Before The Rain Frail 1. And The World Ends There Horizon is dyed in red And the world ends there In the void ghosts swarm by And we utter them goodbye Thunders in the twilight, bring forth despair In turbulent spirals, birds will fly astray At the end of the day, life will cease to be Grief turns hollow, over the blooded sea I will pass unknown, in the white foamed shoals I crave for the thunderous glow For the mist and the falling snow Bring forth the fiery streams A spectrum of lightshed gleams Find me in the depths of woe Grief turns to hollow Taken far on black wings They will pass alone Vagrantly migrating A ghost-like wandering On to sunken shores Do you reckon this As the end of all things? When seamless fading weaves And fractured pieces sway Do you reckon this As the closure of days? The world is reshaping Reshaping, and coming to an end Bring forth the fiery streams A spectrum of lightshed gleams And find me... find me In a fire of endless grow And sear me with frostbite breeze In the throes of artemis The world is re-shaping and coming to an end The world is coming to an end 2. Shards My light is pale... devoid of color Shards trespass, my heart Reason abandons all And i'm anchored, beneath this sea of regret Your never ending sea No radiance, nor the blossom of nature My dead desert, my heart I have gathered winds I have yearned for despair But i am nothing Nothing but flesh Landscapes burn, where rain falls not Frail, so frail Let us linger Where ashes fade away Come on, in here, and see me turn to stone I have gathered winds I have yearned for despair I am nothing... nothing but shards Shards of stone Let me lay alone, in my desert abode Alone... My heart has turned to stone Let us linger, where ashes fade Com on in here, and see me turn to stone I have gathered winds I yearn for despair I am nothing... nothing but shards Shards of stone Let me lay alone, in my desert abode Alone My heart turned to stone Alone My breath is stale, devoid of life Shards trespass my heart Reason forsakes us all, and i am anchored Beneath this sea of regret Your never-ending sea... 3. Breaking The Waves Your smile, a postcard of flesh Given to feed, in a turmoil of hunger A crowd of giants, galloping the waves Surfacing, to breathe the sky A crowd, of giants... of giants My bravest moment is gone. it's gone Now, when the ravenous beckon My voice, no longer solemn A fading echo... just a fading echo Breaking, timeless waves And the constant weight of seclusion And storms, of passing emotions Lead to sullen despair These somber tides lead nowhere Nowhere, but to the black shores of doom My voice no longer solemn No longer, just a fading echo Your smile, is strained from all the flesh Driven and seared, in a turmoil of hunger No longer giants, galloping the waves Struggling, to reach the sky But the summit is never near Write me a short epitaph Memoirs to my demise Frail, with a roseate hue Sail underneath my skin Sail me across black waters My severed pride, against the tide And the song went dead when i ran out of breath Where martyrs vainly dream Where the gloom is weaving Vigilant; an ever-lasting witness And the summit it is never near... 4. A Glimpse Towards The Sun At the edge of the sea A glimpse towards the sun I embrace the warmth And all is revealed But i forgot my name A memory, that it's not there A sun, i would not dare. to touch Coming closer, onto you Crossing storms and clouds for you Towards the sun All we be forgiven, all will be lost This stream of bleak emotions Pours weakness within my blood I crave for the grandeur For the shining beauty Fury, consuming fury Fire, cleansing fire Take me astray Away from the earth Free from the chains of flesh Made of stars and light In the wings Of prosper and shine... Of nothing I will prosper and shine... I am the breath of life I am the bringer of joy I am the sun 5. Frail Still is the time Like i won't remember this day Cleansed is my mind All seems null inside I want them to... Forgive me, for not knowing Bestow me safe shelter Before me there was nothing This skin underneath my nails I've always wondered where it came from But my memory... it's not what it used to be I can only gather small pieces Like clouds of black fumes Cutting through me, piercing deep Like obsidian blades, soft and dense A drowning stasis, which i hold so dear It's a waking dream, unlikely plausible But at this moment it's all i can grasp Still, something feels shattered Consuming itself to a point of irreversible fragility My skin, my bones, my nerves and my soul... So frail A mountain made of glass And overlaying curtains From this cathartic slumber I will never wake So frail In a seismic rapture Now motionless In the rest of my dreams I was betrayed There is dust in my eyes And it lingers still While my body turns to sand It's a moment of clarity When all comes together Making perfect sense That couldn't be me... i was never there I was never here 6. Peace Is Absent And when the shelter burns And the beacon light Turns as black as night Where is peace now? Where is peace... no When i want what i want And you want what you want Where is peace now?
