A Quiet Condition
03:46
|
|

|
Oblivious
To all that surrounds me
Another day
Where colours return to grey
Trade this life for another
Hopeful and clean
Awake alive
Signed up, sight unseen
Racing by
Past all these other lives
I cry
And denounce all their actions
It warms my heart to see you now
At a standstill
Trust the lie will get you by
A quiet condition
These sands of time are running dry
Drift away
An attempt to quench your thirst with wine
It's a viscous circle
Impervious
To all that surrounds me
Falling away
A mote of dust caught in a beam
Give your time to another
See them through
Take my hand in yours
There's so much that we can do
These sands of time are running dry
Drift away
An attempt to quench your thirst with wine
It's never-ending
These sands of time are flying by
Drift away
An attempt to quench your thirst with wine
It's a quiet condition

New Dominion
04:37
|
|
||
|
The future has become so clear
Now more than just a word
For what's to come
I need to cut through all the hate around me
Tear down this blackened wall
And reach out
To love
Free
I can guarantee
A whole new dynamic
Possibility
I choose to see the good within this world
Know it hasn't been an easy nor a simple switch
A brackish mix of life and death around me
Tear down the blackened wall
Watch it fall
Free
I can guarantee
A whole new dynamic
Possibility
For us all
A vision of one
New dominion
For us all

Reflections

|
|

Rushing
These years are flying by like days
Faster now, going down
Over and over the edge we fall
So far down into the core
These shores may be broken
But the water flows here just the same
So long now
Wearing down
Over and over again
One day we may fall
Remain one
Through it all
One day I will die
Remain strong and one
Through it all
Memories once so solid and clear
Turn to mist as they fall
This is the curse of our time
Caught in the current of life
Here in the surf
The cresting waves
I wallow in time
Counting the days
We all are lost
We are ablaze
Here on the shore
Watching the waves
Life in fast forward
My experience of time
Frantically, wistfully
Wish I could have another look
A second try
And hit rewind

Transcendence
06:13
|
|
||
|
Slowly, I've come to know
The different directions that life can go
Spend your days
In your own way
Forward and onward
These nightmares flying around me
Never adventure
These dreams are dying in my hands
The cold rain
And its clarity
Allows me to breathe
The sorrow
And anxiety
Deep inside of me
Has gone
Slowly, these hectic dreams
Have reduced to a gentle stream
Spend your days
In your own way
In dreams we fly
With open eyes
Soar through blue
Unending skies
Memories
wait to be
discovered there
In open air
The cold rain
And its clarity
Allows me to breathe
The sorrow
And anxiety
Deep inside of me
Has gone
The cold rain
And its clarity
Allows me to breathe
The sorrow
And the agony
Deep inside of me

Fragments
03:53
|
|
||
|
It's a crime for all to see
When we tell the mind to stop
And I blame this all on me
One last thought
Break away
From the torment of this
Every day
You know you're not alone
Lucid dreams
As they pass they can
Make it seem
That all your life is a lie
Hold on
To the promise of a
New dawn
Bathed in light
Now push away
All the hatred in this
Broken day
In every way you are
It's a crime for all to see
When we tell the mind to stop
And I blame this all on me
One last thought
Break down the past fragility
Before we are gone
Held up by things we cannot see
Cut it off
Hollow
All the fear inside that
Must go
Chase it out
Now fall away
From the sickness in this
Broken day
Far away
It is time for all to see
As we tell the mind to stop
Caring for compassion, loyalty
Our lives rot
Hold on to things that cannot be
And mend those that come undone
Fragments of our past
They fall away

Blood of the North
04:33
|
|
||
|
The tundra's bitter hold
Clutches the land
Weaving the forests of old
Stalking, the claw
The fang and the hand
Usurping the will of beast and man
Into the winds we ride
Beyond the wilds we die
From the frost we crawl forth
We are
Cursed to remain
To die another day
Marching forth
We are the
Blood of the north
No tide to wash away the sin
No place for price nor prize
Unsung the stories of our kin
No decay and no remorse
In these lands
Kempt by ice
Crowned by moonlight
In the eve of dying
Soothsayer's songs
Send the wind howling
A splinter of silver hangs up above
An omen unknown
Lost before time

Journey
04:44
|
|
||
|
Come take a seat
There's time for reflection here
The slow churning is music
To the ears
Wade out, wander
Change your frame of mind
Leave the hate, anger, drama
Behind
And in the cold mist of the waves
You'll pine for long-passed days
A way to walk back through the years
Relive your life again
But the prints in the sand
Lead up to where you stand
And will someday wash away
All Away
Tread with care
Breathe the air
Stay forever
Never leave me
Til my journey's end
Come take a look
Time has gone so fast
You thought the sweet tranquillity
Would last
Forever
Pensive moments, hours are fleeting by
Watch the sun set one last time
In your life
Wade out farther
Have a peace of mind
You'll live on in memories
Left behind

