Lyrics:
I think I included whole songs a few times here - I just couldn’t decide what I wanted to choose/leave out for those songs.
Heart Set to DivideThe robe wasn't mine
But I wore it still
In the sunset of age
On the weight of my limbs
Through tides of repentance
My words led to deed
In their wake
See how I sway
Eyes fix on the horizon
Bleak as it seems
I let the words relapse
And return to a dream
Then glide into the night
All my memories unbroken
I let the raptors circle me
To become their only prey
Behind the BloodRivers rush
Behind the blood
The cinder skies come alive
With this drop of sunset
How far can we go
Along the elusive flood
I've been waiting all of my life to be with you
Motionless now
Venin is in the blood
You're a preacher without a cross
Give me some trouble
Get me some trouble in
I can't wait
I can't wait again
Lacquer(no choice but to include the whole song for this one
)
My voice channeling
A circuit's end
The house we lived in
Stricken with blight
Finding ways to kill the pain
Let the river run wild
Dreams shattering
Aerial sound
Scrape the lacquer
Can't you see it's all tarnished
Tried the poise
To radiate
Tried my words
To illustrate
Finding ways to end the pain
I let the river run wild
Dreams shattering
Fixing to die
The levee breaking
I can't live to fight once more
The road to the grave is straight as an arrow
I'm just staying around to sing your song
Baby
My voice travelling
Soaring bird above your head
The house we lived in
Ridden with disease
ReinYou drink my words in the wake of your sorrow
You walk beside me and it feels like a hundred years
The plans you make for the perpetual tomorrow
Will be colapsing still
This time I'm losing the battle
There are too many things to overcome
I seek respite
The comfort of apathy
Burial time
Submit to to the non-divine
Did you see
The soot in my eyes
The long night
The spiralling lights
I'm so tired
The scars in my mind
It didn't end well
But you had me on fire
The Winter of Our PassingI navigate the dark
I bow before the flame I have deserted
Step off the map and let it go
Then focus on the fade
Stillness of the day
Renewal was the death of my ambition
To get higher
I have to go so low
Sold my worth
Made time for it
While I waited for something lasting
Until you would come running my way
To stay
But what does it matter now
It's the winter of our passing
Sold my trust
And my love too
Disregard the soul
Heart is made of mist
And still it's thinning
VanishersDrifting like wood
Our years
In the rivers of the aftermath
They shattered our right to wonder
Delivered us from free will
Our stories were thrown on the fire
Burning like bibles
They shattered our right to wonder
Exposed us to constraint
Our carbon shells deserted
We came so far for nothing
Unsung
Fixed on dead grass
Who will remain
And wake up to the sound of sorrow
When your skies are clearing
When your battles are fought
When mercy returns
To all of your thoughts
Remember the carnage
The vanishers trail
Our souls of the sunset
Drifting away
City GlaciersWaiting for warmth
Endless the days
Argent haze
As remedy flows into
Concealed veins
Algidity
It's late in evening here
The wind dying down
The lights are leaning
No more sound
White giants sleep
Along the roads
Our dead end tracks
In times as vile as these
I want us back
City glacier of sordid snow
Darkness comes in from the street
and glides back out again
My voice is shifting ever so slow
The prints of my fingers sing upon your skin
FlickerHope was changing lanes
I had to turn
Changed my pace
Either way
I grew so old
This is how I disappear
Separated from the dead twin
No hound is on my trail now
Journey to the heart of your deceit
And defining my shed skin
With no one waiting
I am waiting for no one
LachesisWe're sundered
Our cards were dealt and what did you receive
In my rest
In all my coming nights
I will dream for you to see
And my words
Will be spilled upon the ground
And sorrow must be freed
Morning
At long last sleeping
No colours to wake me
Neon EpitaphHow wild the wind came in
On the day when I found out
Passage of the one dead star
Its black dust lingering
Seeping through to my lungs
I fall towards the skyline
I drown my sorrows here
In liquids clear
Time for absolution
How the dead birds sing
They're right atop my roof
Take my offering
My promise can never be undone
The weight of midnight
Replaced by the shadow of a sun
I hold you in my arms
And it's farther than you've ever been
Little one
Adrift in sacred vertigo
The name is wandering
Our neon epitaph
Time for absolution
All the dead birds sing
They're right atop my roof
Shadow of my shadow
Cling not to my grief
I am long left behind now
You are free
UntroddenThere comes a time for all of us
To set our unfortunate sails
Our chance to part with the unrest
The open trail, the fever's crest
Will you meet me there
Underneath the pallid city lights
In the rain of Summerland
Over the ashes
Our memories in open hands
My soul lays bare
This road here, untrodden
My words must levitate
And reverberate through the void
The nails are in, the pressure's there
The music of loss is in the air
Thought I saw you in the street
Standing still
Watching me
I would fall down on my knees
I would love to surrender to nothingness
But I'll stay another year
To see if things might change
Remain where you are
My love will protect you always
Closing of the SkyI feel the oceans coil
Feel the chemicals burn
I rest in the long arms of torpor
It's for the closing sky that I yearn
Thoughts like vapor
Views of nothingness appear
Echo the labor
Await the unforgiving years
Can I have a change in my perspective now
(Blue moves out of my range)
A shift in this asperity
(Love drifts away)
A change of color through my house
(I have to let you go)
The token of a strategy
Into the ultra void
In the sleeper's white nest
I dream in a damaged sequence
Of where my oldest love lies at rest
