I am the witness, I am the origin
I am the keeper
Witness to astral conception
Witness to grand chaos
Infinitely strong I know
Inside a cosmic womb
Scatter and fragment
Lost within the void
I see only silhouettes
Forever in the pillars of time
All the aimless visions finally becoming clear (x4)

I am the witness, I am the origin
I am the keeper
Together we sing
Hymns to the chosen
Transcendent voices
Unravelling the stitches of time
We welcome our daughter of the universe
Behold... a goddess is born

The Day of Wrath
05:42
|
|||
Wondrous sound the trumpet sings
Through the sepulchers it shall bring
All before my throne it shall bring
Day of wrath
Doom impends
David's Word
Sibyl's Blending
Earth in ash
Day of wrath, and doom impending
David's word with Sibyl's blending
The earth in ashes
All life is ending
What fear mankind shall rend
From the cosmos I shall descend
Upon my sentence shall all depend
Low you kneel with heart's submission
Scattered ashes; your contrition
I'm lost in loathing
Your last condition
That day of tears and yearning
Death is struck and nature quaking
All of creation is awaking
To its judge an answer making
Answer
Making
With ancient powers I command... Command the sky
In a fire you all shall die

The Grieving
05:17
|
|||
The seed of life
Resown, resown
Nurtured by a stream of tears
Flowing back to earth
New life harvested
Thickening the air
Breathing in water
Something is missing
Someone is gone
And grief scars over
Lingering
Blossoming
Slipping away
Forget, yet always remember
Learn to live
Embrace the pain
Wait for comfort
Finding none
Grief finds us all
So much left undone
Now I cannot stay
Though my time is short
I savor each moment with peace
Look beyond my shadow
I hold fast
Chasing the endless void
Grieve for me no longer (x3)
I’m free

Rainlight Ascension
06:51
|
|||
For a moment in a day
Where the rainlit sun shines gray within the silver moon
Where the sky kisses the ocean
In the billowy clouds,
You will find me... And find me you will....
Sleep deprived by the ring of bone
The sky children sing rainlit lullabies
Cocooned inside a storm
Woven monoliths turn to glass
Gaze on me no more... I will only shy away
Hide away from me no more... And let me fly away
Gaze on me no more... I will only fly away
Shy away from me no more... And let me die away
Like a child we fear what we cannot comprehend
Like the unfolding frailty of a merciful touch
Or the limitless knowledge locked within a comatose mind
You will be lost again, as my eyes swallow you whole
We slip into a weightless sense of being
Endlessly grasping for a memory of tomorrow
A dream of yesterday and the inevitable loss of sanity
For one moment in a day where the moonlit sky shines gray
Within the silver sun where the rain kisses the earth
Under a blanket of meadow, that is where you will find me
And find me you will...
Gaze on me no more... I will only die away
Fly away from me no more... And let me cry away
Gaze on me no more... I will only die away
Fly away from me no more... And let me cry away

The Impressionist
06:42
|
|||
Changing light, flowing colors
Delicate strokes caress the fibers
The perception of time, redefined
The brush be my sword, the canvas my flesh
Arms open to the churning web
Blurred visions in my eyes
A metamorphosis inside a painted chrysalis
Fashioned from threads of my own skin
Paint me away, shift my shape in the still life
I was myself and now I am the still life
Loathsome, monstrous, deranged visions
Brushed away glimmers of sanity
Open me up for true clarity
Whilst sketching terrors for all to see
A mural of glowing confusion and anxiety
Laughing puppets rife with folly drowning deep in me
Their death like smiles lurk behind the canvas
Paint me away, shift my shape in the still life
I was myself and now I am the still life
Incandescence, a breathing rhythm
Remembering the essence of color
This is my world, this is my canvas
I found myself and now you are the still life
Swarms of petals fall from sky
Losing their color as they die
Brush away innocence and reveal the horror
Paint away movement and air... shifting shapes
I found myself and now you are the still life

