Khandallah 06:48
Take a seat by the fire Battle times through the evening Are we the only ones here? A naked canvas covers the sky You are a river And I’m swimming deep again Those crows above me Will keep circling till the end Oh what a wonderful surrender Where the ocean meets the sky The longs grass hides the world While trains disappear through the earth
2.
Orca 08:10
This blood river crossing Is so unforgiving Oh what a sight Please be silence while the emperor unfolds Am I just imagining? You are the arena Will I ever take a seat in the stand? Magnolia, hang me out to dry Set me on the alter Let me swim in you eyes Is this the place we first build this home Lover, I’m gonna let you down this time I smell that stench in the battle field My father I forgive you Mother let me hold you The dusts about to pass The good lord has his hand on us now The good lord has his hand on me now

The Hours 03:44
Let’s leave the town I’m ok to drive I just need a moment on my own This day and night My plan fell apart I just the evening to myself Oh, its you again My coat on the bed My shoes on the floor I just hope you don’t find me for sometime When the moon takes flight Ill depart from the scene I just need a lifetime here alone
4.
Three years to the day We let you send this nomad to a bloodied grave You are a face in the scene A part in the clock, dishevelled and hopeless Brother, the sand slips away on you Son, this in the cold hand of the law The crowd maintains you A veil in the light And we saw his needs through the casket Yet love has not forgotten you.
5.
YHWH 07:17
Spirit in the sky My brother of the earth Eerie tongue, keep me at bay Son of the south, son of my right hand We accept you and uphold you Amend and amen Waive you intention I let the earth bring me back in You are the cruel divine You are the grand design Set the wheels in motion We are in command It never ends The hours are upon me Haunting me Holding me I rest my feet by the mountain
6.
I’m in the fog of yesterday’s romance Six hundred miles short of heavens But still I don’t feel a thing I know the world outside Never welcomed back home Confined to my thoughts I’m choking on words I wont be dowsing in the sun Praying for a tragedy Hope for a Mourning Never did I hear you call I know the world outside Never welcomed back home Never did I hear you land

Funeral 11:38
The doors ten feet away The room is going up in smoke I’m chained down to my bed Soon we will be laying next to bones But you don’t have a clue You don’t even know In my head they lies an empire That’s shaking like a quake When I look up at your face I see the desert in your eyes It brings me down so low Are we going nowhere slowly dear? Those wolves are howling out Like a ghost in the night Their sirens will never forgive me That wooden box that holds the two Open for the world to see Gets lowered into the earth See you at the funeral In the mean time I’ll just keep on pretending that this is really who we are Still, we march on as one With our hearts sown in the soil Towards a definite end We’ll see you at our funeral As we exit this hold I know in myself that I gave all I could And endured my waking day I hand my soul back to the maker See at our funeral
8.
Monarch 06:20
Cliff tops and rope hangs Lift me from my spine to the heavens Please send water down the well I was held back from my bride She will become me and confiscate my name She threw me off my throne and striped me of my crown I always see the future in a strangers eyes Rocks falls as the shit dissolves Now I fear I’ve been deceived Let me worship the mountain Through a cold embrace with soil This is our slow decay You are a matador While I’m still delirious Cadaver worship Trinity warship Where did this fall apart
