1. EMERGE

(Instrumental)


2. TARANOIAS

Behold! This is us
Widowed and left behind
Clutching at every straw
Gasping for soothing hope

Heaving the life support
As we crave narcotic comfort
Shrink-wrapped empty shells
Deaf to the ring of our knells

Craving distraction
And refuge in delusion
As greed and malice
Have raised the chalice of the end

Off into the light
Of the starless night
We waft away
Borne by thunders diamantine
Into the blaze
Lifting the haze
In front of our very self

As the walls are coming closer
And spirit drifts further
The sworn divide is spreading on
A sedated dream's come moribund

Wrought inside the tide of time
The dark light clandestine
Carried by the eternal will
Beyond descent or end

When the awen's fallen silent
And yearning for atonement
Will a godless world quake
Before the fires shall wake

In ruin
In pain
In labour
In awe

Into the light
The starless night
We waft away
Borne by thunders diamantine
Into the blaze
Lifting the haze
In front of our very self

Off into the light
Of the starless night
We waft away
Borne by thunders diamantine
Into the blaze
Lifting the haze
In front of our very self


3. THE PRODIGAL ONES

The stars no longer guide their flight
Shadows dance where light once reigned
Eyes that once revered the night
Now forsake the vivid dreams once dreamt

Whispers fade on ancient winds
Tales once told, now drift away
Children lost in nightfall's dim
Wander far from dawn's bright reign

(For We Are) Broken
Awoken
At the demise of I
Forsaken
Children
Wandering astray

Forgotten songs, the silent hands
Echoes of the heart's demands
As twilight calls, the dark expands
Lost within forsaken lands

Whispers fade on ancient winds
Tales once told, now drift away
Children lost in nightfall's dim
Wander far from dawn's bright reign

(For We Are) Broken
Awoken
At the demise of I
Forsaken
Children
Wandering astray

(We Are) Broken
Blessed
In the nameless' eye
Foretoken
The return of
The prodigal ones

Rattling voices linger in the haze
Erstwhile bright flames now bleak and cold
Souls stray through darkened days
Lost within the words untold

The orphans of a desolate world disowned

Broken
Broken

(For We Are) Broken
Awoken
At the demise of I
Forsaken
Children
Wandering astray

(We Are) Broken
Blessed
By the nameless' eye
Foretoken
The return of
The prodigal ones

Vellī, vellī, care

5. PREMONITION

Under a sulfurous firmament
And bloodthirsty, the dead soil 'neath our feet
The leaden clouds a hundred jaws
Snatching, mewling, and drooling guts

Quivering comes the welkin pale
With bloodcurdling wails
Of the woebegone and broken
The bloodless cries of ghostly shades
Dinning with rage
As they loom against the horizon

Side by side they appear
Crippled and depraved
Yet still so intimate and dear
Wroth and grim
Yet still so full of fear

Father, mother, daughter, son
Blood of my blood
Heart of my heart
Have we not been one?
By grace now to be torn apart

As the carnix roared twice and once more
The sorrow hosts rage
In wailing and gnashing of teeth
As the lines clash
Face to face
With the malicious fiend
On the empty battleground, all alone

Side by side they appear
Crippled and depraved
And shaking with fear

Father, mother, daughter, son
Blood of my blood
Heart of my heart
Have we not been one?
By grace now to be torn apart

Vissupe attepisas
Ancus eðði
Trātu in medíei sīrobivotūtos
Vissupe attepisas
[English translation: Wisdom. May you see yourself.
Death is but a point in the midst of an eternal life]

Father, mother, daughter, son
Blood of my blood
Heart of my heart
Have we not been one?
By grace now to be torn apart

Father, mother, daughter, son
Blood of my blood
Heart of my heart
Have we not been one?
By grace now to be torn apart

Vissupe attepisas
Ancus eðði
Trātu in medíei sīrobivotūtos
Vissupe attepisas
[English translation: Wisdom. May you see yourself
Death is but a point in the midst of an eternal life]

I am all
I am one
I am none
I am gone
I am born
I am torn
I'm forlorn
I am reborn


6. AWEN

As the clanking footfalls echo with the mirthless concrete walls
Down the parting road, the end to unfold
Marching relentlessly as if to break free
Towards the yawning void beyond the dawning light

For the end has come as time is gone
Behold the path foretold
When the time has come for the end undone
Behold

Will I ever hear the awen sing
In a cosmos filled with reverence?
Will I touch the soil in awe again
And caress the whispering winds divine?
Pray the vivid orison
We could see the promised aeon
When slaughter become history
And the children of Anu unite
The awen's cry

