The hero of the gods
The crossing of the threshold The belly of the whale Refusal of return Hollow eyes Dry pale legs Howling on Thru fields and graves Language of the signs Symbols to our sight Guardian to thy throne Take on form Daylight Hide the skin Cut it off Scatter ash in the wind Shapeshifter rolling on winds of tyrants make Fierce lore of fanged horn Danger all the way Night's sea reflection The faces of bodies slain Returning to the form of natural human's fate Grown from the cold Spirits unclean Dealer of the days The ice will thaw As the soldier walks thru the crimson side Researchers of aftermath Dispelling disarming man One-toed horses subject of Genesis And the immigrants Fundamental side of a human mind Hulder folk and fairies So believe The hero of the gods The crossing of the threshold The belly of the whale Refusal of return 02. Crystal Skull
Guide a truth
Prevail and ride Into the black hole Searching the crystal Making the veins bleed The source of consciousness Alive Crystalline resonance Into the black hole Searching the crystal Making the veins bleed A deep breath before the plunge One million voices Dispelling A thousand faces Disarming Running thru the darkness Holding hearts in my eyes Falling short of gauntlet Covered in blood-sucking flies The touch is cold I tore a path screaming through wind and blood I will it all 03. The Sleeping Giant
Earth has burst
Mountain flames Moon beheld Father snake Mind control Has left its nest Shame on Bulls roar loud The fearless fall Wooden vessel Broken wings Caught my killer In my grave Shame on Eyes of grace Kill again Trapped in maze Trembling fear Head scorched brow Perish the land Shame on A vast calm wilderness The call to adventure comes Lead and land atop this rock Infinite path carved with unrivaled skill 04. Capillarian Crest
Capillarian gone away
It's a shattered wave Cosmogenic cycles Universal dreams The unseen essence Energies refreshed 12 years of silence Frivolous to moments Shake the hand of lightning Capillarian carnate Capillarian carnate You don't have to go Escaping from the long way And leave us here all alone Carve Carve out your soul Lay it on the altar And leave us here all alone This river is running violence A way to catch our breath Rising from the mercury We will climb to bestow our trust Take away the anchor Amplify the mystery Inhale the earth and wind Map out the plans to our test 05. Circle Of The Cysquatch
Elephant spirits
Tower of ivory Story of ancient deities Seizure of the fleece Protector of its place Fly thru dreamscapes Of valleys gullies and spires Herd across suicidal slopes Changeless moonshines Circle cyclops image A race of one-eyed beings All feared and shunned Rakshasa demon Seizure of the fleece Protector of its place Eyes all around you Enter the labyrinth Visions of the hunted Beware the birchmen Incisors thought to be Skulls of us Our release 06. Bladecatcher
(Instrumental)
07. The Colony Of Birchmen
This forest is growing faster than I can tell
Cell structure eats away at a massive swell Seems however I'm a victim of circumstance Hunt for ogres and dwarves Lion slicer Run with death Run with death White faces coming closer with every step Earth envelopes taking breath without happenstance Carve my teeth out ripping through the sheep's head curse Hunter gatherer Ridden from the cave Run with death Run with death Gone away My heart's gone away Taking everything My heart's gone away Take it now Hunt for ogres and dwarves Lion slicer Run with death Run with death Gone away My heart's gone away Taking everything My heart's gone away Take it now 08. Hunters Of The Sky
Running faster than I ever have
Evading sharks of the sky Death trap and I kill again Dig through my own hives Shelter from sky Talon of raptor Force-fed glass giant moth Reaping fields of the flesh Heavy hand thwart the scheme Of the dominant nymph Omen she brings Carried on weathered wings Fly reptile Leather wings Bones hollow Petrified Running faster than I ever have Evading sharks of the sky The earth's ashing floats What is good for man Cast us out into the known 09. Hand Of Stone
No one sees the difference in the land
Where the sky meets earth Form horizons Hand of stone Arm of strength Nature's fire Fist of gold Venom stains the lips and burns the tongue With vengeance and hatred Extremities forged in nature's fire Unrelenting vigor Carve the future Feast or famine Drink deception The wells run dry The need for temptation Falling thru brain field Head for divide The hand matches The hand that leads the way To kill the shepherd Just to see his face Heed the warning Ingest the rotten bone The hand that falters The hand that turns to stone Chew on the root that gives us sight Cranium shatters Feed the needles as they fall The truth The mask Brain divided 10. This Mortal Soil
Floating in red again
A deepened soil Nothing Empty cup Trade not known Showing promise of a perfect land No regrets for a fallen ground The omen passed Woman possessed Reflect on the duties held Oceans morph to dust Chasing the timeline Bolts of light flash Original storm god The atmosphere that floats above the earth Is corrupt for man This we know What has dwelt within the early dawn has gone away That's okay Dig Climb Ancient elm Root Ride the vine of father ground our carving The atmosphere that floats above the earth is corrupt for man This we know Circle Made of ash Betray her presence Huntress Gentle breath Listen to the poison rose 11. The Siberian Divide
Ice god shakes the earth
Destruction of the path Sinking deeper in the snow Eating bark with blackened hands Swollen fingers frozen jaw Warm teeth wrapped around my wrist Frostbite eating away at our limbs Slit the belly brontotherium Climb towards vermillion snowbank fall Station of the crosses prayer save all Chewing bone Euphoria Land and sky Shining skull Ice field blanket land Hunted beyond the fray No direction known Running with the band Provisions wearing thin Avalanche sweeps the land Starvation setting in Spilling all that's left Should've kept the fruits from virgin's vine Three-horned face Pillar of red Evil lives atop my crooked spine Rosebush current flow Carmine river go Solar storms erupt on the sun Ice fields blanket land Snow queen Hypothermia Ice lips Hallucination Ice field blanket land Hunted beyond the fray No direction known Running with the band Provisions wearing thin Avalanche sweeps the land Landscape ebb 'n' flow Think I felt the end of time Skulls aglow as crystal shines And starts to warm the empty climb 12. Pendulous Skin
