Goddess of air
Maiden in white cloth
Mother of cold
And ice flows
I seek and seek
But can’t bear to hold on
Truth is present
But ever so far
Truth is the present
Hide under evergreens
Truth is the present
Knees deep in earth
Stirred blood and salt
Face in the dirt
Dig into frost
I push myself to the brink of exhaustion
In search of wisdom
Hiding beneath your breath
Wisdom beneath your breath
Hide under evergreens
Crawling forward in these empty ice fields
Seeking shelter from the cold
Years and years have passed in this transition
A growing winter in the heart
Drifting aimlessly on frozen rivers
A piercing blizzard takes my sight
Heavens project a rain of spears
And in this agony I meet myself as a friend
Like never before
In this agony I meet myself as a friend
Prowess to search
Search in the cold
Cold is the nature of
Forbearance inside
I push myself to the brink of exhaustion
In need of wisdom
Hiding beneath your breath
Wisdom beneath your breath

Shoreline

Every path I choose seems to lead astray
Every time I seem to misguide my own way
On this shore
I stand again
From here I seem to always find myself
On the cold hard stone where I build my own path
My own path
Every event ever occurred
Now it seems they've all lead to this point
When I see those waves up close
That once felt so distant so cold
So cold
Cold waters whisper beneath my feet
They're calling out for me
Temptation is growing ever higher
The ocean seduces me
I could never be the one to blame
For the things I've done myself
So in this very place I'll soon face my death
Every path I choose seem to lead astray
Every time I seem to misguide my own way
On this shore
I stand again
From here I seem to always find myself
On the cold hard stone where I build my own path
Now I'll go
Go
Release, relief

Chase the serpent in the night
You’ll see
Pulsing embers on its tail
As it swims through the ocean of light
An everlasting journey through emptiness
Through realm of stars
Perpetually heading on
It fears no obstacle blocking its path
Laying my sight to the west of here
And I see what may the future hold
Landfall on unscouted shores
Triumph in battles and honor and glory of old
In silence I proceed this observation
Trying to comprehend the beauty and remoteness
With my eyes I chase this serpent celestial
Coronated with the crown of the north
Revere the night
As in ancient times
And for now
All seems fine
But I feel a presence of a monster
It consumes stars one by one
Starlight fading
Vision slowly decaying
What have we done
An artificial monstrosity
Takes control of the sky
Spreading its wings along the horizon
It leaves no ground untouched
An artificial monstrosity
Takes control of the sky
Tonight we worship
The giant of end times

Hollow Sphere

A moment
of stillness in the eye of the storm
we created to shelter ourselves
From roaring winds and tides
A sphere
of content and calmness around which
all the hecticity revolves
nonstopping
On and on
This day
we put the world asleep
And a lifetime of misery
dissolves into sapphire blue
A siege
The fortress is falling to pieces
The flask that shelters the self
broken and thrown in dispersion
The shell
Forgotten and made obsolete
Essence inside takes the lead
And takes us to higher grounds
This day
we put the world asleep
And a lifetime of misery
Dissolves in vacuity vast
Created inside this sphere
Unstained
In wide-open plains I dwell
Separate from light, from dark
From all the troubles of world
I feel
An infinite space closing in
A deafening distance, expansive
And I see
This retreat exist for those who are willing to see
This day
we put the world asleep
And a lifetime of misery
Dissolves in vacuity vast
Created inside this sphere
Tonight
The distant echo in the woods
A tale of a bygone world
Grows into rumble
A thunder

Bear's Path
05:32

|
It is a lifelong journey to the halls of a king
A lonely burden to bear
The world is gray, metallic cold
And it’s hard to find comfort in distress
Beware of the dark, the nightfall in the wild
Now mystery lies ahead
In the land of solitude where no eyes can see
Hunter becomes the prey
Sickness of spirit
Bloodshed in the head
No beacons to light the way
Leads to lack of courage in the heart
Sickness of spirit
Aching pain in the back
The way to shed the weights
Is to walk an unlit path
It’s an honor to walk this way
It’s an honor to walk with you by my side
Breathe the wind
Of this sacred place
The weights turn into strength
Aching into peace
Bring down the mountains
Set forests alight
Unleash the force
So fierce the seas will boil
