Deathless
03:12
|
|||
Eaten alive by this circumstance
Dead to declare, I’m living a second chance
Wide eyed and high, I lie in antiquity
Healed by this growing silence in me
Cycle of lives endlessly
Deemed to commit repeating themes
Lessons are loyal
And they don’t lie
Squared up, laid out
Centered on the floor
Now renouncing everything I know
Realizing life is the practice of death
Wide eyed high
I lay in antiquity
Just a shell of who I used to be
Accepting death is the practice of breath
Seeing life existing when I’m gone
Seen thru the eyes
Of the deathless one
Slowly sinking off the edge
Of all these lives
And quickly spiral down
The lines of your demise
I will come
I will go
Forget the past I know
I will come
I will go
Renounce the past I know
Return to flesh
A forest forgotten
No longer a thought
No longer a name
Cast to reveal
A sage becoming
The I that resides
And deathless remain

Company of Wolves
02:54
|

Bleed out this life of mine
If only for the final time
Trauma is a teacher on two feet
Walking towards you
Truth is a monster drenched in blood
That serves to show you
That all your life
You have known
This company of wolves you own
Pushing in this sword of fate
But only just a life too late
In every being is a mirror
That reflects you
In every heart is a piece of yourself
That stand before you
So all your life
You have known
This company of wolves you own
They’ve been there
To bleed and grow
This company of wolves you own
Now RUN!
And FIGHT!
Know that there is darkness in this light
Just GO!
INTO
The sanctity that lies in YOU
You’ll suffer a lifetime
Learning how to heal
Standing tall a thousand times
Before your strong enough to kneel
You’ll suffer a lifetime
Learning how to heal
How strong can you be?!

Vulture/Decay Serenade

|

Rapture
Of this decay
Seething burning yearn
Encircle this prey
Captured
By shadowed shroud
Feasting on the life
Of death that is found
Systematic design
Driven by life
A vulture takes hold
Of destruction in growth
Systematic design
Driven by life
A vulture takes hold
Of destruction in growth
****
Seething burning
Circle of life
Flows beyond
The visions you hold
Deep within
And so softly stir
Voices of
The dimensions heard
Feeling breathing
Forever known
Sacred sense
Of all that is shown
Seeing hearing
All of the world
The living from
This dying unfurls
Wings that fall
In ancient release
And so shall it begin
In what now must cease

Long Buried
03:53
|
|||
Through a silver door
Onto paths between
Hidden unseen
The green of what must be
Gray within the lines
Given unto dreams
The road that always winds
This blue that you implore
A red that you retain
On a blood stained sea
Endless golden hue
Brings this up for you
A deep embedded storm
Of purple fitting you
Not the shadow of the black
Night upon your back
Under an Iridescent moon
Shines the light of what is coming soon
And so on do we go
My arms like vines
Reach to wrap you
And foster your glow
To know your rapture
See inside your heart
As vast as time and space
Relive these things
That have been long buried
Beneath an open sky
Runs the road you own
These colors always mark
The light within the dark
And darkness always shows
Just when you’re alone
That endless golden hue
Connects my path to you
And I know
This is all
What is long buried within you

A shedding snake
Reclaims it's Now
As even deeper it rises
A newly adorned serpent
To release this forever
As never to follow
A sleep sanctified
Alive in its awakening
Brightening the shine
Of a cruel and blinded son
Sending life in his wake
So wake up!
And don’t you dare turn away
I seek to know and grow
And love just one more day
And release this forever
As never to follow
A sleep sanctified
Alive in its awakening
Brightening the shine
What’s left inside our hearts
This push and pull between us
Begs to tear this all apart
What’s left inside our hearts
This push and pull between us
Begs to tear this all apart
And so alignment on this hill
Is raising mounds among the tides
These circles open wide
The closing of the deep

