Whispers

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

The Last Return

Go all you blind, yet full resolve
To end bespoke by weary tolls

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

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

Running in Circles
09:44
|

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

First Light

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
