lyrics

when waters run through thine soul
a strike
the chilling toll
these cosmic bells
you will know
no more of flames
-flames and shadows-

keep up this rant, this banter
and burdens will be wrought by work's end
-------------------------------------------------------------

factions
refraction of deeds
yet done

-------------------------------------------------------------

deny all
-yes-
you are weary and faithless…
-rest-
here-forth you shall not receive

-------------------------------------------------------------

with waves or resonance impeded by void
voice had no presence
this burden of silence
conveyed
deployed

-------------------------------------------------------------

what appears before me
in mirrored lens' light
captured in crystalline restraint
arrested
in time
funneled through and focused
on despair and loss of rite

-------------------------------------------------------------

spite does have no malice
in the singularity of the night

-------------------------------------------------------------

one last confession on betrayal's revenge
I've not the disposition
of overwhelming desire
turn plague on one's existence
instead portend
and thus inspire
a call to arms
raise high the seal
and journey onward
eternally
unburdened with silence

-------------------------------------------------------------
