“The secrets told by the wind
A wild spirit rescinds a dogma”
Beckoning to me
Whispering to me
I can hear its call
Singing to my soul
Barely hanging on
Clinging to a dying memory
A long forgotten home
Sitting here alone
Exiled to
Out of view
A dogma
Longing to go home
The secrets told by the winds
Our wild spirit rescinds their will
Held captive in plain sight
Our hidden powers winding away
Dying for just one more day
In the garden of N’agh
Fluttering
Above
See the remnants of the old
In love
Behold
Tomorrow past is untold
The secrets told by the winds
Our wild spirit rescinds their will
Held captive in plain sight
Our hidden powers winding away
Dying for just one more day
In the garden of N’agh
Will we learn to live without Yesterday
Will our hopes and dreams waste away
Will we have nothing left to give today
Will our fields and streams face decay
While we’re dying just to slave away
Is there any way to save today
Why must we
Face decay
And Why
Must we continue to relive this impunity
Why must we
Face decay
And why
Must we continue to relive this immunity
Our hidden powers winding away
Dying for just one more day
In the garden of nagh

Pale Expanse

Stand alive, budding one
Reaching towards the flooding sun
Stay afloat in the sea of awe
Rise eternally, to your cosmic call
Sailing high on the night seas
Riding on the winds of infinities
Will we invoke the ways of divinity?
Or choose the dance of fire to set us free?
Searcher in a pale expanse, go
In this forgotten seam alone
As the world is spinning round, slow
Stand like a candle in a wild wind
Searcher in a pale expanse, go
In your trackless elegy
As you watch horizons null grow
And all signs of home recede
Oh
Searcher in a pale expanse, go
Shades of grey in monotone,
Will it come that light tomorrow
With its colors green and blue
Mist will clear
Here comes the cold sun
With its frozen rays
Its frozen fangs
Finally here
To welcome you home
From the pale expanse

To The Barricades!
05:35

The bell is rung and sun is gone
The curtain falls on the theater show
And the wind is cold like a morrigan's call
Tonight we set this world alight
Our ship is sinking in a growing night
It's far too late for a second chance
[Chorus]
To the barricades
Fly the banner
To the barricades
Fly the banner
In a burning sky
There's a growing fear on the streets tonight
Rumors of the enemy's gathering might
The rest of the world is watching
If we don't stand strong at the barricade walls
Then the last revolutionary bastion falls
And I shudder to think of a future dark as night
[Chorus]
To the barricades
Fly the banner
To the barricades
Fly the banner
In a burning sky.
They will rememeber
When at the wall they see
Still lined with bullet holes
The sillhouettes of men
They will remember
When at the barricades
Above the graves of old
Still flies the banner bravely
There are those who still fly it high
Still in memory of the rebel days
They will rememeber
When on the wall the see
Still lined with bullet holes
The sillhouettes of men
To the barricades
Fly the banner
To the barricades
Fly the banner
To the barricades
In a burning sky

Black Star Collapsing

Bright flower turning from the sun
Sweet child of summer in the winter snow
Ghost on your shoulder weighs a ton
Black star
Deep as char
Black star
Come this far
[backing vocals]
Have you lost the ground beneath you
Still in this fever dream
The beast is begging for a tasty piece of me
My only weakness is I'm a black star collapsing
The force of gravity has me relapsing
Fall with me deeper
Let's tempt the reaper
My everlasting
Blackstar collapsing
Bright flower turning from the sun
Sweet child of summer in the winter snow
Ghost on your shoulder weighs a ton
Black star
Black star
Black Star
Deep as char
Black Star
Come this far

Unveiled condemnation
Untested transgression
Sudden supremacy
Laid bare before my eyes
Atrophied deep inside
Festering undenied
Reliving emptiness and guilt from down below
You cannot shut me out
I live among the shadows
Silently waiting till you close your eyes
I will cast a doubt
Consuming your reality
Unable to rid the path of dark debris
Plains of obscurity
Revealing all to me
Unkind and out of sight
Flinching and blind into the light
Something is wrong and I just cant seem to
Shake away this demon
You cannot shut me out
I’ve lived among the shadows
Quietly praying on your doubt and shame
I will cast a doubt
Degrading your reality
Unable to understand that I’m to blame
How could I
Convince myself that I am worthy of
Redemption
Salvation
This proclamation
A lie
____________________________
Leave me be
This silent war inside is killing me
Leave me here
The signs of pointlessness are ever clear
Was he right
I think about it every day and night
Is this me?
Or just an impulse of insanity
Please let the light wash over me
Patiently
I’ve waited all my life to finally see
Clearly
Caricature of separate entities
Familiar unfamiliarity
In the end, I was wrong
Hiding every truth and doubt inside all along
Running from the past so long I lost my way
No one can escape themselves
I’ve tried
God knows I’ve tried
Through your eyes
I saw a life held captive, paralyzed
Hiding from the light!
Looking back
It was in here all along
Blinding light, spanning beginning to end
