Yeah

[Oskoreien]

Foreword

With the snow silence fell
I could see my companion
One with the dreary landscape
The stark still spruce
Brooding over the horizon
Their dark broughs
Twisting to form
His unapproachable expression

Was it more then just
The accumulation of many
Cold Starkfield winters
Or was it an idle hand
Unable to deter the pain

As they peered through the window
Looking down towards Corbury road
And for all of that
Waiting for one who would never come
Perhaps it was the loneliness
Though never alone
Cold and devoid of emotion
Her obstinate silence
Subduing Ethan into
His own solitary realm

Try and fetch that old elm
You'll walk together again



Revelries & Silence


Your eyes, heavy, rapt-like, for another
And I had waited just outside for you
To take you in my arms, home, together
Unaware that your look would make me brood

I must have been a fool to have believed
That you had kept only those looks for me
And now the landscape of our future
Begins to look ever more bleak


Nepenthe


Two, softly spoken words
Whence uttered, undeterred
Quells my rueful despair
"Good-bye"

Think I'd forgotten you...

Here under these spruces
I came to introduce
The thought in my mind
To linger here entwined
Forever

We'll never let you go...

Moribund musings
Bright, brilliant bindings
My blithe
Stark, sulking concavities
My blight

Someday you'll lie there beside me...
Someday you'll lie there beside me...
Someday you'll lie there beside me...
Someday you'll lie there beside me...


Undulations

As if to speak would remedy
My thoughts shifting in undulating form
Contemplating tirelessly
Only to find the ease of your warmth

Answers that can never be found
Words spoken that cede no sound
Trouble some leave others unbound

Glimpse upon Endurance
Hidden within winter
Fated death, nascence
Of distress my captor

As if to speak would remedy
My thoughts shifting in undulating form
Closed eyes present your body
Whenever I wish to implore

How I have wished for this day
When only you and I stay
From those we wish to keep away

Here at last we have come
You and I together
Transcending the deepest chasms
If only for a moment

Of ardor...




Deluge

Under dampened banks of snow
Where desires lie in cold
Buried between furrows
Of decisions furlough

We were left for a moment
Gathered near the embers
Where answers beckoned
To be discovered

Dormant replies linger amidst
A haunting presence unknown
The rocking of the chair persists
Even when alone

Winter's dispiriting exhalation
Unable to unite* the broken glass
Precipitating predilection
Of an exchange that has yet to pass

(Will the coming of spring drown this sorrow?
Like fading snow grasping for its final breath
Converging with the streams and filling the void
Of my despair)




Forestall

Walking through cold dissolute hallways
Corridors of age upon her face
Closed doors illuminate,
The beauty of one to be displaced

Timorous and consecrated
To the position of defeat
The pallid portrait of her face
Echoing your dismay replete


Comfort in ceremonial practice
Subsistence; fed
The flame, brilliant, blithest
Extinguished; dead

The light
The remembrance
The dusk
That embraced it.

Love-it.

[lurkingIndarkness]

It's nice to read the concept in it's proper order

[SoPrettyBurning]

You guys have some really amazing lyrics.

I'm a bit late posting in this thread, but I just thought I'd throw that in there.

[lurkingIndarkness]

Thank you very much for the kind words. Coy deserves a big group hug!

[Oskoreien]

I think Undulations is my favorite. I really like the song. Whatever we captured when we recorded it that one time, that we've seemingly been unable to reign in every other time we've played it, we need to find out what it is and duplicate it when it's properly recorded.

[lurkingIndarkness]

It is certainly strange that we have had such a hard time duplicating the sound and feel of the original recording. Although it is not my personal favorite, I think it is a very strong song, and probably the most fun to play on drums. It seems that Undulations has also slowly but surely been gathering a bit of a fan club.

[Strevahn]

Undulations is my favourite track of yours.

Definitely the best track to listen to when high.. It really builds up brilliantly and just has an intensity to it that is enough to send shivers down spines.
