The Sun Behind the Clouds 10:26
lyrics
download
Mid-day’s shine gives way to the blackest night Twisted branches motion towards a deeper sky Lit only by the moon and candle light I see surrounding me, hundreds of glowing eyes The sun behind the clouds Silent to all but those who wish to hear the sound The sun behind the clouds Celestial winds carrying dynamic ground A throne sits unclaimed in the center Once buried, now emerges with the winter Separate worlds fuse to become one Ruler of one man’s world, the king’s job is done

Circle of Veneration 03:33
lyrics
download
Marble chariot climbs outta heaven Northbound where it’s hard to tell In the cheap seats they’re smoking hundreds Mary broke the window, couldn’t take the smell Savior steps out on the aisle Beguiles the immaculate queens Go wild when they dance with his cloven hoof Soaked clear through their new jeans Revelers gathered Round idols of three Received on the tongue Devotion’s orgy Virgin mother who art above me Painted in a new red light below What we do seems a touch unholy But I guess only heaven knows A car back they’re dealing tables And betting on the holy tail Bluffing goat gave up every last chip To chase the brides unveiled A smoke-filled wagon southbound come From the floor of the fiery sea A face spoken only in riddle Where they meet, we wait to see

Fabula De Creatio 04:45
lyrics
download
In age of impetus eternal Dwells a boundless voidscape Possessor of none and all Chaos’ spirit, a featureless face Created by fates bound Knots in serpent’s skin New ways in recurring coil found Divine and freely dancing Polar peace of three decays Fast came legions abyss Kosmos, work of parricidal war Breaks in love, light born with a kiss Clues left, lines in blood of archetypes She, who sows and reaps returned offense He, who with cruelty’s horns, the feast commence They, whose conscious thirst the morning quench Follow its star, descendant spirits Hear creation’s pipes Satan, Syres, Ego Follow ascendant back

Planet Augustine 08:06
lyrics
download
The summer comes in the eve of sand Howls lift themselves from the trees all across the land A vision of the future, this is what I see On Planet Augustine, the day for you and me It seems like a thousand years are in the past Yet not a second on earth has gone to pass Someday soon, on Planet Augustine the day will come When day has turned to night and the moon is the new sun He wants to fly but they just won’t let him They just keep him locked in this mortal prison Someday soon, on Planet Augustine the day will come The planet will not be rediscovered by anyone We will find Planet Augustine when the sky’s gone numb The planet will not be rediscovered by anyone Someday soon, on Planet Augustine the day will come When day has turned to night and the moon is the new sun

The Long Game 04:24
lyrics
download
Will they see? What you’ve won Won’t you plea? All for fun Will they ask? Where you’ve been Don’t you know? Time’s come when You win back the fount of tears In which you swim in search of sin Why don’t you? Dive beyond What’s the view? First time fond How’s it feel? Coming true Were those dreams? Inside you That insist the count of years That separates must have no say Will it hurt? Friends say so Why not try? Then you’ll know But what’s the rush? I won’t force How’s the course? Taken slow Brakes put on the mount of fears That’s grown up from longing seeds you sow Eyes like those, what’s the use Healthy dose? What’s come loose We’ve just begun, who’s yet sung Of their ban on lust so young From down the maze of halls I’ve seen Shutting midst the mass serene Ablaze, one soars above the mean The fire-starting, high-school queen At shadow’s gate, I sit in wait For our affair, ordained by fate

Home 04:26
lyrics
download
A path lays before me One that i must follow The long road ahead is calling me It’s saying it’s time to go We both know I can’t stay here forever But I make this promise to you I might be thousands of miles from this place But I’ll still be right next to you Wherever I might be found Over the hills or in castles grand I’ll always find a home Back where I began I hear the wild’s call Calling me to be free No one else can hear it I know it’s meant for me Don’t cry for me now I’ll be back some day But now I’ve got to answer the call I’ve gotta go my own way When what’s to do’s been done And all the stories have been told When there are no tears left to shed I know where I’ll find a home When it’s my final hour And the devil’s come for me I’ll know you were always right But I don’t wanna wait and see I got no use sitting here Crying over my sins My wings might be black as night But I still gotta fly with the wind

Warriors of the Hesh 02:46
lyrics
download
Antisocial misanthropes living deep underground Breathing air of hashish, swimming in sea of sound Always in your mind but you’ll always ignore You’ll be thinking about us but continue to abhor Hesh! Warriors! Home is wherever’s unknown Hesh! Warriors! Fighting a war of our own Blistering the ears, even long after you’re deaf Screeching and pounding, even long after your death Living in the shadows far away from daylight Soon begins the hunt, prowlers of the night We are warriors of the hesh Smell us coming with weed-laden breath Nomadic outlaws on a blackened path Turn and run or face our wrath

Black River's Portrait of the Westward Star 07:52
lyrics
download
Pools of obsidian Where the waters rise Far above oblivion Projecting sinking skies In the mirror fitting him Light in dark’s disguise Three offerings been given when The flipping coin bestows surprise Tremors beneath full frigid moonfall Resisting all except for her To eagerly answer the sun’s call One must be as the black river Surface wholly still Hear the sonic humming grow A test of frozen will Cut wide open just to know The dagger is the quill Which reflection’s ink shall sow Timeless axiom still As above, so it is below Warmth’s embrace from below fell O comforting presence, princess of hell Tree’s edge, the hint of footfalls O flirtatious magnet, draw closer your calls Each teasing time the hunger’s grown O so pleasing angel, beckons your throne Between life’s fibers upward crawl O Astral sunlight, seen through one and all Covered is the light Of the westward star capsizing Hidden in a fog The haze so hypnotizing It’s coming down fast Can’t ignore this feeling With the crimson horizon comes A great concealing Her eye casts cover of shadow To fool the mind, to face our fears We already know Too close now, she’s near Driving down a dead end path Frozen cold in the crossfire While many spirits of the olde Silently conspire And though their plan May just be forming Shades of dark red desire brings What the black night’s been warning Their eyes, follow as we go From far behind where shadows leer We already know They face their death, it’s clear

Freedom 04:51
lyrics
download
Freedom, all that I seek Seconds turn to days turn to weeks I’ve been waiting so long for freedom to come for me I feel hopeless in this state I’m slowly rotting away There’s nothing more I can say Than how I want to get away I’m in a prison, I wanna break out The guards are all around I hear freedom’s distant sound I’m lost here but when I’m free I’ll be found Fly me to freedom Where my fallen angels dance That’s where I know I’ll be a free man

Mirror Reflection 03:34
lyrics
download
Rage flows right through the wall Where you search for any kind of cover at all Just when you think the attack is done The second strike has only just begun Rivers of electrifying adrenaline Face to face with a mirror reflection Time’s running out, acts of war exact The hunter’s now the hunted as primal powers react Fear from both sides of the glass Long gone before you awake Hear the deafening crash and arise Nightmares start to hunt for life Tall dark shadows On the prowl Silence broken By a bestial howl Try to hide your face That won’t last Seeking refuge from the rain The hail of glass Face to face With a mirror reflection Face to face With a mirror reflection

Hell or High Water 04:35
lyrics
download
Next year today I’ll be on my way Flying far away From here This time will be A distant memory Flying far away From here We will find The primal mind Come hell or high water We will fly When the sand of the hourglass Has fallen and the time has passed, we will Fly far away From here Following the cosmic sound High above the clouds, we will Fly far away From here What’s written has been done Three have become one Now the desert sun’s Sinkin’ low Next year we will fly To the ocean in the sky Til the day you and I are Sinkin’ low We can escape our fate We can escape the slaughter We will fly Come hell or high water
