• 1. Springs of Gilead (04:12)
   copy

  Facing the truth
  To withstand this horror
  to find a cure for the chaos within
  
  What is to soothe
  the full moon terror
  the sorcerous light that pierces my stirred skin
  
  The veil of night
  Stole every path
  waypoints hidden
  in its mist forbidden...
  ...shall I ever be forgiven?
  
  An overburdened mind
  and the garden it created
  this autumnal prison intended for its very soul.
  
  It becomes pallid
  But it isn't fading
  The beacon that we're creating
  finds me burried in dust
  Eroded by lust
  unsatiated craving
  this sordid guilt
  makes me more human than I could believe
  
  And I need a remedy
  for this unfair tragedy
  An opium for guilt
  Towers of unjustice have I built
  
  And I need to reach
  the springs of Gilead
  a mournful Iliad
  with no help at my side...
• 2. Birds (05:00)
   copy

  Down below
  A totem of a crow
  A cadaver of a lark
  As the nature all turns dark
  
  Brace your vulnerable shells
  As the birds return revange
  Faces escape estranged
  The foreboding evening knell
  
  No hiding from the shadow
  No neglecting the named burrows
  Lain to rest in the terminal divine
  To forever close our eyne
  
  Black clouds move swiftly
  'Cross the greyness of the firmament
  They are bound centreward
  Growing denser - hope is but a spark
  
  On our horizon
  Of late
  All I read
  Is regret
• 3. Hester (03:42)
   copy

  Instrumental
• 4. We, Ourselves (04:22)
   copy

  Oh, infamy!
  Oh, indignity
  of a breathing judgement gathered
  'round the very object of their
  common envy
  
  Rotten perfidy
  Shows no lenity...
  On their bloody altar they shall
  Sacrifice all solemn beauty
  to hypocrisy
  
  Oh, inequity
  pregnant with tragedy
  the need to feed their gapping guts
  with their fill of tender hearts -
  - Sweet insanity
  
  Fervent hatred
  Thirst for punishment
  Hours of shared adultery
  Justified with written low
  That we uphold
  
  Oh, Lord!
  Oh, souls sold,
  Never will ye be delivered
  Where you hope to find a shelter,
  Nor be absolved
  
  Wage a war on frailty
  Brutal lynch of sanity
  Epilogue's predictable
  We, ourselves - despicable
  Greasy with the stains of ignobility
• 5. The Immortal Kind (04:22)
   copy

  Stern face of immortality
  Ancestor of all royalty
  Occupies a land where to feed
  Then creates a nest to breed
  
  An odyssey, or an ordeal?
  Wisdom is as light as a feather
  Spreading wide it's wings of steal
  Casting shadows o'er the roof of ether
  
  Firmament is home to the sublime
  Whose collapse would be a timeless crime
  Critics to the ways the nature works
  End up deep down gnawed at by worms
  
  Monument to a primal majesty
  Little sense in a plotted hierarchy
  Sparrows rough it through the winter
  Swallows dance away far yonder
  
  Left alone to decay on the fields of Yore
  A marvelous legacy of a carrion...
• 6. Satiate the Craving (04:35)
   copy

  One life under a terrible depression
  Crawling feebly towards an obscured end
  Suppressed by the burden of the black book dogma
  Forced into an unsurmountable land
  
  One path chosen by or for the man
  A sufferer, a martyr shunned by the mass compliance
  One truth hidden and falsely forbidden
  By the beasty rascals frenzied with survival
  
  Where the words are bereft of all enchantment
  Where virtue is scorned with resentment
  Benevolence imbued with perfidy
  Knowledge endangered by serious malady
  
  No room for compassion, nor remorse
  A nation's welfare is the priority, of course
  The perdition too far has been driven
  Do not hope that it will be forgiven
  
  One life - thousand fears
  wait to see it, as reality is fading
  One path - dark is real
  Can't see clear, haunted by those faces
  One truth - so obscured
  Being lured by the mind's ravings
  What's left to endure
  In a failed suicide but to satiate the craving.
• 7. Delight in Dark (03:46)
   copy

  Autumn turns to winter
  Winds dreadful and stark
  You embrace a cold stone
  Otherworldly lark
  Flies beyond redemption...
  Reigniting spark
  Sorrow turns to pleasure
  I delight in dark
  
  Everlasting night
  Everburning fight
  Bits of Frigid lust
  Intermingled husks
  
  Open eyes can dream
  Dreams of vivid colour
  What else be the succour
  Through the days of terror
  
  Overwhelming need
  You accept the greed
  Caressing mine fresco
  Consuming thine ego
• 8. Shattering of the Image (03:36)
   copy

  Shattering of the crystal image
  Built upon ungrounded beliefs
  Woven into a misbegotten
  prospect of self
  
  Awed by this, a morbid visage
  Brushed out by idolatry
  And a flame that burned potently -
  - now quelled.
  
  For this power goes ever where it wants
  And no tower or wall detains its force
  And all lows of men here prove impotent
  Nor shall even death abuse this divine intent
  
  What is shame compared to loss
  in an endeavour of a lovelorn soul
  To endure the torment of the...
  ...utmost cruelty
  
  A monument overgrown in moss
  Of a kind so weak and lost
  On its knees before this
  Solemn majesty
  
  Thrown into an ignominious ordeal
  Radiate the world with what you feel!
• 9. Drown in Regret (05:04)
   copy

  Empty my soul of all emotion
  So that I may become a man
  Then scribe me a tome of great expectations
  Yet put me in chains - to see where I break
  
  Deprive me of all the natural compassion
  And amidst the crowd make me feel alone
  Become a cheap playwright of a personal Golgotha
  My easiness devour, resilience to hone
  
  I'll defend the with my life
  I'll pretend that we're alive
  I'll perform the sacred duty
  On my wounded chest
  I shall wear the the burning symbol of piety...
  ...Drowned in regret.
  
  Can't you see that everything is wrong
  We are harvesting sorry remains along the road
  Content with the miserable fractions
  We are ripe for self-destruction
  Pretending not to have lost all the radiance we'd shown.
  
  Fill me a cup to forget
  Drown me into regret, Nepenthe!
• 10. Two Ravens (04:55)
   copy

  Plain dispair in Budapest
  neither rain nor air gives rest
  Many ghosts have found their shelter
  here
  To arise again nevermore
  
  No weary traveller finds respite
  No sleep, no friend, no peace of mind
  Captured in eternal fall
  Ominous birds claim this their home
  evermore
  
  Time has frozen in a mournful twilight
  The farewell from lips did not fully part
  Scarlet fields of coroded iron
  Shelter birdly sillouettes forevermore
  
  A persistent hex won't sever the threads
  Nor will envy unhook the inseparable hearts
  Death's no threat when there's aught to die for
  and a love to share togethermore.
  
  two ravens
  shunned from the world in morose flight
  two ravens
  in the shadow of an ivied wall hide
  two ravens
  fallen leaves, October night
  two ravens
  sworn an oath to survive