Prodigy
04:00
|
|||
Born into light... born into darkness
Born into light and into darkness
All seeing all knowing
A heart beats with the pulse of the earth
The prodigy of an astral conception
Born into light and into darkness
Growing old within the womb
As wonders rest spinning in chaos
Potential courting calamity
With miracles bound..
Yes, miracles bound to curses
A caged bird trills of distant freedom
Soars higher to clouds becoming a tiny spec in the sky
Vanishing to resonate balance
Yesterday’s journey at an end
Riding amber waves into the heart of the sun
Safely cocooned in my vessel
Dreaming of arrival
Born into light and into darkness
Casting shade on tomorrow sun
A tide of constellations ebb and flow
Like a pulse within a supernal calm

In Remebrance
04:06
|
|||
Snow caressed by a gentle spring
washed away with summer's golden hand
A smile thins, gently kissed by the chaos
Forgetting all that has been lost in the void
Spending days upon days
tracing symmetry in the clouds
the enigma of a human mind
Gone are the days which have passed
A cold and soothing breeze
carries whispers of names unremembered
Seeing life glisten and shine
Like a single glowing blossom among the scattered leaves
The weight of hope rests in my hands
Hidden away to be saved for tomorrow
Traces of light from another day
Hidden away as only a faint pulse
Remember the soil surrounding you
Nature's bed welcomes the weary
A cathartic dream of Gaia's last wish
She convalesces... In our wake

The Earth Song
05:31
|
|||
Breath in, breath out, inhale, exhale
In every breath I take, there is life.
In every breath I take, there is death
Stillness in each moment passed.
My bed beneath the soil.
My heart beats with the pulse of the earth
My body the essence of life.
All remains unchanged as I sleep
Breath in, breath out, inhale, exhale
My lungs fill with soil
Blanket of grass and trees above me
With their roots, with their roots and tendrils
Coursing through my veins
On my lips teardrops of dew
Softly kiss away old life for new
Not rest nor sleep nor death
I am always unknown
I am always unknown
Thus begins my cleansing
The ashes of Eden beneath my feet
A fleeting moment of ecstasy over me

Rain fell grey on the bleakest day
I wake just for today
Try to remember the hues
We can’t see the colors between
I am see through; I have no secrets
I run fast, to reach the sky
To touch the bright yellow sun as it’s swallowed by the grey
Bleak clouds over shimmers (x3)
The day disappears into beautiful grey
Cover your eyes, the bright, glowing white
Unfading shade, hiding the hues
A cold summer day, swallowed by the gray
I believe more than nothing (x2)
Shadows cast as stars gleam below
Swimming in the air
We are real
Black and white in my veins
I believe more than nothing
Bleak clouds over shimmers my final breath
Tones of blue and red bring color back into the grey

What We Have Become
07:47
|
|||
Warming breath within my hands
Footsteps gleaming brighter than
Eyes in the sun - making us go blind
With so much yet to see
So much to see.... fading
Breathing deep, within my hands
The light that warms my skin
Still you never told me who I am
I can only try to find myself again
Burning from beneath my skin
I feel the frigid numbness
Deep inside in my mouth...
Another warm breath in my clasped hands
I hear my strange breath
Within my own laugher
Hypnotic and sublime,
Leading me deeper within
Warm breath in my clasped hands
Fading footsteps in sunlit paths
Shifting the delicate balance
Between two handfuls of earth

Another Day
04:41
|
|||
Petals like shells, broken
Deep roots seep color from the soil
Grey days, dark waters glisten
Remember... Another day
Trees sip from the stream
Winds whistle, rivers rustling reeds
Rain drops into the placid pool, rippling
Remember... Another day
Children sleep, haunted
Solitary, closed eyes gleam
Secrets unweaving
Thoughts free... Another day
I never
Yesterday patterns I see
Time doesn't matter
Remember... Another day
Gather tears from dust
Uncanny, perfect shapes at your feet
I, deep within your dreams
You sing… Another day
Looming figures hide faces
Wounded, whispering names
Footsteps chase sleep
Awaken... Another day
Heavy wings... pull me deeper
Ground beckons my embrace
Down, clinging to last breath… Another day
