lyrics

Of Sermons and omens to mend

'And every tongue,
Through utter drought,
Was withered at the root;
We could not speak,
No more than if
We had been choked with soot.' - Rime of the ancient Mariner

White eyes split
With retinal veins
Greedy with hateful,
Splendid and ravenous
Spill over the sand,
A flood of all tragedy
Carrying with it
Their desperate glee

Pause in this in-between fragment,
I have lived in this moment between fallen sweat
Cast from my skin, it dithers and swells
It hovers in place as though time was at rest

I spy a crack in this apparition
A shudder singed bright phosphorescent ignition
Cuspid glint grins drop low with their mandibles
And eyes raise to the sky with loosened gaping jaws

Static sentences, staccato consequence
The lithe ligaments of times elasticity
Here is intention, here is malign
Here is where their pain burns the brightest

Beholden to all
The seam of the world
Divergence of green-hide
The bare face of stone
Drone dust malignancy
Jaundice the sun for me
Abrasive and bruised by
The deafening hum
And lo! spied amidst the
Particulate frenzy fields
The sheared stays of metal
The scaffolds and trebuchet!

Bared teeth and phlegm specked,
The barbed blades a serenade
The red veins and anger!
Swells within our enemy

Dark is the sun,
Encompassed and hidden
Virgules of aether
Bind and transpose
Dainty the dust winds
In dignified helixes
The faintest transcendence,
I quake as I stand

Above us the shape
Of unknown vocabulary
A thing from beyond
The manna of all

Black in the heat plumes,
Yet steadied with alchemy
The omen once promised
By awoken women

Our foe seems to lose
Its vigorous appetite
Retreat from the pall
Cast by this edifice

They flee for the sand shrine metropolis
Heeding the sermon of our arresting sentry
From stone craft beckons, harmonising with our chord
Above forest shakes, for the coming of this sign

The fear now quenched, we are filled with song!
The reed vibrato of a choral throng!
The omen no more than a crib for a child!
Reared in its womb by a living god!

Interspersed lyrics -

Terror sinks deep
In the lightness of will
And we brandish
Spears of valiant whirl

Gather the creed of this woman before us all
The mother of mothers, the erstwhile soul

You are stronger than
Those who want blood
The elegant brave,
Wheat-ear of sympathy

You are the green spine,
The dew and the moss
Amongst one another
Is your trust

We grasp tight and share in this unity
For the love of all!
The songs will be sung in the heart of all Norr
To heed our call!
A people spun from the scarcest of silken threads
Each warp and weft!
On a loom made of ice and the sea and the land
Matrimony!

Countless moments chronicled!
Of lost fortunes and grave missteps!
Amongst your living memory!
All are welcome, for the morrow..
