The moon is distant from the sea
The stars no longer shine
We embark into the unknown
To see if anything's grown
Either way new chapters unfold
Yet to be told

Ominous
Latitudeless
Once and evermore

Prepare the soul for heresy
Expand your inner self
Transcend into another place
Thine eyes impose on us

Drowning in the twilight once more
Waiting for the tides offshore
Let me crawl from your uterus
You’re the one that I adore
Let me fall from your underworld
Let me rise from your sore

When the master shakes the heavens
When the luminaries hide
We call upon the absolute
Tainted skies
When the wind repeats the motion
And the raging sea abides
We gaze upon the shadows
In a tainted sky

Pending with the grains beneath the soil
Awaiting to repeat this mortal coil
I’m your seed, I’m your progeny
I’m the one you were before
I’m dying to be born
And to thrive again once more

When the master shakes the heavens
When the luminaries hide
We call upon the absolute
Tainted skies
When the wind repeats the motion
And the raging sea abides
We gaze upon the shadows
In a tainted sky

When the master shakes the heavens
When the luminaries hide
We call upon the absolute
Tainted skies
When the wind repeats the motion
And the raging sea abides
We gaze upon the shadows
In a tainted sky

Overcome by your piercing gaze
Overcome by your rule
Because you cannot stop for us
We’ll kindly stop for you

Father of time
To the crooked, the sick and absurd
No chance to evade
Death is the way of the world

Saturn coming down tonight
Saturn coming down
Saturn coming down tonight
Saturn coming down

Cut the millstones from our necks
We know not what we do
Hear the cries from your kin beneath
Our weeping and gnashing of teeth

Come gather your herd
Death is the way of the world

Saturn coming down tonight
Saturn coming down
Saturn coming down tonight
Saturn coming down

As our crowns begin to rust
Karmic debt that burns to dust
Incinerate our beings as you must
When will you come?
Where will we be?
When will you come for me?
As Saturn’s coming down

We fear you
Appease you
Bask in your great shadow
We’ll see you coming down
And enter sacred space

Take us through the gates
That lead to our ends
When will you come for me?

Saturn coming down tonight
Saturn coming down
Saturn coming down tonight
Saturn coming down

As our crowns begin to rust
Karmic debt that burns to dust
Incinerate our beings as you must
When will you come?
Where will we be?
When will you come for me?
As Saturn’s coming

Carried away with the motion
They are the winds in the trees
They are the veins to the sea
And the ocean

Can you feed their hunger?
Can you please their appetite?
I can take you under
Will you sail with me tonight?

We keep on drifting away
In oblivion
We keep on floating away
Into hungry waters

You are the dream
You are the nightmare
You are the pulse and the pace
You are the greed and the grace
Are you out there?

Can you feed their hunger?
Can you satisfy their thirst?
I can take you under
Into slumber we submerge

We keep on drifting away
In oblivion
We keep on floating away
Into hungry waters


We built this world from your memories
Grasp your soul and go alone
Breathe the rain
Through this endless sea we sail
Divide the waves with me

We keep on drifting away
In oblivion
We keep on floating away
Into hungry waters
Into hungry waters

Never on the outside
Never even looking in
You can't see the beauty
Of the places where I've been
But I can't even take you there
You can't trust that fiery mare
Lurking at the bottom
At the bottom of the sea

Shattered
The bones begin to crack
Shattered
The smoke we see is black

We're tainted, polluted
Love of God
Anointed, uprooted
Love of God

Take heed, tread lightly
Do come but beware my Christ
Stay aware now, shine brightly
What we seek is highly priced
You wouldn't think about tomorrow
You wouldn't worry 'bout the rest
Though it could make you humble
After all it's just a test

Shattered
The bones begin to crack
Shattered
The smoke we see is black

We're tainted, polluted
Love of God
Anointed, uprooted
Love of God

We're tainted, polluted
Love of God
Anointed, uprooted
Love of God
We're tainted, polluted
Love of God
Anointed, uprooted
Love of God

Found her by the side of the road
Lips still glowing like embers
Pallid skin and cold to the touch
The blood turned to ice

Nothing else could have found me wanting
The urge to kill is insatiable
Crystal plumage or a metal noose
The blood starts to flow

Another murder in red
She's joined the dead
Laceration under moonlit skies
Gushing blood from what once were her eyes
She's joined the dead
Left behind, body's swarming with flies

On and on and on
Chasing my black swan
Tending to my creation
Take this cup from me
Now that I must bleed
I'll bleed for you

Gushing blood from what once were her eyes
She's joined the dead
Left behind, body's swarming with flies
She's joined the dead

Laceration under moonlit skies
She's joined the dead
Left behind, body's swarming with flies
She's joined the dead

Echoes of the world we devour
And spew it out into the fire
Now let us wither away

The curse and vivid endeavors
Lead us now and forever
It's like the fever in a dream
It's just a sliver of time

In the age of vivid ore
Time reverberates forevermore
Hours repeat the everlasting pace
Time and the burning vivid ore

Staring into a mirror untrue
The reflection never follows
The figuration that we drew

Turning with a mechanical release
Rotating now and forever
Like the fever in our dreams
It's just a fracture in time

In the age of vivid ore
Time reverberates forevermore
Hours repeat the everlasting pace
Time and the burning vivid ore

Time, breed the age of vivid ore
Time reverberates forevermore
Hours repeats the everlasting pace
Time, turn us now and forever
In the age of vivid ore

It was just that golden time of the year
I knew I heard your voice
You requested me to follow
That way we all must go
I recalled the words you've written
The last time you held the quill
I wanted the winds to take me
But something held my will

I can feel you roam
When the seeds are grown
I hear you cry along
To the reaping song

You had left before the winter
With the last of fallen leaves
Our universe had splintered
I could not blur the grief
But when the birds fly south
And apples fall from trees
You're granting me a sprout
Of times that used to be

Within this time of year
I can feel you near
I hear you cry along
To the reaping song

It was the rising of the fall
And again I heard your call
Your presence would increase
With the last October breeze
You invited me your way
This time I could not stay
And in that golden time of the year
I walked with you my dear

Now the maples sigh
And the birches cry
When I sing along
To the reaping song

And so it became in the year of our Lord 1327
Seven trumpets would sound with all their grace
In the library the book that seems to be gone
Shrouded mystery and death to whom it belongs

A string of strange fatalities plagues the monastery grounds
One by one, blinded by faith

Blighted power
Within their halls and crypts they still reminisce
And in the light of day the struggle became their way to forget
And to go on into beyond

The sins of two lovers, religious shame
In the shadows they would fall
Indulging in the pleasures of the flesh
They receive the ultimate call
Whomever kills with their righteous intent
May be the one that should repent
Become sublime by holiness
Or do oppress my heart

Poison pages
Blackened fingers and tongue
Spiritual unease
Beware this place
The beast is among us

Blighted power
Within their halls and crypts they still reminisce
And in the light of day the struggle became their way to forget
And to go on into beyond

With the aid of God their secrets are to be hidden
Between the walls of the abbey they'll be held
The countless gruesome deaths of the brethren echoes
The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit cries

The remedy is in the poison

Blighted power
Within their halls and crypts they still reminisce
And in the light of day the struggle became their way to forget
And to go on into beyond
