A Winter Infernal

from the dust I hail, spill out onto your lens
I watch over you, I see your mind must be cleansed
you are no sinner, but just misled
so now we must purge, the poisons from your head
I'm sorry I can't be near you, but are you sick of me yet
just know that I can hear you, but would I just be dismissed
because if you can't see me, am I really here
and if you can't feel me, do I even exist?
when I once went walking, laid my eyes upon you
I got so sleepy, I didn't know what would ensue
but I knew that I loved you, I knew I loved you so
I didn't know when to give in, or how to say no
I come from the stump, and one day I will return
I will not leave until I see the world burn
I wish to send you into a sleep eternal
I shall bring to you a winter infernal
I'm sorry I can't be near you, though I can still try
to send my love through you, let you feel what's behind my eyes
so that you may look upon yourself with a shimmering gaze
with nothing but light, an ethereal haze
I fear we're not safe here, though deep down I know
to evade our dies irae, to Grand Peaks we must go
I could not let it hurt you, I just want you to be safe
for after all the mitigations, we must find our saving grace
I come from the stump, and one day I will return
I will not leave until I see the world burn
at night I shall cross your step nocturnal
and you will bear the scars of a winter infernal

Nobody

a love undying, grey doves flying
a lifetime spent trying to get to you
what's there for me to do
brown leaves falling, mountains calling
am I just stalling for the day
that I fly away
in the distant future, will you come running to me
from across the desert, the only one I see
with wings spread open, spread out open so wide
but when I lift my head above the water
when I open my eyes, there's nobody
lost in my feelings, hung up on pretty things
will I find some deeper meaning when I get home
or will I just be alone
dust is stirring, colours are swirling
what's that I'm turning in my hand
you just wouldn't understand
wheels forever turning, spinning eternally
I'm trapped inside a prison, I'll never be set free
I'll never climb out, never climb out of my bed
but when the ashes have seeped in
an birds fall from the sky, there'll be nobody
I know it'll go away, I'll make it go away

To Loathe

|

|
I've come to loathe your stench
I know I'll never forget the hypnotizing odour
enchanted by your filth, for you have broken my will
alabastrine poisons
is my head filled with diffidence, am I just smudging my innocence
I don't know
the beasts of my own hand, I fail to be a good man
it is so
flowers will bloom around me, young children will run
but for now I'm too stuck in my own fun
a heavenscape of lore, metacarpi grab through my floor
dragging me to hell
a haven of mercy, to its Grand Peaks kadath calls me
shimmering and golden
when in the better land, I'll take my love salvation's hand
no more suffering
washed in the tides of pax, elysium, we'll never go back
in peace eternally
shall it curse us forever, or is the end really near
I know that you and I wish not to be here

I don't know if this place is safe, now that the stump is gone
when I look at your face, I see the pain that is shown
all that I've hidden, all that I've done
shall be destroyed, send up a cloud
and it will block out the sun
I couldn't tell you that we'll be ok, now that the world's turned to ash
it makes me wonder, have I just failed my task
will we leave it all behind, and find a better land
or will we just face up
to a death at our own hands
the threat of Colossus Bane does loom
despite all of our walled-off rooms
where shadows seep through tiny cracks
to creep up behind us
and stab us in our backs
I now I've done you wrong, I've failed my duties now
I see the pain that's shown, there is no turnaround
so now I sit back and watch
as the sun, the sun
the sun goes out

Through Freezing Rain...
10:59
|

|
the freezing rain is oh so cold, after the falling ash takes hold
It hurts me so to see us here, with nothing but my own most worst fears
after everything we've done, our fate was handed off to one
the sky fell down onto its knees, so know I fear we'll have to leave
I saw the words etched on the ground
it told me to run to the sound
o'er where the mountains
they touch the sky
where I know we would never die
I do not wish to see us here, but it is all just in good faith
because I care for you my dear, I fear you are no longer safe
in this dark room with no sympathy, how could it ever come to be
that I should bring myself to tear the words
from my mouth, despite timidity
I heard the birds fall from the sky
I know I cannot let you die
so just trust me when I say
we have to go, go far away
blades of steel and shards of glass, we use our fire to cut our grass
with no regards to what we sow, until the dust comes down like snow
for we are not built like machines, we die and fall off stage and screen
so now we stand the test of time
will you stand with me, love of mine?
I felt the ground begin to shake
I knew that he was soon to wake
I knew his wrath would rush in flood
and seas were soon to turn to blood
