[00:15.42]Shadows play - in my wilderness'
[00:19.13]mindscape they seek;
[00:20.08]One spiteful and wicked,
[00:21.47]one humble and meek
[00:23.61]A windswept pale landscape
[00:25.35]of edified thought
[00:27.23]Two frictional forces
[00:30.00]a triad have brought
[00:36.83]
[00:41.26]A soft breeze whispers slowly (Woven within me,)
[00:48.89]in the valley in my mind (the aerial mist sink falling,)
[00:54.68]And its breath, both foul and holy
[00:56.69]is like the deer to a dying hind;
[01:00.55]slowly traversing the atmosphere calling
[01:06.67]
[01:07.35]Wordless - yet in soul so true
[01:08.81]Nameless - yet it lives in you
[01:10.53]Shapeless - like the purity of pain
[01:12.88]Lawful - when all fear is slain
[01:14.95]
[01:16.03]One shadow of beauty, caressing the flowers
[01:20.06]The paleness of winter reflects in her eyes
[01:27.38]
[01:31.76]Deity of stardom, Enticer of stardoom
[01:34.55]maternal - eternal
[01:35.98]Serenity fades with the darkening of skies
[01:36.59]blinded by visions of sunlight nocturnal
[01:41.48]
[02:03.92]One shadow of Darkness, a shade of deep hate
[02:07.55]A wanderer's spectre with fury ablaze
[02:11.18]In sheets of sharp silver laid youthful to die
[02:14.67]reborn into vengeance, dark flames dance in grace
[02:18.38]
[02:19.18]Dark flames dance in grace
[02:23.62]the grace of Storms
[02:27.26]
[02:29.17]One shadow of beauty,
[02:30.63]One shadow of darkness,
[02:32.69]Sailing free on the seas within my mind
[02:36.47]
[02:41.26]Surging dark oceans - perpetual waters
[02:44.80]Creator of life and reclaimer of souls
[02:47.99]
[02:48.12]Mother Ocean!
[02:48.87]
[02:48.90]Watching the deep fjords uneasily moving
[02:50.41]Whipping the white waves towards the cold air
[02:52.13]Rising like swans in a sacred, sudden motion
[02:53.83]A cascade of lost feathers adrift on the sea
[03:00.41]
[03:06.71]Hark!
[03:12.42]A serenade in the tongue of the wind...
[03:16.68]
[03:16.88]The sight of Centuries, so sonorous in the bower,
[03:19.20]hovering further athwart a leafy cower
[03:21.90]A shelter for those whose time's wind make them wither
[03:24.51]And therefore they chose to guide this time-wind hither
[03:29.39]
[03:32.90]Alas, in tune with the tide of time
[03:35.64]I was,
[03:36.22]but I'm not,
[03:36.94]nor I'll be with its pride
[03:38.67]
[03:38.80]Yes, aeons have flown
[03:40.44]but more is to come
[03:42.31]For I know time; (But time is not eternal,)
[03:44.05]a friend I greet with open arms (their life-stars not immortal)
[03:47.64]- a brotherhood of deadly harm (Setting souls can never pass through the pearly portal)
[03:53.26]...and joy (No bliss be given...nor joy)
[03:55.42]
[03:55.68]Flowing down the gates of Hell
[03:57.31]- FIRE!
[03:58.80]I cry for you...
[03:59.89]Don't spill your tears for me
[04:02.03]but for your kit and kin;
[04:02.05]My scions of light?
[04:04.33]Depraved of the lust and the treasure of pleasure
[04:04.63]which is fuel of life and glory
[04:11.28]
[04:16.00]Silent your dark desires within entirety's light
[04:23.91]
[04:33.66]Solitude...Sanctity...Sanctuary...Sanctum
[04:52.80]...Tranquillity
[04:56.13]
[05:08.44]Hear me,
[05:10.28]You who hold the fate of stars in hand,
[05:14.29]before Creation's eye I stand,
[05:16.45]my soul set free in Summerland!
[05:20.16]
[05:35.22]Mighty the strands of the universe
[05:37.02]A chaosvoid's tomb of dead worlds
[05:38.74]Hark! What?
[05:39.56]Divinity flows in your heart,
[05:40.82]cat it alight - the seed of all art
[05:42.58]
[05:42.73]Slowly reborn from a sunless state of mind
[05:45.22]Silent, your fool!
[05:47.74]Thine words are untrue
[05:49.94]Silent, your fool!
[05:50.97]Thine words are untrue
[05:52.15]- remember Endymion's crestfallen tears
[05:54.08]Serene art the gods, yet pain is their way
[05:55.85]He touched by the heavens, his hellfire nears
[06:00.30]
[06:03.90]Free now your heavenly body of air!
[06:09.45]
[06:13.47]Come bathe in the rays of the all-seeing one,
[06:15.22]holding the fate of all life in both hands;
[06:17.15]Breathing new life-force like goldmade from sand
[06:22.13]
[06:22.69]My winged steed of moonlight,
[06:24.47]black stallion of Thunder
[06:26.17]We rode above the greenish Earth
[06:28.26]and tore the green asunder
[06:29.57]But what you left bleeding
[06:31.43]Destroyed a soulforsaken world
[06:33.26]And your deeds of sharp silver
[06:35.43]Decoyed a mindforsaken herd
[06:39.99]
[06:48.25]A duet of shadows, a duet of thoughts;
[06:51.48]Of beings we feed with the dust of our thoughts
[06:55.29]Residing within us, the twofold wheel of life
[06:58.82]Of insight created: a triad of Jewels
