The Apothecary
04:51
|
|||
In lingering madess
Contemplation of existence
Draped in darkness
Meaning lost in futility
Unwavering solace
Foundation of promises
Blurred perception
Wandering into the night
Hopeless, seek to alter
Consult ways of the wayward
Enter lair of the apothecary
Set forth maze of the sick
Shapeless, lost in enigma
Unleash infinite curses
Downward, sink into oblivion
Corrosion of my will
Despair
Steeped in poison
Ideations flickering
Ceaseless wanting
Unaffected, still endures
Fragments linger
Recollections haunted by guilt
And like clockward
The hand the offers deliverance
Rise up, sink into mania
Go forth, deep inside the illusion
Blood scorched
Fever, steady fire breathing
Rear back
Act upon the primal urge
Cry out, shrieks of a thousand orgies
Reflect, as you'll always be alone
Transfixed, stare at the abomination
Behold what's become
Disgrace has replaced this body
This notion of a higher self
Meaning lost in the maze of the apothecary
Sent up in a blaze of self-indignation
Feeling lost in the maze of the apothecary
Caught in a daze within the chemical
Exist as the embodiment of discontent
Circle of dependence, sin/repent
Living every waking hour in agony
Overwhelming depravation, reach for the hand that feeds

Alive in Lowlight
06:16
|
|||
Striking it out in the darkness
Leave on foot
As the clouds shroud the night sky
Cold of the breeze, companion
Follow the light
Of the glow, from distant neon
Coldness, enraptured
Reflections from beyond shadows
All that surrounds
Fades away, leaving only wonder
Fall of the sun from the sky scape
Relinquish the soul
Like the mist that rises from the pavement
The falling snow blots out the sky
Contented to dream, awakened
Evoked by walking in low light
A shift of old perceptions
Beyond the plane of what eyes see
A vision passing over
It becomes one, one within
Turning to face the west wind
Ever present
It becomes one, It becomes one
Cast aside
Rescind thought
Fall from light
Wanderlust
Travel far
Lost days
Curse the veil
Holder of Secrets
Inhale deep
Transcend
Countless steps
Hidden ways
Breathe the night
Want not
Curse the veil
Cloaked in deception

Towers stand watching
Over forgotten shores
Gates of northern forests
Looming under sky
Mythical traveler, trudging the corridor
Endlessly shifting through the northern shoreline
Blowing sands crawling to the ancient construct
Under the watch of an otherworldly gaze
Barrier
Waning moon
Shrouded in mysticism
The ghost of the northern dunes
Gates of northern forests
Looming over water
Waves of restless movement
Break upon the timeless earthen mounds
In the midst of wilderness
There dwells the specter
Voice beyond the void
Murmurs through the monument
Those who will never leave
Haunt the barren sands
Dark presence
Reaching forth from the void
Calling out through the cedar boughs
Root and stone manifest
Images of shades
Apparition in the seiche
Cold form draws near
Dread suspended among the beach grass
As an ominous wind blows ashore
Possession moves within
Haunted by wretchedness
Devoured from within
Interned by the one
Who is shrouded in mysticism
The ghost of the northern dunes
In this light I see beyond the horizon
To see the universe staring back at me

Litany Nocturnal
07:17

Grey sequence
Speak into existence
It has come
To pass this communion
Life beyond light
Bask in still reflection
Release want
Freed from the grand deception
Well of sight
Gaze into nothingness
Meaning rise
From this disintegration
Surrender, into the wholeness
Of the temple that is night
Breathing dust, diffuse form
Into the plane of shadows
And make anew
Celestial vision
Insignificant life
Drift into absentia
Penance to the void
Eviscerate idolatry
Remonstrate submissiveness
Grey sequence
Speak into existence
Sun rises
Dissipates the dawn's haze

Rite of Winter
04:32
|
|||
Cusp of slumber
Colorless, bleak and drawn
Awaken
Frozen mechinations, seized by rust
Blaze in the northern sky
Reaches out and peirces through
Unending frost
Coerced by the faces in the coals
Belching black smoke
Clutches the air of purity
(swept away)
Purity
(swept away)
The witch's call
Dimming of days with
The summoning of the feral beasts
Frozen rot
Weary and broken
With the coming of winter
Echoes of daylight
Stricken silent by the grip of relentless cold
Asphyxiate
Memory of life, buried and gone
Beneath the frozen soil
Entwined and withered roots
Bleached and white
An empty faded husk
Stripped and raped of what never was
And what will never be
(wilted and bound)
Never be
(wilted and bound)
Funereal howl
Eclipses the light of virility
In all things
Tortured limbs
Brittle and cancered in the dying sun
Finality of all flesh
Primitive beckoning
Of the unconscious vow
Reckoning existence
Unraveling the elaborate ruse
The witch's call
Dimming of days with
The summoning of the feral beasts
Frozen rot
Weary and broken with the coming of winter
Rite of winter

Mishipeshu
07:43
|
|||
Moving silent in the deep
Lynx of great water
A wrathful force of devastation
The bane of theives
On Michipicoten
Dwells Superior's son
Keen watch of the guardian, sleepless
Opposing the thunderbird
From the realm of depths
Of those who traverse the expanse
From the light be swept
Brazen copper horns
Crown of the tyrant
Reigning
Mishipeshu
Bringer of storms
Unseen keeper of lost
Construct of the earth
Master of under-life, the summoner
Winter's frozen surface
He stalks below
In the frigid darkness he bellows
The icy grip of the undertow
Brazen copper horns
Crown of the tyrant
Preying
Hear the screeching hiss
In the churning swell
Extinguish the flames
That burn within unwary souls
He who strikes fear
Within all beating hearts
The lips of cautioners bear his name
Dark one
Predator
Eyes of the night cat
Mishipeshu, hidden in breakers
Veiled by storms, dread of fathoms
Angel of torment, wrath of nature
Spirit of water, spirit of vengeance
Fury incarnate, victims unnumbered
Taker of children, scourge of the upper peninsula
On Michipicoten
Dwells Superior's son
Beneath the frostbitten shoals, cavernous
Ageless he moves in shadows
Beyond memory
Bespoke the twilight era
As the voices fell silent
