The sun split wide open
Bleeding white light
Awoke a demon in my psyche
Gave me second sight
Folklore
Holy war
Sodom and Gomorrah
For evermore
I can foretell the future
I can read the minds of men
Ah but one thing
Eludes my sight
The hand of my demise
The fall of modern times saw
Rise of feudal tribes
My gift begets retribution
My vengeance is my right
Folklore
Holy war
Sodom and Gomorrah
For evermore

Oil Of Vitriol
03:25
|

|
The oil of vitriol
An ink dye cast into the sky
Its fumes bled
Into my eyes
Blinded by
The black, black magic
The sweet oil of vitriol
The morning star
Lands in an
Entangled bank
The arms trade
Foxhole vixen is
Fixing the fight
For the men of leisure
And the men of war
The match locked black powder
Two headed minotaur
Men of leisure
Men of war

Imprismed
05:00
|
|||
|
On the edge of the woods
Under a spells hood
Imprisoned in
A den of sin
The white witch condemned
In the pearl of the moon
The light bends
To meet again
Imprismed
I grew up inside of it
I grew up in the light of it
Darkness has befallen our kind
We'll set her free and turn the tides
A curse on he who sets me free
Trapped inside the pearl of the moon
I grew up inside of it
I grew up in the light of it

Pearl Of The Moon
03:06

|
I hold you in the palm of my hand
A smooth seashell buried in the sand
A white orb pearl of the moon
I want to smash your alabaster shell into a thousand fortunes
To spill the spoils from within your womb
Cool breeze swinging off kilter gate
Earth apple crystal ball in a cage
Peer into it's light
the Pearl of the moon
the Pearl of the moon
You couldn’t raise you breath
In these fields
Turn their world
Onto it's head
Unstitch the web
They thread us through
An oracle shield
Drive deep the needle
Into the marrow of white ore
Drive deep the needle
To the pearl of the moon
Cool breeze swinging off kilter gate
Earth apple crystal ball in a cage
Statued marble girl
The Pearl of the moon
The Pearl of the moon

Siren Song
03:43
|
|||
|
The siren in the cove
Enveloped me in her song
Serpents tendril tongue
Sung lyrics of envy
The pilgrims’s requiem
Condemned me to eternity
Cursed rain for centuries
Turned me to the beast
That haunts the depths
Of the sea
There’s a darkness hidden within the
Intervals of her beautiful melody
I have played the fool
(though my aim was true)
A leader of men with forced hands
(head in the sand)
Freed the white witch
With a siren’s serenade
Lost ourselves lost our way
(as the shortening days)
Spun the almanac’s pin wheel
Back to when the world was flat
Petrified family tree
Sapling dynasty
There’s a darkness hidden within
The intervals of a beautiful century

Undercurrent

|
She floats on the undertow
In the sea grass meadows as
The moon aligns and
Pulls back the tide
Pulls the sun down
Pulls the nightgown
Off her thigh
The crystal water is casting
I look into my past
At all the hearts I've won
With all the spells I've spun
I wish I could forget
She floats on the undertow
In the sea grass meadows as
The moon aligns and
Pulls back the tide
Pulls the sun down
Pulls the nightgown
Off her thigh
The crystal water is casting
I look into my past
At all the hearts I've won
With all the spells I've spun
I wish I could forget

Vigil
03:56
|
|||
|
A modern day dark age
A Divided time Between
United tribes
The opened sun’s
Splintered light shone
Brought the rise of
An unearthly kind
Evolutions spell
Conflict between, ancient beliefs
Wars waged over the Earths Inheritor
Traitors In league, enslaved by greed
Enemies of we who seek to be free
Visionary blind man
Enlightened second sight
Totem rising sun
To guide our women and men
Two worlds
To war
Dark triad, chord of a warlord
His tyrant soul balances our fate
In the faith of man

White Witch
05:47
|
|||
|
The plague freed from the arctic ice
Not of this world
Comes from beyond
Reduces their minds
Down to black and white
To create an army
Of corrupted ones
Ohh Their skin
Is shapeshifting
The wind howls
Like a banshee
Her song is her raft
On the storm
That's brewing
Her White figure bound in light
the Siren soothsayer white witch
(Instrumental verse)
They lay siege, by night
The Slaves of disease
She cracks the sky
Lays all to waste
Calls on the gods to
Break their bones
From the summit
To the shore
Their watery grave
Ohh Their skin
Is shapeshifting
The wind howls
Like a banshee
Her song is her raft
On the storm
That's brewing
Her White figure bound in light
The Siren soothsayer white witch
