Shrivelling Lights

One ear to the ground<br/> One eye on your grave<br/> I’ve prayed for a sign<br/> So many times<br/> <br/> I have cursed the wind that howls<br/> Your evergreen lullaby<br/> How dare you sleep while I am damned<br/> To wander in this endless night?<br/> While the grave of all light<br/> Grows inside of me<br/> How dare you sleep?<br/> <br/> I have cursed you,<br/> Bleak shadow of the moon<br/> Bleak silhouette of gloom<br/> Lure of memory<br/> Furrows in wood and stone<br/> The scornful stare, a knife<br/> Of hope in my back<br/> <br/> Nothing left to lose<br/> As nothing will ever stop this nightmare<br/> From awakening<br/> Yet, how sweet their ruin tastes<br/> In all this bitterness<br/> <br/> The trees whisper ancient spells,<br/> Have they cursed me now? Oh, how heavy<br/> Our loneliness weighs on the valley,<br/> <br/> Don’t tell me<br/> You know my anguish<br/> Cruel cause of my madness<br/> Abandoning me<br/> Even now betraying me<br/> On the edge of the world<br/> On the edge of the fog<br/> <br/> I have cursed the wind that howls<br/> Your evergreen lullaby<br/> How dare you sleep while I am damned<br/> To wander in this endless night?<br/> While the grave of the only light<br/> Grows inside of me<br/> How dare you sleep?<br/> <br/> One ear to the ground<br/> One eye on your grave<br/> I’ve prayed for a sign<br/> But again was betrayed

Feels like the world is gone<br/> Warning signs not to look back<br/> The old town is gone<br/> Burns away like hope<br/> <br/> Here you go<br/> Following lost souls,<br/> Don’t you remember<br/> Who you were before?<br/> <br/> Leaving behind<br/> Yellow lights<br/> Again, a victim to<br/> The black mood of the moon<br/> Once again, witnessing<br/> A vision breaking, inside<br/> the mirror of his grief<br/> <br/> Gone too far this time<br/> Kissing the ground beneath their feet<br/> Forgiving the field and all its creatures<br/> But not his deterrent face<br/> Waiting for love<br/> Embodying all<br/> He is too proud to beg for<br/> <br/> Feels like the world is gone<br/> - forever lost -<br/> The old town is gone<br/> Burns away like hope<br/> <br/> Here you go<br/> - Abandoned one -<br/> Don’t you remember<br/> Who you were before they let you down?<br/> <br/> I am standing frozen<br/> I can see the body I bear<br/> Beside me - a blurred silhouette<br/> Of a small voice painting the hill<br/> I dive into the water<br/> <br/> Where silent waves burn like winter<br/> In my hands<br/> Trying to remember<br/> <br/> How it was to breathe the sky<br/> Chasing clouds and smoke<br/> Of a dream<br/> Of company by the lake

Ashen and grave<br/> My grief turns to rage<br/> It tears at my limbs<br/> And smothers my mind<br/> <br/> Commands my frantic heart<br/> To sing in blasphemy<br/> All that is left for me<br/> <br/> You never understood me<br/> You never understood why<br/> But the sky never derided you<br/> And you weren’t raised by the flames<br/> <br/> And have you ever dared to look down?<br/> Heard your name in the mouth of the chasm?<br/> Thought that below there could be hope<br/> For endlessly I have searched these grounds<br/> And all I’ve ever found was that something’s missing<br/> <br/> So, I’ve trained my eyes to see<br/> Through the veil of rising smoke<br/> I’ve learned the language of the damned<br/> Who whisper in the night<br/> <br/> Oh, can’t you hear? They’re calling me<br/> <br/> I feel there’s something I can yet give to this world<br/> As an ancient power awakens inside of me<br/> A scorching hunger, that sets my soul ablaze<br/> <br/> A languish for pain and death<br/> In the shadow of the flames<br/> I was crowned their master<br/> <br/> You say you don’t understand<br/> But you weren’t raised falling down<br/> Held up only by the taste of power<br/> Call me devil then<br/> <br/> Harbinger of despair<br/> But I never built this world of suffering<br/> I played but by the rules<br/> to make it burn brighter

Sounds of laughter in the air<br/> Passing as I choose my path<br/> I've been doing awful things again<br/> But I am over their pitiful stares<br/> <br/> I went out into the fog looking for solitude<br/> Then there you stood, like a mirage,<br/> A demon from an old hell<br/> Staring with burning eyes<br/> Unable to hurt me on my side<br/> <br/> (Chorus)<br/> Now you dwell in shadows<br/> Darker than my own<br/> Clinging to the hand of the cold<br/> The dead child of your shallow dream<br/> <br/> You chose this path<br/> You chose your pain<br/> I chose to give to you no more<br/> But I am not one to run away<br/> Yes, I’m still lonesome<br/> – but hardly as poor as you<br/> <br/> And here I am<br/> Still keeping you alive<br/> <br/> In my dreams I watch you<br/> Writhing - as I release you<br/> Over again - plunging the tenth<br/> Sword into your back<br/> <br/> I watch you dreaming,<br/> Lying there so peaceful, so quiet<br/> <br/> Lying in the dawn -<br/> Blending dream and truth -<br/> No, you couldn’t die<br/> When at night I still stoke your hand<br/> <br/> Piece of the broken things<br/> On an altar beside my bed<br/> Your shadow<br/> My lunacy<br/> <br/> Now you dwell in shadows<br/> Darker than my own<br/> Clinging to the hand of the cold<br/> The dead child of your shallow dream<br/> <br/> You chose this path<br/> You chose your pain<br/> I choose to give to you no more<br/> But I am not one to run away<br/> Yes, I’m still lonesome<br/> – but hardly as forlorn as you

The icicles soften,<br/> Still the lake holds its breath<br/> There are eyes and no eyes<br/> Where eyes should be<br/> <br/> A creature lies shrouded<br/> By a once white gown –<br/> Something has torn it apart,<br/> Something has eaten its heart<br/> <br/> My feet follow the circle<br/> Of stillness someone has planted<br/> Around the broken limbs –<br/> The bricks of the home of a swan<br/> <br/> I try to find my balance<br/> On the world blade's edge<br/> Between awe and horror –<br/> I am afraid it is tilting too fast<br/> <br/> With every step more warmth<br/> Seeps down my feet<br/> And I don’t recall the stiffness<br/> In my once white bones<br/> <br/> There are more hands<br/> In the woods now than birds –<br/> All crawling the ground, lurking<br/> For entrails to eat.<br/> <br/> The dusk swells like a prophecy<br/> Time has fled to the treetops<br/> - a looming, growling weight.<br/> I wait long hours –<br/> Yet the smell of blood won’t melt.
