Elevation -
Would you live to see
What becomes of you and me
Would you take a vow
Upon this ship’s cleaving bow
And when I call across the dark
You hear me
Transmission pierces the night
Receiving
And every vision speaks of time
Blind eyes see
And when I fall I know you rise
World ending
Can you bear to be
The fate of everything that’s me
Can you have no doubt
Armies of men will rout
Will you deliver them
And salvage cruelty instead
Will you break apart
If only for my heart
Run aground on scarred rock shores
Becalmed as long as shadows fall
Now the light becomes a sound
We are gathered in the storm
And when I’m here in the night
You call me
Transmission swallowed by the day
Silencing
And every vision now is blind
Speak lightly
And as I end I watch you rise
World falling
Did you think of me
When fortune stole silently
Did you send us all
Below the sky, above the wall

Isolation -
Absence makes the
Like crystals shine
Divide and conquer love
So embrace me
The one who bows to none
He will carry on and on
What will he come upon?
Lie still upon the
Like ice upon the
Lie still upon the shore
And teach me
And those who bow to none
They will carry on and on
What will they come upon?
Lost souls wander in nothing
Where warmth will not be found
Proud and loud, the tribes are drumming
With this cold life they will surround
The fire emerges from the deep
The fire sweeps fever over me
The fire enshrouds all that will be
Burned to the core
Flames lift the veil
Forgive our defenses
And lead me
What will we come upon?

Ruination -
The old man cries
His grail a failing heart
And once again, alone
I depart
Reveal now the call
In the chaos of this hall
Stones erode and fall
Amid a life of ruination
The young man dies
His prayers torn apart
And now another blow
To his heart
Reveal now the call
In the chaos of this hall
Stones erode and fall
Mourning a life of ruination
Across the river’s breadth he walks
The hunter cloaked in ancient dreams
Direction certain, and assured
Cannot be stopped by earthly means
He tells the tale we have forgot
A story wise as winter’s moon
His arrow flies, entropy rots
The song of ruin will play soon

Salvation -
We fly the black stream
Spiral ever inward
Nevermore to dream
Cutting to windward
Breathing ashes
Choking on nightfall
Lightning clashes
No thunder at all
Softly sowing the seeds of autumn
Softly crowing dark angels condemn
Caught in a whirlpool tonight
Emptiness searching, no light
Smothered by the net
Bloody is the debt
All of our cries swept away
Together alone
Hearts born to bleed
Together we moan
And nourish the seed
Brittle hearts break
Cannot stand the weight
Sinking in the lake
The water is our fate
Softly knowing our souls to mend
Softly rowing dark rivers end
Upon the shore the empty men dwell
And our fathers wave farewell
