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