All the gold in the scale pan and the scheming of the damned
Erasing gods exiled, paradise defiled

For the end has come as time is gone
Behold the path foretold
When the time has come for the end undone
Behold

Will I ever hear the awen sing
In a cosmos filled with reverence?
Will I touch the soil in awe again
And caress the whispering winds divine?
The awen's cry

Will I ever hear the awen sing
In a cosmos filled with reverence?
Will I touch the soil in awe again
And caress the whispering winds divine?
Pray the vivid orison
Will we see the promised aeon
When slaughter become history
And the children of Anu unite?
The awen's cry


7. ANAMCARA

Then will the earth tremble
And all voices of the gods will be forced into silence
The fruits of the earth will rot
The soil will turn barren
And the very air will sicken with sullen stagnation

All good will disappear
But when all this has befallen
Then, the nameless, the creator of all things
Will look on that which has come to pass
And will stop the disorder by the counter-force of its will

[?], it will cleanse the world of evil
Washing it away with floods
Burning it out with the fiercest fire
And expelling it with war and pestilence
And thus it will bring back this earth to the former [?]
So that the cosmos will once more be deemed worthy
Of worship and wondering reverence
A holy and awe-inspiring restoration of all nature
And it is wrought inside of the process of time


8. THE HARVEST

Shell-proof and safety locked
The boxes round their heads
Isolated and stored
Ego-wired to the core

In a frenzy the merry-go-round
Of their monkey minds
The optical delusion
Of their consciousness grimed

Depressing ignominies
And godless mockeries
They're dancing on the graves
Of the ones they made slaves

Voracious bloodbath
Leaving life-mocking strands
For the bowls of wrath
Were found in their own hands

All the pain and death and all the seeking and all the breaking, it has not been in vain
For with every strike of the threshing flail, the harvest, it will end this bloody reign

Their eyes turned away from heaven
Underyoked and downtrodden
By all things fucking hostile
To the nature of the soul

Leaving gutted scorched earth
On their rapine damned
For the bowls of wrath
Were found in their own hands

All the pain and death and all the seeking and all the breaking, it has not been in vain
For with every strike of the threshing flail, the harvest, it will break these crushing chains

Depressing ignominies
And godless mockeries
They're dancing on the graves
Of the ones they made slaves

Voracious bloodbath
Leaving life-mocking strands
For the bowls of wrath
Were found in their own hands

"Nothing will be left but graven words, and only the stones will tell of their piety"

All the pain and death and all the seeking and all the breaking, it has not been in vain
For with every strike of the threshing flail, the harvest, it will break these crushing chains

All the silence and all the light and all the breath and death will soothe the haunting pain
For with every blow of the reaping hook the harvest will end this fucking reign


9. MEMORIES OF INNOCENCE

(Instrumental)


10. ALL IS ONE

As the twilight falls
In the nemeton
The spell o' the knot flares up
And through I shove
Into the grove
Soaring high above

Casting off the veil
That ghost light so pale
I douse the blaring glare
Deep into the dark
On the winding path
Leaving the clamor behind

For all is one
For one is lone
The weaving hand
Wields the endless knot
For one is all
Forevermore
O' black night sun
The sole one
For all is one

For all is one

When the ravens cried
The drab sundering veil
Was torn in two and atwain
Before my very eyes
The vast arose
The infinite awen was I

For all is one
For one is lone
The weaving hand
Wields the endless knot
For one is all
Forevermore
O' black night sun
The sole one
For all is one

For all is one
For one is lone
The weaving hand
Wields the endless knot
For one is all
Forevermore
O' black night sun
The sole one
For all is one


11. AEON OF THE CRESCENT MOON

Throughout utter darkening
Eternal radiance echoes
Anon snowdrops soon shall burgeon
Erelong the cervine shall rise from slumber
Behold the rebirth of the cosmos
Recreation at the hands of the nameless

The crescent moonshine
Comes blazing its trail
Through the darkness to decline
To a limbonic sky so pale

When the final golden sickle has been swung
When the last mistletoe has been cut

It who is one and lone and all
Shall winnow and chaff at downfall
Shattering halos, healing blind eyes
The lithic words again shall rise

The crescent moonshine
Comes blazing its trail
Through the darkness to decline
To a limbonic sky so pale

When the final golden sickle has been swung
When the last mistletoe has been cut

When two daggers have pierced the heart
When the stones strike up again
The aeon of the crescent moon will arise

When the final golden sickle has been swung
When the last mistletoe has been cut

When two daggers have pierced the heart
When the stones strike up again
The aeon of the crescent moon will arise
