Path of Ashes
16:15

Torrents of lifeless abandon
Bodies streaked with fear and ash
What was once a distant dream
Lost in endless throes of ruin
Old gods awaken, in fervor
And drink deep from, our wells of poison
in raging flood, and cleansing flame
What was once buried, erupts again
Demons denied, become inexorable!
In hope, we follow
the warmth of flame
Our grief, our burden
our will to remain
Within wildfire,
we walk, towards truth
In hope, we follow,
the path of ashes
Ancient visions of primordial flame
path of ashes
We are stillness after fire
We are buried under stone
We are the apex of ruin
And through ruin we will return
An ending
ever near
A call
To return

Primal Remembrance

Old ones!
Speak through me
Guide my feet along the true path
I will not live forever an orphan
In these cursed lands
When the last elder lies slain;
Lost children, hands smeared sanguine
Will wander landscapes of suffering
Piercing clouds of forgetting
I remember
Ancients dead and living
Your life is my own
Our voices align
in numinous song
The river flows free,
Lost wisdom returns
Old ones! Give me strength
My spirit nourished by your life
My body given for yours
The circle is honored
The dance is endless

Bright Power, Dark Peace
13:19

Cages of artifice
depthless black mirrors
Cannot contain me
There is a blue crystal fire
That burns brightly in me
Sickening delusions
endlessly reflected
Will no longer
draw me from the path
For I have seen
And I believe
(.......Wipe the dust from your eyes
You’ve seen too much
The bright light of sickly gods
Self inflicted spirit sickness
You have the pieces
Look within
You have the pieces
Look within..........)
That the the gods walk still
In the furthest woods
Where the truth of all things
Is laid bare
From the river of silence
I will draw forth song
From broken shards of meaning
I will be whole
