A Dawn to Fear
1. The Silent Man
Silence came crawling.
There is a man at the door.
In the absence of light, we merge with our shadows.
Rise and ride my friend. Together we’ll bring on the end.
The water seems darker.
A scent of fear is in the air.
Eyes in every corner. Movements everywhere.
Heavy is the burden
Clouds roll in to rectify
Step by step we falter and all good things must die.
The door can’t withstand his voice.
With heavy strides he enter.
Deliverance at last. He speaks words from the dead.
“In dreams I see what is coming. Wolves in man’s clothing.
There is no escape for the meek. The ground beneath them is eroding.”
2. Lay Your Head to Rest
When sleep is your only refuge.
When shed tears are gone.
Lay your head to rest beside me.
When you are falling.
When ghosts chant your name.
Lay your head to rest and follow.
Let's set out for the horizon.
Let's chase the sunrise.
We are the stars that light up the sky.
And as I burn out you will carry me as I carried you.
When I lay my head to rest.
3. A Dawn to Fear
A dawn to fear
Feet so cold and heavy
The rift divides
Separates light from dark
A dawn to fear
Fists raised in defiance
The morning breaks
Callous like a wave
A dawn to fear
Clouds dissolve
To spite the end
To give praise
We are all her kin
The skyline marks a border
To what never will return
Rage keeps the fire burning
The blood seals our bound
A dawn to fear
Cling on to the night
A dawn to fear
A dawn to fear
Cling on to the night
A dawn to fear
A dawn to fear
A dawn to fear
4. Nightwalkers
There is a fire in your voice
There is a fire
There is a fire in your voice
There is a fire
The river of light is running dry
Eyes are burning
Deceiving the heart
I hear howls from the northern dogs
There is a fire in their voices
Crowned in colours of fall
And the setting sun in her hand
I see children run towards dying light
There is a fire in her voice
Dusk sets a tone
Reminds us of what is to come
This night is a window
We offer our admission and return home
Dusk sets a tone
Reminds us of what is to come
This night is a window
We offer our admission and return home
There is a fire in my voice
There is a fire
There is a fire in my voice
There is a fire
5. Lights on the Hill
This land owns him
It speaks through his bones
Deeper cuts than any man could endure
Time is not his ally
Like water hollows out stone
Anger sparks the will to see the world burn
A pariah with a heavy heart
His vision is long gone
An outcast doomed to wander alone
Under a pine his rage dances on
From afar, just a light on the hill
Until his hate rains down on them
An answer summoned from all his might
Balls of fire and lightning that strikes
Death cannot break their bond
6. We Feel the End
Break, break‚ break
We break the silence with our heartbeats
With our heartbeats
Sleep‚ sleep‚ sleep
Our eyes are shut, my hands are shaking
Bodies aching
We are
We are trying
We are
We are trying
Wake, wake‚ wake
As waves of fear come crashing down
All around us
Breathe, breathe, breathe
We feel the end is getting near
We are still here
We are
We are trying
We are
We are trying
7. Inland Rain
Black roots run through me like veins
Igniting fires
Delivering life
The night brings time to an end
Silence changes form
I return
At last words will be spoken with heart
In air they form the thoughts that they carry
Eyes of the forest
Stakes driven through frost
Stones are laid out
A circle for those who lost
My children will work this land
With devout hands
With harshness of mind
Stones are laid out
Stones are laid out
Here comes the rain
The falling sky
The hidden road
The direction home
8. The Fall
Rise from your grave
Bow to her name
Every single word she speaks is golden
One drop of all nights I have wandered
Could fill your empty void
Close that shallow gap
The pain is a rebirth
Leave your empty skin to rot
Long have you waited
The steps behind you decay into nothing
At the edge of your memory
A being that ceased to be
Rise from your grave
Bow to her name
At the edge of your memory
A being that ceased to be
Rise from your grave
Bow to her name
In the fall came the rain
Flooded the fields
Cleansed what remained
With new eyes she appears
But I am no longer here
