The Bleeding Veil

Seek refuge in the burning night It's not awake nor dwelling in slumber Shelter will come to those who persist The dawn will ride the darkest horse Where the waters run the deepest The flames will bury the highest Abandon the throne and crown the sky with burden The longest morning carries the night I am finally here Dressed in charcoal and ashes I close my eyes to darken the black Dressed in charcoal and ashes I pour my blood upon the empty throne The day is dead Destroyed by the night And with the dawning in sight I give to you In the darkest hour, before the dawn I close my eyes The longest morning carries the night I am finally here Dressed in charcoal and ashes I close my eyes to darken the black Dressed in charcoal and ashes I pour my blood upon the empty throne

Unending drapes, a veil between us Cannot be unseen It's getting dim but I can feel your scent All that is real is out of reach Your face is not what it used to be It has been marked by the shadows Your voice has lost its words All drowned in the silver rain You're still by my side But a thousand miles away I can still see you But you're out of reach Transcend through the silver at heart Bare your bones for thr starving eyes Reach now for a higher ground Or surrender to the silence Into the storm Where light takes form A bleeding veil Will divide the trail When the dust has settled Our eyes will clear again I lost you in the stampede Still everything remains

Standing in line on the limestone shore As the first sparks are thrown upon the hay Like lonely stars shooting through the night Onto our wooden homes where we reside Where we reside When the sun sets on the second day None will be left to lead the way The deeds of times that has gone by Will be carried by the wind Fading stars in shape of an arrow To the heart of the night Hanging by the frayed strands The night dwells in its burrows Condemned by the holy hands Our blood in the furrows May our torn bonds be stronger When we gather after the fire Summon the blood where you stand Harvest the new where you sow

You call and I answer Our song deflects all harmony We will meet on the other side I can see them now Like lights on the mire Make the final sacrifice Before the entrance of the night When the moon brings the shadows to life The webs must be untwined Misled by the lambent lights The trees around are unforgiving Swear your oath to the promised road And never waver from it The lights will dissolve like drops of blood in water And the truth will be spilled in a deadly dance The uncertainty will evaporate To reveal the crystalline path The hesitation will thicken the fog Just for a moment and all will be gone All that is left is the flickering trail The dawn is not the end

I thought salvation was waiting Beyond the mountains, beyond the dawn My inner shadows were carried by your grace A golden thorn upon your brow When I gaze upon the sky The light reminds me of you And as I close my eyes You remain in my sight Like mercenaries of the night Bound by blood, gathered for the reckoning Strung together by passion Avoiding the light at every cost We would search for the fire in our hearts And we would reach for the stars Our tale will be told And all the truths will unfold We were the lightnings above On the thundering sky And we would reach for the stars We would reach for the fire The rain will wash away the trail And seal away the fire within the stone But wher the stone will meet the ground The end will mark a new beginning
