| Times Of Grace
1. Suspended In Light
2. The Doorway
to burrow my way through death and flesh
all beasts i let out ú ill buried untold
to lock my cage ú unleash the fallen
fear eyes contain light in my soul
feral snakes collide burn in my skull
freeing the circles ú that night i saw a burial train
all thieves i bludgeon
from ice i burn breathe astral plane
greyed eye enclosed ú seer east is gone
from now on, farther on
i'm nailed to the crossroads searching for the piece of me
that wasn't mine, blood dripping from my hands
my end has seen the figure of my lightkeeper
standing in the doorway
3. Under The Surface
behind a burning red fog
the great mind swims in confusion
its blood ferments in anger
honor and wisdom will cower
your river's flow is damned all to hell
drifting in a current to stagnate
encircle the vision of rust
your river's flow is damned all to hell
strong hearts soar through blindness
tearing the fog, tearing the eyes to clarity
to a place where truth is seen
your shell is hollow, so am i
the rest will follow, so will i
4. The Last You'll Know
he is the last we'll know ú mercy for you
he is the last you'll know
all revealed in our solace ú see three eyes
all our crimes trial waits everyone
the presence of old eyes is here
grant me the pure heart ú we've lived through
in times of light fire is water
breath and reach to home
all answer, transcendence ú all present
to guide us through terminus and feed us to light
5. Belief
trying to stand clear of the scent of the dogs
in a sweat until i ú wave of extinction scatter seed
all that is growing clear energy
within our vision hover wasps
air and glower fill our veins
heavy mining under the fall
figures forming stretching on
6. Exist
7. End Of The Harvest
like the walls of your stare, you will fall (within you)
succumb to the new and give way
old fields will fail (memory)
yielding crops of rock ad dust
a book lies open, its pages crumble at your touch
words breed lies (writhe)
wind feeds fire unseen
have you ever tasted the soil (destiny)
and felt your own death in your veins
shield your eyes from the moon (found them all)
as it mocks your wretched self
with fire in your heart the truth lies clear
words breed lies (writhe)
wind feeds fire unseen
bend your thoughts, unveil your soul
now drink, revive, reach, scrape and bind
8. Descent
9. Away
cease this long, long rest
wake and risk a foul weakness to live
when it all comes down
watch the smoke and bury the past again
sit and think what will come
raise your fears and cast them all away
10. Times Of Grace
the presence unfound comes to me now
endure, see this knowledge denied out of mind
to deny ú until i say ú feed us alive
sight as i speak ú inside us born
cherished and driven
the secrets of stars hide within the grey
this grey will fade, so will the stars cease to shine
fear realized ú come as shape ú feed desolate
cull the snake, cull path to god
make us see, wrath to survive
darkness looms, the moons have stricken
showing all, constant revision
all structures collapse, mysteries unfold
borne from the skies in these times of grace
prey device ú immersion ú feed us alive
sight as i speak ú inside us born
cherished and driven
11. The Road To Sovereignty
A Sun That Never Sets
1. Erode
2. The Tide
Where are they now?
They are gone.
I saw them run,
run to the sea.
Under the waves all has been said.
Their voices are free.
Free from the sun's stare,
free from the noise of lost souls.
An exiled sound washed in with the tide.
Their voices are free.
Free from the sun's stare,
free from the noise of lost souls.
On the waves their voice carries on.
3. From The Hill
From the hill - I've been watching - stealing the light.
In my dreams I touch animal blood rich earth swallow it down deep into my soul.
It feeds her war and raises my true nature. When I awake I am whole.
All the gods are screaming.
My feet of clay lead me on through the void and far beyond
to demonstrate my will and path, to embrace the wolf in her glory.
All hail her and wash this time in blood.
The horizon will burn, rise in fire and return to us.
4. A Sun That Never Sets
A sun that never sets burns on.
New light is this river's dawn.
When to speak of a word so old
is to relearn what is known.
A time to think back and move on.
Rebuild the loves of lives long gone.
The blood that flows through me is not my own.
The blood is from the past, not my own.
The blood that leads my life is not my own.
The blood is strength, I'm not alone.
5. Falling Unknown
With the wind at your back and the light in your eyes,
the freeze of your blindness will show.
Under the cloud cover, the flares signal change.
Will you ever know?
The fields they are burning, the smoke chokes your breath.
Will you stand or run?
You dream of a mountain, the peaks rise to the sky.
Will you answer its call?
