1. SING NO CODA

No one hears the pulling of the bell,
Only the bird of my coffin tree

Wind and salt whisper high above my cell,
Jackdaw please free me!

Oh my love, from grace I never fell,
From under the shroud I ache to speak

Asphyxiate in silence
Asphyxiate in silence
Asphyxiate in silence
To swim with the gods in cosmic dust

Is my body broken?
Am I diseased?
I am, it seems, my own enemy

The voices never cease taunting me,
But I will fight my way back to thee

Sing no coda by the stream,
Instead my friends, wait, wait for me

The voices never cease haunting me,
But I will fight my way back to thee

Sing no coda by the stream,
Instead my friends, wait, wait for me

Sing no coda by the stream,
Instead my friends, wait, wait for me!


2. ANDROMEDA'S WING

Called by a voice
Pulled from my bed
Torpid and led

Called by a voice
Pulled from my bed
Torpid, subdued, and dead

Amidst the winds,
Abreast the chanting trees

I stray from the lane,
Past loris eyes; past fireflies

They appeared to me beside the spring,
Out from under Andromeda’s wing
Am I chosen? We have chosen

I’m wheeling in flight
( I )
Over the road
( Left )
I will risk the darkness,
( My )
to gamble for the light
( Body )

Hallowed for us,
Fallow forest
Crippled clay canvas,
Swept clean of us
Hallowed for us,
Fallow forest
Crippled clay canvas


3. EKPYROTIC

Skimming grit from atop the rolling gantry
Dark matter substrate

Field of space-time, fine-tuned for life
Stardust incarnate

Slipping the gunner’s knot doctrine spell
Wily witch moving

Hidebound malice cannot breach
Anima mundi

Each of us holds a seed of power
That cannot be thieved

They can only cast distractions
Vaporous haze of sleep

LAY BARE THE KEEP!

Vincit Omnia Veritas
Vincit Omnia Veritas
Vincit Omnia Veritas
Vincit Omnia Veritas

Threads of the wells of metal
Liquid snake rising

You think I’m afraid to go dark
But I remember

I am both the leaf and the root
Over and under

Like the rat you think I am
I chew through your trap

Shredding your crude seams reveals my
Ekpyrotic dream

Great birds once human gather to drink
In the high desert night

WE ARE THE LIGHT!

Amor Vincit Omnia
Amor Vincit Omnia
Amor Vincit Omnia
Amor Vincit Omnia


4. HUBRIS

Who plays the agonist
In skies below us
Waiting in passages
Prescribing onus

The unknowing captive
Penitent and shaking,
To your dismay
Must surely awaken

Chasing the sage inside
I tumble wanton to the mud
In skirts of white

No fear of the coil
Nor the tides that take my mind
Nor the tides that take my kind

Aah aah uuh uuh, aah aah uhh uuh,
Hubris like smoke in your mane
Your mane
Aah aah uuh uuh, aah aah uhh uuh,
Hubris like smoke in your mane

Aah aah uuh uuh, aah aah uhh uuh,
Hubris like smoke in your mane
Your mane
Aah aah uuh uuh, aah aah uhh uuh,
Hubris like smoke in your mane

Spheres of ash
And points of pride
Along the fireroad
Toward demise

Hickory switch
Flick of the whip
Lash of the strap
Taste of iron between teeth
Taste of iron between teeth
Taste of Iron between teeth

Ride now, wretch!
Do not look back!


5. BONE DUST

Shoal! Heed my summons!
Kore! Seed thy furrow!
Foal! Test thy stratum!

Host! Into Battle!
Host! Into Battle!
Host! Into Battle!


6. DISPIRIT

I am here
I will wait

I will watch
You are not alone

It tears
It tears at the flesh

Ripping, shearing
It exposes the bone

It tears
It tears at the mind

Sinking, drowning
It entombs the soul

It is cold
A cold dark place

There is no light
There is no warmth

It is a path,
A path walked alone

There is no end
There is no escape
