To All the Wilds

Stand in awe before the carpet of beautiful patterns of land
Spread across the surface of earth
Admire creatures hunting under the sun
Lurking in the shadows, howling under the moon
Fear the untamed mankind ruling our only home
Unleash the beast, rip the fruit off the vine
Defeat the bounds, evade and demise
throughout the fast-flowing threads of time
Hunt the ignorant preys in the night
shine in the daylight, so divine
Whenever the end, we’re the ones to taste
the flavor of the last of each kind alive

See the signs in the sky
upon earth, upon your souls,
reflect in your eyes
My presence upon the earth
Fear not, my creations
I'm here to free you
The chosen bones of the past
resurrect on blessed grounds
The corrupt shall fall
from their sky high thrones of stone
Oh how we strive to be tall, to be all
On this day the final word will be said
as the sky shall roar, and the earth will shake
My will be in your visions, rooted in your dreams
My forgiveness will put your soaring heart at ease
The sun will shut it's light,
forever dark as night
The moon will bleed and cry
Too little innocence has survived

Rain Into the Hollow
06:06
|
|||
|
When the tide turns and the dust lays to rest
Remains of the days under the sun
Red skies, another flower dies
Call my name, forever rain
Distorted memories of the world we failed to save
lay before my bleeding eyes, while I remain
The ground beneath me cracks like spider veins
A gate into the hollow heart of a world we learnt to crave
Beneath the stones, a world we lost
beyond a marble gate, into the hollow
When the tide turns and the dust lays to rest
Remains of the days under the sun
Red skies, another flower dies
Call my name, forever rain
As time comes I’ll hold tight, unite my strength
Call my name I will not forsake
As the tide turns and the dust lays to rest
Remains of the days under the sun
Red skies, another flower dies
Call my name, forever rain
Forever rain, break that which seals the gate
Countless losses for the worldwide crowd to see
Intimidating, infuriating, contradicting theories
It’s time to stand before the gates and embrace
the gifts within the depths of the hollow and call for rain
Call for rain
into the hollow
When the tide turns and the dust lays to rest
Remains of the days under the sun
Red skies, another flower dies
Call my name, forever rain
As time comes I’ll hold tight, unite my strength
Call my name, I will not forsake
As the tide turns and the dust lays to rest
Remains of the days under the sun
Red skies, another flower dies
Call my name, forever rain

Skeleton of a Tree
05:31
|

|
Seasons ago, in a different time we met
A sky of blue, corn fields grew high, while we dreamt ahead
Young and innocent, with our time and blind eyes we paid
for the death of beauty beneath our comforting bed
As the grieving moon hides, we can now barely see
In endless winters, my heart keeps warm with you beside me
Nurturing the sacred garden we grew for our souls to breath
Together revive what used to be the skeleton of a tree
Look around us, tell me what do you see
Towers of stone blocking the sun and sea
Look around, tell me what do you see
I see gray, where colors once used to roam around me
You gave me a shoulder to dream on
Gifted me the last wild rose left in the concrete sea
You were my light and compass, through shadows, a reason to be
Together we watched the tree sprout and grow its first green leaves
Look around us, tell me what do you see
Towers of stone blocking the sun and sea
Look around, tell me what do you see
I see gray, where colors once roamed around me
We were home in a world that’s now a far memory

Into the dark, I fall in between the dreams
awakening all the mirror versions of me
chaotic silence pulls me away from sanity
As the sun sets, I’m left in darkness
and as the auburn leaves fall dead -
all I was, all I am, drained like them -
drifting off the tree of life
I seek for a light inside the lost mind that I forgot behind
I see her there, a clear and sharp self smiling back at me
As I walk through dark valleys of death, I shall not be afraid
I am awake and the world is brightest as it has ever been through my eyes
The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world
(free me of the twilight state - the vespertine)
To the dawn of new consciousness, I awake
Enlightened to a new world I embrace
Into the light I walk, across the dreams
I gather all the ghost versions of me
accompanied by the song of the Tree of Life
together they fade in peace for they shall be left behind
(left behind)

Passing Tales
03:50
|
|||
|
Beyond the sun that kisses the sea
on the horizon, far in the past
Bones of a traveler hold tales of his life
left to the people to pass his stories
carried by the wind
But tales spoken twist with time
The dreamer's mind formed stories
endless futures for him to cast
His journeys upon the land
engraved by song to them who he met and past
His soul still young as he sung upon green mountains
while his dreams became memories in a fairytale inside his mind
After the sun has greeted the sea
on the horizon, and day has passed
the people sing the tales of his journeys
For they shall pass his stories
carried by the wind
Tales sung withstand the test of time

Journeys Upon Great Gaia
06:53
|
|||
|
Guided by the legend, of life up on the hill,
walk the path unseen that for ages rested clear
Under the shield of Gaia, her armor made of ice,
embraced devoted beings to remain by her side
Under so many suns that since have risen in the sky,
nature's simple beauty - neglected, left to die
Gaia's armor weakened, unveiled the past before our eyes
Fueled with greed, a hypocrite breed
We - the successors to the end of time
Close our eyes, nature dies
We - the inhabitants of virtual lives
We unite in facing disasters carved by our hands and minds
Declining features of the face of the land
Defying harmony that preserves all we have
Awaken once the scales tip into our laps
Burning down our comforting guards
As they dive into ancient soil revealed by her tears
Her defenses melting into despair,
Betrayed by mankind who once honored her gifts
the lost settlement on the mountain unveiled
Trail never spoken of
Never been written of
Kept under shield of ice
Her secret reveals of an age buried back in time
Ours is but a moment in her existence
Open our eyes, Gaia fights
Us - the betrayers of natural life
We must cease to pave her demise in the name of progression
Before our eyes revealed, remains of life up on the hill,
walk the path beneath that for ages rested clear
Withhold your shield, dear Gaia, wipe your tears of ice
Before our eyes - your beauty, but if only we weren't so blind
