Cimmerian

down
a dance
a dream
a thought
a vision
fight
a price
a pang
a dread
a moment
future
a light
a face
a gleam
a torture
seize
a twitch
a shame
a circle
a nightfall
cimmerian
cimmerian
tell me where the others are
take me to the edge of the world
find me in perpetuity
taken beyond the night
for my world is crisp and bright
and no darkness tarnishes my sight
you must have been mistaken
when in shadows you thought I rule
so go and find a place for us
a time of truth and thought
of dreams filtered through sunlight
and sunlit days of reverie
and I will live in peace there
pensive, musing and wise
distracted by the air and wind
the beauty of the light

Scathefire
03:43
|
|||
kindled within the waters
beneath the highest heaven
mighty and wise
protecting and delivering
rising from the flames
destruction and construction
with your fiery horses
creator of sun and stars
burn and dispel
burn and devour
burn and purify
burn and be born
sacrificial fire
scathefire
linking heaven and earth
offering into the fire
your wisdom burns delusion
facing all directions
dwelt upon brightness
lightning of a raincloud
flames of roaring waves
in the thunder of heaven
charioteer, sacrifice
two origins, two births

Metallic
05:56
|
|||
resonant and high
sounds of the leaden
deep within the core
nature shock
future crash
molten and glowing
soft, strident din
tuned to underscore
nature shock
future crash
spinning and swirling
a clanging deep within
fire beneath the ore
nature shock
future crash
golden and molten
penetrating resonance
never heretofore
nature shock
future crash
spiraling mass of beautiful momentum
approaching abstracted time
prospect of destiny hereafter

In the Vanir
04:47
|
|||
wind and sea
in the Vanir
joined together
foreknowledge
my wisdom
those who honor
drawn forward
we embraced
a piece of metal
linked in freedom
for the ancients
divine marriage
they dance
known among us
migration
wild nature
time before
assimilation
cold wind
in the Vanir
golden goddess
no knowledge
her wisdom
for the fallen
pushed behind
we departed
a throne of metal
joined in freedom
I have brought myself
to this point
now I can't escape
from my thoughts
my own life
and the energy of past
I'm a warrior
reaching towards light

The Piano
03:28
|
|||
on the darkened stage
he takes his place
black and white
beneath his hands
waiting in the wings
she doesn't speak
but listens, quietly
sustain, rise and fall
neverending melody
a spell in the dark
fingers dancing
on the keys
the night is broken
a subtle shift occurrs
all those gathered
breathe as one
nothing else can echo now
the story has ended
he nods
and takes his leave
we felt deeply there
something more than truth
across the boards
where memories lie

Power and Prophesy
04:20
|
|||
glimmer of the metal below
flesh in virtue forgotten
what once was joy now
within great loss we fall
we will inherit another world
the art of power and prophesy
words taken the wrong way
ownership of feelings lost
those we strike, hit harder
until we have no control
|

Mending the Sky
04:04
|
|||
nvwa, nvwa
ancestor of mine
mending the sky
pillars of the earth
break and shatter
sky and chasm
cover the earth
broken land
split asunder
raging sea
crashing wind
river of fire
nvwa, nvwa
mend the sky
mend the sky
select the stones
fill the chasms
the black beast destroyed
the burnt reeds turn to ash
blocking the flood
conquer our fear
as we live in peace
