1. As Islands Sink (8:56)
Abandoned by the light
If we die here
Lay me by the river
We feel the orbits realign
Watching as islands sink
And everything we love burn to the ground
Muting
The cries of abhorrence
The smoke clears the way in the night
Amidst a whelm of treacherous adoration
Burying
Defiled memories
South of where the cinders fall
Bringing forth
The semblance of consolation
Through the veil of darkness
A cold serenity
Erases all but
The promise of a coming day
Ominous is the waters' elegy
A harbor that's long been denied
To bestow
Penance or condonation
Across the night eternal
We close our eyes to see
An ivory tower
Collapsing in the heart of every man
In perennial defiance of the wild
Not from the echoes of the deep
(Nor from the rustling of fire)
The crowds so feebly were deafened from the serpent's song
Not by the moonlight over hill
(Nor by the outlines of pyres)
Our eyes glimmer to shards of lacerating northern stars
Abandoned by the light
If we die here
Lay me by the river
We feel the orbits realign
Watching as islands sink
And everything we love lost on the ground
Like captives of the night
When we die here
Let us be delivered
Our eyes become a satellite
Watching this island sink
And the strain within
Grow until we drown
If we die here
Lay me by the river
We feel the orbits realign
Watching as islands sink
And everything we love burn to the ground
Muting
The cries of abhorrence
The smoke clears the way in the night
Amidst a whelm of treacherous adoration
Burying
Defiled memories
South of where the cinders fall
Bringing forth
The semblance of consolation
Through the veil of darkness
A cold serenity
Erases all but
The promise of a coming day
Ominous is the waters' elegy
A harbor that's long been denied
To bestow
Penance or condonation
Across the night eternal
We close our eyes to see
An ivory tower
Collapsing in the heart of every man
In perennial defiance of the wild
Not from the echoes of the deep
(Nor from the rustling of fire)
The crowds so feebly were deafened from the serpent's song
Not by the moonlight over hill
(Nor by the outlines of pyres)
Our eyes glimmer to shards of lacerating northern stars
Abandoned by the light
If we die here
Lay me by the river
We feel the orbits realign
Watching as islands sink
And everything we love lost on the ground
Like captives of the night
When we die here
Let us be delivered
Our eyes become a satellite
Watching this island sink
And the strain within
Grow until we drown
