Lyrics

1. TOWER FALLS

Burn
Lest ye be bold
Until the quickening
Unlearned and sill untold
Praise not this dawn
(That will become tomorrow today)
The soil pressed into dust by the heel
Below nothing can ever return
Tower falls
Read
Reprise and reconvene
Take heed an emperor
Does not an empire make
Taste of this wine
(That has become tomorrow today)
Stolen limb from cast
Nothing will ever return
Ever
As we lie
Tower Falls
Search eye and you will find
Not idly they fly


2. CŒUR

Earth burns
Earth turns
Coeur dans la mer
Corps dans le vert
Silent empty altar lies
Buried temple locked once again
Blind
Earth will turn
Dawn lies
Keeper Cries
Coeur/corps dies
Earth will turn
World burn


3. RISE

Rise
Circle
Greet the Sun
Serpent coils unwind
Pressure blood from stone
Now do valleys open wide
Now like rust do we reach out
Now do clouds burst forth under weight
Rise
Rest your shield
Lay down your plow
Wake
Inhale
Listen
Rise
Have you ever seen the scarlet day
Or felt the calloused hand of age
You till the ground and bring to home
Muscle flesh and blood to bone
Taste this oaken grain
Grab its horns and not the reins


4. RED SKY

All fall, as one, as none
Tooth and skin collide
Tide will bury
Buried, buried

Build broken into new

All fall, we've been here for days Stuck on shipless sea, we've got Nothing left we raise our eyes to See end of endless fleet, tide will Bury, we sleep for now

Build broken into new

Blood will turn slave sin to stone, and stone will carry us back to solid shore


5. SON OF SUN

Soul swallowed without heat absolved,
I am spirit never born but dreamed,

Heart heats head
Head speaks truth

Legs unchained
Limbs enslaved

Now, as the son
Return to flame


6. VISION

Now never has begun
Now traitor has been shown

Now monarch rests unthroned
Now vision rides alone

Free from vision
