Thy Making
08:20

Before any of us ever opened our
Evil little windows to the wonder
that is our curse and a blessing...
But it comes not from the ceiling of the sky.
So why then, when so connected
We pull out the roots and rip off the fruit?
And if this is Eden then surely we were wrong,
and the worlds outside us are laughing in jest.
Before you emerged from the tear in the forest
You were as one with the soil, the birds,
An endless cycle of beauty and life and nothing
and utter bliss, for this, the only place that matters
Look upon your cradle and your tomb
With the wonder of the newborn steed
Kicking and screaming it's way
Cantering away from a sinking sun.
Then gone, but never without warning.

Secondary Hands

Her knees tremble
His hands quiver
Our vision sharpens
And our instinct takes over our bodies
Caught in the cold we scramble
toward the fire
that burns in the distance
The torch of old will light the way
Held aloft with a pair of unseen hands
Find shelter from frost.

Dim Quickening Power
10:24
|

In this, our first and last connection
A severance, a loss, an absence of thought
And from the void comes the tingle of life anew
A circle of change with no middle and no end
Feel the power that pushes the blood
Like water that seeps into the ground
The secret curse inside us all
That always escapes but can never be found
Give your body to the land but don't expect to understand
Give your body to the land.
And again we hold the key to a door
That once was locked but different
Before we can reach the chamber
we must connect as one being with one breath
Drawn together as we await to exhale.
Feel the power that pushes the blood
Like water that seeps into the ground
The secret thirst inside us all
That always escapes but can never be found.
Give your body to the land but don't expect to understand.
Don't expect to understand

Teleology
12:05
|
|||
Self-begot as you reach toward the white
In a heaven as black as night
Force yourself to breath
Force yourself to leave this place
Force your mind to take the time
To look back on those ash-covered roads.
Self begot as you reach toward the white
In a heaven as black as night
Lost in a thought...
Reach toward the white.
