Commence softly lest our fragile skin
Erode from the tides, rest here, becoming less
The wind chills me to my bones
Thou leavst the plane as thou entered
Cold, naked, alone

Now strained from longing, hopefulness
Settled in the palms of my hands
All our eyes, turned inside
Then into my lungs to embrace you weakly
Releasing an exhale softly
All too eagerly I grasped that light
Embrace movement
Clenching palms into fists selfishly

My eyes forced shut
Limbs more numb than mine have carried on
This shell in which my spirit walks
Shall proceed no longer towards the sun
What hell can grant such grief
By force now I must learn
And breathe inside this empty darkness
Shallow as my breath, the light began to fade
Darkening the sky to an infinite emptiness

Here by your side now or oceans away
I come now with love from the place with no name

Me in this place so far from you
So far from your grace
That you cradled here lie
Lie and cradled here stay
Till the dawn breaks bright over the hill

Dry your eyes, take heed from mine
Atop the steed who runs the shining
Bridge between the blackened cold
And my hall up in the sky

What have we
What we've done
What are we but what we've done

Should branches rot and drift to soil
Mine own limbs will break their fall
One union in the broken world
Which seems to make immortal all

The hunger and the cold to watch over me
Until the sun emerges from the trees
My stomach full with nothing but the bleakness
Of the autumn sky
Let me down, let me die

To break the spell of this broken life
A lust for death and the will to die

No more shall I feel the sweet kiss
Of cold wind against my fragile skin
No more shall I climb till sacred soreness
Tears my limbs before the roar of wings of fire
Makes black the sky
I will bury my bones in the wild
I feel no warmth from your fires

When blow the wind on blackened plain
Ash take flight from root and then
Blow my sorrow far away
From those who haunt me in my death
From long-dead times of hollowness
Would taunt my face and scratch my grave
Though far away my bed is made
It comforts me to know the same
That when my bones to rest are laid
The forest will forgive my name

Soon with fire
The storm approaches
Beyond the crest
Of the hill

For a moment
Catch her gaze
Then are banished
Beneath the crashing waves

Cold wind embrace me
Lead me not astray
As I die on this day

To beg for forgiveness
And i with it
Flesh and soil rot to one
Now seeds scattered to the wind
And famished eyes peering from hollows

Here in the cold
Here in the only place I've called a home
You bring a torch, you salt the soil
I will sit here still, a curse upon my lips
Until my body breaks under the weight of my toil
In solace for my bitterness
For my name is vengeance and sorrow

Hail unlight
Crawling to my name
Will for life fallen into shade
Bring the night to my sunken frame
What I've done... make unmade her grave

To lay the bones around the grave
Here I was born, here I was slain
Before you bleed, burn the blade

To close the eyes
To rid the heart of will for life
To trust the night
To merge the pitch black sky

A rope to soothe these weary bones
As holy milk to our lord
Lead me through torture, pain and sorrow
Bound by the throat I fall below

To vomit life, to vomit suffering
Preside over me that I may not weep

Formless spirit, show me the spell to break the noose
To cease the visions, to rot the oak at its roots
Dark-eyed constituent
Take me away from dreams of darkening times
Teach me to sleep inside the starless night

A road paved only by the weight of all the world
Give me a staff on which to lean
Eyes to see, the fire to breathe
Or give me the spade to dig a grave

Hear this mournful plea
Calling out for the sun from darkness
Was there ever warmth?
Call my name
Walk through my dreams as I sleep again
Deep again
Longing and restless the same

All that we became like waste to the sea
Finds its way to the coldest depths
Swallow the filth of my lingering dreams
Washing away, I am nothing but rot

Comfort as we both stand motionless
Sorrowed downpour of rain
Absorption in the infinite, the sun
Begins to bleed through
I fade, you remain

I stood motionless
Grounded like stone in my chest
Steady the weight to bear
Collapsing from the roots
Still I grow cold as I fall
How can I sink yet remain
Tall and expansive
Trembling and waking again
Nothing is here as it was
Nothing as clear as my sleep
Steady the weight again
Crumbling inside at your visage
