White 04:49
White, the waste Frozen horizon Crushing, the weight Of endless winter Time stilled fate Death's beauty ever more Snow blinded gaze Upon the feats of war Take hold of the silence and space An illusion Of hearts beating Crystal blood flows Through the veins of a dying planet Bled to dust A blistered angel A cold embrace envelops me Whispers of a human madness In sounds of sighing Winds it weeps The final page Of our existence Words written that have no meaning A bitter laugh A hopeless cry We burn the book of history Sounds of hate Echoes of ringing silence Sunlight's decay A frigid destiny Lost in a maze The walls of ice surround me Twisting the way Numbed by the horrors I've seen Let go of the delusions of grace Simple answers In floating ashes Tears of endless ice Encasing eternal sadness Bled to dust A blistered angel A cold embrace envelops me Whispers of a human madness In sounds of sighing Winds it weeps The final page Of our existence Words written that have no meaning A bitter laugh A hopeless cry We burn the book of history Life erased Dawn of the age of ice Blessed the deceased Not forced to witness Our world encased Locked in a glacial spire Immortal we've made Our final failure Bled to dust A blistered angel A cold embrace envelops me Whispers of a human madness In sounds of sighing Winds it weeps The final page Of our existence Words written that have no meaning A bitter laugh A hopeless cry We burn the book of history

When mother natures defied Beneath the green veil hides A tragedy Left to wither and die Consumed and rotting, Failing, broken, a cancer no one sees A desolate lullaby That we've all harmonized We are the crows And on our homes we feed Mighty oaks once touched the sky Ancient sentinels old and wise How can it be? That we could decide We are autonomous from nature No concern for what will be A world we despised The only gift we leave behind An erosion of life By a living disease Gods we are not But devils we've become Destroying all With every breath we breathe A plague we are And a plague we'll forever be This poison beneath the green veil seethes Witness through callous eyes As we commit matricide Yet cannot see The hollow left behind An empty shell has become An inescapable destiny Our roots have spread wide Injecting death deep inside Choking out all we see We are the weeds Gods we are not But devils we've become Destroying all With every breath we breathe A plague we are And a plague we'll forever be This poison beneath the green veil seethes

A mind escapes Free from all doubt and sorrow Daring to take A step to the beyond Silence abates Screams echo from the stars Crumbled they break Under the will of a god Bleeding dawn Crimson light covering Fear is gone Its touch a memory Suffer the fate Of a cosmic collapsing Bend time and space Command eternity I awake The stars tremble I create My minds reality I forsake That which I destroy I embrace And exist in infinity

The force of tides Expanding endlessly No aeon could confine As we drown eternally Clawing out for a final breath The surface fades away To screams of silent death See the rise of mankind's fall Depth and darkness so profound The breadth of enormity The oceans unbound The edge it falls away You're reaching out Into eternity Searching on forever Chasing infinity You swim or you drown One breath once more Always and never Close your eyes and give in to A storm cloud of despair And as you slip below One final gasp of air Rising waves and the crushing deep An escape cannot be found Engulf the world we knew The oceans unbound The edge it falls away You're reaching out Into eternity Searching on forever Chasing infinity You swim or you drown One breath once more Always and never Crashing down A wrath descending Your fate lies below The fury of the gods unending None can save you All hope is gone Your life is fading Be calm and let it go Forever lost forever failing Here you lie alone Oceans unbound

Skies turn to gray Death living on A solemn sigh remains Autumn's endless song Memories will fade away The warm caress Of summer lost Brittle leaves are paint Each a stroke On a canvas of decay Skies turn to gray Death living on A solemn sigh remains Autumn's endless song A pale mist shrouding me While chilling winds hum along Lost in sorrow's sleep As barren trees Dance to nature's masterpiece Skies turn to gray Death living on A solemn sigh remains Autumn's endless song Fate of the spirit To be lost beneath the failing sun A way to a new beginning And exist with mother nature as one Skies turn to gray Death living on A solemn sigh remains Autumn's endless song

