Guillotine
02:40
|
|||
|
The crown of a phantom’s sorrows
Belies travel through its hollows
Scorpions tails numb the wise and meek
Sound of the guillotine
Bats on this moonless night
Patterns deceive the foolish kind
Consumed by your own mind
Let jade comfort your tired eyes
Rivers of my memory
Pour drowning my valleys
This cold traps me with knives of ice
Left to my own device
Leave me on this moonless night
Travels of the foolish kind
Let jade shade the sun into green
Fall of the guillotine

Pearls Dust
03:21
|
|||
|
Angels are charmed all their lives pearls ignite
Demons are molded in garnet necklaces
Grey smoke, cloaks us,
Pearls emerge, as our souls dust

October Spurns
03:41
|
|||
|
Amber’s roots traps her fruit
October spurns the lanterns
Pumpkin’s cry, as you take flight
Gargoyles die, but you are a star in my eyes
The fall’s winds pass my tears to sand
Bats surround your words from me
Pour your sorrows in a light golden
Tell me all your secrets before the end

Magenta
03:12
|
|||
|
Hearts sun-burned by us
Cooled by grey fires
I had no clue of velvet spires, I didn’t listen to your advice
When orchids reach from wrinkly eyes, that love would paint these shallow skies
Magenta erupts into the east, our terracotta army
The suns fiery blaze surrenders to, the purple hands that held you
Hands held you
Remember
Hands held you
Remember
Rest in our shade
We made a promise from this day
Quiet from the cloud’s sympathies
Stay with me

Coronas
04:53
|
|||
|
Warm willows
Sit in the cold
Air secedes
To our word
Owls guide
A gentle kind
Coronas pierce
Our love to hear
Crystals fall
From resting arms
A Renaissance
Marked by the rose
The night sky
Breathes in her light
Coronas pure
Our love endures
Coronas pure
Our love endures
Coronas pure
Our love endures

Javelin
04:19
|
|||
|
A javelin of darkness brought by the bats
Blood tattoos armor under moonlit rings
Look at how deep his fangs sink
Look at how strong his body clings
A sliver of kindness on the nape of your neck
Vanity hardens, coating your chest
Look at how good your fortunes lie
Look at how your grace has caught my eye
Shadows of leaves remind her to sway
Forgetting soul, to illuminate
Orange to brittle autumn-baked
This cycle how can we escape?
Letters in precious silver leaf
By angels hands sent to the styx
And how could they just throw it away?
Why should beauty dance with the flames?

Dark Hollow
03:21
|
|||
|
Under their thick arms
As the branches scream for light
You are my best friend
And we'll never forget tonight
Orange faces
Melt in fire, their tears are not for you
They're for the spirits
Who'll never forget tonight
The Headless Horseman
Saw my black heart
He ran into the deep abyss
Follow me into the darkness
I hear you breathing
Anticipation is killing me
Your Halloween mask
Is not helping you to see
|

Ashes
03:22
|
|||
|
Ashes shed their light
The season's kiss goodbye
Earth consumes the lunar smile
Seas of metal dance for miles
Slowly, dissolving your shine reveals
Gentle, mindful soul
Poems bind to hearts
Ally to the Dark
Taste the sorrow of the king
Royal fruits burn down his seat
Ego changing in grains of rice
Slowly dissolving to your shine
|

Grey Bats
03:07
|
|||
|
Onyx seeds will laugh again
Seeking joy to build away
Bronze mountains will breathe again
Keeping strength in a humble head
Promise to find me you will know
When bats burn grey hues you will know
|
||||

Tormentor
02:27
|
|||
|
This gauntlet takes armies
My third eye takes the lead
This dead zone consumes seas
Garlic overpowers them
Tormentor
Oblivion in born from me
A maelstrom of poison leaves
The Makyo empowers me
To conquer recklessly
Tormentor
|

Citadel
03:00
|
|||
|
Grey tinged by scars
Ripened in the dark
Persimmon skies
Enshroud her rise
Trapped in the citadel
I yearn for the fall
Violet bats explode
Light through opal
Oh emperor
Your mind fills this space
Tigers devour
The mind's debris
