Kurokuma - Of Amber And Sand lyrics



Tracks



01. I Am Forever

Sealed is the past
The path lies in mist
But I am the present
And I am forever

There is only now

Now I awaken
Threshold eternal
Essence of real
Here I reside

03. Death No More

Midway between
Godhood and beast
Forever bound
Muscle and bone
Free of the blight
Flesh inherits
Cast off the bonds
Of era and age

Reject the
Incandescent flame
Of ephemeral
Mortality
Embrace the chasm
Infinite
Now eternal
And unburdened

Hour...Year...Age...
Bloom...Meld...Decay...
Hues...Once...Rich...
Wilt...To...Grey...

Untarnished by the moons
Flowering aeonian
Paid with essence within
Worthless in abundance

Cursed
To abide
In shapeless
Perdition

Zeal...Lust...Rage...
Mute...Cold...Still...
Sin...Builds...Stains...
Fear...Grows...Feasts...

So terror breeds within
Fearing condign sentence
Divide the infinite
Dread that which lies beyond

Seek
Cadaverine
Embrace
Oblivion

05. Fenjaan

Sun
And moon
And stars

Skies
That guide
Divine light

Now water fills and floods the sinking bowl
Hours counted with the drop of stones
Hammer strikes and sounds a fated toll
Watching, sinking

Shadows here the radiant skies surpass
Falling sand inside the hourglass
Time once free, it now exists to pass

09. Crux Ansata

Nascent and rich
With ephemeral gold
Precious lucre
That flees the tightest hold

Commonest thing
Surfeit in the fresh-born
Blessed unto
The wretched and
Noble

Squander
Waste in
Profligacy
Ignorant hands
Cast off freely

Endowment once
Glutted and bountiful
Coveted
And bestowed without toil

Stripped with each moon
Whittled down to the core
Filched neath your gaze
Consumed from one and all

Bountiful stream
Once held in numb repose
Cracks in drought
And grips in mortal thrall

What you would trade
For meagre slivers more
Truest riches
Squandered by

Intransigence
Youthful folly
Turned to futile
Lamentation

Known in wisdom
Tearless mourning
Make your peace now
Crux Ansata

11. Chronoclasm

Witness of flayed kings
And dying stars
Seen through blind
Apathetic eyes

Kin of blackened void
Eternal yet doomed

Pillar of this
Sprawling paradigm
Endlessly patient
Majestic and unseen

Mother of growth
Father of decay

See such wonders built
See such wonders fall
Look upon my work
Ye mighty and despair

So to the winds are cast
Yon aged colossal wreck
Automaton unseen
Eater of atom and sun

Mother of growth
Father of decay
