Eluveitie Ànv 1. Emerge instrumental 2. Taranoías Behold! This is us Widowed and left behind Clutching at every straw Gasping for soothing hope Heaving the life support As we crave narcotic comfort Shrink-wrapped empty shells Deaf to the ring of our knells Craving distraction And refuge in delusion As greed and malice Have raised the chalice of the end Off into the light Of the starless night We waft away Borne by thunders diamantine Into the blaze Lifting the haze In front of our very self As the walls are coming closer And spirit drifts further The sworn divide is spreading on A sedated dream's come moribund Wrought inside the tide of time The dark light clandestine Carried by the eternal will Beyond descent or end When the awen's fallen silent And yearning for atonement Will a godless world quake Before the fires shall wake In ruin In pain In labour In awe Into the light The starless night We waft away Borne by thunders diamantine Into the blaze Lifting the haze In front of our very self Off into the light Of the starless night We waft away Borne by thunders diamantine Into the blaze Lifting the haze In front of our very self 3. The Prodigal Ones The stars no longer guide their flight Shadows dance where light once reigned Eyes that once revered the night Now forsake the radiant dreams once dreamt Whispers fade on ancient winds Tales once told now drift away Children lost in nightfall's dim Wander far from dawn's bright reign For we are broken Awoken at the demise of I The forsaken Children wandering astray Forgotten songs, the silent hands Echoes of the heart's demands As twilight calls, the dark expands Lost within forsaken lands Whispers fade on ancient winds Tales once told now drift away Children lost in nightfall's dim Wander far from dawn's bright reign For we are broken Awoken at the demise of I The forsaken Children wandering astray We are broken Blessed in the nameless eye The foretoken The return of the prodigal ones Rattling voices linger in the haze Erstwhile bright flames now dimmed and cold Souls stray through the darkened days Lost within the words untold The orphans of a desolate world disowned Broken Foretoken For we are broken Awoken at the demise of I The forsaken Children wandering astray We are broken Blessed by the nameless eye The foretoken The return of the prodigal ones 4.

Premonition Under a sulfurous firmament And bloodthirsty, the dead soil 'neath our feet The leaden clouds, a hundred jaws Snatching, mewling and drooling guts Quivering comes the welkin pale With bloodcurdling wails Of the woebegone and broken The bloodless cries of ghostly shades Dinning with rage As they loom against the horizon Side by side they appear Crippled and depraved Yet still so intimate and dear Wroth and grim Yet still so full of fear Father, mother, daughter and son Blood of my blood, hеart of my heart Have we not been onе? By grace now to be torn apart As the carnix roared twice and once more The sorrow hosts rage And gnashing of teeth As the lines clash face to face With the malicious fiend On the battleground, all alone Side by side they appear Crippled and depraved And shaking with fear Father, mother, daughter and son Blood of my blood, heart of my heart Have we not been one? By grace now to be torn apart Vissupe attepisas Ancus eðði trātu in medíei Sīrobivotūtos Vissupe attepisas Father, mother, daughter and son Blood of my blood, heart of my heart Have we not been one? By grace now to be torn apart Father, mother, daughter and son Blood of my blood, heart of my heart Have we not been one? By grace now to be torn apart Vissupe attepisas Ancus eðði trātu in medíei Sīrobivotūtos Vissupe attepisas Ancus eðði trātu in medíei I am all I am one I am none I am gone I am born I am torn I'm forlorn I am reborn 6. Awen As the clanking footfalls echo With the mirthless concrete walls Down the parting road The end to unfold Marching relentlessly As if to break free Towards the yawning void Beyond the dawning light For the end has come As time is gone Behold The path foretold When the time has come For the end undone Behold All the gold in the scale pan And the scheming of the damned Erasing gods exiled Paradise defiled Will I ever hear the awen sing In a cosmos filled with reverence Will I touch the soil in awe again And caress the whispering winds divine Will we pray the vivid orison Will we see the promised aeon When slaughter become history And the children of Anu unite 7. Anamcara Then will the earth tremble And all voices of the gods will be forced into silence The fruits of the earth will rot The soil will turn barren And the very air will sicken with sullen stagnation All good will disappear But when all this has befallen Then, the nameless, the creator of all things Will look on that which has come to pass And will stop the disorder by the counter-force of its will Which is the good, it will cleanse the world of evil Washing it away with floods Burning it out with the fiercest fire And expelling it with war and pestilence And thus it will bring back this earth to the former aspect So that the cosmos will once more be deemed worthy Of worship and wondering reverence A holy and awe-inspiring restoration of all nature And it is wrought inside of the process of time 8. The Harvest Shell-proof and safety locked The boxes round their heads Isolated and stored Ego-wired to the core In a frenzy the merry-go-round Of their monkey minds The optical delusion Of their consciousness grimed Depressing ignominies And godless mockeries They're dancing on the graves Of the ones they made slaves Voracious bloodbath Leaving life-mocking strands For the bowls of wrath Were found in their own hands All the pain and death and all the seeking and all the breaking, it has not been in vain For with every strike of the threshing flail, the harvest, it will end this bloody reign Their eyes turned away from heaven Underyoked and downtrodden By all things fucking hostile To the nature of the soul Leaving gutted scorched earth On their rapine damned For the bowls of wrath Were found in their own hands All the pain and death and all the seeking and all the breaking, it has not been in vain For with every strike of the threshing flail, the harvest, it will break these crushing chains Depressing ignominies And godless mockeries They're dancing on the graves Of the ones they made slaves Voracious bloodbath Leaving life-mocking strands For the bowls of wrath Were found in their own hands "Nothing will be left but graven words, and only the stones will tell of their piety" All the pain and death and all the seeking and all the breaking, it has not been in vain For with every strike of the threshing flail, the harvest, it will break these crushing chains All the silence and all the light and all the breath and death will soothe the haunting pain For with every blow of the reaping hook the harvest will end this fucking reign 9. Memories of Innocence instrumental 10. All Is One As the twilight falls In the nemeton The spell o' the knot flares up And through I shove Into the grove Soaring high above Casting off the veil That ghost light so pale I douse the blaring glare Deep into the dark On the winding path Leaving the clamor behind For all is one For one is lone The weaving hand Wields the endless knot For one is all Forevermore O' black night sun The sole one For all is one For all is one When the ravens cried The drab sundering veil Was torn in two and atwain Before my very eyes The vast arose The infinite awen was I For all is one For one is lone The weaving hand Wields the endless knot For one is all Forevermore O' black night sun The sole one For all is one For all is one For one is lone The weaving hand Wields the endless knot For one is all Forevermore O' black night sun The sole one For all is one 11. Aeon of the Crescent Moon Throughout utter darkening Eternal radiance echoes Anon snowdrops soon shall burgeon Erelong the cervine shall rise from slumber Behold the rebirth of the cosmos Recreation at the hands of the nameless The crescent moonshine Comes blazing its trail Through the darkness to decline To a limbonic sky so pale When the final golden sickle has been swung When the last mistletoe has been cut It who is one and lone and all Shall winnow and chaff at downfall Shattering halos, healing blind eyes The lithic words again shall rise The crescent moonshine Comes blazing its trail Through the darkness to decline To a limbonic sky so pale When the final golden sickle has been swung When the last mistletoe has been cut When two daggers have pierced the heart When the stones strike up again The aeon of the crescent moon will arise When the final golden sickle has been swung When the last mistletoe has been cut When two daggers have pierced the heart When the stones strike up again The aeon of the crescent moon will arise 12.
