Blackout Whiteout

In sickness and health they said Yet all that one can perceive Is a domain of death and disease Flies and dust Think quick on your feet Tread the treacherous trails Ridden with fox holes Filled with vacant eyes All houses are empty And from the holes as branches Rigid fingers reach out They point at nothingness We brought it all down The fires and ashes From green to black and brown Here lies no catharsis

Is there a way To start over Is there a way out We're short of breath Feet lagging behind Leave me here I haven't the strength to go on Leave me here I am content to stay Is there a way To start over Is there a way out I turn around Snow has covered our tracks

From summer's end We walk towards winter Shadows entwined Fleeting moments passing by By dawn we were ended Yet there was beauty to be found The warmth still lingered And the gentle snow that made no sound Do not grieve, my friend For each beginning there must be an end Do not grieve, my friend And while there are things to be buried deep For each beginning there must be an end We'll meet again beyond the realms of sleep Thrice the moon's full bloom Yet only twice the eventide One night to set alight Another to let the fire die Yet the embers remain

The end of this eclipse The dusk of the last day Is not one of closure No solace can be found here No answers are laid bare No truths are spoken The start of this eclipse The dawn of the first day Is not one of closure No solace can be found here Here night prevails And the day holds no stead No answers are laid bare No truths are spoken So kill the lights Draw down all curtains Smother the dying fire And maybe you will see

Here I stand alone Firm I face the dark Moon's gaze upon my shoulders The breath of winter on my skin Your warmth still carries on A candle against the cold And time, place and distance Have lost their hold What if we could share the stars The earth that bears our weight What if we could share the sun The sky, the wind and the sea

I lose myself here And become one With all that I am About to be The words will not come They are buried under the mountains Lost deep in the ocean Scattered in the wind I lose myself here And become none Leave behind the one I used to be Lose yourself here now And the words will be found Washed to the shore by the storms Brought down by torrents cold We stole the fire To keep away the cold Our hands got burned Yet we kept our hold

I am weary of this Weary of every little thing Keepsakes held dear Havens that burned So I tear loose this skin Tainted with affection Plagued with compassion Scarred by hope And I shall become your eyes Your ears, your skin and mouth And it's through me that you'll speak Words that bear no meaning Beneath our feet The ice keeps melting The waters run black The earth, a corpse's putrid skin Lesions carved deep Ground down to roots now So lay down all that remains To where sensation goes to die

Cursed be our mother the Earth The harlot would breed no more She took the seed oh many a time Perfected by her firstborn son We kept her on a leash of thorns Made obedient with the sternest of bonds Cursed be our mother the Earth Her veins have run dry Her loins, now barren, ridden of life Her breast has long since withered away We kept her on a leash of thorns Made obedient with the sternest of bonds Yet ever weaker has the bloodline grown And ill spent the seed She kept her silence all these years Until the end

Let your voice out We've been silent too long An ode of one forsaken For another one to hear We tread with graceful grace All paths shrouded in haze Lead by promise of unknown Did we lose our way Oh did we Come and break the silence Hear an echo resound aloud Reach out your voice for a melody Hear it beckoning, reaching out for you We have lost our silence now Have we lost our way as well There are truths one can find Confined beyond senses Truths eyes cannot perceive Truths for ears unheard of Are we too far gone Too strayed from the path Guided away by promises Lost and astray Gone to nothingness We are too far gone Too strayed from the path Guided away by promises Lost and astray Gone to nothingness
