Unraveled from the skein
Devoured by the dream
Fall into the half light
Shudder and shake, stagger then break
Fall into the half light
Fall into the half light
Forget your name
Fall into the half light
Severed from the narrative
Abandoned by all your dead
No more who no more why
No more you
Nowhere
Severed from the narrative
Abandoned by all your dead
Fall into the half-light
Drunk on the blood of christ and redolent with ghostly longings
Fall into the half light
Await the dark splendour
Shiver in the smouldering dawn
Something beckoning through the dim
Drawing you further on
Sygils implacable extinguish the myth
Immolate
Immolate
Immolate
and
Fall into the half light
Severed from the narrative
Abandoned by all your dead
No more who no more why
No more you no more you
No where no where
Left to drift
Upon strange tides
Strange stars above
No more who
No more why
No more you
Forget your name
And fall into the half light
Forget your name and fall

Midnight Halo
04:33
|
|||
Find you under mooncrossed skies
Then disappear into the wave cry
Time is short, time is forever
You know that means never...
Crimson skies turn indigo
Everything dies
That’s the way the story goes...
Left you with ashes
Falling from the sky
Red clouds they were reflecting in your eyes
Did i leave you? Did I turn around?
Did I leave you? Did I turn around?
Me in my finery
You with your midnight halo
Under the screaming stars
Where will we go?
You in your finery
Me with my midnight halo
Under the silent stars
Where will we go?
Under the silent stars
Where will we go?
Under the silent stars
Where will we go?
Under the silent stars
Turn around
Turn around
Turn around

Visions
04:19
|
|||
Twilight fell, swan song of the day
Darkened bells, ringing through the grey
And we’re lost in your alabaster dream
Everything exactly as it seems...
Hymnals of the vanquished drifting through the air
Dead and garbled languages caressing hungry ears
Visions
Visions fading with the sun
Visions
Visions fading with the sun
Twilight fell, swan song of the day
Darkened bells, ringing through the grey
Silence, silence falls
Seasmoke in the foglight
Silence, silence falls
And everything will be revealed
Under El Greco skies
Visions
Visions fading with the sun
Visions
Visions fading with the sun
Bend not gently your neck
To their altar
As soft as dreaming

Heave and Swell
04:58
|
|||
Angel, Angel
Descend and desecrate me
Angel, please!
Defile and grace me
Till there’s nothing left
But the heave and swell
Heave and swell
Angel, please!
Defile and grace me
Till there’s nothing left
But the heave and swell
Heave and swell
Forsaken finally
Dissolved into the drift
As night blooms
Through the rift
Washed upon ancient shores
Ecstatic and forlorn
Dying
To be born

Black Seas
06:59
|
|||
Black seas, black skies
Nothing’s reflected in your eyes...
Silence dreams, silence falls
In the distance I hear your call..
Burn brighter
Burn brighter
Burn, baby, burn...
One by one, one by one
We all fall into oblivion
One by one, one by one
Then suddenly everything at once
Burns brighter
Burns brighter
Burn, baby, burn
Burn brighter
Burn brighter
Burn baby, burn
Old man satan, call in the fix
Bring us Max Beckman’s
Christ on a stick
Six is nine, nine is six
Cast a spell
Summon Otto Dix
And burn brighter
Burn, baby, burn
Summers come, Summers go
The saints they all
Now dwell below
Never mind how, never mind why
The sea it will
Melt into the sky
And burn brighter
Burn brighter
Burn, baby, burn
Burn brighter
Burn brighter
Burn, baby, burn
Burn brighter
We all burn
Burn brighter
We all burn

Golden Nights
08:25
|
|||
Golden nights, golden nights...
You were drowned in the gutters of Avalon,
You were lost in the darkness coming on…
Golden nights, golden nights...
That was the star burning
This is the cold dead light
Winter’s ashen feast
Still burning bright
Golden nights, Golden nights...
Sway amongst the lanterns
and drunken saints
Starstrewn and tattered
we were
Lost in your velvet embrace,
Lost In Death’s fierce pageant,
we were
Lost in the agony and the grace
Take me back, Take me back,
Take me back…
Take me back Golden nights
Golden nights, golden nights
You were drowned in the gutters of Avalon
You were lost in the darkness coming on
You were golden…
You were golden...

Stealing Lanterns
04:12
|
|||
Sooner or later we all gotta walk alone
Stealing lanterns from the alleyways
And puking in the morning sunlight….
When all the backs
They have turned
And your boys,
They’re oceans away
Pissing on Kafka’s grave...
Well, there’s no more lullabies...
So take your Beethoven
With mainline cocaine
Scavenge the ashtrays for tobacco
Baby we’re all lost anyhow
And that’s home
That’s home….
Home
Home
Baby we’re all lost anyhow
And that’s home
That’s home….
