Hymn of Transformation

We offer up, our hearts, to the flame,
And we will burn until we cannot burn,
And in time, will we learn?
To mend from the inside out,
Open ourselves to reveal every weakness,
Will all of our love carry us through this?
Uncertainty and internal darkness,
Will all of our love carry us through this?
Into the dust, we crawl, and submit,
To all the emptiness inside,
And in time, it subsides,
But echoes still haunt in our eyes...
Open ourselves to reveal every weakness,
Will all of our love carry us through this?
Uncertainty and internal darkness,
Will all of our love carry us through this?

A slow burning wave, that builds with time,
Until it crashes down and washes away,
All the things we were, and the things we knew,
So we can start again...
With paint on our lips, adorned with shine,
We are such pretty things, in others eyes,
But underneath the mask, we squirm and writhe,
As we grow dangerous...
Become the things that inspire fear and confusion...
We are the things that inspire fear and confusion...

The Other Side

In the night, where whispers bloom, and shadows fill the air,
Left my breath, and sank into, the stillness everywhere,
And my heart, let go, it's final weakness,
Pulse so slow, it lost its glow,
It's only where I belong, right here my darling,
I'm on the other side...
The wind it shivers my song, through lungs left hollow,
I'm on the other side...
Haunted tears, I cast aside, a trail of broken years,
Not a land, where softness blooms, just misery and fear,
And here I lay, so cold, and free of sorrow,
As my bones, erode...erode...
It's only where I belong, right here my darling,
I'm on the other side...
The wind it shivers my song, through lungs left hollow,
I'm on the other side...

Skull Throne

We build this city with the blood from our own hands,
And lifted every stone overhead,
The burning sun it bleaches down across this land,
As we collapse into the dust and die,
Our bodies piled upon the ever growing pyre,
They were such fools to leave us out in the air,
The smoke it filled the skies and darkened everything,
And She awoke, carapaced, glistening...
Oh Unceasing One, rule over us,
Our skulls pay tribute to your majesty,
Let blood bathe the land eternally,
Arise and devour it all,
The walls collapsed beneath her massive howling form,
Thousands crushed beneath her love,
The feast continued to unfold into the night,
A throne of death for her delight...
Oh Unceasing One, rule over us,
Our skulls pay tribute to your majesty,
Let blood bathe the land eternally,
Arise and devour it all,
(Oops, I borked the lyrics live on this one, too - xoxo - Nathan)

Just let go, and slip away, release yourself,
Close your eyes, get lost in dreams,
Exist no more...
Now gaze in, to nothingness, and breathe it in,
It's deep inside, it's in your eyes,
It's everything...
