DISC 1 (CD) - LIVE AT ROADBURN 2013

1. THE ONE

(Instrumental)


2. I: THE WEAPON

This is the final moments of our last days.
Release and cease, beating yourself into submission.

With poisoned blood, the demon speaks;
See how the wolves devour the weak.

They will not inherit.
Eyes closed but forced open. Bodies shaken awake.
Inhale and cease, beating yourself into submission.

No one holds us accounted.


3. GHOST TRAIL

Beyond time I traveled
No space has bound me
Follow the will I know
The eternal order revealed

Past my dreams, all doubt disappeared, my vision became clear
Treachery is the poison and the union is in our blood

The king, with beak and talons
The king, in the form of man
Nothing escapes those eyes
He sees everything


4. FINLAND

These things moved me when I turned my back. Now I return with open hands.
I found light that lead me to the shrine where children sang and pilgrims mourned.
I was lost but not alone.
From a distance they come alive. Sleepwalking across the plains.
No answers were found here. Seeking shelter in her embrace.
Down on sore knees. Erase and begin. Under my eyelids, come forth light.


5. VICARIOUS REDEMPTION

Over paralyzed pressure.bove structural obstructions,
Celestial reign denied. Our worlds collide,
Loathing parallel perceptions. Renouncing vicarious redemption.
Avoid the fall from grace. A view replaced.
Silence consumed us. The bloodline.

Abhor the absolute;
Created and thrown under.

Trying to recover the flesh. Casting spells upon swines.
Reject reviled wisdom. No powers are divine.
Moving mountains, splitting seas,
False hope never beckoned me.

No gods, no masters, no rulers, no kings;
What you reject, I bring.


6. OWLWOOD

Fear roams throughout this land
Where no man dare tread
Dark shapes protect the one, not bound by laws or flesh

Days of isolation, regret dominates
Unwilling to face what awaits outside
When lights are gone, woodland comes alive
Fire is born into their eyes

Ghost of this age
What the creek take
From a wretched state rose the willing


7. IN AWE OF

At the edge, looking up,
Shifting focus onto a majestic void.
Leaving myself open to let go,
Drift along and disappear.

I listen when you sing. Astral resonance rings.
My gaze ascends, never ends. Numbness strikes like fever.

Whispers generate waves;
I can't heed them all.

On my knees, mesmerized;
In awe of. Solarised.
Acceptance before I return to the stars.


DISC 2 (DVD) - LIVE AT LA GAÎTÉ LYRIQUE, PARIS

1. THE SWEEP

Hail falls;
Burn like fire;
Hate turns;
The swell.

The end.


2. LIGHT CHASER

With every hour our bond is forged
I shimmer to open the sky
We transcend together and leave everything behind

Onward
Forward

This ascension, a progression towards the void above
3. OWLWOOD

Fear roams throughout this land
Where no man dare tread
Dark shapes protect the one, not bound by laws or flesh

Days of isolation, regret dominates
Unwilling to face what awaits outside
When lights are gone, woodland comes alive
Fire is born into their eyes

Ghost of this age
What the creek take
From a wretched state rose the willing


4. ECHOES

Empty men without regrets
Leaning against each others shoulders
Open spaces fill the gap
Where reason reigned and fell

And I see vapour coming out
Of every crack in the framework
Caught in a vortex between false
Perceptions and reality
Forever

Dead frequencies kill the intellect
And truths that only raindrops see
Frail bodies out in the periphery
Walk like ghosts across the screen

It begins again


5. I: THE WEAPON

This is the final moments of our last days.
Release and cease, beating yourself into submission.

With poisoned blood, the demon speaks;
See how the wolves devour the weak.

They will not inherit.
Eyes closed but forced open. Bodies shaken awake.
Inhale and cease, beating yourself into submission.

No one holds us accounted.


6. WAITING FOR YOU

I am praying for the raging flood
I am waiting for you to come


7. MARCHING TO THE HEARTBEATS

The sun, the light in your eyes, trapped me in a cage.
When you saw me you saw yourself.
We were the ones that marched and fell.


8. FINLAND

These things moved me when I turned my back. Now I return with open hands.
I found light that lead me to the shrine where children sang and pilgrims mourned.
I was lost but not alone.
From a distance they come alive. Sleepwalking across the plains.
No answers were found here. Seeking shelter in her embrace.
Down on sore knees. Erase and begin. Under my eyelids, come forth light.


9. BACK TO CHAPEL TOWN

Floating over empty streets. Away from pain, away from everything.
Pray that we will survive the night. Buildings falling, the soul vaporised.
Watching you sleep, but I know that your heart has grown cold.
Let me dream if only for tonight, that we leave together in the first morning light.
Alone and forgotten. I bow my head in shame.
Before you all answers reveal. So I sink my sorrows in the sea.


10. AND WITH HER CAME THE BIRDS

Night falls, silence takes a grip. Guilt I retrieved, a burning will to die.
I need this to be over before I am bleeding dry.
Somewhere along the highway these tracks must end.
I pass a crowd on my way to the house on the hill.
Dead man with pitchfork arms tells me all that he knows.
Leave me here for the crows.
In the Fall she came back, and with her the birds.


11. THIRTYFOUR

In her eyes he stares at his reflection. A faint dream, that disappeared at dawn.
Standing at the shore patiently waiting. But the waves do not return when she is gone.
So he followed her footsteps, to the highway that sealed his fate.
The wind blew all sand away. Faceless people that walked astray.
Behind the dunes false hope awaits the ones that lost what was loved.


12. DIM

From the skyline dark clouds move in. They shroud me with her cold cover.
Eyes like daggers puncture the skin. Isolated in a room with no others.
Where do I turn when all hope is lost? Where do I find forgiveness?
My search for salvation has begun. To find a place where our hearts beat as one.


13. DARK CITY, DEAD MAN

When the streetlights fade. Warm rain like judgement descends.
Their voice numbs me. Speaking words in a dead tongue.
I have walked a road that lead me back to you.
From a window our glances met. My true colours I cannot hide.
The landscape has changed. You don't recognise me.
These pictures slowly fade. Memories wither, they are all gone.
Further down the steps get steeper. You haunt me in my dreams.

I let go and fall deeper. This will be the end of me.
