Monolith
03:44
|
|||
A new day has dawned
at the end of my time.
Voyagers from lands I’ve yet to know.
A world with no sun they appear to come from darkness.
Flesh and blood stand before me as well as riches from the other world.
A mutual exchange will aid our future generations.
As we welcome them to these lands
powerful weapons will defend us
from threats while we provide skins for their industry.
A new day has dawned
at the end of my time.
Devastation looming in the masses
of this beacon of hope and strength.

Next of Kin
03:40
|
|||
Blood dripping down my face.
War cries from a mother’s young son.
The eldest of seven he leads his men to battle.
Laying on my back I feel myself floating on top of the dirt.
Sounds of fire. Smells of gunpowder.
My vision feels distant as my other senses
are overwhelmed by this experience.
Sounds of men crying in pain,
they carry out a final push before exiting to the unknown.

The Woven Stone
05:01
|
|||
Greed in a sinister form.
A race for riches in the virgin soil.
That of which shimmers in naked sunlight.
Demands to vacate from this land.
From which we’ve called home for so long.
Demands to vacate from this land.
Digging for the stone only to be washed in our blood.
Man’s thirst for gold soaked in sin.
Selfish demands fueled by the dark spirit.
A fight for our rights, we’ve accepted your traditions.
Do us the favor; let us keep our home.
Your lust for riches is a hollow empty chasm.

Into Exile
04:13
|
|||
Awakened from the screams of a young child.
A prisoner in my own home,
dictated to leave my post with little more than the clothes on my back.
With a heavy heart I pray for the elders who suffered so early into the journey.
Their eyes speak of a thousand sorrows.
A disappointment of what has become of this clan.
Relinquish the life that was given to them so long ago.
Now to a place where a better future was once promised.

Scorn
03:23
|
|||
With the sun setting in my eyes,
I travel toward lands
that of which are filled with fields of promise.
Fighting tooth and nail we
have given all that we can to prevent this.
The laws have proved no use for us.
King Mob has raised his iron
fist and brought it crashing down
upon my people.
An eviction from our home,
we accepted you into ours.
Only to be turned on in response
to your thirst for false wealth.
Our brothers and sisters will die
because of this.
You will be judged for your actions.
King Mob has raised his iron
fist and brought it crashing down
upon my people.

Wormwood
04:44
|
|||
Weeks on the trail,
the pace has maintained it’s original
energy until now.
We see the gradual slowing in speed creates more weight
for our task at hand.
The heaviness bearing down day to day.
Bruised and broken our speed
has slowed considerably.
The sound of women and children
walking is the sound of impending doom.
Gradual slowing in speed creates more weight
of our task at hand.
The heaviness bearing down day to day.
I already sense the cold hand of death breathing on my back,
it sends the chill of the forth coming winter.

Mantle
06:16
|
|||
Winter’s dark approach has laid upon us.
Shelter we must seek from death’s icy sting.
An archway rising from the earth’s soil will sheath us from harm.
Hours turn to days, which turn to weeks.
The first of us to leave this place; a young child who turned
at the hand of starvation and the cold.
Her brother soon followed, departing this forsaken hole.
Dozens more with the means to expire enter their spirit world.
Pushing through, I fight the need to relinquish life.
For there is light even after the darkest of stormy nights.
The sun will rise again.

Elegy
04:37
|
|||
Alone in this dark world,
I keep traveling towards the distant light.
That of which will bring me closer to salvation.
A freedom from the pain that ails this world.
To give one’s self to the purest form of life; the need to exist.
I keep traveling to the light.
Forever and always.
