Far Too Soon

A flicker in the endless dark
Beauty found in the black
Floating towards the trees alight
Staring out of the night
The warmth of the aching heart
Supporting words enounced
The healing of the lip's caress
Resisting division
Tentaculum writhe
Around the broken heart
Grasping for the fleeing
Wisps of happiness drifting
Embracing the growing feelings
Bound to the sated soul
Living for the purpose, not the spite
On the growing horizon
Smiles and laughter, more and more
Fill the brighter times
Morose days become the past
A fleeting memory
Tentaculum writhe
Around the broken heart
Grasping for the fleeing
Wisps of happiness drifting
A flicker in the endless dark
Beauty found in the black
Floating towards the trees alight
Staring out of the night
The thread of fate cut from the root
Released from the bonds
Leaving behind a void in the world
Far too soon
Tentaculum writhe
Around the broken heart
Grasping for the fleeing
Wisps of happiness drifting

The Tale Of A Life
04:30
|
|||
|
Mistakes of the past haunting
The the current times
Looming to result in
Needless consequence
Understanding the irrelevance
Leaving bygone days
Pushing ever forward towards the end
The key to happiness
The days of broken trust
Of debilitating sentiment
Will end for us all
Embrace The Now
Solitude and fellowship
Days of light and dark
Mesmerizing highs and lows
The tale of a life
Bright energies dispensed
The horrors consumed
The glimmers of light
Lost in the fading eyes
The days of broken trust
Of debilitating sentiment
Will end for us all
Embrace The Now
The heat of the embrace
The elating caress
The smile on the loved one's face
The pride in the heart
Watching the days
As they whirl around you
Take notice
Before they drift away
The days of broken trust
Of debilitating sentiment
Will end for us all
Embrace The Now

Stagnant days of duress settle in
Life seen through a haze
Hated flares of numbing thought
Tear joy from the world
Occasional glimmers of the prize
Hidden in plain sight
Hope for a future free of dejection
Keeps the flame alive
Life moves ahead without our consent
Afflicted by the fading days
Slowing of the beat of the heart
Until only memory remains
Focused recollection shows the depths
The choices of the past
Cherished memories, unbridled joy
The warmth of the love
Embracing the loss and the pain
Does nothing to assuage
The emtpiness of the withered soul
Inside a hollow existence
Grey-filled days and brooding nights
Go ever on and on
The feeling grows within and quells
The vital form
The coming of the healing touch
The soothing of the spirit
Bringing lighter mind and being
A well of joy and ecstasy
Life moves ahead without our consent
Afflicted by the fading days
Slowing of the beat of the heart
Until only memory remains

No Thoughts Of Tomorrow
04:09
|
|||
|
The pull of the heart
The song of the flesh
The sating of desire
The cry of the soul
Twisting, undulating
Confessions heard and spake
Intwining spirits glow
No thoughts of tomorrow
Resplendent in the mind
the need grows strong
To feel the depths
of the perfect touch
Twisting, undulating
Confessions heard and spake
Intwining spirits glow
No thoughts of tomorrow
The breathless satiation
in the calming warmth
Enlightened disposition
The briefest time lost in the moment
Twisting, undulating
Confessions heard and spake
Intwining spirits glow
No thoughts of tomorrow

Ephialtes
04:18
|
|||
|
A constant plague of ephialtes
An existance of the sum
Of the horrors unseen by man
In the darkness I'm exposed
Cycle of the blackened soul
The essence of the sacred path
Dedicated misantropy
Hammering the hated light
Idyllic coming of the death
Of the bonds of withered hope
Seeking to accost the minds
Of the vacuous that dream
Eager fingers touch the stone
Lips caress the blade
Life spills on the blackened base
Fire lights the eyes
Cycle of the blackened soul
The essence of the sacred path
Dedicated misantropy
Hammering the hated light
Idyllic coming of the death
Of the bonds of withered hope
Seeking to accost the minds
Of the vacuous that dream
Surging bile fills the throat
Reaching for release
Will and vile determination
Shall prevail
Cycle of the blackened soul
The essence of the sacred path
Dedicated misantropy
Hammering the hated light
Idyllic coming of the death
Of the bonds of withered hope
Seeking to accost all the minds
Of the vacuous that dream

