lyrics

Arose the solemn sorrows
Adorned in crowns of mist
Thrown from shadowed towers
Chosen by wicked caress
The fallen rune unanswered
The blade’s call persists
Though such terrible lies
None bear to resist

North lies the argent vengeance
Winds pierces the skin
Doom dreamt hollow
From the years that follow
The one to erase
This flowing blue dismay

Disbelief of the calling realms disguised
The Mourne pulling from the sky
Lost souls crying in the night
Their sympathies left here to lay

Alone in the veil of phase
The peak’s excision cracks the space
Mirrored through the prison we care to stay
Decision of fading away

Upon dim visions you failed to see
The torn transition, pale of beasts
Contorted bone holds the seal
The flesh disowned
Weighted to kneel

Grief stricken gates of fetid steel
Daggers of lonesome death silence the fear

The sick division
As one we weep
Their lives for ransom
A gaze of somatic desist
For when I sleep they will know my time
Never to cease to rest
Above we grasp for life
Your judgement loosens the grip

Far enough have I now wandered
Possessed by distant mistake
Asleep of hollow
Deceives the will to stay
Again I roam this lonely upheaval
Loathing winter’s decay


Disfigured glisten of flayed carcass blight
Erodes the vision buried from my mind
Along the valley I warp onto night
My contempt folds your embrace

Alone in the veil of phase
The peak’s excision cracks the space
Mirrored through the prison we care to stay
One’s decision of fading away
Distractions from the pain
No one allowed near
Suffer alone I will
Only to die this way

Hear their horrid cries
Stare into the stars for they have forgotten me

From exile I stood at the gates in frozen rain
No use of your cries of pain, unhallowed shame
Resisting the part of me, born discreet
One anguish holds all of us
Bearer of the curse

Alone in the veil of phase
The peak’s excision cracks the space
Mirrored through the prison we care to stay
One’s decision of fading away
Distractions from the pain
No one allowed near
Suffer alone I will
Only to die this way

Hear their horrid cries
Here lies the soils of my desperations
