Farewell

Farewell, oh dream of mine!
I dare not stay
The hour is come, and time
Will not delay
Pleasant and dear to me
Wilt thou remain
No future hour
Brings thee again
She stands, the Future dim
And draws me on
And shows me dearer joys—
But thou art gone!
Treasures and Hopes more fair
Bears she for me
And yet I linger
Oh dream, with thee!
Other and brighter days
Perhaps she brings
Deeper and holier songs
Perchance she sings
But thou and I, fair time
We too must sever—
Oh dream of mine
Farewell for ever!

Gods
Karma
Destiny
Why don’t you take this curse off of him
and put it on me?
So much to be told
So much to learn ‘til you grow old
So much to be seen
So many places to be in
No, no, no
There’s so much to be known
So much you won’t hear
So many truths you won’t come near
So much you won’t know
Wouldn’t reap none of what’s been sown
No, no, no
There’s so much to be known
Gods
Karma
Destiny
Why don’t you take this curse off of him
and put it on me?
No pain no more
No terror, no horror
No sadness and no joy
Nothing but peace there in the void
No, no, no
There’s so much to be known
Gods
Karma
Destiny
Why didn’t you take this curse off of him
and put it on me?

Hubris

Before the seven seals are broken
And the four call us to come
The daughter of night
Salutes us in flight
Canters in avantgarde sole
We chase the winged swine
Too close to the sun
We burn
We fall
To finally drown
Before we hear the sound of seven trumpets
And cries of souls slain for the word of god
The sister of death
Takes away our breath
Holds the banner of victory high
We produce wonders dime a dozen
To present right before her throne
We stand so bold
Of our silver and gold
Empty bowels, coughing blood
Violence
Arrogance
Pride

Bones of Giants
09:41
|

Oh, mountains!
Never looked past my feet before
Oh, mountains!
All I see is by standing on your tops
Oh, Mountains!
Greater creatures once dwelled this land
Now only ashes remain
Higher
Higher
Higher
The farthest a man can get
Giants
Down to your feet I bow
And I saw
The tower made of your bones
And I couldn’t reach the top
So I laid down below

Immortality

Do not stand
By my grave and weep.
I am not there,
I do not sleep
I am the thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle, autumn rain.
I do not sleep,
I did not die.
As you awake with morning’s hush,
I am the swift, up-flinging rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight,
I am the day transcending night.
Do not stand
By my grave and cry
I am not there,
I did not die.

The Captain Stays

Hey, brothers!
To the eye of the storm we’re being led
Doom and death
Are the only two waiting ahead
Hey, brothers!
Sail away
Hey, brothers!
Run away
To the boats when still we may
Hey, brothers!
Sail away
Hey, brothers!
Run away
Only the captain stays
I watch the sea
Swallows thee
Right before
It closes over me
And I’m no more
The captain lives
The sea denies
Taking bastards in
Washes him ashore unharmed
Alone
No escape from the rocks
Alone
Between the corpses and rot
Feed on us now
Use the carcass
As you used us alive
Feed on us now
Eat the carcass
As you ate us alive
Hey, brothers!
To the eye of the storm we’ve been led
Doom and death
Were indeed the two waiting ahead
