An Early Cascade
EP • 2008
Bowed down with our faces to the ground we stand on a tower Thy children, waiting for the rain Oh god, send us storm and thunder To wash away all that we have created! "Wake up, Rachel awake! We gotta use the boat tonight!" A world that bathes in mercy But a generation whose wrath is endless. Call it a day! Ocean saturated. Trail created. Light given. Night is born The captain shouts: "Anchors aweigh!" Watch the waves crashing over the hills. Now run far Before the water fills your lungs "Wake up, Rachel awake! We gotta use the boat tonight!"

Come down from your horse and run because The devil has taken possession of it Delusion is charming. seduction is near We walk along roads of beauty that are already withered And swim in seas of love that have already run dry Delusion is charming. seduction is near We seem to be hunting ghosts that bear our own names Can we calm those who were born aflame? calm ourselves Calm the demons that are the branches overgrowing our hearts Regain!

A flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way up to the hilltop The guileful: "Afraid? You won't surely die This is my promise in conjunction with a pact between you and I." Addicted to false words, darkness casts a cloud over the country What have you done!? Traitor! The river begins to flood the city with dirt and bricks carried away from the ground And now that the springs of the deep seem to be endless The floodgates will never bear up against the masses He sways the crowd by chaos. Cold-hearted! May all those tempted be forgiven...

Cover yourself in the night, because tonight is our final flush Can you feel it? The blood that is pulsating in our fingers What is love? What means affection? If death brings redemption, then take my heart Oh, what temporary life is ours on this earth? Oh, and what an endless grace that we enjoy so ordinary? Our names are advices to our boundless lusts Swim and you will drown to the ground of the great sea You defiers! May I have your attention? Save yourself! I have no appreciation!

Belie! To your will my queen. I bend your mercy Oh busy worker don't weaken. Swarm! Sweet harm Sing a song of fortune and brave it So march you followers. All over the place! With no regret! Watch out for the siren to resound! Look around. Cause this is the place we're all gonna fall They stand so tall on the tribune. Nicely dressed, but grey skin We scream: "Our clothes are careworn and blood-soaked." But no one cares in this profit-draining generation! All applaud and say: "Well done!" Take my blood and carry it to the world. Just surrender!

Prickles falling from the world's crown in skies created by treachery World! Where are your weapons? Where is your bravery? It is the unstoppable thunder, unerring like shots of the archer O' my god! Wolves are wandering about the land They were ever dead, undying. Stop and shiver! Oh beautiful world, where has your glimmer gone? Where is your pride? Apocalypse now!

Am I meant to be a sinner or testifies it just of betrayal To hang pictures on the wall of my own blood drawn history? Crowded! Surrounded! The judgement day! Ghosts never sleep. They're hiding in shivered glass to wait for the dead Now gutting warmth of a cut drags me along dead water I feel like... 10 years icebound, floating like the fog over a ghost city Nowhere. Anywhere. But none else there Can't you hear it growl over the rail yard? Be quiet... They are arriving in chariots! Riding doomed horses of fire! I'm begging on my knees for an act of grace, but the term exceeded!