Duskline 05:34
Raise the shadows The clutch of night Stretches ever on Light fades embrace of darkness Scattering the sun Await the black and be blind forever Last line, a dying day A memory beginning Engraved runes upon my mortal soul Scarring the earth But what is it worth? To wake once more and stand before A new dawns birth I'm buried inside Nowhere left hide Forced to see a tragedy I'm watching the world die I stare out to the sky And I can't help but wonder if I ever Will know what lies beyond the end But still my mind claws for the Answers we all seek to questions Only fear can keep alive Endless is the path Take a breath It fades away You're all alone amongst the stars Bleeding light into the sky Silence breaks with the dawn Yet still we die beyond the duskline I pale before the beauty Even as it's failing A burst of formless color Unbounded and deep As I reach to touch, To hold death in my hands It dances away elusive, calm So perfect without me... Stories cloaked in sorry Final pages turned Mindful as the end consumes us all Find a way to grasp a falling star If only for its light To lead to the unknown What is the way? As our fathers would say To see beyond and carry on From this dying day We beg the divine To show us a sign But what we see Is what must be Eyes shut for the last time I stare out to the sky And I can't help but wonder if I ever Will know what lies beyond the end But still my mind claws for the Answers we all seek to questions Only fear can keep alive Endless is the path Take a breath It fades away You're all alone amongst the stars Bleeding light into the sky Silence breaks with the dawn Yet still we die beyond the duskline

And through the rain She climbed to the hill Her soul possessed And drawn to the grey And from the dark There came my first breath A storm made flesh Her love summoned forth From passion and sorrow A life both god and man Silence hangs No words could say What she can feel No one could know Their hearts belonged together Passion overtakes And two are one While thunders rage But as the clouds turn black The endless rain Pours down upon The two are lost Fallen into each other And love echoes with pain As the newborn god learns his strength But much to late Alone for all eternity Can you hear the roaring of the thunder? Its deadly shout calling for you Can you see the depths of your insanity? Doused the flame that gave you life A failing you cannot undo Cursed to roam. Both deity and vagrant Afraid to touch. It crumbles away No reprieve. No absolution An endless path. A haunted stride The bitter price for love betrayed The storm it fades Though the horror remains Her body lies still in his arms A monster I am made Gale force in my veins Destruction all that's left in my wake Desires washed away Rage I can't contain Tempestus, I shall wander all my days Silence hangs No words could say What he did feel No one should see Her life undone, and as he Faces away He feels his love be replaced With hate Banished into agony Can you hear the roaring of the thunder? Its deadly shout calling for you Can you see the depths of your insanity? Doused the flame that gave you life A failing you cannot undo Cursed to roam. Both deity and vagrant Afraid to touch. It crumbles away No reprieve. No absolution An endless path. A haunted stride The bitter price for love betrayed Forever on escaping a memory To bear the curse wherever you go Cast aside. Displaced for eternity A burning hate. Undying strife The loss immense. The pain untold But through it all, carry her with you In every breath her spirit lives on Her love sings through the branches and the leaves A voice of solace to a god But the echo haunts a man alone

Shattering the wind And sundering the stars Ripping open time and space There's chaos in my heart The seas begin to boil The earth it cracks and groans The flames consuming all existence Nothing left. All alone Lost again Within a thought I watch As planets collide and crumble Ruin filling the sky Painting my mind Desire to tear down the sun's light Hollow Stone turns to dust And then slips away A space bereft Where only emptiness remains Mountains Sunk down below Beneath chasms churning A void inside Where elements come to die I'm drifting alone The waves cascading Black and depthless They ebb as if to pull away They are afraid Afraid to touch Afraid to break They know the truth They must run They must Or I shall be their end One and all Lost again Within a thought I watch As planets collide and crumble Ruin filling the sky Painting my mind Desire to tear down the sun's light Worlds dissolving Oblivion A silence absorbing the absence Vision straining To comprehend Witness the unending madness Cosmic destruction Reality ends Eternity among the ashes Construct of colossal sadness Prisoner of prismatic awe Thunder Roars through the dark The skies are screaming Split apart The air is cracked and blistering Oceans Burst from their shores The fissures splitting Swallowing The world has been unmade Lost again Within a thought I watch As planets collide and crumble Ruin filling the sky Painting my mind Desire to tear down the sun's light
