A New Dawn
06:42
|
|||
The Fires that burnt,
are but embers now,
Too low to grant the vision,
and clarity of thought (once known).
Synaptic powers
crushed to brittle branches,
feeble are the thoughts,
that once sped through these halls,
thoughts that flew so bright.
Remember me!
Remember all I was...
These thoughts lit
the memory of times,
both glorious and righteous,
but dark and corrupt.
A piteous cry,
spews from the depths,
bereft of force and twisted,
twisted by decay…
Remember me!
Remember all I was…
Wanting, everything to pass
unhindered from my sight.
Feeling, the lethargy of death
as he settles down beside me.
Knowing, this moment is but,
the beginning of A New Dawn.
Knowing, all is not yet lost,
as you breath in the fresh and cold air.
Feeling, a sense of peace as you cry out,
to the heavens for this chance to live again.
Wanting, nothing more than to feel,
alive...

In Defiance
06:41
|
|||
A Shadow of the Ideal,
surrounded by the brands,
of Fear, and Loss. Of Failure!
But I will harden my will.
One by one they flow,
in a moment's understanding,
to see, the cost of a lifetime.
At last alone, hear the roar in defiance,
as I reach into the Shadow...
to finally gain a sense of Purpose!
With Purpose we stride,
from beneath the dark.
To face, the blinding light.
To hear, the battle’s roar.
To know… our will made,
Triumphant!
I see the path, the turns I made, and I weep for thee!
I can take no more…
Though you fight this battle all alone
We stand here by your side.
One thousand wide and a hundred deep,
let their blows rain down!
Each step weaves a strength,
unseen into your tread.
Contest the foe; fear fuels our fire!
Beloved one, carry this proudly
For with each step you
Cry Defiance!
Pray! That never will they seek
This ire, righteous and unleashed
This vengeance, with blackened wings unfold!
Too late! I see the path, the turns I made, and I weep for thee!

Call of the Void
06:46
|
|||
Here in the darkness, I heed your call
It’s all around me… I see the Void!
Thin are the paths, of Order
that flow through the raging storm of Chaos!
And all I ever I saw, all I ever knew
were visions of a hopeless past.
But now, I have seen it all to come,
For the Void knows my name
and it.. hungers.. once more.
I hear your call!
A darkness all consuming
A weight, ever crushing
A light, so blinding
A hand, reaching out
And all I ever I saw, all I ever knew
were visions of a hopeless past.
But now, I have seen it all to come,
For the Void knows my name
and it.. hungers.. once more.
I hear your call!

Departed
05:13
|
|||
A scorn to raze the earth now,
We breathe deep at the sight.
The teeth of all this time,
They bite deep at the heart.
Cold rains that fall upon him now
The streams of lives behind
An ending race of winds, against a tide
That leaves the lines behind
Departed, but not defeated,
feel oblivion, as it rains…
as it rains… as it rains… Yeah!
For the rays to fall I raise the sun,
Defeat decline!
Because the reasons for an age that’s yet to come,
Defeat Decline!
The night wind’s call to greet the other side.
A thrill to see the sign.
The last recall of fears of many lives,
Bright pennies on those eyes!
For the rays to fall I raise the sun,
Defeat decline!
Because the reasons for an age that’s yet to come,
Defeat Decline!