So Covert
03:40
|
|||
Again I’m out that door
Forsaken and forlorn
You’ve got this hold on me
And I’ve got to break free
I’m never coming back
There’s nothing else that you can say
We met here in this place
Lost in shadow
Once again I know
That I’ve got to go
So covert I see
That this joke is on me
Cause now you’ve crossed that line
With no more steps to take
The power of a mind bent on souls to take
Little did I know I would have to go
AHHHH
As far away from you as I can get
Little did I know this I would regret
As darkness turns to day
I see there’s something past your eyes
Are you so alone?
Victim of this lie?
Your heart without a home
You can’t hide
AHHHH
Cause you know you crossed that line
Now there’s no more steps to take
Product of a lie bent on hearts to break
Little did I know I would have to go
Oh how many lies you told
I don’t want to know
So I have to stay away
You can lure me back no longer
I’m taking it day by day
And I’ll move on

Ancestral Ash
03:49
|
|||
I am not this flesh
When it is gone
I will live on
Beyond this earthly realm
A phoenix rides the waves and tides
Of ancestral ash
Lifetimes along the way display
A smoldering path
Testing the one inside
That which you know is a lie
Rise again and again
Destroy and create
Transmuting all of the past
Within without
As above so below
Seeing clearly what is not shown
Trusting the one who resides
The one that so easily hides
Silent in hearing it’s voice
Currents in flow of the choice
All these lives
Entangle a mystery
Ingrained inherited fear
Waves of spiraling regret
Fueling flames
That forever relent
Burn now
Allow
All these lives
ALLOW
Burn now
Flames
Relent
Oooo Intact it must be
Living true through all these lies
It’s a trap to not come clean
In an era of disguise
So know it’s pure to kill the self
Living proof through all these lives
Endured you know it must be
This ashen path of fire
I am not this flesh
When it is gone
I will live on
Beyond this earthly realm

Mind Tamer
01:30
|

I’m way down
I’m so low
I’m everything you need to grow
I lead you
So blindly
I’m everything that won’t let go
I’m lurking
Inside you
I’m exactly what you need to show
There’s no way
To avoid me
I’ll always be right where you are
Now my mind howls in my veins
Icy fog my ego’s breath
Cycles releasing the essence of lifetimes
And bring forth illusions of death
Winds within my mind
Will shake thee
Beasts prowling my mind
Must CHASE THEE
A soul to overcome
These doldrums of lifetimes
Taming the flesh of
These beasts within my mind

The Keep
03:28
|
|||
You tried to cut me away
Like you had something to prove
And now it’s me with nothing to lose
You’re steady taking more
Than what’s deserved to you
And it’s clear what I’ve got to do
You keep digging for that right
You keep lying to yourself now
Simply moving out of spite
And you can’t keep it
YEAH
You keep digging for that right
You can’t compensate enough now
Simply moving out of spite
And you can’t keep it!
You tried to cut me away
Like you had something to prove
And now it’s me with nothing to lose
(((YEAH)))
Can you recall the day
When you turned away
And denied just how you came?
Will there ever be
Another chance to see
One more time to not feel the shame?
YEAHHH
In the light of moons
Your dawning heart will be revealed
Stumbling thru this new found dark
Don’t try to hide
Inside your mind or on your knees
As you’re reduced to a spark
A cradled power
Just like sand falls thru your hands
And the backs
You stepped on along the way
Theirs are the faces you will see
On your way down
And their eyes are what you keep
AS YOU FADE AWAY

Green Meadow Glowing
01:17
|
|||
In a green meadow glowing
Midst a purple winter sun
EYES
Like big brown knotholes
In ancient forest trees
Where creatures of the night lay quiet
Lay QUIET
A silhouetted figure
Veiled and soft
Shielded by the woods
The deepest gaze
That burst my heart
To flame
Her arms like roots
Risen from the ground
In mossy embrace
And hair of vines
Hanging from the beautiful
Bounty of fear
So clear
I seek to know you inside
And grow within you

