Welcome
The faces
Everything will be alright
Don't evade the radiance
Let the aura be your life
Jin jao jin jao
Be still
Everything will be alright
Ride high above me
But never come down
Ride high above me
But never come down
Bleak ones
Praised in awe
Irradiated
Motion
Sickening
A goulish nightmare
Replacing old fears
You'd never believe it
But don't despair
Just look at me
Look at me now
Cool it!
Keep on
Straight and long
Fill the keyhole
Of unknown
Suffering
Foolish arm hairs
Raised enough where
They could betray the
Boldest stare
Now look at me
Look at me now
Cool it!

Regale
Let me put my arms around it
Searching for the role I found it
We can be us all night
Oh
So you feel at home
Bathing in the aura of
Such a petty glow
But could u give it
Up and decide to
run away from
this cage of hope
Hoosgow teeming
Dog-eyed
denizens bred to crawl
Patients lined up
To never be healed
Brave this cull
Regale
Let me put my arms around it
Searching for the role I found it
We can be us all night
Regale
Leave behind a whirl of folly
Beyond the rage of decay
We can be young all night
Rushing down through
A panoply of
Wraith and thrall
Pick your head up
and shovel through the fog
Reach out - I see it
Reach out - Ooh I'm reeling
Take a hold
You've got to feel it all the way
You'll never be on display
We've got the healing underway
You've got to feel it all the way
The apple is off your head
The wallowing has gone away

Through the energies of our mind
We can fly forever
Fly fly forever
Feel the vertigo all the while
As we glide together
Out through the nether light
Shrieking
Colors
Bones not hard but hollow
Raised by the wind
Spicules in cold skin
Live through my eyes and feel the balance
Of a world spun on the end
Look in your heart
And fear's forgotten
Fueling
Martyrs
Gaping hearts are shuttered
Do you think that you can win
With feathers torn and singed
Live through my eyes and feel the balance
Of an epoch on the edge
Unfurl your wings
And fear's forgotten
All that we have are this moment
And sharpened unfettered beaks
Warpaint that bleeds only
When Hyperion knows defeat
Choking blindly on the light
When deep down we know this means
Darkness is all we breathe
As we dive together
Down through the river ice

Gods Beyond the Moon
04:32

Patterns glow in the dullness
The bodies puissant and bold
Peaking out from the blanket
Infinite odysseys unfold
Madness breeds in the silence
Duration flourishing unkown
Find a home in the blackness
A willing sycophant unwhole
Beating on walls of this sacrosanct tomb
Here there's nothing left lose
Way beyond the edge of impossible loom
Vapid hearts in tune
With God's beyond the moon
Banging on the head of this beckoning drum
Til there's nothing left of bone
Way beyond the edge of impossible loom
Vapid hearts in tune
With gods beyond the moon
Breathing slow like a felled deer
The twilight numinous and cold
Divide
Heaven
Pinfold
Irrational
Shout it oh I see their faces

How do u feel
When the wolves creep into ur heart
And they feast on ur virtue
For the first time
Can u figure it out
With the sharks circling unfed
As the wound suppurates
For the first time
It's a fire
It's a fiery, hollow ache
When components melt down into rain
And leak out this weakened restraint
2nd time
(Its' a fiery hot, and hollow ache)
(WHen components melt, down into rain)
(ANd leak out of, this weakened restraint)
Night song
Burning like a white sun
You'd better find some other to
Put all your levers in motion
Right wrong
Swirling like a hot tongue
You'd better find some other to
Face all that love and emotion
How do you think
When the wires shorting in your head
Reboot all your circuits
For the first time
On and on
Haunting sarcoma
Feeding on
This roily
night
All, all alone
Waltzing chimeras
Vivify
Your wiles
tonight
I feel it I feel it
The weight of a raining comet looms beneath my
Hull

We can fight its the middle of nowhere
We can fight its the middle of nowhere
When all is gone
The heart keeps bleeding on
Among the ruins of our world
It was something invalid
That kept me alive
It was something invalid
To make me challenge
Oceans
And wrestle with legions
For a single bead
Of piquant sweat
When the world is gone
The heart's still bleeding on
We can fight its the middle of nowhere
We can fight its the middle of nowhere
When all is gone
The heart keeps bleeding on
To fill the rivers of our world
It was something invalid
That dragged me awry
It was something invalid
It's a fury that grips a side of my
And to decide is beneath
Do your guns obey the hands that plead
And I'll challenge oceans
I'll conquer nations
Shatter dimensions
For the fleeting heat of one sweet breath
