Give Her To The River
07:27

We are not prisoners
Bound by form alone
We must find freedom from our suffering
We must transcend our flesh and bone
In the fire we transform
In the water be reborn
I am growing old and weary now
Burdened by the weight of time
It’s clear that you are still around
I still feel so left behind
In the fire we transform
In the water be reborn
Soul remains
Flow away
And every mystery disintegrates
Swallowed by the void again
All my memories reintegrate
Unleashing energy of galaxies within
In the fire we transform
Beyond infinity reborn
Soul remains
Flow away

Barn Burner

Where do I begin
At what point does all of this end
How long will you pretend
That any one of us is free from sin
Another body for the fire
Soon the world will be a funeral pyre
You bought and sold the greatest lie
No one left to crucify
Light your torches
Just remember
You’ll be the next to burn
Go ahead and light your torches
Just remember
You’ll be the next to burn
Burn

Hanged Man's Revenge
04:49
|
|||
Led to the slaughter
Slave to the authors of fate
A human pendulum
Boiling over with hate
Tormented victim
Trapped at the mercy of time
Crippled and blinded
Torn from the prime of his life
Open the gates of hell
Never to return
The hanged man will have his revenge
Bloodthirsty animal
Breaking free from his cage
Aeons of silence
Taught him to master his rage
Death meditation
Violent elation arise
Generations forsaken
They hanged him
But he is alive
Open the gates of hell
Never to return
The hanged man will have his revenge
Spoken to death himself
Lessons that we learned
The hanged man will have his revenge

These Two Hands
05:48
|
|||
The past came back and whispered in my ear
Suspended in time, the hour draws near
The future can’t remember where it leads
The light in your eyes begins to leave
These two hands
Carried you out of this life
Every day I wake up paralyzed
We did all we could to keep you alive
Learn to live without you by my side
Wishing I’d been the one who died
My hands and my heart
Are empty
Missing this vital force
Within me
All that I am
Changed forever
I have to believe
It gets better

Death Won't Stop Me
04:26
|
|||
I’ve seen the ages come and go
Through all I have prevailed
Outlived those who would stop me
Many tried and many failed
My power never wavers
Like the rising of the sun
Longing to embrace my death
But death won’t ever come
I know that I will never be at peace
I bid farewell to everything I know
Swore I’d never feel again
Every name I carved into the stone
Lay to rest what could have been
There is an ancient calling that I must obey
Death won’t stop me
There is an anger that will never go away
Death won’t stop me
Sentenced to forever
Only memories of pain
The end and the beginning tied together
When the stars have fallen, I will still remain
I know that I shall never be released
I bid farewell to everything I know
Swore I’d never feel again
Every name I carved into the stone
Lay to rest what could have been
There is an ancient calling that I must obey
Death won’t stop me
There is an anger that will never go away
Death won’t stop me
There is an ancient calling that I must obey
Death won’t stop me
This curse I carry with me never goes away

I Shall Return
05:04
|

Onward
The mountain is the way
Following the eagle
I carry the flame
Fire
Night turns into day
Spent my whole life just trying
To find somewhere to stay
Onward
Life demands to be
Silence slowly giving way
A river running free
Water
Carving out its fate
My past eroding now
My future taking shape
If I leave, I shall return
No need to grieve, I shall return
Giving back my body to the earth
If I leave, I shall return
Haunted
Trying to forgive
Forgetting how to die
Learning how to live
Driven
Riding on the wind
Everything that’s flying high
One day will descend
And if you’re trying to go home
You have to find it on your own

Siren Of The South
05:53
|
|||
Hard to believe
What she means to me
We live and breathe
In the flowing streams
The atmosphere is heavy here
Feels like a waking dream
Eyes open wide
Songs taking flight
She speaks through me
Trying to get to you
She lives in everything we do
Try and lose your mind
Slower moving time
Sinking low
She won’t let you leave
Never really free
Dying slow

Ghost At The Gallows
07:54
|
|||
God I feel like nothing but a ghost
Haunting my own life
God help me, I am totally alone
Lost in the fading light
Let go
Rope around my throat
Dying to breathe
My soul
Dragged away from hope
I’ll never break free
God, I swear I felt it in my bones
Now I can’t feel at all
Father time has a mind all his own
A lifetime I can’t recall
Raindrops form a river
River flows into the sea
You dammed the stream
Of everything that I could ever be
A synchronistic frequency
Connecting everything that breathes
This unifying energy
Forever torn away from me
