I've known you for so long
And never saw cause for alarm
Recall our childhood song
An oath to never lay down arms

I feel a coming end
It's as if I see through it all

Now, would you know if I was gone?
An epoch of brothers dissolves
To leave you is a sin
For my own story, forced to begin

I see you here
But you're so far away
So far

Understanding the lines drawn for our limiting
Inspires blind conformity and fuels rebellion equally

"Faster now
Ride the wires
Seek what lies beyond"
Your words like choir
"Cast a spear
Through the ceiling
Leave that hand behind
That pulls back on the dream"
Would I hidе my eyes?
Would you know my face if I was drеaming of the years to come?
Your spirit unaligned with choice of fervor

As for now
Still my fire
Fear the thoughts that come
When ardour's breath grows tired
Hold the spear
Trust your feelings
Burn with gentle song
To oceansize my heart

The woods call on me
In their depths there is a vague light leading
Painting the ragged shapes of crooked beings that spring from odious groves

Upon my gathering of sun-faded blooms
I came upon a failed goddess, decrying her shame

Lost that feeling of a world beyond today
Without heart to guide I know you've nothing left to say

Upon my offering of wilted herb and moss
The deity sprang forth with spite and curse into the glade, dying
I've had visions where the night had come to stay
I could be mistaken and see bright skies return one day

The woods expel me
On the edge stands the ghost of my bleeding
But I've planted my seed
Of objection to set us free

I've known you so long
I know that you never belonged
I've watched you never change
All alone with the same sad song
You've seen the coming end
In any case seen through it all
I was blind to what you saw
Caught in my last failing cry
Lost in the night's howling wind
And crashing shadows, you left me
Pushed by the forces of your own abandonment
You left me, you left me

Lie awake
All at stake
By now the fear has gone
But the pain finds a way
Deep in my veins
Seeks to infiltrate the core

The light of resistance
Burns bright or it burns not at all
I am not the oil of a dying world
Yet there is rage inside
Passion for impassioned breeds

From the woods they call my name
In the mist we are all the same
When the sky reflects their flames
I will be calling out for rain

I should fly away
From the change
Feel the stars from afar
Different waves bring new states
A chance to be realised

Another sense of self is imminent
Another plague of hungry minds
We put aside the worth of I
The truth inside
The blazing fire of a dream
And forgot what it used to mean

From the woods they call my name
In the mist we are all the same
When the sky reflects their flames
I will be calling out for rain

I will defy the shrouded line
For once dissolve the divide
Reach you through the night
To reinvoke our ties
Unite

I could choose to face the end alone
You could choose to let me go
I will try to meet your claim
Though you would not do the same
My kin

The prospect of discovery is further one of improvement; a grand incentive for exploration beyond security. Yet we cling to our sense of home and thus know and acknowledge the need to act against the purity of wisdom.

Glittering green, flashes of dark
Trees for woods, stone for the mount
Snow, so cold, all stories told
An endless blue no deeper than waves
Deep fearful eyes
In vast deserts a great line
Dark rumbling streams
Detached senders of lost dreams

You were dying for an answer
Now denied a chance to see
You prepared me for the answer
A homestead for sustaining my creed

Dig deep, dig hard, speak as an architect of essence
Lest silence be your doom
Find a sacred heart, raise a totem
For days keep horrors that the night may reveal
Fight the fear
And the source of pain becomes clear
Defend the hearth
There are enough stars for others to see

You were dying for an answer
Now denied a chance to see
You prepared me for the answer
A homestead for sustaining my creed

Twilight
Hope flies free
A life for a dream

I shy away from impossibilities
And disbelieve any sunlight in black ice
But I shouldn't be so sure
Should not rest with second sight

I feel the light touch my heart
A torrid river sweeps this shadowed art
Burns through a gate at which appears my maker
So cold the light, my father's eyes

Distorted visions may have left me unchanged
While truth and clarity couldn't lead me astray
But I've witnessed too much pain
Without choosing, without pride

I feel the night touch my heart
A torrid river sweeps this shadowed art
Burns through a gate at which appears my maker
So cold the light, my father's eyеs

I sigh, feeling scared
Creep subsides, I've lost my hеad
Don't try, don't say it
Shapeless man under flowing river

I look beyond this world
Silence greets me now
All my fears aside
A silent tree would not answer me
Now the mighty heavens will

Shading off into morning
Dreaming out from the deep
Restless with a warning
Tempted falling star
Clawing down haven's veil to see

Wings furling
World's changing
Coils in ancient rhymes
Seas warning
I know the end is coming
The are of this life
Parts with time

Mist-veiled summits turn to grieving
Fall to chasms in the fields
From the clouds' anguished weeping
A consoling psalms echoes through leaden grey
Stirring gleams

No absolution in the mud and rain
A wilderness of mind changing all the time
Sure, one reaps as one does sow
And I can only hope for better yield
When it is I who is given to the earth
Bitter failings this for into the game
Last to embattled souls screaming for light
Let them have us
Let them reign

A brief and fading song
Just like the morning, gone
How long have you been away?

That night saw colours queer
Bleed into me dreamed discords
That only ghastly winds could bear

And now in this scarring time, I repeat the hurt
Howling in my mind, to you, they are only words

By your iridescent way, I see
Why forgiveness fills the day with meaning

To watch the rivers roar
To feel the gale winds burn
I quiver like the blade

And set myself aside
To know about the acres wild
And shift with those forever meaning well

And then, under starry skies, I reveal my hurt
To never realize what you might have heard

By your iridescent way, I see
Why forgiveness is the change I needed

What is this moon if not for barkers
With its rusted sheen shifting in the sea
Eclipsed by the sound of rain approaching
Miles and miles away a baneful current seethes

Fractured
Disjointed and distended lines
Well disguised
Crudely ruptured
Irreversibly upended
Earth to sky

The core of night grows only darker
Northern lights, fearful eyes
Flicker feebly, flash and die

Fractured
Disjointed and distended lines
Well disguised
Crudely ruptured
Irrеversibly upended
Earth to sky

Scrеams that benight me
Spilling forth from my core
A vortex stark, obscene
Lies, I cling to fading lies
Let the riptide have it all
The scion of the stars
Savagely fractured
Disjointed and distended lines
Well disguised
Crudely ruptured
Irreversibly upended
Earth to sky

Hail the dawning of the outer ones
For wisdom they burn
And flicker in their pain

When the titans call for change
Revolt to the last
And refuse the dial's turn
There is too much to defend

Hosts of cosmic fires ascend
Would I be free if I gave myself to these?

Through the rage of parting skies
Delivered unto them
The eternal blazing beings
Unfettered, untold stars

Let it shine on you
Thе white light of day
Shine on you
The whitе light
Reverse the night's decay

I am barely more than a husk on a windowsill
But I still have my place
I can still claim my sorry few molecules of sustenance
Somewhere in the debris of shattered vaults
Through shallow breathing
I sow my black conclusion
As the titans' reign decays
Our time will come at last
When no one is concerned
With ties that fade away

As the tightened chains of age
Are wrested from our grasp
And the shaded refuge burns
With fear we greet the end

Let it shine on you
The white light of day
Shine on you
The white light
The light beyond the grave

Multitudes dying
Strange memories
A solar swarm ascends to form new creeds
Behind the ether and selfish grief
Outside categorical belief
No one is me
