An Empty Throne
06:10
|
|

I am alive
At the edge of the void
To start again
Cold and alone
But for what purpose do I live on?
Death is no ruler
An empty throne
The seventh cycle
The reasons mystify
Another aimless journey
To where the earth meets sky
Not even death can rule this wretched place
Feel the spectral pull of unknown fate
Wander the land 'neath an empty throne

Away

This is the place
This is where she waits for me
Time and again
A solitary counterpart in this wasteland
Hounded by wolves
The parasites desperate for life
Climb to the crest
A diaphanous form
A single fleeting glimpse
Then she's gone
In the light of day
Away
This cannot be
This is where she waits for me
Time and again
Together until the end
Through countless cycles
Of death and rebirth
She is all that I have
In the light of day
Away
This time it's different
Left in the cold
In the light of day
Away

The Longing
07:22
|
|
||
Let it end
Abandoned
Left without purpose
Days, weeks, years
A desolate age without measure
Pale, so pale
A hunger so grave
Destined for ruin
Afraid, so afraid
What is to become of this lost soul?
All that was
Two trapped beings
A trial eternal
Not a sound
A mind left alone is a mind in peril
Strength in love
The will to pursue
The need to find you
Weak, so weak
As long as there is breath in these lungs
The search goes on
The hunger burns
The body frail
The longing grows
Crawl to the place
Where the earth meets the sky
Where everything ends
Until we meet again
Under such circumstances
I fear it's the last time
The heart it yearns
The body pales
The longing ends
Collapse into earth

Unearthly Burial
09:00
|
|
||
Behold! The stars are colliding
A fiery blaze in the Cosmic Eye
Fear! The cosmos dividing
Winds of the end freezing blood and time
Slowly beginning to rise
Lifeless, towards the sky
Never before has there been such a blinding light
Watching in dismay
Taken by the night
Faster she continues to rise
Swallowed by the rupturing sky
Unearthly Burial
All is dark
Black unknown
She is lost
I am alone

Fever Dream
12:18
|
|
||
Burning and spinning
Writhing and weakening
The blood runs cold
Feel the strength draining
Conciousness waning
Dimension unknown
Shallow and laboured
Every breath savoured
Clinging to life
Terminal confusion
Abrupt dissolution
Forsaken by the light
All things must end
The cycle is broken
Last minute clarity
The throne is reclaimed
Death is renewed
Caught in the grip of a fever dream
Muffled whispers
Fragments of a passing life
Memories fading
Every word failing
Scarcely alive
Sudden lucidity
Sorrowful imagery
This is where we part
No repetition
No reconnection
No going back to the start
You held me dear
But there was nothing
Nothing more you could do
You left me here
In the clutch of a dream
A recurring scene
To live out the rest of my days
All things must end
The cycle is broken
Last minute clarity
The throne is reclaimed
Death is renewed
Caught in the grip of a fever dream
Deep inside I think I knew it all along
I must go and leave you to carry on
No escaping the end and its sad, mortal song
Deep inside I think I knew it all along
For what seems like aeons
I've been desperate for this dream to end
But now that I'm here and you're not
I'd give it all just to dream it again
