			Cinders (digital)

1. Cinders

Torn
Pulled from the void
Blackened the gift
Wrapped in the bloodied cloak
Lost
Awake in the dark
Shadows that move
Clawing the eyes can't see
Found
Hearing the voice
Louder now screams
Echoing endlessly
Caught
Thrown in a cage
Circled by drones
Ripping the flesh from me

Hope
Denied by cuts
Turning the blades
Shackled by destiny
Husks
Dripping with fear
Sensing the end
Tasting the suffering
Chance
Cast from the throne
Sand in the glass
Loss of the calling fuels
Rage
Vanishing time
Ticking away
Ignition certainty

Fuel for the pyre now

A blast to ignite, madness as a charge
A gasp in the dark, delirium waits
A flare to reveal, alighting the path
Fate falls, unmasked
A promise of hosts, now broken as ghosts
Departure betrayed, the godflesh now flayed
And in the wake, of heaven ablaze
May these cinders guide you

Bones
Holding their peace
Silence a curse
Secrets forever held
Heart
Beating at speed
Hearing it push
Feeling it strain against
Mind
Finally lost
Crumbling stones
Sanity rupturing
Feòil
Dèanta bho
Amadan agus
Losgadh e an grain seo

Ash
Cremated past
Fabric tears
Magma now runs through veins
Souls
Wreathed in the flame
Horrors released
Within these
Sacred walls
Fire
Calling the flames
Summoning strength
Primed now to
Burn out bright
Face
Desperate truth
Reach for the light
Know that this time has come

Put torch to pyre now

A blast to ignite, madness as a charge
A gasp in the dark, delirium waits
A flare to reveal, alighting the path
Fate falls, unmasked
A promise of hosts, now broken as ghosts
Departure betrayed, the godflesh now flayed
And in this last light, now drowned in the stars
May these cinders mark the end

But not yet

Through immolation, redemption

For all the stars I will not see
For all the faces that have passed
I will savour every second
As I watch it all collapse
No candle burnt out brighter
No darker tragedy
Now this doomed fate befalls us
Adrift in blackest sea
Immolation as a virtue
Inverting to ascend
In this race to destruction
May these cinders mark the end
