Raging Hearts
04:57

|

a sacred hall
beneath the pines
between the city lights and the northern sky
travelers convene
in this place of frozen time
all are welcome here
tales of legends past
and dreams of worlds to come
we forge our own way
with raging hearts
through the night into the sun
from lands afar
the road so long
we gather here where we belong
the taste of smoke
driving to create
forging steel, dormant senses shocked awake
tales of legends past
and dreams of worlds to come
we forge our own way
with raging hearts
through the night into the sun
the world outside these doors, filled with sorrow
and the mundane
let the rune-wards lend their strength
drawing power from hearts aflame
this fortress stands
for those who seek invigoration
from the walls, claim your weapon
feel exhilaration
with vigor and determined will
choose now your true desire
from thought to action
fires of our own creation
works forged in our own fire
and through the snow
and forests of the north
gather now your strength and venture forth
gather now your strength and venture forth

Let Pain Be Your Guide
05:14
|
|
||
breathe deep, blood pounding through your veins
hold tight, essence of the self remains
endure, limits of the flesh defined
control, form subservient to mind
don't look away, as needles pierce the skin
resolve, you control what you let in
to find the source, where you feel the most alive
you'll know the way. let pain be your guide
oh, this beating heart is yet unstilled
vision blurs with tears of agony
racing pulse, counting scales from one to ten
tendons strain, firebolts of neuropathy
diagnosis undefined
selective pathways are aligned
reframing every sense of self
clawing back, clawing back to health
living fear, will i ever be the same
again? what is to become of me?
in such restraint, feel the walls closing in
oh! what kind of person will i be?
diagnosis undefined
selective pathways are aligned
reframing every sense of self
clawing back, clawing back to health
from under heavy burdens
you will struggle and emerge
stronger than before
find the truth within these words
no one fights alone
carry your strength from deep inside
while you resist, know that you're still alive
light the torch and hold it high
find your way, let pain, pain be your guide

Years in Exile
07:07
|
|
||
inside these walls
confined to time and place
closing down
such shame upon thy face
unspoken words
a prison of the mind
did you hear them?
echoes from another time
open wounds that never heal
they belong to you, a prophecy made real
through years in exile, written in your scars
liberating light, a sign from distant stars
so far from home
freezing, hungry and alone
a litany
of sins, yet to atone
cast in sorrow
years of grief, calcified
a lake of tears
engulfed, the grand divide
open wounds that never heal
they belong to you, a prophecy made real
through years in exile, written in your scars
liberating light, a sign from distant stars
and as you count the years, behind a distant haze
forever out of reach, and yet sustained by dreams of brighter days
the path you walk
no maps to mark your trail
solitary journey
the lonely traveler's tale
with every step, though you may be alone
you're one step closer, one step closer to your home
one step closer to your home

To Omega
06:11
|
|
||
in silent hours, the fear takes hold
the sense of ebbing time
what lies ahead, what lurks behind
a dread so undefined
and when you realize
mortal after all
in sudden clarity
this fate awaits us all
omega ever calling
unto the void
we see but one path forward
oh, these words we leave behind
the marks we make upon the world
this is our legacy, eternity
to omega and beyond
in sudden bursts, the heat of fire
a drive to make a mark
ablaze with will and purpose
one last time before the dark
as the years fall away
viewed from wiser eyes
we search for meaning in our lives
one last great work before we die
omega ever calling
unto the void
we see but one path forward
oh, these words we leave behind
the marks we make upon the world
this is our legacy, eternity
to omega and beyond
the spark ignites the flame, to see and feel
from thought to form, it bursts into the real
the tyranny of time
all consuming
inevitable loss
will you let it own you? are you still fighting?
are you still fighting?

Lore of the Lakes
08:28
|
|
||
on a day when the world was young
we followed the path of the sun
we gathered near the water's edge
never knowing where our journey led
from the shore, across the waves
behind the clouds as the daylight fades
the frigid winds, the foretold storm
the clash of thunder, as the sky is torn
from shore to shore
hear the voices of those who've gone before
this is their home
under the waves, you'll never be alone
horizon lost in the crashing squall
on the winds, a distant call
thoughts of home and the ones we love
afterimage, lightning-lit from above
lashing waves pour over the sides
in this violence, we fought to survive
the final blow, waves crash overhead
ever down... to dream with the dead
from shore to shore
hear the voices of those who've gone before
this is their home
under the waves, you'll never be alone
look to the north
across the water
under starlit skies
never forgotten, forever alive
hear the tales
whispered on winter winds
under shimmering lights
forever, forever alive
