Reaching up to the gloomy sky
with hands that stink of death crawling across the windswept plain to draw one final breath shouting out defiant rhymes an archaic war raging still As the night falling on the ghastly fields veiling a scarlet river cross the plain The rising crescendo of soldier footsteps each regiment falling in stages the clanking armors breathe so heavy a silent moment passing still a gentle breeze moving through the air Bodies sprawling like fields of wheat weapons flashing and blood marching for wards Lifeless eyes staring out as the cold wind blows in the still of night, a gentle sleep remained unbent a channeled homage for life, unrivaled by dissent reach morning, before the sun, awoke something else.. Bodies sprawling like fields of wheat weapons flashing and blood marching for wards Dissolving the ground into red mud the air is heavy with the scent of death as the sun sets, red glow bursts, Darkness enclosing cutting off the sight, fading away Hail to the fire, earth, water, and air taking back the elements to the ground. expoding despair, yearning hearts, shattered souls, a dying of nostalgia, caged in bitter cold, seize the treacherous night, farewell forever. 02. Earth Serpent
The skies shall burn with fire
the seas shall turn to blood and the skies will be split asunder while mortals drown in black flood the righteous shall fall before the wicked And when the time has come for the eve of destruction humankind will face it's inevitable damnation And we raised our fists from the earth, we wept and begged for our lives all who have felt will feel it again a pang of guilt for what's gone is gone Lands are plagued as the stormy weather approaches as the world grows weary and wether. in time of death, when the flames and ashes blaze across the ages of a thousand wastes until the end. In the land of lurking twilight through tenebrous eyes we were watched and old soul dressed in wilting young life with a sorrow and despair We are the children of the dead we are the wishes of the unknown we are the guardians of the earth 03. The Anchors
The sun lost a war long time ago
and the moon retreated in haste waves wash over shores the earth is our ship and we turn through the ocean of time and space on the mad waves of a dark cosmic deep lost in a vast sea like paint against a burning horizon watch the footsteps fade away Billions of lights are our guides the soul of stars and lightyears away that have already died and reborn swallowed into black mouth Forsaking creatures to wither and fade and leaving in our stead thorn and nightshade to injure and poison in the barren waste where the wind howls like the wild banshee We are dreaming to be reborn with mind awaken as we ride the voyage longing in sea spirits and reincarnation lost in delusions of afterlife and immortality In gravitational tides we are pulled and seafarers draw strange patterns in the sky we might cut the universe to size and stop our minds from drowning we forget to took with fear and awe in wonder we whisper it's the world we cannot touch beyond the hull And way beyond in our black ocean the stars are reborn the light of millions touches us through aeons and fill the empty skies with sights that leave us wordless All energy survives and recycle into endlessness We reap the power of the wayward spirit and howling in nowhere land we are immortal we navigate the skies We are immortal..... 04. The Wayfarers
The elder spirits called upon us in signs
Whispers and motion of the heart With air breathed in the sky and scenes seen Way up above the clouds Weeping our children left afar Life and fertility Forgotten and lost The ancestor has now sent To ease our inner pain Remember the days of old Where once we sailed the seas We used to be the masters Upon raging waves and thunderbeast We tamed the rushing waves And sailed the distant shores Stood up strong and proud As far as our eyes can see Our strengths pounding fiercely That roared in the dragon's belly We proudly wore the scales From the beast in the valley The dreaded monsters of legend the giants And primeval beasts we fought them all and won Liberated stand proud and tall The heart that beats within us once carried A sacred fire a world in which we've lost that Has a fate that's rather dire Out there beyond the stars Lies a sea that thrives a new The vast ocean of space Floating through Realms of energy Blackholes and lightyears Now we voyage Through the stars As we entered the dawn Of the slumbering one The sparkling shores Are still yet unseen.. 05. Ring Of Fire
The pulse of the earth pounds out a deadly rhythm
