Austere
Beneath the Threshold
1. Thrall
Deep into the eternal
Lost within her faded shroud
Dissipate...
Distant in cold withered night
Like ink bleeding upon silent waters
You're sailing, endlessly...
Where I can't follow
Where?
I'm moored, as a ship without course
Sinking...
Beyond depths so pale
Into another night, so far from shore
Anchored in silent, cold stillness
Within the midnight blue of her eye
Drowning dispirited
Within your cerulean waves
Breaking, as crooked as my broken bow
To still feel your grip
As stern as winter's embrace
A heart withered, descending
Sunken by your coffin-ship
Sinking beyond depths so pale
Into another night, so far from shore
2. The Sunset of Life
Autumn, here we are
A distant star
Reflected in the azure sky
Flowers blooming
In a light breeze
It seems, like it's been
An eternity
Winter is coming
By the sunset of life
The trees shed their leaves
The flowers wither and the petals fall
The unstoppable passage of time
Brings the end closer for us all
Summer came and went so fast
That in the blink of an eye
The warmth was gone
Like a fetal bone this fibrous heart
Slows down its rhythm
Slows down its march
The laughter of the old
Distant memory
The laughter of the old
Now only screams
Only screams...
3. Faded Ghost
So cold
The winter's dawn
And nothing else we know
So old
This faded ghost
And rivers that don't flow
Falling down to another
Free level
Coming down torn asunder
Freeze over
4. Cold Cerecloth
Veiled, where slumbering leaves fall
Beyond, the vow of frail hearts
Scourged upon thorned paths
Dripping thick in poison
A vision stained in sepia
A voice wailing in despair
A drapery woven cold
A ceremony of cerecloth
The vision erased
The voice silenced
The drapery burnt
The ceremonial perish
Perish...
A vision stained in sepia
A voice wailing in despair
A drapery woven cold
A ceremony of cerecloth
I inherit
I burn
I fade
I, the vanisher
The vanisher
The ordinance of everlasting end
Scattered like ash upon violent winds
Clawed into an endless dusk
Robed in eternal twilight
5. Words Unspoken
6. Of Severance
Scripture of thorns
Bled upon miseries pages
Shattered within
A constellation of severance
Swept within
Tides toward un-time
Heading south from a never-known north
Drowning, as ashes blown
Upon dark seas
My mouth sewn with rusted barbed wire
Sunken, as stone
Beneath endless oceans
A scripture of thorns, envenomed
Gnawing and never uttered
Never uttered...
Cut your flowing scarlet tether from my heart
Please, let me drown, clutching your words writhen
These wild seas, like an old steed whom canter in haste
Dripping inside, as rotten blood
Within a distant night
Whose stars fell flayed and frozen
Buried beneath the sands
The sands of nowhere
All the way to an endless nowhere
Upon tide
Of endless nowhere...
Drown the flame in my fucking heart
