When the reign
Is high as the sun
Their rulers in time
Will come undone
Like a red burning flame
Burning past the trees
Under an open sky
They still can’t see
Twisted blackened flags that wave
Remind us why we left the grave
Blade Born
You came forth from the fire
With iron and with earth
Supreme, assuring, solemn
Your frost mysterious
Stranger of impossible dreams
Drawn by rumors
Of what it seems
Like a dancer of death
True lovers in pain
Til there’s nothing left
But our hearts remain
Twisted blackened flags that wave
Remind us why we left the grave
Blade Born
You came forth from the fire
With iron and with earth
Supreme, assuring, solemn
Your frost mysterious
Hearts gripped by the outcome
As we climb towards the mountain
Wave them high
Away from the mountain
No pain, no scent, no life
She lives, she moves, she rides
Void of the light inside
Our swords towards the fight
The blood will roll alright
Her spirit, take flight
Blade Born
Bye bye

Thunder all night long
Been moving in from the hills of Babylon
I might’ve wandered just a bit too far
Keepin a true phenomenon
Aurora
You got me
Searching for your silhouette
And smelling
Like saffron
That you laid on
When you laid upon my bed
Aurora
You’re a beauty in disguise
You’re a healer
So protect me with your light
Aurora
You got me
Waiting for the breeze
Hiding the one
First of the son
From the three
Rosie is the sky to me
A lover for all eternity
Oh lord don’t let me forget
That the skies above are so infinite
Ain’t no mystery to me
Is she marred by misery?
Aurora
You’re a beauty in disguise
Healer
Hiding the one,
First of the son
From the three

Come back
Harmony
Soon bleeds black
Dreamfast
Memories of horrors
From the past
Buried the strange
From their years of greed
Of greed and decay
Point to the sky
And hope you’re not right
Three moons in the night
Three suns shine
Valley erodes
Never release spiral
Free will
I will
Protect your road
Never believe your soil
Cruel rulers
Rejuvenate while bathing in their light
Calm healers
Glory of the world
Circle of stones
Crumbles
No sacred war
Dark is the light to draw the essence of life
Three moons in the night
Three suns shine
Valley erodes
Never release spiral
Free will
I will
Protect your road
Never believe your soil
Soon after the split
Your glowing violet
Will lead you back where you belong
Comin for ya
Hard boiled their comfort
Into the wire
Comin fast for your pariah
Three moons in the night
Three suns oh so tired
From a world in the prime
Of their underworld to the night
In the wake of the night
Dreams are stone
In the wake of the night
Two made one
By his hand
Or else
By none

The storms are gathering
In a world distorted
Their sense of innocence
Out of proportion
Years have gone and
Left us as our weakness
Turns to ashes
Worthless service for the one
In the belly of the ocean
You are the ghost inside my heart
You were never here
So far from home
Pounding waves caress my bones
Islands of memories
So far from home
Conceal my crying heart
As I face your ghost
Too scared to act afraid
And be exposed
Leave this phantom
Justify the path that you have taken
Worthless service for the one
In the belly of the ocean
You are the ghost inside my heart
You were never here
So far from home
Pounding waves caress my bones
Islands of memories
So far from home
It’s like a wound
That I’m trapped inside
Forest of souls
Whose trees have died
Release the flood
Walk from the edge
You’ll raise the tide
The blood is dead
Some will wait
All their lives
To find a reason
To sacrifice
I wrote the tale
I know it well
Fall away
For a spell
Sentient waters
Adrift at sea
Your world is drowning
In front of me
x2
I’m out of breath
But yet I breathe
I’m underwater
Am I asleep?
The waking deep
That I must leave
In the name of passion
Issues from the past
How foolish I have been
The love I’ve built
Is crashing all around me
I don’t know where to begin
Sentient water that has swallowed me
The waves are all around
The blood is coming from the water
I will not fall to the ground

Cosmos

In my mind
A nothingness
No sands of time
To reflect
A rush of howling sound
A brush with pain
Nothingness
Again
A rounded moon
And the crying wind
Under pine
And away he sits
We’ve seen your fields
Then we burn your shores
And when the time is right
You’ll lead them on
Starlight the past
From her heart
Into their hands
The aftermath
Never going back
Starlight the past
From their heart
Into her hands
The aftermath
Never going back
Take the child
The curtain falls on broken stars
To the cosmos
Beware the undertow
Beyond the sea
With my stretched wings
A heavy sorrow
Her spirit sings
She holds the key
Unearthed a map
And I will follow the path
And I recall the moon
An undeniable pull
How intimate and infinite her walk
In constellations
Will help me find
My Safe Return again
I dream of shooting stars
I dream in clouds of smoke
The universe it cries
And you and I are both awoke
The blaze it burns for days
And maybe I’m amazed
That I’m alive
How much longer will it last?
While my heart is stuck in the past?
Am I whole now?
Am I’m running?
Gotta keep on moving-
I’m running away
Run, run
Away
How much longer will it last?
While my heart is stuck in the past
Will my feet take me there?
I keep moving to the wind
