Prologue (Avarice)
07:51
|
|||
Through the sky,
Silver boned wings.
To the west,
Eyes glimmer
Here I'll build my throne,
We can't all wear the crown.
Dreams of a gilded tomb,
Lull me to my slumber.

The Silver Woman
07:00
|
|||
She of Golden Blood
She of Silver Bone
She who's buried here
Her body means our throne
Let me be, let me sleep
I'll return to my home
She of Golden Blood
She of Silver Bone
An unnatural thing
Her grave godless
Could it be, is there one
I could lead to my home?
Drop your shovels boys, leave this hallowed ground
Gold is yours to go
Come with me, oh kind one
Your reward will follow

Seismic
05:46
|
|||
Leave a scar
in the earth
Crack, crumble
Death Rattle
Flood brings a sea,
scar disappears
A path ends,
old world is drowning
Collapse and then flood in
You cleanse us when you drive
Your hands into the earth
Destruction brings new life
We are open
We are free
Backs to the flood, we walk on
|

The Grove/Rootless
07:45
|
|||
Our roots below, our leaves above
We ageless ones will grant reward
Your life will end, for life unending
But is our gift a poison to you?
No roots below, no leaves above
You walk with me, not bound to earth
You walked with me, but I cannot follow
Your kindness back at the headstone
has revealed my secret
I promised you your reward
And now you spit into my face
You walk with me, not bound to earth
You walked with me, but I cannot follow
|

The Funeral Mountains
06:54
|
|||
Black swan flies south
On wings of avarice
Best to follow
Leave her wooden dreams
Motionless is death
Glimmer is life
Long for a Grave Dreamless
Not a life insane
Lost, she wanders alone
Forever under the swirling skies
Everything is gone
Centuries pass in the blink of an eye
Perpetual loneliness
Falling deeper into the void
Dreams of whispering empire
Have been completely destroyed
Never to feel a comforting touch
Never to hear another kind word
Condemned to this endless night
Sentenced to never again be heard
Gone from me, no return
Your arms seek wealth but will find death
Long for a Grave Dreamless
Not a life insane
|
||||
6. |
||||
The Sun slips through the leaves
No marker here for you
I feel your bones beneath my roots
Then I rise and walk away
Those who came after cut us down
The Ancient Ones no longer live
And I can only walk for so long
Before the black wings block out the sun
And I can only walk for so long
Before the black wings block out the sun
