Fires Within Fires

This restless sea is breaking me Fire on my back, the ocean lights me Watching through the eyes of a crow I let it guide me, I let it in The end is endless and washing over me Reaching for me to tear me apart I washed it away so long ago But it returns to seed I do see beauty full of pain I let it guide me, I let it in The end is endless and overseeing me Peeling the skin away, reveals the heart Feed the levee shallow graves To dam the ever breaking tides Free my soul from nihil waves To forgive and to decline

Rise over silence Decry my own station Seek refuge in forgotten songs To carry me over When life has exhausted The casting of shadows The coiled serpent, the eye in the circle To a light that is clear A distance fell, my head is full The hole within me is my ever raging mind To the madness and the fire of the salt made anew Slit the throats of those who light the torches Smother with their blood My heart is warm I searched in my soul The sky revealed A shadow memory I will bury the secrets In the waning of the moon Break my mind of the straight lined roads Walk in the serpent form I'm still within this time My eyes were frozen years ago Our passing days become the tomb The angels left me empty

Bring me Bound to barren ground My cracked skull We bleed it all into the earth I washed you out The seasons we must bear I bled you dry Another eye, reaping celestial fire The deepest cut with cave-mouthed dogs, with nothing left The entrails of the mother lie I keep love, hollow Truth is a rising tide This river runs dry The mill grinds us down With stones around our necks My dissectors read the ever angled cloth A bringer empty, an empty bringer I will not question, you in my mind The wall is open and man is blind The fire is the end lesson All returners bind me I woke to the pain of all returners While I descend those Fall in and breathe Walked in spirit

The wood burns dark and cloaks the rain See what we have wrought again Shadows scrape across the bones Speak only of stones and home We seek the sun in endless night And burn in its forbidden light From the crown it came down The beasts gather and turn to form Another witch in our path Bringing the crystal view Come on, down to the sea Where our fathers see all See them all unto the road Laead os then on the site Of war outside the mind To the world and to our own I lower down to become this land I'll bring a pale shroud Let's drag it in the blood We'll make them see him And take him away forever Waters wash what we have burned The winter's ash, the sky has turned Mounds of earth we build on high In barrows our remains shall lie Trouble sleeps where dead men stare Across the void, we have fallen prey to all Now I shield the fragile ones I have offered my own skin Time must now see this through I'll do what must be done The fear in our eyes is clean Spiders have burrowed deep And the eggs are all dying Leaving us within our own fetus I will awake Crawl down to you Reach out my hands It all falls away

I'll wait on the wall to see out again Lay down my masks to what's born of my own Long are the known to my wraiths alone They'll never see all that we see Trust in blood, live in water Destroying me, be the ladder My head is down, and I am with you I grasp our failure, it slips through my hands Our heartbreaking blindness seeks to atone These vessels of suffering in my eyes Head to the mountains and choose where to die They'll never see all that we see Trust in blood, live in water Destroying me, be the ladder My head is down, and I am with you The ice surrounds it burying me I'm slashing to keep my head fixed The ever changing psychic waves Burning me I'm crashing in my head, I'm freeing fire The breaking of the last speech All before me laying in waste I left the rest for you to touch The end of all we've seen The reasons show us all Receiving new eyes in the breach I stood on the side waiting We'll never ever get to rest The visions are bringing horror The snake subversive within our ranks The sun surrounding the entire head Illuminating reach
