Dear Sun
Why do you desiccate this heart
Bleed it dry
No blessing sent down in disguise
O Death
Why is it here that you reside
Ingest
And drain all the color as you drink the rest
Sun
Why do you desiccate this land
Leave it scorned
No blessing sent by heaven's lords
O Death
Why is it here that you adorn
Digest
Drain all the water, no fruit to be left

A walk home
Vermillion path
His feet turned gray
From dust they have amassed
A stiff coat
With tired, amber hues
A bit of help
A friend with nothing left to lose
Shall we
Stay inside our shells
As the reaper takes his prey
The world will only darken without candlelight
With you, I think I'll try
To get to the other side
A dauntless
Whistle in the air
His wings grew thin
His spirit didn't care
A warm talk
With words unspoken
A scorching sun
An infatuated wind
Shall we
Stay inside our shells
As the reaper takes his prey
The world will only darken without candlelight
With you, I think I'll try
To get to the other side
Shall we
Stay inside our shells
As the reaper takes his prey
Oh, the world will only darken without candlelight
With you, I think I'll try

Blissful glow
Under a willow tree
Kindness flows
From a golden reverie
It speaks in tongues
Of fore-bearers long forgotten
Humble lungs
That tell us to prepare for what's to come
Hands have built
Stories lain in the roots around him
Tales that quilt
A thread preserved in mystery
A welcome ear
Face creased like the rotten oakwood
Do not fear
He says as though he senses we're afraid
Our home will die, unless we find a way
He then begins to speak his mind
A legend lost from weary times
A secret song unearthed before our eyes
I heard a story long ago
Of spirits found in heaven's snow
Atop a mountain far above the skies
These spirits, pure as light could bring
An endless flow of water, spring
Back to places cursed with death and waste
In order to restore this life
It would not come without a price
A set of totems the spirits do require
The skin of a limbless ghoul
The feather of a winged fool
A trickster fit with pride that's bound to fall
The tooth of a putrid brute
The sharpest minds he can pollute
And last, a creature foul as death himself
The claw of a murderous beast
Starving for a holy feast
A bitterness untamed by nature's hands
But who would journey so far
Face the dangers and take on such perilous scars
The fox and bird looked to each other's eyes
Without a question, knew they had to risk it all and try
Forward they went, as faces met with shock
Knowing the restless spirits that'd hunt among the path they'd walk
Though their lives may be lost along the way
It'd be worth it all to save the home they knew deserved to stay

See me
Shriveling in pieces
Hear this
Cacophony of quiet screams
And when the night is over
They don't go they don't go they don't go away
Death becomes me
He's inviting
No escaping
Your love will never quench the endless thirst of your rage
Few can save the soulless
Save the soulless
Useless fools
Your fate is simple
Black, infested
Sickening
Dry bones
See me
You can take my skin, but I promise you this day
Your love will never satisfy your rage
Sink into the sink into the sink into the sink into the
Sink into the sink into the sink into the sink into the
Let the earth consume me
Sink into the suffering
Carcasses infected with
Ripened dunes of emptiness
Endless soulless nothingness
Sink down you'll never escape from your rage
Rage

Drifting hills catch the eye in passing
As we greet the day
Beaten wings graced with ease we'll follow
Master of the wind
Will they be as unkind as he
Just keep moving
Savor this moment cuz there's more to follow
Know for sure that time is delicate
Braver, you'll never know what's waiting
Don't you fear no more
Today we own the sky
Ask politely, you may receive but
My heart lives for play
Catch the feather in flight, if you dare
Then take of it, you may
Careful now, into caves unsound
Stay with me
Savor this moment cuz there's more to follow
Know for sure that time is delicate
Braver, you'll never know what's waiting
Don't you fear no more
Today we own the sky
Savor this moment cuz there's more to follow
Know for sure that time is delicate
Braver, you'll never know what's waiting
Don't you fear no more
Today we own the sky

Breath escape me
Feel my heartbeat
Surrender is the temptress that we must meet
Waiting in the mire for a swift retreat
Brace my wings before the rift
Don't fail me now before I give in to the rift
Spirits please
The rain will you return to us
From the holy mountain
Stay with me
Together through the light
Together we survive
By light you run
And stumble through the dark
Prey, falsify
Together we survive
Overwhelm my senses
Hunger roars in my stead
Dress my palms black with filth
Still my claws are stained red
Play savior
Starving the brute, an outcast
As I suffer
This hero's facade won't last
Your kind could never understand
Selfish need
The world has written rules for us
That cannot be broken
Rivals bleed
Together in the fight
But I alone survive
Blessed bones may pass the rift
Salvation stands in cursed bones across the rift
Spirits please
The rain will you return to us
From the holy mountain
Stay with me
Rivals bleed
Together in the fight
Together we survive
But I alone survive
We survive

Hello
Welcome
It's been years since I've seen such
Savory faces around here
I'm not the most graceful of hosts
But please make yourselves at home
I've been, shall we say, starving for company
What surprise
A sweet delight
Lounging in depths of warm molasses, I
Know you seek a prize
Might you get a little bit closer to me
I promise, these scars are deceiving
I can help you, you see
Play my game
Stare at the face of death, oh you miserable swine
Or leave in shame
Wait
Come back
I cherish every little angelic creature in the
Wait
A snack
My mouth is dripping from a voracious appetite
Hold on
We'll play your game
We've come so far
We cannot give in
Let's play my game
Peel back your bloody eyelids and witness
A god's display
My tooth
Get back here you mewling pieces of fodder
What a pathetic waste of meat
You'll be sorry you couldn't have had a quicker death, you filthy cowards

Softly
I hover on you
Thought we'd reached the sun
But we tried to preserve
What we knew of love, I
Collect the colors of your heart
And take them to the end
What you dream of
In desperation
I hear you gently sing
Spirits please
The rain will you return to us from the holy mountain
Someone please
I cannot bear this weight
Don't take him away
Up in the clouds
Oblivion sounds
Whatever way you go
It's not right if it's not with me
From the earth we're grounded to
All the way up to the blue
I know I'll see your face again
In truth you'll never leave
Collect the colors of your heart
And take them to the end
I can hear the rain
You whisper quiet as you fade away into my arms

The crows were watchin'
Takin' in the scene
Blackened holes for eyes that tear the spirit to the spleen
Oh he knew that all was lost as his limbs began to cave
He reached a speed so quick just as his will, it all but gave
Run, run, run now, as fast as you can
The snow, it isn't kind to those who lay hope in this land
Find
My
Sight
Find my sight
Closely follow a crooked path
Interweaving until I collapse
Trust my heart with a blinded lens
In a twisted reflection of how it ends
Your blood, fresh drawn intoxication
Like wine from a fount for my desire
You have never known this
Barren land of bitter frost your
Brittle throat at any cost is
My reward after
Years deprived on the
Highest cliff face
Spineless morsels lose the fight
Fight
Flight
Fight
Fight or flight
You hear me
Nowhere left for you to hide
You coward
I can smell your fear
The ground below me is erupting like the home I left behind
There is no spirit who could give me back the home that once was mine
I tried to reach the sun
But all I touched were your burning bones
What I wouldn't give to just
Survive
Never has a place been so close and yet so far
If you were here, maybe all would be still just for a moment
You'd remind me of the gentle breeze in the trees that brought us here
You would tell me to pick up my feet and
Run

Now it hurts, to earth I'm bound
A pain that's drowning all the forest sound
Strength lies within, it lifts me up
I made it here, my friend
I hear it now
A rain as soft as you
But is it you that I hear calling out
