Second waiting, the bastard wind
Left you swaying but held again So allaying you'll call to the veil Where bled you fail Found you longing for steel and field and cave But still shackled by rows of endless waves Will an essence you drown now cast you away To sand and clay So a shimmer of wave will strain to the sun While deceiving the eye thats lost and won Where a lesson to burn is fast to decay In swell and spray So as endless a dream it seems is lost out of shade There in shoreless of hold you long to fade So the cleansing of waves are nought to avail Where bled you fail... The lie means nothing to the sky or veil The way will burn another day or fail This time in passage you divine this grail And climb from waves in endless line a pale The granite lay sunken As below The wind that wrought the fire So below Soaring ascent in flame Cinders of victims singed and maimed Strip the wind to bleed again Fall below oceanic flame Naught the strain That death has claimed You leave the kill to pain Deeds that bled away Where in fairness wars ascension is to stay There in violence you're mastering decay You'll feed the beast this way Where an effigy will climb towards the sun There a peak on high will witness what is done Air to thin and turn before the flames are gone Carelessly you're burning all there is to one Share the burden left in cinders by the ton If nothing's to be done... if nothing's to be won Strain the shadows and steep in shade Earth left fallow for steeper grade Climb once narrow is now the blade That severs the wind Calm but quaking on the shroud of the sun Where its forsaken and below its flung The storm is raging for the past has won And led by the wings You're led by the wings Need led the lie to deny endless sky Deeds led below As above For the foe 02. Heaven Torn Low I (The Passage)
Bleed
Heaven torn low then thrown in the fire Reave Weap of the woe to mirror the ire Eve Joining the foe as ash in the pyre Deceive Heaven torn low then thrown in the fire... Wake as the shattered flow Further than far to go What was above when they held you below Are they to know Cull for a quickening Horizon is found on wing Would it be shear where the living still cling Are they to show Hold of the handle fray ...prey... Crumble of silt betray Fingers that claw at the last of decay ...in mirrors... Backwards the fall with gleam The last of the blurs of screams Would lift you as felled beyond nothing it seems So now that it all seems clear Away from the far and near We'll orbit the climb beyond circling fear And if I could hold this sphere And vanquish all once held dear I wouldn't remain to deceive or deny I wouldn't hold pain in embrace with a lie So wouldn't disdain fall away with the sky Secrets you know But barely can hold ...through mirrors you fray... Fell from below ...all of the way... With you in tow A lesson to learn will pale in the shade that was ever to grow Where seven will spurn this tale that the sixes in triumph will know So here is a sphere where a tomb and a throne are left cold and alone And if they unseen are to burn would their meaning ever have been known So shatter the mighty of sword for you are still are to end in the cold A desolate moon wouldn't now shed a tear for the lives that you sold So here is atonement and here never read what the epitaph told And I wouldn't know your name unless you had since shattered the mold I wouldn't know your name unless you were the blackest of souls You wouldn't call my name unless I was passage and toll 03. Heaven Torn Low II (The Toll)
When you're stolen from the thief
And led by shadows to belief Where beholden to defy the sacrifice on high Now low to lie When you're coldest will you leap Set ablaze the path that only living keep Where they told us none will lie It's only there I'll fly in all denied When in holding colder seas Since the edges from inside that shattered freeze When its only left undone No battle to be won Beyond the sun When you're stolen from belief When in waiting to be torn To be torn 04. Prelude

05. The Unbodied Air
You rise as shadow, seek to avail
These lies of marrow that fray on the nail Leave nothing to defy ...avail...a veil... So fry the gallows and sever the tale Liquified sphere rising to moon Where the sun once beat down Upon the deadest of eyes And bloodless of ties Demise has cast its eye From fields where pained the fallen stained the deathless sky Where drawn to peak now torn From cradled land a void in hand from this demand For nigh will draw you high From mountain rest the blackest crest on stellar nest Should eyes return to lies They'd fall rain upon the slain that hold no blame To fall like rain upon the slain that hold no blame... For broken and dismayed the rivers rise Cast ashore to where the balance has decayed For delay will only stoke the lies For broken will evade the bloody reach of time If to pour beyond the distance where the frayed To delay the burden and the crime For broken and betrayed now cast the die As the tumble falls beyond the shattered cry Now to lie in scattering divide For broken now the stayed are last to tow the line To beyond the burning the valleys where the eye To defy, will only see the sky |
