Labrynthian Graves

The grim camaraderie of failed men and women
Haunt the white plains of hell
Labyrinthian graves
A wretched span of killing and dying
Still in the mud of the valley
Guarded by gods above and below
Cloaked in hide
and banded-wood breast plate
The Wardens of the Iron Helm
Bound in hidden kinship they recite their vow:
To cleanse the waters of history
To fashion new civilization
deemed decent and righteous
To defend their right
to suffer their own imperfections
A song for those who slid lifeless down the blade
Grand Fathers of Light
Let the children drink freely
from the cup of your palm
Let the sanguine crystal hallways
grant us fervour within
As we walk upon the wind

Glimmer In The Umbra
05:11
|
|||
The world crowded close
Round this meagre party
The conceit of mortal life
Begins and so must end
But not tonight
In the great well of the ancient god
Guided by the light of borealis
Phantom apparitions drink
in the face of subconscious wraith
The smoke of woodfire glimmers in the umbra
an Icy fortress of blood and ages
Midnight wolves
Stalk the nights meal
The wardens shed their iron
and look to vertical depths
Crumble not at the assault of revelation
Stillness does not belong among the living
100 or more strides
100 more times
He ye courage, o my brethren

Banner Of Grief
03:52
|
|||
They raised a banner of grief
Lamenting souls with more to come
Where thousands had once flourished
The bitterness of their last words ring low under turned earth
Through the howling wind
Their cries scything through the crags and rock
They dream of finding and taking life
With loved ones fragile in their eyes.

Emerging from heavens vault
Trumpeting high from foul corridors
Along timeworn white cliffs
The sun blooms in lurid mercy
They shed the darkness of their spirits
Careening down a narrow path walled in stone
The stuttering herd thump proudly
Writhing in willful ignorance
Drifting a path begot
But the sun blooms for now
An earthly trespass transpired
Defiance against the breath of gods
Purge if not for a moment
Tread on in desolate peace
Where the earth meets the sky
At the forest’s feet
Spirit to guide us continue to be
Far from youthful realms
The dust settles in ravaged land
They’ve learned of suffering
And vow to forsake it all
Now, with lightening in their hands
Culled from the chaos
Time is reborn from perilous skies
