Dearest mother
The sun has forgotten us
War, famine and pest
Consumed the best of my kin
Dearest father
Your knowledge proved of no use
The world you taught me of
Resembles no world that I face
"Be patient"
-But we've waited enough
"Night's darkest hour calls for the dawn"
What kind of night lasts for a lifetime?
This darkness has always been there
Or light was forever concealed from my eyes
If all must suffer the cowardice of man
Then I shall take a stand
Let your sins mark my soul
For perdition to leave you all behind
The blade of justice
Dismembers the body
And I hope the light that engulfs me
Shines too on the world
But I can only hope...

Earthen Sky

An illness upon the hollow flesh
A fragile balance so simply disrupt
So bow down
A farewell's caress
Though I'll forever be here
Despite your illusions of loss
And stare at the sky
While my spirit remains below
In fire and water
Fuel to all life to grow
Earthen Sky
Let me fall to your wide open arms
And the stories held in this vessel
Be a testament of what is to come
All action written in stone
As the circle forever will turn
Earthen Sky
Collapse on our shoulders
Earthen Sky
Embrace your fallen stars
All sorrows will pass
And so will joy
As powers above
Create and destroy
And as our bodies
Wither and decay
Oh brother you'll find
This world runs on pain

Rituals of Death

An army of dead
Fixated upon the living
Who dare disturb their peace
The bells echo...
Eyes pulsating with fear
As they stare at the earthly mirror
Tears guide the ritual of death
The litany of pain
A sorrow stronger than any
The gaze of our future self
Lethe forgets none
Arms embrace
Collapsing under their own weight
A feast for vultures and worms
Oh, our beloved flesh
The bells echo...
Watch them mourn
Sullenly holding their face
Desparate to forget
As they pray to a lesser God
Pray to a lesser God