Blood of liquid rock erupting forth from beneath The black sea, however looms dislocated from Earth's Divergence it haunts the new convergence with hull-like hollowness. The beauty lays scattered in the newborn ash shine upon the World in fiery light island sinks beneath the waves with a crash screams fill the air as fluttering birds take flight. The sea serpent precipitates a neon luminescence only to be swept by the scumbling tides. Their breaths smoke and Perspire to the lava layer. Rafts of pumice float away to the distant lands. While in the air, ash distorts the light, The sky turns hues as it hadn't happened beforehand As an upshot of the giant might. Inferno erupting from the waves Arising the son, as the fire water Burn the son of flames, born on his Parent's grave. In the glare of Burning lights The lava bleeds to black, as the scrape thin horns of the Mighty mountain probing for answers. Plague and destruction shall wreak again From the island of the grieving mountains The genetic impulse of conservation triumphing Over the temptation Their breaths smoke and perspire to the lava layer Raft of pumice float away to the distant lands While in the air, ash distorts the light The sky turns hues it hadn't happened beforehand As an upshot of the giant might. Vicious red foams bear down As the invader crawls Red and blazing like wildfires in the night Crimson-like bloodstains on the White fur of an innocent lamb Reaching its discontented fingers To the unblemished earth below Heat oppresses the air The blood flows to the skin Verbal fire and brimstone smash Through fragile walls When enraged angry flames gruesomely Cleansing all in its path Blood runs red in the hearts of the living Burning through the rebellious veins The wild smokes curled, seize the day of the sun Velvet darkness enshrouding Glares reaching for the sky Burned and perished A fire from the ashes shall be woken Once we lost now regained his crown 06. Eyes Of The Watcher
With eyes of the moon coat of arms of the night
On clouds of soft velvet unfurl the twilight Stopping you to listen and watch its plight You might hear the howl of the weakening light. To gaze upon an empty night showered by the darkest glow illuminate the woods and morrow's rise Slowly sinking into black where path and signs start to lack. When daylight vanished only darkness left As the light floats into the sea And sinks in depths to flee, flashes Of the eyes rear up the world To watch the trees and grass glow by an eerie Iridescent light see the glowing grass Turn to charred ash The rule of the stars and shadows deplore The light and its joy to reign over the dark in rising Days to be fought and the night was all gone as it's Known among all the day won all along.. The rule of The stars and shadows deplore the light and its joy to Reign over the dark Amongst the shadows dancing, beneath a moon lit sky, Sweeps the depth of darkness no one can defy And within the nightly air across the forest path Walks a hidden figure with the structure of a lass A cry pierces the night sky splitting the clouds like Lightning, settling down like ashes tasting the leaves Thunderous echoes follow after while the fogs of Fear spread below.. 07. Grains Of Horizon
The clouds break forth the streams of light
To dance upon the earth As the light swallows into homes And cradled in the sands of time A murky rock consumes all the light A gentle breeze blows through the night Whispering through the grass Ripples on the water form As the rain glistens on the glass Mother earth's tears in avalanche A faint cold fear runs through the veins Freezes up the heart Freezes up the heat of life Almighty nature presence all around He summons us to go To the peaceful waters flow The great cosmic cycles Cleansing the earth And the shadows growling still Lightning shrouds the mountains A dark herald of things to come Longings spirits and mages number The fallen and count the damned sum A rainbow arcs across the sky Whiteness overflew, balances corrupted Everything became so blurry The autumn leaves in their splendor Fall gracefully to the earth And stars proclaim their song at night The skies darken as the clouds roll in Blocking out the light Whips of lightning break the darkness Flashes of angry light Then the thunder rumbles Like a rumbling that shakes the earth The wind howls like a wounded animal Leaves and dust fly through the air The seaweed and petrels the sand And the mud and the river's end The wind is silenced The whips and gongs have ended The blue starts to reappear Then the gentle of The sea-mother's tongue On the ocean's evening And the hum of song through The shadow and the clouds scudding Free through the water A sudden storm in the deep Miracles in motion For the soul's delight. |