Is your heart still beating? Can you feel this at all?
This landslide will bury us all.
With the storm on your mind and the clouds in your eyes,
will you survive?
Lie in wait, I will lie awake.
Falling through a world unknown.
6. From Where Its Roots Run
Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raido, Kenaz, Gebo, Wunjo, Hagalaz,
Nauthiz, Isa, Jera, Eithwaz, Perth, Algiz, Sowilo, Tiwaz, Berkano,
Ehwaz, Mannaz, Laguz, Ingwaz, Othila.
7. Crawl Back In
Hammer in skull I am waiting to return your suffering.
In my mind I see you distant, broken and lost again.
When you come back I won't know you.
We won't fit right like it was before.
Time is truth, hard and cruel
and my heart has turned to stone.
I crawled back in, I am hungry,
I made sure my traps are set in space.
We had been standing on these tracks,
all the winds never called us back.
We laid so long, eternal night, in my heart it never left.
I'll stand here, you go on, when you see me I'll be gone.
Every road brings us on the past is never forgiven it is atoned.
8. Watchfire
This is all I've known. A way to be.
True to all. All that inspires.
A torch in a black sea, our stones still stand
to remind us of loss. A loss mirrored on our souls.
A watchfire brings strength. Breathe in the heat.
In the eternal path, armoured against life.
9. Resound
10. Stones From The Sky
Once is enough, trial is alone. Grace fall into us.
All through the night, Father I crawled.
Sun of my soul be revealed. Walking amongst the stones
from the sky, feeling their rhythm wash over me.
Rite of this waring god. Destructive, alive, frees you now.
Rivers of fear, don't you know? Vigil of faith stills you now.
You've been shown over and over, don't you know?
You've been shown over and over, don't you know?
The Eye Of Every Storm
1. Burn
You lie in the snow, cold but not dead
stare into the sun, long since its last heat
feel the freeze burn skin
salt your open wounds
a burning desire clears your eyes
a willful air fills your lungs
you choke your first breath of wildfire and ocean's depth
climb out of your hole, see your spirit take form
this world of cold stone gives nothing in return
to those who sleep while the restless burn
there are the few driven to flame
most are content to drown in the wake of dreams
the trail lies overground
across the years fade out of light
ever growing dim to an age in the dark
grasp from your soul a don't let it steal your eyes
2. No River To Take Me Home
The water's deep here
The less of me I show to you
The more I get to get me through
The stain of my eyes
Burnt deep within
Who will fall?
I asked not to know
I'm sealed away, you can't touch me now
Wheel and fire return to me
Let them come
Be my eyes, lead me on
Lift me out, tear me up, spark to fire
Whatever comes through me I will be
I had three signs thrown down on me
Fate frees my heart
Whatever comes through me I will be
Digging a hole so I can rest
No tears from no river to take me home
The seeds in my way, roots to the core
Of a rising sun falling through the wind to the soil
As my body leaves me
I cling to a tree in a dream
I'm screaming to you
Whatever comes through me I will be
3. The Eye Of Every Storm
A wind carries your scent to those who will find you out
A storm forces you down to seek shelter from the rain
Your trail leads to a mine of cyanide and gold
A free falling darkness leads you to your self
I am low to the ground again
I have the future bearing on down
I run with the starlight to the end
The tail of the echo subsides (oath breaker sinks low)
So I crawl through the hailstones
My eyes fixed on my return (oath breaker sinks low)
Time brings them all home to the eye of every storm
4. Left To Wander
A light went out of the world today
The spirit rose like smoke
The corpse gave in to the ether
We're left to wander at the void
We're left to wander
The race to render your vision
A fracture in the world can devour
Return to the light of the bearer
The radiant breaks down into life
We're left to wander
5. Shelter
[instrumental]
6. A Season In The Sky
I had a vision last night, my god was glowing
There was another bridge on fire
And the last wrecks were counted
The sky opened and the blood flowed
A distant cancerous season was upon me
I had a hook in my back and a light to guide me
My words were useless again
The leftovers were playing with my memories of love
I screamed at my god and he let me go
I drifted silently to the desert and began to pray
I came to a pile of ashes and sifted through it looking for teeth
A snake spoke through me again
But I could not heal their wounds
I'm searching for the old spirit of war
With my rough hands and a sharp knife
I need something to cut into so that my god can see me again
To be right again
To see my shadow alone
To get back to the hook a let the light burn in my soul
All I've seen walking through the fire
The figures in my dreams
Run back on me in a psychic scar
As I ride to the dawn
7. Bridges
Let me speak free from scorn
Stars like weeds grow unshorn
They lie austere and vain
Old, still as the clay
Crows show our way home
Night was rain, a falling sea
A rusted dawn strains to be
Stones steam and snag the mists that rose
From the low sun, a solemn glow
O lustrous glow, the sun is low
You've started a fire , you've started a fire you can't put out
You've burned your bridges, can't go back from where you came
Vision is falling, just writhe and burn out of control
No use pretending, slither back into your hole
You'll drag your house down, when truth comes calling at your door
Stare through the misty wonder, the life of men's souls
Your cup is empty and you are running out of time
Caving your head in, don't dare to dream it will implode
8. I Can See You
Did you see your people?
