Harbingers 10:41
Wings ablaze Scorching the air with the ground in my sights Earth is razed No hope left carry me forth The crash is imminent I descend through the blizzards and blistering snow Still I’m not there I must hurry, for there’s fire below They’re gaining on us They’re gaining on us My eyes straight (they’re gaining on us) Is this fate (they’re gaining on us) With blood streaming Rivers of life flying towards the sky Vision fading now My balance… leaving me My fingers frozen I won’t feel your face again A price I’m willing to pay I look toward thee, Alphard I’ll never see daylight But I’ve seen enough I’ve singed the last whisper You can’t reach me now I’ll never see daylight But I’ve seen enough They’re gaining on us They’re gaining on us My gaze fixed (on a dimming sky) Our wings clipped (never to fly) …Again

Winds, frigid rain, accents to my soul Each arrow’s knowledge gained, regardless what they stole The sights I’ve seen The cries I’ve heard The torment witnessed The peace I’ve earned… can never be yours The years deceive us, and make us forget Our vibrant past, and solemn regret The leaves are falling, their song I must heed The sages speak, their knowledge need And as their arrows seek ground My flesh embraces every piercing round I am finally set free Keep close… my memory Winds, frigid rain, accents to my soul Each arrow’s knowledge gained, regardless what they stole The sights I’ve seen The cries I’ve heard The torment witnessed The peace I’ve earned… can never be yours

Adrift, Beneath the Listless Waves

Psalm of the Merciless
6.
Under a frozen star, taken far from their reach The final approach begins, focused on closing the breach The gentle voice of a stoic brook quietly calling me close The welcoming waters shimmer, hiding faces of whispering ghosts Of cries below There’s little I know But I’ll find your secrets, your coveted glow Your sun may rise again but I’ve been breathing on borrowed time There is no place for angels In this silent heaven of mine Authors Of aquatic graves Sleeping Deep beneath the waves Tell me What I must seek Guide me Your words I will speak It seems just a moment ago, my gaze was lost in a sea of stars My spirit calm, my eyes transfixed on the shining prophets afar I could not see you coming, though I knew that you exist Collapsed on my knees, I stare at the ground, engulfed by this fathomless mist Of songs above Not much I know of I don’t seek your secrets, your coveted love Your sun may rise again but I’ve been breathing on borrowed time There is no place for angels In this silent heaven of mine Authors From ethereal graves Soaring High above the waves Teach me To master this curse Guide me Through this hell I traverse
