• 1. Hollow Dominion (20:49)
   copy

  Within these halls of tranquility
  The hand of man is not seen
  
  A vault of starlight
  Held aloft by ancient trees
  Our timeless companions
  
  They stand watch over this sanctuary
  Of primeval solitude
  
  Ravenous hordes claw at the gates
  
  A swarm, starved of purpose
  And promised a birthright
  Destined to live in hunger
  Born to serve their ghoulish masters
  
  Raze creation down to the mantle
  Raise monuments to their creator
  Such hollow gestures for hollow beings
  
  Hold fast
  
  May we find peace again
  After their kingdoms fall
• 2. Marathon (11:06)
   copy

  Oh, how the years have slipped away
  Since you left your home behind
  Rode off with a band of rogues
  In search of giants to slay
  
  Traded a warm hearth for nights in the dirt
  Now you stand alone on the battlefield
  
  Prepare that tired horse
  For one final final ride
  Pray that you can fight long enough
  To die in combat
  
  Pour something strong and raise a glass
  To all of your friends in the ground
  Pour another few for yourself
  
  In hopes that you’ll catch up with them
  
  “This wretched hand that I’ve been dealt
  Was but cruel fate, writ in stone”
  Add another voice to the choir
  Of lies that you tell yourself
  
  With sunken eyes so fixed on the dead
  You never could see the living
• 3. Forsaken Tarn (11:21)
   copy

  A gallery of decay
  My eyes set on the path ahead
  Beset by wraiths with familiar faces
  They arrange the carrion to please the vultures
  
  Weary, I take refuge at the edge of a lonely pool
  Sunlight dances softly on the ripples in the water
  The crystalline surface reflects a vision
  Of the harrowing path that lies ahead
  
  I gaze deeply into that cruel mirror
  A tired and sunken face gazes back
  
  What dwells within the depths beyond
  This forlorn visage laid before me?
  
  Faint footprints pressed in silt
  Bones sunken in the mud
  Pale bodies swathed in rot
  Surrendered lives
  
  Linger not at my shore
  Lest you find yourself
  Moldering in regret
