In Mourning
The Bleeding Veil
1. Sovereign
Seek refuge in the burning night
It's not awake nor dwelling in slumber
Shelter will come to those who persist
The dawn will ride the darkest horse
Where the waters run the deepest
The flames will bury the highest
Abandon the throne and crown the sky with burden
The longest morning carries the night
I am finally here
Dressed in charcoal and ashes
I close my eyes to darken the black
Dressed in charcoal and ashes
I pour my blood upon the empty throne
The day is dead
Destroyed by the night
And with the dawning in sight
I give to you
In the darkest hour, before the dawn
I close my eyes
The longest morning carries the night
I am finally here
Dressed in charcoal and ashes
I close my eyes to darken the black
Dressed in charcoal and ashes
I pour my blood upon the empty throne
2. At the Behest of Night
At night we bathe in worry and unrest
Our fury kept by the silent wall
With cloven hoof and lightning tongue
The forbidden slithers here, in these halls
The rivers of night run through the gardens
Like ravaging horses cut from their shackles
Their presence feeds from temptation
The unclean has no blood on his hands
Pristine in fur and ivory horn
Are we lead onto his mighty blade
Or do we choose to bleed upon it
Can you hear it call
Surrender to the night
Lead by guilt and desire
Temptation will be your fall
Beneath the veil
Wallowing decadence
With solemn power
Spraying like blood on our faces
Cleansing our hearts from their burdens
A sense of desire will lead us astray
Your eye like a mirror
Devoid of untrue colors
Can you hear it call
Surrender to the night
Lead by guilt and desire
Temptation will be your fall
3. Solitude and Silence
Unending drapes, a veil between us
Cannot be unseen
It's getting dim but I can feel your scent
All that is real is out of reach
Your face is not what it used to be
It has been marked by the shadows
Your voice has lost its words
All drowned in the silver rain
You're still by my side
But a thousand miles away
I can still see you
But you're out of reach
Transcend through the silver at heart
Bare your bones for thr starving eyes
Reach now for a higher ground
Or surrender to the silence
Into the storm
Where light takes form
A bleeding veil
Will divide the trail
When the dust has settled
Our eyes will clear again
I lost you in the stampede
Still everything remains
4. Thornwalker
Tread careful
The shards are sharp and vengeful
The venom has coursed through generations
Lustrous at a glance, in patterns of wrath
It's not burning
My crown is not of fire
It's the weight that I must carry
The faith that I will bury
It not burning
My crown is not of fire
It's the weight that I must carry
The faith that I will bury
Clear the path for the silent choir
Gather now in circles of fire
Pierce the throats of those who sing
Silence will bare your wings
The tar wood flame
The trembling night
Shrouded love
Sacred bond
Thorn walker
Thorn walker
Endless seems the scorching ring
Let the crowd watch the offering
Don't let the silence be in vain
It's not burning
My crown is not of fire
It's the weight that I must carry
The faith that I will bury
Clear the path for the silent choir
Gather now in circles of fire
Pierce the throats of those who sing
Silence will bare your wings
5. Blood in the Furrows
Standing in line on the limestone shore
As the first sparks are thrown upon the hay
Like lonely stars shooting through the night
Onto our wooden homes where we reside
Where we reside
When the sun sets on the second day
None will be left to lead the way
The deeds of times that has gone by
Will be carried by the wind
Fading stars in shape of an arrow
To the heart of the night
Hanging by the frayed strands
The night dwells in its burrows
Condemned by the holy hands
Our blood in the furrows
May our torn bonds be stronger
When we gather after the fire
Summon the blood where you stand
Harvest the new where you sow
6. Lights on the Mire
You call and I answer
Our song deflects all harmony
We will meet on the other side
I can see them now
Like lights on the mire
Make the final sacrifice
Before the entrance of the night
When the moon brings the shadows to life
The webs must be untwined
Misled by the lambent lights
The trees around are unforgiving
Swear your oath to the promised road
And never waver from it
The lights will dissolve like drops of blood in water
And the truth will be spilled in a deadly dance
The uncertainty will evaporate
To reveal the crystalline path
The hesitation will thicken the fog
Just for a moment and all will be gone
All that is left is the flickering trail
The dawn is not the end
7. Beyond Thunder
I thought salvation was waiting
Beyond the mountains, beyond the dawn
My inner shadows were carried by your grace
A golden thorn upon your brow
When I gaze upon the sky
The light reminds me of you
And as I close my eyes
You remain in my sight
Like mercenaries of the night
Bound by blood, gathered for the reckoning
Strung together by passion
Avoiding the light at every cost
We would search for the fire in our hearts
And we would reach for the stars
Our tale will be told
And all the truths will unfold
We were the lightnings above
On the thundering sky
And we would reach for the stars
We would reach for the fire
The rain will wash away the trail
And seal away the fire within the stone
But wher the stone will meet the ground
The end will mark a new beginning
