What We See When We Shut Our Eyes

Lie down and stay still An old voice whispered close enough to be one’s own Remembering why one was only here Only then did the pain set in Torn away from life A curse all in itself A vision resurfaced a struggle outlawed by the odds When awakening from slumber all sorts of tragedy unfold Not even barricades can hold back the suffering when one’s old voice revisits Embedded deep within A fire like curse holds five wretched shades Back where this once was Sound of the hooves They meet again and again

We set out to capture the night, upon a horseback we will ride Foretold in the second coming of tomorrow Six chants in the dead of night Unwritten fate against the shadows of four Last sunset unmasked Fear thee not for a path Five dead behind the hills, offerings on our behalves When gathered to regain Fear thee not for a path, gather amongst the light Behold, last sunset with no horses to remain A saddle left behind In the company of the sands Embark alone into the night A lone horseback one will ride Entombed to eternity against the winds and the sands

It is a beast that he chases, that chases him Motion to a moment of stillness Silence, the flakes kiss his lips, and graze the lashes Wind shears west to east White blankets, a breath is taken Trees are lines between these lines Limbs have been broken They still dangle limply in the wind Shadows play with what they have The branches give under the weight of it all He looks again, and there’s another set of prints It’s gaining speed and so shall he He never turns back once He knows if he does he will be caught For this he has never seen it And pray he never will He never sees it coming Yet this scene repeats itself In a sequence of that existence

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Most are told to stay awake In slumber will you depart Some men will sail out to sea to feed the endless hunger A maiden’s voice will carry on reminding him of a past Shores surround The black night’s water silences the mightiest of screams Torn to shreds by her song, leaving only one left Luring men to vessels, set out to embrace enchanted seas When asked of happenings, their hands would tremble It is not for the blade to protect. It is the name engraved on the handle A chest holds the names in no particular order Ask why they were taken One was left to send the rest out to sea

Above me Above us all What remains of the word us Still not that much at all The surface in which we once stood has been captured by The very creation which at one point struck fear into others Now we pay for our forefather’s ideas Turn clocks back forwards It matters no more The rise and the fall of our blessed sun Savouring no more Frantic in defeat We turn to survive underground For a place where we called home is abandoned And unworthy of nurturing any living organism When all is lost deep below We begin to overshadow a once human way of thinking Become the ones we only have read about

Forsaken by his creator Left to rot forgotten amongst the screams of the insane Of sound mind and body he awaits Lightning to the brain You cannot cure what is already well He must escape this fortress of lunacy Up the voltage Scramble the mind Memories once clear now adrift There is another confined within these walls His mind is truly sick He too thinks of freedom These men devise a plan At night they flee together On the rise of morning they parted ways One man is free to live One man is free to kill Up the voltage, hit the switch

Let my words ring out in a period of unholy worship I am the voice of millions Confined in solitude Cast me down, down you shall For I will not sow away No matter the cost Offerings of silence Burn my books in the town square Washed over these children’s minds Within lies force fed since birth Will their dying days harness the truth about me I seep through cracks and pores regardless of limitation Once embedded I shall never depart nor will I step down To this mercy of the darkened church you now burn me In the same spot in which one point my books lay smouldering Rise the smoke of my torture In my death do I bestow my return Opening these eyes I see not the world as I once knew it I am granted a second coming through an innocent frame I shall burn the homes of those who have abandoned me because of my beliefs Now their families shall suffer as I have Men, women and children for those who have betrayed me They will feel only as I will never forget

Five set out to ride again When asked where our home lies, we answer nowhere We answer everywhere Others have journeyed by our side yet they ride no longer These poor souls lie in unmarked graves leaving no legacy But it is the fate that they choose Cold bodies have nothing left to lose Those who remain stand to lose much more Continued onward to foreign lands Sometimes we go hungry. Sometimes we become stranded Forever we remain filthy and poor Who would want this. We need this How shall we be remembered If remembered at all I’d rather die with my axe in my hand than go to my grave as less of a man
