Hand Of Kalliach
Shade Beyond (demo)
1. Fàilte
Tharraing an cuan dlùth orm agus bha an guth soilleir
Fàilte gu òran dubh na cailleach
Placid once, awakened now
Malice in intent
Iron turns to stone once more
As old and frail lament
One last task awaits us still
Before the dying day
Cuidich mi mo charaid
Thoir dhomh do neart
Fiodh
Construct deliverance from sanctum
Iarann
Grind the earth into a blade
Ohr
Pulls the hearts from safer harbours
Sannt
Draws the fools to early graves
Oidhche
Give to us the veil of shadow on approach
Madainn
Light the way to ruined future torn asunder
Teine
Cleanse and sanctify the towers of the blind
Fuil
Feed the thirsting soil, turn the wheel anew
That silver stretched above
Mercury below
Its call brings bleaker times
Colour drained in snow
Whispers over horizons
Stir you from your sleep
The light that faded first
Is the last you keep
Fiodh
Construct deliverance from sanctum
Iarann
Grind the earth into a blade
Ohr
Pulls the hearts from safer harbours
Sannt
Draws the fools to early graves
Oidhche
Give to us the veil of shadow on approach
Madainn
Light the way to ruined future torn asunder
Teine
To the flesh and the sanctification of fortresses held by the blind
Fuil
As the wine to the soil below to drive out phantom dormant in mind
Hear echoes hollowed still
Rings once but screaming clear
That stone now ground to dust
As your shade beckons near
Wearied clocks trace eights
The grains lie still and blue
Glance not back at ash now
The stems will rise anew
2. Fathoms
Northmost point of a western shore,
horizon fades as the lights burn low,
Fire stays the teeth, as you watch it burn,
And cast off the stone that your mind has grown
Waters return
That single purpose
Colour fades
Left ashore
Currents pull you
Through shades of thought now
Gaze into the
Fathoms below
Down, deeper down, past obsidian rock,
The tide pulls harder, at sinew and bone,
Fire stay the fear, as you watch it burn
The waves rise to greet you, welcome you home
Waters return
That single purpose
Colour fades
Left ashore
Currents pull you
Through shades of thought now
Gaze into the
Fathoms below
Devour the doubt with fire anew
All paths have led to this moment
Now written in time
Captured eternal
And cast to the floors
Embrace the fire
Harness the fear
Stare through the abyss
Scream
Down, deeper down, freed from the bond
Fathoms rise up, grasping and cold
Memory ride past you down through the deep
Face the faceless, tear open the door
3. Overwhelm
Face to the earth, stare through the eyes
Wielding the stone, cut through the lies
Search for the source of the agony sent
Channel the frost of that winters lament
Overwhelm this mortal core
Draw from final form
One last breath and your
Cry becomes a storm
Smother the earth, dress it in white
Summer undone, the last fading light
Shatter the doubt with the touch of your hand
Spirit of winter now kneel where you stand
Overwhelm this mortal core
Draw from final form
One last breath and your
Cry becomes a storm
The futures that lie here
Below that tired space
Truth ensnared in stone
Answers ancient trace
Imprinted through the strands
Of past disaster wove
Fraying spectre fades
Pale upon the cold
Violent the sea, treachery deep
Awaken the hag, from darkest sleep
Grasp firm the handle of iron and bone
Imbue the stones with the memories torn
Overwhelm this mortal core
Draw from final form
One last breath and your
Cry becomes a storm
4. White Horizon
Close inside, earth pushes my hands
Fleeting void, the great expanse
Spins the disc
Falling, monolith turns tight
Silence
That gloried radiance of
Solar fire ignites above
Hold fast
To glittered stone or these
Silvered days will be
Undone
This creation, this new perception
Cursed to seek purpose, but never find
That twice warped vision, twists the edges
Undermined by response in kind
Returning now from lucid dream
To glimpse the shade beyond
The root torn from the deeper soil
That long since shattered bond
Nightfall blue, and starlight lost
Lunar white, eyes burn red
Ghosts scream out at these transgressions
Tearing into choice unsaid
Skin stretched and muscles worn
Time drags over, starlit tome
Light below, the voices hollow
Horizon calls to draw me home
This creation, this new perception
Cursed to seek purpose, but never find
That twice warped vision, twists the edges
Undermined by response in kind
Returning now from lucid dream
To glimpse the shade beyond
The root torn from the deeper soil
That long since shattered...
No
I will not go in silence
I will carve this promise
In fire
If there is a way I will find it
To return from white horizon
Awakened under ash
To witness this undone
This creation, this new perception
Cursed to seek purpose, but never find
That twice warped vision, twists the edges
Undermined by response in kind
Returning now from lucid dream
To glimpse the shade beyond
The root torn from the deeper soil
That long since shattered bond
It takes it's toll
Slips through the hand
Wears the pillar
Stones to sand
It takes it's toll
Slips through the hand
Wears the pillar
Stones to sand
The book of steel
The shattered bond
Beckons relentless
The truth beyond
The book of steel
The shattered bond
Beckons relentless
The truth beyond
5. In Tempest Wrought
Into the dusk light
Reflections in snow
That most crimson sky
Now mirrored below
The last wick falters
Those shades grow tall
That creeping chill
Fell ethereal call
The voices again
Carried far on the wind
Warnings to heed
Calls harsher squalls in
Tha I na seasamh
Air an uisge
Na gabh dargh
Tha an teine deiseil
Keep me
Closer
Let time wash
Over
Truth and
Illusion
Are one at
Horzion
Beckon
This tempest
Return and
With one breath
Cleanse this
Once more
Ignite that
Void core
Fade
Into the astral light below
Draw
The pull of waters rising
Breathe
Once more and reach the surface
Gaze
See reflections torn
Shards lose edges
The roots overgrown
The husk of the present
The fate of that sown
Defy the sands
Redraw the line
Recast the die
And reshape this time
Keep me
Closer
Let time wash
Over
Truth and
Illusion
Are one at
Horzion
Focus this mind
Rise hammer with storm
Cast regrets to forge
Resolution reborn
The time that's past
That endless knot
This future is
In tempest wrought
Through these waters and mists
Through tainted air and dust
These old machines encased
In centuries of rust
Undone the wreckage strewn
Unsung the vanquished dead
Deserved that bloodied halo
Hung over your head
This new decay
That must repeat the cycle
These murderous hands
That are never idle
The skyward phantoms
That fly from fathoms
Those last lost souls of
Innocence
Bite down hard
Slash cut and rip and tear
Taste this cold menace
Thick upon the air
Keep me
Closer
Let time wash
Over
Truth and
Illusion
Are one at
Horzion
Focus this mind
Rise hammer with storm
Cast regrets to forge
Resolution reborn
The time that's past
That endless knot
This future is
In tempest wrought
That flow defined
That ending cast
Take back in blood
That stolen past
The final strike
Old hammer rings
The edge reforged
And the voice still sings
Keep me
Closer
Let time wash
Over
Truth and
Illusion
Are one at
Horzion
Focus this mind
Rise hammer with storm
Cast regrets to forge
Resolution reborn
The time that's past
That endless knot
This future is
In tempest wrought
