If We Took All Gold
05:35
|
|||
A ghost embrace, just beyond our arms
Such beds are cold
As thoughts to weigh heavy on our hearts
Lie still, untold
Wane, so desperately, you want to love another
A ring of gold
Feigning destiny, the tie to bind another
To make you whole
Unto yourself, one more scar you'll keep
Unto yourself, another scar you'll keep now

Portrait
04:17
|
|||
Upon foundations crippled by frost
Stand generations enduring loss
With what was gathered, and what was lost
We will stay honest despite the cost
One ripple against a wake,
Once patterned, will replicate
We will not find it just to lose it again
With what was gathered, and what was lost
We will stay honest despite the cost
Lost
We will not find it just to lose it again

Last Hill in a Vista
05:29
|
|||
Come, let us tell the weeds in ditches
How we are poor, who once had wealth,
And losing ground in the battle for our health
Let the dust settle, enveloping all that will be
As we sleep
In our hand, calloused from waving the flag we guarded
Witlessly
These silent days we long to be spared the burden of wear

A Rest Along the Way
06:14
|

Each in his season
Slights the reason prudence brings
Set on my tempered skin,
Cut by the cold wind,
Offers little site
Of comfort through the night
Each in his reason
Slights the season freedom springs
Left baring my marred heart
Come a drum in part
A piece to beat upon
But lacking perception
Fate, for every passion’s sake,
Provides another bond
To stress until it breaks
And strive to move beyond
A place to rest your burden, trust you belong
And yet, Fate
Provides another bond
To stress until it breaks
And strive to move beyond
Treading each other’s healing
We pave a path unyielding
Responsible for ceding, we
Bear the loss of love

The Common Face
05:52
|
|||
Caste, imperfect place, a hardship bourne of wealth
The right to show your love for another
Faking thoughts to fit a mold, hoping that
We'll all see the day
Of letting go, reflection a fragment
Waking thoughts betray your own knowing, that
We'd all feel the same
Fast to write away what we all forgive ourselves
Past, the common face, that we all forget ourselves
Force-fed denial of what we all once shared
Forced into denying what we all once shared
Caste, imperfect place, a hardship bourne of wealth
Waking thoughts betray your own knowing, that
We'd all feel the same
Fast to write away what we all forgive ourselves
Past, the common face, that we all forget ourselves

Amenable Sons
03:53
|
|||
Dined with red wine and white lies
A game of citing lines
As seen through reborn eyes
The dead we live among
Turn to fuel for the outcome
Mends any damage done
By small acts of rebellion
Praise
The will to overrun
What our Fathers have written
Preys
In this state of unknown
Retrogression
In this state not our own
A lone echo
A lone echo
Alone
Echo an oath for change
And hope plied for gain
Swallow more of the same
A vote cast in vain

On Weathering
09:04
|
|||
We will weather a storm
Fueled by the neglect of centuries
A shift in perception
Strips back layers of history
This path beaten before
Passed as aged senility, Lost
A trek with no turn
To learn lessons earned
This role as The First
A part to rehearse
Immolation gains a heart
Through increasing disregard,
A force unseen
Winds carving lines into the face
Of one who lived through past mistakes
An image we still choose to trace
Despite the wealth we have at stake
Never to know the breath of hope,
The common goal we would sow
