In Mourning
The Immortal
1. The Immortal
instrumental
2. Silver Crescent
Like a silver crescent
The rope will cut us by our flaws
We are fading under moon
By the ankles we fall
And after all that we have been through
We still don't know how to let go
The insecurity will burn
And tear like fire through our hands
Like witches, they will call out
And they will mark us by the brow
I never thought I'd lose your touch, you know
I'll wash your blood away
But it's pouring down like heavy rain
And I know it won't go away
No matter how far
We never can turn away
Like a flock of lonely birds
We soar above the burning trees
Set out to haunt the lands
Cast down
The night will catch us at our weakest
No matter how far we go
We still can not hide
3. Song of the Cranes
Listen to the song of the cranes
Watch them as they bow their heads
I was there, on the myriad of ways
And walked without you for a hundred days
My journey I owe to you
After all what we've been through
I've still got a lot of love for you
I have had it in my hands
I've been carrying it all along
I just didn't realize
I couldn't see it could all be wrong
Our pounding, torn and blackened heart
The wound that never seems to heal
Even if it's obvious
I have no answers why you're gone
What dwells in silver doesn't hide
I've given what I could
And maybe in this life
What dwells in silver doesn't hide
I've given what I could
And maybe in this life I've given all
I hear drumming in the distance
Snakes announcing their return
Only so much blood can flow
That water can wash away
What dwells in silver doesn't hide
I've given what I could
And maybe in this life
What dwells in silver doesn't hide
I've given what I could
And maybe in this life I've given all
I have had it in my hands
I've been carrying it all along
I just didn't realize
I couldn't see it
4. As Long as the Twilight Stays
I used to look up to the sky
To find a piece of calm
And I've been searching for that place
Still dabbling in belief
But I can't define
This sinister feeling
Why, this sinister feeling?
Look even further up ahead
All is coming down
And we will be past this too
On the wrong side of a second
Breathe and open your eyes
When darkness falls, a new dawn will rise
Reveal the secrets you keep
There is still hope as long as twilight stays
All in time
It won't be fine
But it will do
I've been searching for that place
In which I used to put my trust
5. The Sojourner
The flaming one, sojourning sun
She will return and melt the ice
The shifting sky will turn again
And we will mourn the passing grief
The roaring waves will wash away
Her ghastly grace still haunts this place
When ashes rest, a flame gone out
And then the smoke will cover all
Walk away and leave this ship
We’re never going to make this trip
If the tide will turn, we’re still too late
I see demise on the horizon
Here was the place where we got lost
Old wisdom gone
And we could have known
The sands of time would all run through our hands
The spiral that never ends
The red sky that still remains
A story told but never heard
Over and over again
6. Moonless Sky
So far away
Building a home
A place to stay
For my children
And theirs too
What makes us stay here
When it becomes so very dark
Not a single star to find
Going down to the ocean once again
7. Staghorn
I stand upon a daring height
These wounds will not stop bleeding
But these rivers will run dry
The salt will be diluted
And the earth as black as tar
On towards her own perdition
Treacherous and out of hand
My veins are filled with ice
Like dying wheat and broken thorn
Mother earth, become unborn
I see much clearer now
And further than before
You caught the weight of the world
And it will drag you down
Give me the strength to regrow
One year dead and one year gone
Beckoning green again
What has fallen will rise again
You stood faded, beaten and torn
In golden, bronze and copper foil
8. North Star
Can't catch your eye
Can't catch my breath
Stars unaligned
Our paths intertwined
In the dead of the night
The quivering light
The surface above
Still trying to find
A path undefined
In the dead of the night
All my nightmares with a devil by my side
Wandered waiting in the rain, I believed the bane
All the closed minds tried to save me, I was wrong
If we ever meet again, I will be strong
9. The Hounding
Your lingering presence so cold
The darkness reminds itself again
And I will shoot my arrows into the night
Some wolves will never stay to rest
They will run with the tainted winds
And I will wish for the fire to return
The ashes took it all away
And nothing can grow here anymore
Let me become the rust
And let me rest here in your arms for a while
I can see it in your eyes now
The fear is written all over your face
I can see right through you now
When the winter's gone away
All we left behind is a memory
And when the rivers run to oceans
The only roads that seem to carry
Are the ones we left behind
Marked with the blood from the golden vein
They will never stop to catch their breath
Run with the wolves into the night
I can see their figures in the mist
When you came walking through the fire
I knew that you were here to stay
I can see every shade in the flame
