Eternity Is Night
03:46
|
|||
|
As the chorus sings
“There is peace, for all of eternity is night”
And at the days end
We are bone and twine and the glory of our time
We ask no mercy
No reprieve nor stay
Hours here pass slowly
These are endless days
The eye is open
It was born anew
Walls once were golden
Now a dusky hue
We should move on
Yet we must remain
And lie together
To the song’s refrain

Talons
04:14
|
|||
|
Show me the light which blinds you
And its burning rays
Sing me the hymn which soothes you
And all of its glorious phrase
Show me the stars which guide you
On the trail as the daylight fades
Talons grow
Reaching out for our lives
Divide and devour the light
Shredding the seed which was sown
As the Sun God pales and lows

Providence
03:32
|
|||
|
Behind the stain of ages you turn dust
You’re so cold, Freyja
Disguised, disarmed and faceless - beauty rusts
You’re so cold, Freyja
Fire in the furnace, coals on grate
We grow old, you rest below
Silence - on the northern shore you await
Solemn and veiled, in the mist concealed
Time never wearies - this is shown
In the shadow of those that pass before
Time never wearies - this is known
Providence guides the faithful home

The Crossing
02:39
|
|||
|
In the dark I dream of Constantine
And the treasures he’d kept hid
Of an ice world in the desert
Where we trace the paths of the dead
In truth, we have crossed over
The river valley looms – and the undertaker
With those lifeless eyes
Glazed over me
Forty days and nights
The unending silent scream
Ghostly faces shuffle by
And their dirges stain the sky
As they forage through great copper chests
For the breath that they’d been denied
Storm clouds roll and anguish
The barren cities of our heart
And the four winds hammer constantly
Crest-fallen waves we part
We sail – and never to return
I lay and dream of Constantine to the end

All We Leave Behind
04:19
|
|||
|
There’s a song we know
And the chill wind blows it away
Verse and note
There’s a word was spoke
And the silence drowns it
Our name and our hope
Dreams
Life
And all we leave behind
As we sail
On wings so high
We’re set free to meet with ruin tonight
We are free to pass on
With one guiding light
This procession march jubilant
Long gilded road
Our one guiding light
Now piercing this terminal mist
Lead us on
Our drums beat so steady and strong
Our trumpets blast fury and drone
Urging us – haste
Wait no more
Where was peace is no more
|

Solguden
03:55
|
|||
|
We awaken at your knee
And we are faithful
As you ascend upon the east
We remain faithful
To the heavens
Dream
This world infernal
And our living fire
Life giving morning
In you we breathe
When the lies have all been told
We are still believers
And the fire has burned so low
We are all believers
|

The Song Of The Siren
03:54
|
|||
|
Oceans rise
The song of the siren
We’re given so little time
Broad and high
The wall between us
Endlessly circling, always ascending
To see is to grieve
The light never ending
On the length of her hair
Yet she’s gone
What will be?
See the soft light descending
On her brow – cold and pale
Yet she’s gone
What will be
Eyes ablaze
A lake of fire
Lancing that frame on the wall
Silence now
The shadow is calling
Penitent voices, laid wreaths and cold roses
To see is to grieve

At The Footsteps Of Dawn
03:13
|
|||
|
I have come for the ages
And the ages to me
When finally I witness eternity
Of wisdom and sight
Of death and denial
I am shown to the world
And the world to me
We solemnly mourn
At the footsteps of dawn
When the stone doors are sealed
Interred majesty
We stand on the wings of the morning
Beating back the advance of the day
Yet these wings beat just like a hammer
In endless flight
|

Dies Irae
05:08
|
|||
|
Day of wrath - a day we mourn
As fulfilled - by prophets warned
Now the heavens and the world in ashes burn
See the pride of man is rent
See his arbiter descend
On whose sentence rests eternity for all
Wondrous voice – the trumpet call
Through each tomb and living hall
All are penitent before his hallowed throne
And our justice seated there
Which was hidden – never spared
He decreed that no deed unavenged prevail
