Stygian Bough, Volume I
Bleed Heaven torn low then thrown in the fire Reave Weap of the woe to mirror the ire Eve Joining the foe as ash in the pyre Deceive Heaven torn low then thrown in the fire... Wake as the shattered flow Further than far to go What was above when they held you below Are they to know Cull for a quickening Horizon is found on wing Would it be shear where the living still cling Are they to show Hold of the handle fray ...prey... Crumble of silt betray Fingers that claw at the last of decay ...in mirrors... Backwards the fall with gleam The last of the blurs of screams Would lift you as felled beyond nothing it seems So now that it all seems clear Away from the far and near We'll orbit the climb beyond circling fear And if I could hold this sphere And vanquish all once held dear I wouldn't remain to deceive or deny I wouldn't hold pain in embrace with a lie So wouldn't disdain fall away with the sky Secrets you know But barely can hold ...through mirrors you fray... Fell from below ...all of the way... With you in tow A lesson to learn will pale in the shade that was ever to grow Where seven will spurn this tale that the sixes in triumph will know So here is a sphere where a tomb and a throne are left cold and alone And if they unseen are to burn would their meaning ever have been known So shatter the mighty of sword for you are still are to end in the cold A desolate moon wouldn't now shed a tear for the lives that you sold So here is atonement and here never read what the epitaph told And I wouldn't know your name unless you had since shattered the mold I wouldn't know your name unless you were the blackest of souls You wouldn't call my name unless I was passage and toll

This track is instrumental.
You rise as shadow, seek to avail These lies of marrow that fray on the nail Leave nothing to defy ...avail...a veil... So fry the gallows and sever the tale Liquified sphere rising to moon Where the sun once beat down Upon the deadest of eyes And bloodless of ties Demise has cast its eye From fields where pained the fallen stained the deathless sky Where drawn to peak now torn From cradled land a void in hand from this demand For nigh will draw you high From mountain rest the blackest crest on stellar nest Should eyes return to lies They'd fall rain upon the slain that hold no blame To fall like rain upon the slain that hold no blame... For broken and dismayed the rivers rise Cast ashore to where the balance has decayed For delay will only stoke the lies For broken will evade the bloody reach of time If to pour beyond the distance where the frayed To delay the burden and the crime For broken and betrayed now cast the die As the tumble falls beyond the shattered cry Now to lie in scattering divide For broken now the stayed are last to tow the line To beyond the burning the valleys where the eye To defy, will only see the sky
