1. GODSBREATH

Stray from the light,
And stay here with me
Safe from harm

Constellations of souls
Will serve as our gallows
In this witching hour.

Now earn your keep,
Here in the twilight,
In the desert of the real,
Where nothing grows.

This is the hour of drought,
To the dead it belongs,
Steel yourself and hearts you carry
When the fog starts to roll.

Crawling deep in the earth
A crown for our sins:
The white grasp of bones.

Now spend your life
Here in the twilight
Where nothing, nothing is real anymore.
Sacred shroud,
Envelop me
So tight
I can’t breathe.

Crawling deep in the earth
A crown for our sins.

Eight thousand faces
I’ve worn them all
Though I stand here overthrown
You show me mercy when I deserve none
When I deserve none...

If you’re on your own
When darkness comes
I will shelter you from harm.

If you’re on your own
When darkness comes
I will shelter you from harm.

Torches of the revolution loom beyond the sea
When the precipice draws nearer, don’t hesitate to leap.


2. SPRING, DEVOURED

The fruit born of solace
Torment has surely sown
Which in hearts of men now gathers
The rancor of the law

Their hands are tainted
By symbols from beyond
Their sight now mostly squandered
By a vision of the dawn

They forget their place and wander
Seeking knowledge that we keep
It will tear their minds asunder
With the illusion of control

Stone by stone
We built the throne
This is the kingdom
We have brought

The eye of truth
By sheer magnitude of numbers
Will, colossal, blind their minds
From the dark past reassembled
By the long line of their kin

Into loving arms we’ll drift.
By the long line of our kin.

Kept entranced through fear and wonder
Seeking knowledge of the deep
It has torn their minds asunder
With the illusion of control

On thrones of epiphanies
In masks of dread
We lay our hearts to rest
With the certainty that tonight the flood will take us all

Whatever fate awaits us…
Our innocence is… (x6)
Spring, devoured.


3. THUNDERBURN

A conjuration
Travels the wind
Storms have gathered above
She stands beneath the black
Tears and bruises all over her face
Pouring her rage into a spell

Crushing silence soothes me
Shields me from the questions I can’t face
So I’ll be directed to the call of her blood
Drag me through the ghost-lit marshes
Grant me the sight
Cosmic visions surround me with light

Running spirits
Her revenge
Pain in silence
But never again

She won’t break
Not just yet
She will find the strength

Crushing silence soothes me
Shields me from the questions I can’t face
So I’ll be directed to the
Call of her blood

Who would’ve known?
This is the end of the world
Will they believe in us?
Evacuate soul in three, two, one...

Running spirits
Her revenge
Pain in silence
But never again

See the inverted mountain?
We’ve crossed the final threshold
Spear-like, the past comes alive
Piercing through her flesh
Spirit barriers collapse

Starlight rushing in
The human condition is overcome
Through communion with this otherworldly vortex
Interspersed realities
Chaos made king (x2)

She won’t break
Not just yet
She will find the strength
She won’t break
Not just yet
She will find the strength


4. MAELSTROM

Tired of selling open hearts to strangers yet?
Each step takes you further
Into the plane of night
All aversive stimuli if I recall.

A summer’s eve
Begets the rays
Of sunlight on our weary faces
Our calloused hands will, hopeful, not search for mercy
Though awash with longing and regret

Share this vision with me
In the dreamlike state of hope
Even though here ends our road
This is not all that we are (x2)
This is not all
No…

Even the heaviest of burdens
May be lifted yet by a notion
A notion of ‘what if...’

I am still right here,
Still in contentious audience with god
My heart is a vault of memories out of sequence

Share this vision with me
In the dreamlike state of hope
Even though here ends our road
This is not all that we are (x2)

A distant place to feel home again
Traversing dimensions
In a time beyond time
Take the leap…
