Elder
Album • 2017
Born into the world without knowing Whispering for life He who wears the crimson shroud Hollow, lifeless and divine Deception is the book of faith Silence is the only embrace We walk the land without a choice Screaming as though we have a voice Sanctuary

Running through the fields Down the ones you think you need Throwing off the chains, cursing years in vain Living in a myth, the boundaries of which lie in decay The body seeks to convalesce The earth we deem it's own redress Residuum amongst the stars Fortuned sons of fractal eyes Lay down the tools of war and gold To die and metamorphosize As we walk the path it fades Disengage and ties become unwound Don't resist the grain, set fire the ground

Grasping at the edge Somewhere on the other side Tending the sleeping ground Clutching to the knife Slipping out of day Machinery drowning out Fortress inner world Staving off the doubt Wrestling memories Hold the past in broken arms Shards cut to the quick Before the cruciform Morning star is the dawn Cast the shadow of the cross Grasping in the dark For answers to the loss Are we waiting just to leave? Is there an answer which eludes? We stand upon a floating world Simply staving off the truth

Grasping only as it fades The simple truth we lost As hours turned to days And in the afterglow it seemed The wishing well is full Of worthless currency Condemned to watch the whole charade The monuments of man fall into decay The promise, grand in golden script The night in all it's gray and sorrow dispossess A mirror to the other side We are only blind Their teeth can only gnash your eyes If you let them smile They see their will in the eyes of the broken And raise a glass in the din of the fray We're only staring down the face of the olden Scorching Earth at the dying of days

This track is instrumental.
There stands an alabaster throne Carved into halls where no light has shown Reign of years before all time Beyond the reach of celestial eyes When the past has come to bear The fruits of seeds we've sewn in spite Who carries blame for our despair? A thousand hands beyond the light From the past is nothing won Hail glory to the victors They will crush us just the same
