…And as We Have Seen the Storm, We Have Embraced the Eye

No words I can't speak The tongue it just dies And the throat And my throat... It becomes a tomb A dry vault Of emptiness Yes in this void In my void In our void of words Echoes They shatter Before they speak And the throat And my throat... It becomes a tomb A vessel Of the unsung Yes in this void In my void In our void of words And as we stand side by side We still seem to divide Current from past lives Still I look for you to hide Beneath those raging eyes No current - no past lives

I've talked to the gods And dug deep below I've glanced at the moon Parasetical light! All told me to move And yet here I stay What lies in the dark? What lies in the night? ... I want to know tonight Oblivious Obnoxious Defiant One with this pack Separated we move So close yet unknown As a pest we collide Elevated to gods Then burned by the sun Then struck by the stars Mythological lies They're taking form tonight And as my thoughts they faint My body stays in an unknown place And as my lust it dies I can't connect to these vital signs My limbs estranged My mind it moves autonomically But I need my whole to fade To reach above and below the stars Rescue my heart! Take me in your darkened arms I'm out of touch I've simply seen too much Yet I won't see this night... Goodbye Once hailed the gods Once praised below Once questioned all Now with the moon! I'll tell you to move Command you to stay Absence is all Absence is light ...You'll find it in the night We are oblivious And obnoxious Yet defiant

Death chants! But my memories call for life Just who decides? And who manages time? I really have to know What's it like to fade? - my fate! - So sing me... Sing me a song of the gods Since you call my name

Cracks in the loam I stand above Fearing down below Hear the mark A many moons And still more suns Each grain the same Just carry on I am null And you are all Yet still I seek Seek for what's underneath I am flesh And you are god Still you don't see See what's underneath I scrape away Inch after inch My nails they break Answer the mark I feel the bone I see the pain Thirst for it all To carry on I am null And you are all Yet still I seek Seek for what's underneath I am flesh And you are god Still you don't see See what's underneath Am! I! Worth? Less! Of! Life! And the mark remains And nails will break Will we ever see? Will we ever be of light and fire?

I've seen a thousand pass different paths Yet easter will never be the same But still they won't stop And still they won't stop Yes they won't stop calling And we'll all come falling

I paint my skin a shallow grey Teeth less I will start to pray Restless eyes closed tonight No images from the other side I claw towards... I claw towards an unknown truth And an open book before me I lay Blank pages read the history I read into... I read into the leaves And with pain I paint on my skin Coloring the blood within The grains of dirt I do count And pillars of time I will mount Yes these pillars These pillars I ascend And thus I see There is no ocean before me And tho' I weep No tears shall drop on the soil And I try to breathe And I try to hear I try to see But no tears shall drop on the soil I paint my skin a shallow grey Teeth less I will start to pray Restless eyes closed tonight No images from the other side The grains of dirt I do count And pillars of time I will mount Yes these pillars These pillars I ascend
