Take me now
Obstinate arm
Which carries the burden of my heart
Release me
Carapace and skull
You've held the mind of the traveler
About to escape
Uncradle me - until the grave
Thy chorus of blackened winds call out to suffocate
Released - cast out among slugs
Where the feral remain untamed
Devious heart, o devious heart
Transcend until I resonate
Flagrant skies afire
Amidst sanguine seas abroad
Devious heart, o devious heart
Pierce this flesh and purge my soul
Uncradle me - until the grave
Thy chorus of blackened winds call out to suffocate
My skies are empty
Yet forever shine
For alone we suffer
And alone I die

"Make me a God"
By graceful tunes off lips now ceased
Hear her whisper
A foul voice to welcome my loneliness
Oh Beseech your god
Why inspire the feeble fall flat?
The Earth still burns the souls of our feet
As we land on our backs
As we drift among the stars
Ageless, still he sleeps
So Rapidly thy needles Collapse
No offering - we are but falling leaves
No origin grows without root
Nor conviction breeds before torment
Pray to ask the bitter and burning
As we sow the seed - alive in torture
Disseminate
Exhort or beg
Call on me
Wakeful sleep
Shepherds' keep
Archaic need
Endure/Induce
Consume/produce
Spread the disease
As we drift among the stars
Perdition is never to sleep
Like litany our spines will buckle
And sacrifice - forever falling leaves

Dawn of a Dead Sun
07:03

My downbeat song resounds through the night
Wistful sails
With a guilt-carved heart that fades into white
Forged from nails
Black is the ash which rimes my beard
Tired and true
Reason the muse that admits my boots
She's led by the moon
Casting Shades Run away from the light
Forces to whither or grow
Smoldering the wick high both sides tonight
As glazes blaze out 'cross the grove
Will they ever see truth through the light
From the vantage of the decadent canopy
Or will they be lost in dissolute shadow as all
Fades into eternal entropy
No - our Sun is dying
Our Sun is dead
Bring us back from the silence
Stir the motionless dread
No - our Sun is dying
Our Sun is dead
Serve the earth as a ghost
And pray our paths diverge forever - Amen
Try as you might you'll never be close
To the crux and the core
Whore of the spirit heed counsel expose
To be raped once more
Set flame to idols be branded and black
Ignite the iron
Crumble the stone which never turns back
Dissent o defier
