    Album: The Weirding

    The Weirding:

    Careless speeds of light to nowhere
    Pass so near no room to grow there
    Multiplying moonstruck rabid zoo

    No direction weavers waver
    Asking darkness for a favor
    Earthless black cat showing signs so true

    All the blind sight dims the white light
    Fire blood raven screams
    Spreading influence through waking dreams

    The world spins out of tune
    And there's nothing we can do
    To save her now

    Blindly follow twisted tales
    It seems forever without fail
    Cat's paws mind their fairy stories dear

    Leaders lead to cemeteries
    Living through apothecaries
    Hear the ringing
    Swan song drawing near

    All the blind sight kills the white light
    Fire blood raven screams
    Spreading influence through waking dreams

    The world spins out of tune
    And there's nothing we can do
    To save her now

    Take my place
    In the human race
    Lead me from here
    The weirding of the wicked world

    Electric eyes
    Have you seen what lies
    Lead me from here
    The weirding of the wicked world



    Silent Sleep:

    Silent sleep creeps through with crystal sand
    Hope to wake in ether's meadowland
    Travel on the light
    A million miles away from here

    Hollowed earth or burning ember light
    Four winds carry black into white
    Far beyond the blue
    A million miles away from here

    Swallowed sun by morning's shadow lark
    No time here to fear the closing dark
    Far beyond the blue
    A million miles away from here

    These heavy days
    Come far too soon
    Escape to the dream
    To feel in the womb

    Turn back the hands
    That pull in the night
    To live once again
    A new second sight


    The River Under:

    Here on the side
    I really want to show you
    Thousands of the faces on the wall

    It wasn’t time
    They’ve taken all your mind
    From the world we left so far behind

    The river took the sand
    And this chance will end
    To live days like the one we never lived
    Stealing from the ones you can’t forgive

    The choice wasn’t hard to choose
    When they’ve taken everything to lose
    Now you hear the words I never said

    And I know a person or two
    Who really want to stay with you
    The hangman came and took you by the hand
    Down to where the river understands

    The people talking lives are tolling
    And the women have gone away
    Waves keep falling rain keeps calling
    Where we laughed yesterday


    Broken Glass:

    Broken leaves turn to grass
    Seasons change into past
    And leave me be
    I’ll wait till the morning has gone away
    And turned into dawn

    She has come, gone away
    Turns back time, other days
    When she screams
    She takes back the autumn that’s turned to grey
    And whispers in the rain

    Wait for the day when we went on the run
    Wait for the day when they took away the sun
    Broken glass made to last
    Cuts my skin, heals so fast


    Beyond to Slight the Maze:

    Weathered stormy heavy hand
    Once or twice for grains of sand
    To only fall back towards the sky
    Fading in the old once more reprise

    Living always underground
    Sub rosa dosed in shadows found
    Bittersweet it slowly grows
    Circling around where no one knows
    Drowning out the musing grave
    Toll for mages cure to save
    Sages veil the harbinger
    To fight shy of the black blizzard

    Leave the world
    Disappear
    Higher than even the atmosphere
    Ebbing out of phase to feel
    Beyond to slight the maze

    Cloud the clear
    The crystalline
    Quell the black noise of the mind machine
    Ebbing out of phase to feel
    Beyond to slight the maze

    White horizon out of reach
    Can't see the forest for the trees
    The bane of all has undermined
    Turning to the dream till end of time
    Drowning out the musing grave
    Toll for mages cure to save
    Sages veil the harbinger
    To fight shy of the black blizzard



    The Weirding Bonus 7"
    Winter Witch (demo) /
    Cosmic Wind (demo):


    Winter Witch:
    Wind blew cold
    And lies were told
    A blanket silver grey
    Soldiers of ice guard where
    Children once played

    Breath snow white
    A dreadful sight
    Just waiting for the sun
    Rivers of glass still where
    Water had run

    Autumn shades have
    Washed away
    My blood turned crystal blue
    The warmth I have left comes from
    My dreams of you

    When I sleep
    I dream of my rooster
    How I steal him back
    To call upon the dawn
    But it never seems to happen baby
    And this season
    Just lingers on

    Black and white
    By candlelight
    The Winter Witch she flies
    Chasing the light of the day
    from our eyes

    The wood it creaks
    And nothing speaks
    No crack within the clouds
    Silence now grows so
    Incredibly loud

    Years and years
    Have disappeared
    The witch she never knew
    The warmth I have left comes from
    My dreams of you






     
    Album: The Black Chord

    The Black Chord:

    Threadbare, the nightmare
    Summoning the sound
    From out of the darkness
    Newfound

    Sun cracked, the abstract
    Seer of the sand
    At mountains of madness
    Crash land

    Told the tall tale
    Chapter and the verse
    On the balance
    Bounty and a curse
    Into bright white
    Only to reverse
    For the Earth
    Swallows whole

    Tic toc stop
    The draining body cold
    Demon claws they
    Crack the crust
    To cascade through the fold
    Bottomless the
    Black gates lie
    To trap the rapturing
    Choking on the
    Bated breath
    the brink of capturing
    Shadow sister fate

    Sharp tongue, black lung
    Cursed cries the unclean
    Lightless, dark cess
    burning breath the unseen
    Last gate, mutate
    Drawn upon the mad score
    Wayworn, reborn
    Awakening the black chord


    Quake Meat:

    Madness woke with sordid wound
    Lights reflecting eyes
    Morning sun burns idle moon
    Shadowing disguise
    Chanting fire idiom
    Drawn unravelled tongue
    Follows me inside a dream
    Aberrations laugh

    Life is shining radiant
    Open portal stare
    Idle moon invites the breeze
    Apparition air
    Falling through me weakening
    Blocking out the sky
    Follows me inside a dream
    Aberrations laugh


    Drift:

    I hear the silence
    Getting louder
    From the place
    We used to be

    Images are fading as I
    Drift between two worlds

    I’m moving slowly to the
    Voices in my head

    From the one waiting here
    I can’t deceive your time
    Goes by today

    I feel the comfort calling
    To my empty dream

    From the one waiting here
    I can’t deceive your time
    Gone away

    Please show me the way
    To evolution
    Please take us away
    So we can be free


    Barefoot In The Head:

    Falling apart from everyone
    Follow the setting sun
    Out of time
    Caught in the siphon circle
    Braincaged in the dark
    Deeper down, mirrored without a sound

    Time and again it fades away
    Hollow the patterning fray
    Reason rime
    Unravelling the webwork
    Disintegrate
    River rust, turning to carbon dust

    Spirit the hours, day after day
    Chasing the bright side, losing the way

    Burning out and barefoot in the head
    I’m hanging by a thread the writing on the wall
    Lost and bound inside the grey machine
    And nothing in between can break the final fall

    Shadow the winding mind from here
    Prophet and prey to the fear
    Draw the line
    Just on the lunatic fringe
    Balancing there
    On the edge, driving another wedge