Seizing consciousness for an unknown, finite, time
Torn from the warmth of the womb
Unable to plumb the impossible distance to the end
Perhaps to be found at the turn of the page
The days without fulfillment
A mirage of of the truth
Stumble forth with greater strides
Each day that passes by
Initial hope and alacrity
Turned to a darkened mind
No sight of reason or understanding
No chance to avoid your fate
Existence a termagant mistress with no pity or remorse
Selfish actions perpetually snare the heart
Dragging us all by the hair, screaming into the void
To the eternal darkness that awaits us all
The days without fulfillment
A mirage of of the truth
Stumble forth with greater strides
Each day that passes by
Initial hope and alacrity
Turned to a darkened mind
No sight of reason or understanding
No chance to avoid your fate
The beacons on the secluded islands of the heart
That grip into your waning soul
Calm the tempest to allow the peace
To accept the embrace of the universe
The days without fulfillment
A mirage of of the truth
Stumble forth with greater strides
Each day that passes by
Initial hope and alacrity
Turned to a darkened mind
No sight of reason or understanding
No chance to avoid your fate

The Cycle Of The Stars
04:26
|
|||
|
Summer nights that never end
Fade into the past
The ticking of the hands of time
Unthinking moments experienced
The clarity of hindsight
The final sleep awaits us all
Finale of the show
Embrace the chance, appreciate
These sacred hours
The knowing of the warmth
The brightened face
Trickles of sand in eternity
Drift away
Tribulations rise and fall
Joy ebbs and flows
The cycle of the stars
Happiness and despair
The stops and the starts
Fill the time we have
The final sleep awaits us all
Finale of the show
Embrace the chance, appreciate
These sacred hours
The knowing of the warmth
The brightened face
Trickles of sand in eternity
Drift away
Those of kindred spirits
And those of spite and hate
Convolute the web
Hold those close to you
Candles in the dark
Revere them while you can
The final sleep awaits us all
Finale of the show
Embrace the chance, appreciate
These sacred hours
The knowing of the warmth
The brightened face
Trickles of sand in eternity
Drift away

Eyes of milky grey flutter wide
Wiping away the caking dust
Unnoticed, creeping in the night
Blindly sating endless thirst
Mottled skin of sickly steel
Sight beyond the darkest pitch
Senses blazing from their heat
Blood siphoned from their veins
Predatory horrors from the depths
We feast upon the souls of light
Fighting the thought, unsettled mind
A battle lost long ago
Endless night of lustful feast
Empathy in abesntia
Gorging on delicious fear
Feeds eternal malice
Words no longer delineate
Consuming need to disburden souls
To smell the panic in the blood
Of the victims of our need
Unfeeling hands groping forth
Claws sink into the waiting flesh
Teeth flash and cruelly rive
The life from the vessel of our immortality

Of Insignificance...
04:44
|
|||
|
Blinded to the sense
of fate extinguished
of the impending cost
Bound into the cast of stone and oak
Tiring of the finite play
Scraping for the purpose
with bleeding nails
Steeped in deluded comfort
Hear the call of the moirae at your ear
Atropos cuts the thread
Call the words into the night
Questions unanswered
Find the calm amongst the chaos
To soothe the soul
Crimes and punishments,
Times and trials
Help and hinderance,
swift and fleeting
Joy and sorrow acrue and fade
Stagnation and delirium
The light can blind or show the way
Feet caught in the gore filled trap
Timeless feeling of desperation
Enfold the joy within your heart
Call the words into the night
Questions unanswered
Find the calm amongst the chaos
To soothe the soul
Shrugging off the feeling
Of insignificance
Clothing the ones you care for
In the light of your spirit