Heart of the Sea
06:23
|
|
||
|
Regrets are not penance
Of this, I am sure
I'm drowning in sorrow
For the pain they've endured
Ravaged by plagues
Cast out by disease
Hear now our plea
It offers no relief
And no escape
Our home below the waves
Until the end of our days
Til the end of our time
In leagues beyond, the sea
In fathoms afar we breathe
We are the heart of the sea
Wishing only for peace
From the past I have left
But the aching goes on
My labours undone
Such a fitting end for the shell I've become
Just what I hoped to see
No mercy for me
Penance
For your silence
Dark are the depths
Keeping us at bay
Forcing us away
Pregnant
Is this moment
With a will to fight
Forcing you to stay
Live another day
Reshape my thoughts
But it's just never enough
The darkness is long
The shadow lies ahead
I turn to dust
Waiting as long as I must
The darkness is gone
And my end lies ahead

Words of Radiance
04:41
|
|
||
|
Look at the open sky
Breathe in the wind
Enjoy the freedom
Here we go
Another show
These words of radiance surround
Everything
Find the most important words
That one can say
Take your time
Go and find yourself
Before someone else
Brings you down
At the beginning
Take the time
Go and find the sign
Before someone else
Brings you down
To the beginning
Look at the evening stars
See how far we have come from
Hollow spite
And a liar's light
These walls surrounding us will fall
We are who we are
A wild ride
And then we die
These words of radiance define
Reality

Destruction Legacy
04:26
|
|
||
|
Apologizing throughout the years
Malformed steps and wasted tears
Mind for mechanical, technical waste
To stain and displace
They turn and remind me
That the mask is donned
I wander on
From nearest the end
The darkness will bend
Shattering thoughts
Forsaken and lost
These splinters of my mind
Flee from our hopes and dreams
And we run
Destruction, our legacy
And we run
They scorn and remind me
That the past is gone
Yet I get caught
Lost in thoughts

Dark Divide
04:28
|
|
||
|
Stand
And know that it is normal
To feel the spark inside
And see the world in colour
Not through a tainted lens
Engage your heart
I'll lift you up now
As your world begins
From this perspective
I see so clearly how
We survive
Defy
The pain you feel
Know the darkest moments of night
Have already gone
By
Renew the light
Tend the glowing coals left inside
A dark divide
And as the wind erodes the hill
Grinding us inside the mill
The realm of possibility
Left alone
Too blind to see
Stand
Know that it is alright
To feel the dark inside
Our dreams are merely visions
Where we fantasize
Memories of other lives
When we wake is when we die
Three words unspoken
Cut it out
I see so clearly now
A brand new life
And as we stop making sense
Cut it out

Become the Shattered Sun
05:14
|
|
||
|
Battered by waves of time
Twisting and churning
Forever yearning
I long for the eye
For a break in the storm
Beyond the horizon
Driven below
Our past, it haunts us
Penance to peace
Denied
Far above us
Words in whispers
The wandering light
Shines beyond these scapes
And on, on into the night
I'll never see
The light of the dawn
I must become the shattered sun
Trying to bury what I've done
To see what I've become
The broken one
Forgotten by Earth's embrace
My weakness, it grows,
As my strength fades
I've been hiding for far too long
Searching for shelter
And falling forever
Wandering lost in the black
Blinded by fear
And uncertain of the path
Unable to stop moving
The slowest pace
We are crawling forward
Always close, never paired
And black, so black
It remains

Beneath a Weeping Sky
07:29
|
|
||
|
Softly on the plain
The freely falling rain
Timeless, eternal
As far as I can see
Time passes by
Beneath a weeping sky
Rain starts to pool
Soon it will move
And carry me away
There are many gaps
Numberless faults
So many times I can't recall
And are they ever coming back
Or are they lost
Are they locked somewhere inside
Would that I could stay
Breathe in the sweet familiar air
Sun ever-shining here
I'll follow you down paths new and old
As I dream of all of the days
Gone by
I hear the call
The roaring of the falls
Welcome, inviting
The smell of sweet decay
Up above the sky
The sun will always shine
Enduring, eternal
A constant in my mind
Would that I could stay
Bathe in the warm familiar light
Sun ever-shining here
Euphoria lies heavy in the air
Through the fog of an aging mind
Breathe new life
As I age
The more memories are stirred
And yet they're hard to grasp
Falling and falling
It's like looking at your life
Through a painted glass
And thoughts compress like snow
To form one body
Now
This valley sleeps forever in my soul
Along with those I long to see
One last time
