Windumanoth Lyrics

Take wing over slate grey fields
Past the timbered flanks of unknown dells
Never sheltered from those strangling waves
Where dismay still swims
Biting rain shatters echoes of faint warmth
Beneath a web of ripples blurred reflections hide
Fading words weighed down by frigid sheets
Join the elegy of chapters unresolved
Dragging aimless footsteps through the mud of pathways
Where gnarled limbs etch like cracks the leaden dome above

And between the velvet drapes of dusk
You strain your ears for faceless calls
And flinch from the rumble of

Pounding blood runs athwart the dwindling radiance
Paler suns lead the march of withdrawal
Primal drives crave to flee from the dark
Pearls of dawn quietly dry away like tears on waxen cheeks
Frantic fingers sift through layers of failure
From these wounds broken years stretch like skeletal limbs
The thrashing of pinioned needs
Paints the fault lines that rip entwined roots apart

The soil mourns not a seed estranged
Only transience knows the agony of dispossession

Bright morning gash
On the edge of shadows

Torn from the womb
Chasing wordless ghosts
Never to share this bond
Stained and misplaced

Damp winds trouble cerulean hours
Unquiet sleepers damn their lot
Inescapably unripe, compliance fails to stultify
Blades honed for the harvest, nectar spilled for iron skies
