Erode
The Tide
Where are they now?
They are gone.
I saw them run,
run to the sea.
Under the waves all has been said.
Can you hear them?
Their voices are free.
Free from the sun's stare,
free from the noise of lost souls.
An exiled sound washed in with the tide.
Their voices are free.
Free from the sun's stare,
free from the noise of lost souls.
On the waves their voice carries on.
From The Hill
From the hill - I've been watching - stealing the light.
In my dreams I touch animal blood rich earth swallow it down deep into my soul.
It feeds her war and raises my true nature. When I awake I am whole.
All the gods are screaming.
My feet of clay lead me on through the void and far beyond
to demonstrate my will and path, to embrace the wolf in her glory.
All hail her and wash this time in blood.
The horizon will burn, rise in fire and return to us.
A Sun That Never Sets
A sun that never sets burns on.
New light is this river's dawn.
When to speak of a word so old
is to relearn what is known.
A time to think back and move on.
Rebuild the loves of lives long gone.
The blood that flows through me is not my own.
The blood is from the past, not my own.
The blood that leads my life is not my own.
The blood is strength, I'm not alone.
Falling Unknown
With the wind at your back and the light in your eyes,
the freeze of your blindness will show.
Under the cloud cover, the flares signal change.
Will you ever know?
The fields they are burning, the smoke chokes your breath.
Will you stand or run?
You dream of a mountain, the peaks rise to the sky.
Will you answer its call?
Is your heart still beating? Can you feel this at all?
This landslide will bury us all.
With the storm on your mind and the clouds in your eyes,
will you survive?
Lie in wait, I will lie awake.
Falling through a world unknown.

Crawl Back In
Hammer in skull I am waiting to return your suffering.
In my mind I see you distant, broken and lost again.
When you come back I won't know you.
We won't fit right like it was before.
Time is truth, hard and cruel
and my heart has turned to stone.
I crawled back in, I am hungry,
I made sure my traps are set in space.
We had been standing on these tracks,
all the winds never called us back.
We laid so long, eternal night, in my heart it never left.
I'll stand here, you go on, when you see me I'll be gone.
Every road brings us on the past is never forgiven it is atoned.
Watchfire
This is all I've known. A way to be.
True to all. All that inspires.
A torch in a black sea, our stones still stand
to remind us of loss. A loss mirrored on our souls.
A watchfire brings strength. Breathe in the heat.
In the eternal path, armoured against life.
Resound
Stones From The Sky
Once is enough, trial is alone. Grace fall into us.
All through the night, Father I crawled.
Sun of my soul be revealed. Walking amongst the stones
from the sky, feeling their rhythm wash over me.
Rite of this waring god. Destructive, alive, frees you now.
Rivers of fear, don't you know? Vigil of faith stills you now.
You've been shown over and over, don't you know?
You've been shown over and over, don't you know?
