Harsh the cold of winter Seeping through the veins Blowing dust into an open (mind) And I And I Am waiting Bleeding like animals Hanging from the reins Taste of smoke, the way is blind And I And I Am waiting I see it in the clouds of dust And written on the cage I see it in the gravel on the ground I see it in the dripping rust And in the burning rage I see it in the space between the sounds Oh, I see it now And I Awaken Scrawled across the world In letters bright and wide Carving deep into the life And we And we Awaken Open like a flower Bursting life inside Storming through the hurt and strife And we And we Awaken Bright the dawn of the waking life Bright the life of the waking mind Bright the mind of the waking love Bright the love under will

Death Comes 05:40
lyrics

Death comes like a mother in the morning Warmth, to wash away the lies Oh, it comes like sunlight in the morning Falling glory into waiting eyes Death comes like a lover in the evening How they beckon, how they shine Oh, it comes like moonlight in the evening Cold and fleeting hands in mine Oh, the grinding stones, the burden, falling from my open hands All the longing, all the searching Oh, I fall beneath the sands Death comes like a friend in night time When all the world has left it's mark Oh, it comes like starlight in the night time Calming voices in the dark Oh, the grinding stones, the burden, Falling from my open hands All the longing, all the searching Oh, I fall beneath the sands Oh, a life is ever yearning I am falling in your hands Oh, the heart is ever burning Oh, we fall beneath the sands Fall beneath the sands

I lift my hands I lift my hands above my head I lift my hands above my head I look upon the face burning Eyes burning blood burning I look upon the face I look upon the face I look upon the face I grip the black horns and I look upon the face Eyes blacker than space and I lift my hands burning Heart burning blood splitting scream and I look upon the face I look upon the face I look upon the face *Oh, the warm skin, my heart My dead tongue awakens I let my hands rise As I leave my dead world My hand, clenched in the light The sharp claws, the warm life Slowly, this heart of mine Goes up in flames* I bite the tongue that speaks in me I bite the tongue that speaks in me I bite the tongue that speaks in me and spit it out dead skin dead flesh Empty threats empty hands empty promises and I am possessed I boil in the black blood of the blessed and I am the god of horns I bring the fire I bring the fire burning desire I am the breaker of the words I am the god of liars I am the black churning waters of the dreaming reptile mind I am the spark of life and blood and hope and rage and pain inside I am the calling, unholy lust, I will not be satisfied I am the red man I am the red man I am the red man and I am coming *Oh, and how the blood is boiling Streaming in the veins How it lights up My eyes And the will Is burning, cold like ice I am falling upwards Above the sky*

O, Child 08:19
lyrics

O, child, born of my blood Joy of my trembling hands My forgotten voice in the dark The warmth in my eyes You, who light my dying flame My light under heavy skies O, child, born of my blood You, who fell from me I seek you far over the world Far beyond the mountains and the valleys I seek you in the hidden corners of the heart I seek you in the stars O, child, born of my blood Joy of my trembling hands I seek you under the skies Always, I seek you Grasping hands ever empty Breath heavy with smoke I seek you in the depths of my heart I seek you in the stars

Bring me home Bring me home Bring me home again Bring me home Oh, bring me home Let all stop pretending And I go And I go Leaving everything Break my walls Break my walls Break my walls again Stripped of all Stripped of all Empty in the ending And I call Reach for the divide See it all Turn around and fall across the sky Come down, It comes apart and we are falling Soaring between the stars, forever falling As the world is undone We stand tall We stand tall Tall between the burning trees and Let them fall Let them fall Leave them to their agony And all Is crumbling in our hands And we are all We are all that's left Come down, We fall apart and we are soaring Everything Unravels as we seek the morning Seeking, We seek it far beyond the falling clouds Rending, We rend the veil, we cast aside the shroud And we are undone And all Falls away, goes down to rest We stand tall We are all that's left
