Whispers 09:10
In the shade he stands Fallen yet burning still Facing indifference As it spires through the haze Breaking flesh upwards to Whisper sorrows to the sky Gaze stern into the cold Gleaning fortunes dreamt untold Therein Once left to seek purpose Beyond its own worth To live Spirits frozen in flux The way is shut for all Not shown Landmark effigy to our time closing in The glory of countless mundane deaths Choking dust, blinding lust He feels the last for what it is Casting out the withered flower of aspiration
2.
Go all you blind, yet full resolve To end bespoke by weary tolls

Corryvreckan 12:08
Inward turning past fearful chance Through each gilded hell falling Reflections warring in dread brilliance Here now in the deepest ring Ground slashed (tempest come) Burning wild (take us from dark) Progress marked red (marked red) Glowing bright Broken hands (to decay) Shake still grasping In the deepest ring Undo what we have done To think what could have been Fortunes crafted by wicked men The wolf retreats to mend his jaw Made to suffer father's law In sadness Made to see what's real Consoled by What none else would feel
4.
On the Wind 09:31
And to the end let's think ahead All we wanted wasted I've seen their faces all bloodied, but their eyes still shine with the fury of hatred Evergreen faith has finally dried Ready to burn In the dream it feels so good Now we know it's over Through all the broken thoughts, you can see it on the edge, once forgotten Now half remembered, half dead, sullen Staring back on an unfamiliar path Faint scent of home on the wind
5.
Rushing with open fields Orange dusk turns to dark night Green grow from afar Empty streets breathe silence To be filled by sound Distant bellow of unknown fear Yet I run to return to again Bringer of change Yet I run to return Safely the same Still I run To return
6.
First Light 19:19
Always waiting for nothing It's time to learn something Sometimes the fear's all there is Working backwards, chasing smoke We all let this happen Where were you then? This sea of sights will fall to rest Deaf to all vain requests We fail to grasp what once they held False truth beneath the one true self A city stands in dreams and time In which resides a thousand lies You can see the lights from waking life And hear the cries in sacred night The only law is memory Freedom's given, but none to see Trapped we are, too wise to know What every sense would live to show Yet the dawn still waits for none His breath to break the frost that's come Set to flight on ebon wings To see the end of everything
