In the darkness, I’ve waited for you
Flame of righteous light
To empty hands bled my empty heart
With a Portent, unbalanced and so unkind
In the beginning there were times
I’d wish the Sun would never rise
As the swine, feed on fire and dread
Condemned upon the line
Bind that sin, within your broken skin
Be wary of the solace that you may find
In the beginning he would rise
To stare the sun out of the sky
Stand tall with the willingness of time
The sin and doom of godless men

The Emissary
09:30
|

With a mourning cry, the unspoken name
Upon traitor’s footsteps it came
And I recall, a good friend of mine
Had told me the story one night
Rejoice within depravity
The children broke bread, as they cried
Avert thine eyes as the saint’s aghast
And scream so loud the trinity hear
Lay gracefully beside me in this subdued light
Between silent darkness and this exquisite pain
Basking in the gloom of an aching flame
That glitters unknowingly as the passing of time
And ages fall as grains of sand swept from my shores
Awash with my yearning
The taming of the land
To purify the raging thirst
Exhale that last cold breath
It holds you to life
Cling to it my darling
Radiate with dying beauty
Forbidden taste, leave your guilt behind
Delight and be damned to burn and to cry
Be pious, receive me, succumb as they watch
Your soul to your witness forsaken and lost
Torn and aching their fires lay doused
Virtue in ruin and my taste in their mouth
So they are tempted one by one
All sheep will fall and the flock will be done

Summon the Rune Wizard
08:07

Foretold are hidden words
Etched in stone, names still fade
mournful rhyme singing out
having no understanding of what they say
For one so old
There’s no grief or shame
He wept afresh, and rode towards the storm
Through the gloom, I raised my eyes and saw
the pale face of the wizard
pray tell, fearful question
Tell of All Farther and what he would have me do?
To suffer these warnings
Had fallen with him
I’ve seen the dead line up, and curse his name
So he found a doom
and he lay as the dead
once the great Enchanter of time
Slowly his anger died
Arise from the sleepless night
A burden so heavy, he couldn’t breathe
Those who tried, tried and failed
For them, now sunlight has fled
Beacon of sorrow
To carry their names
in quiet words that form no truth or bond
Things pass, and time lost its way
Dust suspended in silent still air
Behold story of dreadfulness
Knowledge can do such awful things to a mind
for one so old
There’s no grief or shame
He wept afresh, and rode towards the storm

Ship of Nails
12:41
|

Here I am
Waiting to die
My blood running cold
I feel the caress
Of springs sweet breeze
Is this how it ends
Breath... Breath... again
They won’t have my nails
I’ve suffered for glory
Suffered the pain
Now Ice fills my veins
And where are the maidens
Where is my father
Is death not enough?
Stand... rise...and take your place
Or sail with the damned
Failing that, let rain upon my skin
Deeper into the earth I sink
My strength has left, I’m fading now away
The black ship shall work its new mate
Brace the black main sail
Men’s skin and hair
The fair wind blows foul
I see no bright star
Within frozen sky
To plot my course
Sail... Latitudes... Sail
Until twilight calls
I bequeath my endings
I curse the sea
I scream at gray waves
Keep your heart faultless
And remain well kept
Death can be swift
And Breath... Breath... Again
In this nightmare with me