Mastering Beasts
03:33
|
|||
Here in this freshly fallen snow
What are you pretending not to know
As the walls build up around you
Seasons change and rearrange
Now in the mirror you seem strange
As your voice begins to haunt you
Now you’ve opened up the door
To everything you want and more
But you could burn the place around you
Out of hand or in a row
Accepting what’s already known
Releases what has always bound you
So glean here from these lessons of life
Sworn to the soul and sabotaging it now
You never know what will start to show
Condemned to relive ‘lest you see past the form
So conquer the self there is no other way
Shun the beliefs that direct this decay
No I don’t show all of this pain
From all these things that I have overcame
Damned if I’m right
Wrong if I’m free
You’ll never see what it takes to be me
The more that you know
The more you will feel
These things from me you can not ever steal
Mastering beasts that survive in my head
Cause I’ll never stop ‘till the day that I’m dead

Like Glass
02:52
|
|||
Would you be led away?
Could I be left to bide my time?
Will there come a day
When my heart won’t break like glass?
So how much can you take?
Before you walk away?
Turn your crying eyes to the sun
In all this binding
It equals loathing
Yet slowly growing
Holding
This intention
Overflowing
In this knowing
Would you be led astray?
Could I be left to bide my time?
Will there come a day
When my heart won’t break like glass?
((( SHATTERED )))
Living in a glass house
You can’t not see through these walls
Subject to the stones so thrown
By the ghosts that haunt these halls
Will there come a day?
So tell me how much will they take?
Before they walk away?
Feasting on your very life’s blood

A Passion Peril
01:48
|

It’s your face
I still see
I can’t erase
It’s this love
I know remains
That I cannot replace
It’s this heart
That still bleeds
Echoes of your name
I’m risking the pain
Of death
All for love
Once again
I give my heart to the sun
Risking the pains of death
All for love
Once again
I give my heart to the sun
Risking the pains of death
All for love
ALL FOR LOVE
It’s your face
I STILL SEE
It’s this love
THAT REMAINS
It’s our hearts
THAT STILL BLEED
And I CAN’T ERASE

Phantom/Insanity's Horse
03:18
|

Like a phantom
I will pass you
Silent
Like a figure
Right beside you
Hidden
Like a shadow
You will feel me
Surrounding
Like a whisper
From inside you
Resounding
Now where on earth would I be
Cause that sun doesn’t rise anymore
When darkness comes
****
In the dawning light you will
Call to me
Everything you’ve known seems now
To fall away
A failed sense of fear
Lurks within your pride
Now it’s time to face
How what is must be
Everything you’ve known
Seems now to fall away
A failed sense of fear
Lurks within your pride
Now it’s time to face
How what is must be
And because
You did not learn
Therefore you’ll turn
Through these
Haunted veils
Of endless night
So ride this horse
Of sanity’s end
The living death
Of evidence you can’t protect
What I admit
You can’t predict
And what I convey
Oh I KNOW
You’ll never say
And that’s why you’re here
THAT’S WHY YOU’RE HERE

Holding An Open Heart
02:37
|

As you walk
Your open heart
Out into the sun
My trees are solace dear
Where you can run
I will reach to hold you
As you are
And remind you
Once again
I’ll be there for you
Near or far
Holding this open heart
The blood in me
Lives in you
This I know is true
The love I’ve known my dear
Thrives there too
These steps alone
Within the dark
When I saw the light
You were the spark
It is there
You will know
Into yourself
You will grow
Holding this open heart
For you is what I’m here to do
The blood in me lives in you
This I know is true
|

Can you see
This ride
Inside
I crawled alone
Here to you
And this I am prepared to do
Moving forth
And pressing thru
To that sanctity in you
No more denying signs
The world has taught you where to run
Push yourself away from shore
Cause they can’t push you anymore
All you need
It’s there in you
And this you are prepared to do
So let this ride
Run on and on
Upon the tracks of where you’ve gone
This is just a ride you know
Meant for you to grow
Based on what you show
From all that you’ve known
No more denying signs
The world has taught you where to run
Push yourself away from shore
Cause they can’t push you anymore
Once this ride starts
There’s really never a stop
What seems like pain
Is simply the up and down
Upon these tides and waves
That your heart does bound
See the shapes of those also on their routes
See this rage inside
And soothe this fearful tide
Cause this is just a ride
But know that it’s your time