They all turned out for you
We were all together not so long ago
When the light reclaimed you
We were left clawing at the sky
In the oceans we can find you
For the sun we praise your name
In the dirt we pray for god to bring you back again
I can see you, I can see you
In the void the stones are turning and turning and turning
I can see you, I can see you
Neurosis & Jarboe
1.Within
I tell you if God wants to take me, he will....
I tell you if God wants to take me, he will
I tell you if God wants to take me, he will
He's coming
Can't you see he's coming
With the touch of his cold hand
He's coming for you
The kidnapper comes from a space within where thoughts
have created the past again
The past again
2.His Last Words
When you're 'high'
If you could see what I see
In your unfocused empty child-like eyes
You'd see my father's blue stare
And the horror
Of the loss of language of an educated man
He recited poems and Shakespeare,
Knew the name of every tree in Latin Memory
The unjust cruel sentencing of bewilderment
And the dying of the brain.
When you're 'high'
What do you see
His last words to me from surgery
His last words:
"burning burning"
"burning burning"
"burning burning"
I'm in the flame
"burning burning"
3.Taker
'm the king of avoidance
If you confront me I'll say I don't want to talk about it
It's the law of the jungle
I take and I take and I take
I only care about myself
I take with no obligation to the one I took from
I'll destroy you
As long as I get done what I need to take care of my needs
I don't care about yours
I'll eat you alive
It's up to you to push me out
I'll just keep taking
Its the law of the jungle
EAT OR BE EATEN
EAT OR BE EATEN
EAT OR BE EATEN
EAT YOU ALIVE
And I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I take and I takeand I takeand I take an a mal an a mal an I mal an I mal an I mal an I mal an I mal AN I MAL AN I MAL AN I MAL ANIMAL ANIMAL ANIMAL ANIMAL
4.Receive
Mother deliver me
I'm ready to be recieved
Hold me mother to your breast
Hold me mother through my death
Into your arms
Into your arms
"Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now at the Hour of our Death"
5.Erase
Did you want to tell me... I go to hell
Did you want to tell me... I say my prayers
When did I become your definition
When did I become your definition
Did you want to tell me I'm wrong
It don't mean a thing at all
Did you want to tell me
Make my peace
Did you want to tell me
I'll never be
Define me define me define me define me
Defy me defy me defy me defy me
Defile me defile me defile me defile me
Define me define me define me define me
Defy me defy me defy me defy me
Defile me defile me defile me defile me
Where are you I can't breathe
Where will I go from here
What will I do without you in my life
Someone give me a reason to live
I have a posistion open
It's like this
You make me laugh
You make my life easier
You diminish my pain
Erase the traces of scar tissue across my brain
There all all these well-wishers, well, idiots keeping Score
and I would love to disapoint them
6.Cringe
The sound of a voice
Has become too loud
Touch of a hand makes you cringe
The breath on your skin
Hit you again
Lick of a tongue
Pulls you in
7.In Harm's Way
Kara it's only...
I put myself here
To see your face
I'd do it again
I put myself here
In harm's way
In harm's way.
I did it for you
Light beat wool wheat rock sand wind hand
Grace sin rain wind dirt mud milk blood
I did it for you
Kara it's only...
A small price to pay
I'd give my life
If your life is saved.
I did it for you
8.Seizure
I try to remember
Everything that's lost
Try to remember
Everything that's lost
Oh here I am
You can make me drown
Come take me now
I'm ready yes I'm ready
I'm ready yes I'm ready
You can take me down
I try to remember everything that's lost
Try to remember everything that's lost
Here I am
Come take me now
I'm naked and I'm empty
But I can't absorb this void
Even as I sleep
I feel you at my heart
