosts have watched me die Still haunts this predatory sky A spirit I cannot touch Never seen by waking eyes Never held too much In a state of death they lie Dreaming as the days pass on Dreaming as the seasons die Where flowers whither and burn Life, what is but a dream? Such a vision as this

This Life Was Not a Gift 06:59
lyrics

Life, hold true, this is not a dream They are images of your future self Like years, washed away by the rain Give solace, as the day turns to night Clouds of despair haunt my waking hours Changing with my turbulent soul Giving life to those who linger We lament the fall once more The sunrise left me wanting Life's hours now forgotten Buried, I hunger for death My lingering respect for life And when Death calls to seek you out And beckons you from your slumber What thought must give to sorrow That hope has long since departed Never to return, and never in your mind Unconquered, though we all shall fall This life was not a gift I never had the choice Without pain, there is no fear Hold your arms aloft For in vicious victory We all dwell in despair This life was not a gift This life was not for you This life was not a gift It was not for you

Falling Deeper Into Darkness 05:29
lyrics
buy track
Faithful has been your commitment to God A fearless cause, blinded to reason One hand in prayer, the other to destroy Vengeance is His, upon the soul of man God’s pain silent to godless souls They have shunned you once again The sun speaks to me, while I dream Its countenance too severe Full of wrath, I prey at night While the Horsemen make their plans The stedfast Empyrean All but the throne of God Before him, the plagues One Spirit on this throne Among the accursed And of their vigour left them drained This crystal wall of Heaven Down from the verge of eternity Burned by the touch of God

The Journey's End 05:50
lyrics
buy track
All of these deaths still haunt me They bleed into my soul A thousand faces, all in horror The pale shadow grows Swallowing all that's light With mountains left to climb My open eyes see nothing The world unlit by faith Shadows cross the ashes of men Leave no trace of pain They pray for God to spare them These lonely souls will die These lonely souls will die These lonely souls they die Light traces this horizon Leaving night in its path Fear replaces their words A gesture of suffering Everything that tied me to life Is now distant Fading into this journey's end These dead souls cannot rise

After the Sun 05:31
lyrics
buy track
Light breaks where no sun shines Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart Push in their tides And, broken ghosts with luminous souls The things of light through the flesh where lies the bones A candle in the darkness warms the mind and burns the seed Where no life stirs the birth of our stars on fire Bright as the day the waxing moon shines bright Light breaks on your secrets On tips of thought, left in the rain Reflected in the clouded eyes And blood jumps in after the Sun has faded The colour of spring is fading The colour of spring is fading The colour of spring is fading Light breaks on your secrets On tips of thought, left in the rain Reflected in the clouded eyes And blood jumps in after the Sun has faded

An Eternity of Sorrow Part II 09:25
lyrics
buy track
Such fever of sound came unto my thought Among the shadows the darkness brought The steady rhythm, such horrors in mind Nothing left, no spectre to find In bleak December, my memory awoke As dying spirits, given words hath spoke For I wish tomorrow, will bring me peace No more sorrow, forgiveness I seek I am nameless Given to darkness In terminal sorrow, where I dwell There is no forgiveness, just emptiness My soul grows stronger, though it hesitates It's forgiveness, my spirit placates Darkness is here, and nothing more I will wander forevermore Deep in nightside, stood in fear Such doubting dreams, I do not seer Whisper silence, unbroken sleep No more sorrow, forgiveness I seek I am nameless Given to darkness In terminal sorrow, where I dwell There is no forgiveness, just emptiness Back to the dream I'm turning All my Soul, within me burning A mystery, and nothing more This nameless body, before me speaks As if to strengthen, what once was weak And shall my body be nothing more I am nameless Given to darkness In terminal sorrow, where I dwell There is no forgiveness, just emptiness Only suffering We all must die Your past life A truth or lie Your past life A truth or lie
