1.
Limbs
|
|
The texture of the soul is a liquid that casts a vermilion flood From a wound carved as an oath it fills the river bank a sanguine fog These arms were meant to be lost Hacked, severed and forgotten The texture of time is a whisper that echoes across the flood It's hymn resonates from tree to tree, through every sullen bough it sings These boughs were said to be lost Torn, unearthed and broken Earth to flesh, flesh to wood Cast these limbs into the water Flesh to wood, wood to stone Cast this stone into the water |

Falling Snow
|
|
The water pours its embracing arms 'round the stone Decay drips from the unquiet void Where the ice forms, where life ends The stone is by the crimson flood, swallowed The red tide beyond the ebon wound, contorted My sacrifice bids farewell in this river of memory A wave to end all time Red birds escape from my wounds and return as falling snow To sweep the landscape; a wind haunted, wings without bodies The snow, the bitter snowfall You long to die in her pale arms, crystalline To become an ode to silence In the soul of a mountain of birds, fallen The cascading pallor of ghostless feather The snow has fallen and raised this white mountain on which you will die and fade away in silence |

Fire Above, Ice Below
|
|
The woeful silence; wind's reflection Of your body's pale, icy fortress ... of blood and ages Sky fire above, ice below the hearth Sky fire above, ice below the hearth Fall away from me To that citadel at the end of time Where death sleeps And dreams of your buried pain There has never been a silence like this before There will never be an ode like this again |

Not Unlike the Waves
|
|
Aurora swims in the ether Emerald fire scars the night sky Solstafir Amber streams from Sol Are not unlike the waves Of the sea nor the endless horizon of ice Solstafir Aurora swims in the ether Emerald fire paints the twilight Heidrun bleeds the golden nectar For the rising sun and the moon The midnight wolves who watch over the dawn A golden dawn Solstafir |

Our Fortress Is Burning... II - Bloodbirds
|
|
The god of man is a failure Our fortress is burning against the grain of the shattered sky Charred birds escape from the ruins and return as cascading blood Dying bloodbirds pooling, feeding the flood The god of man is a failure And all of our shadows All of our shadows All of our shadows Are ashes against the grain |
