Burial
05:34
|
|||
|
Struck dead
Cursed by Zeus
Falling softly
To an unmarked grave
Lifeless
The Spirit trapped
Not cared for in death
Grieving for its fate
Death
A blank existence
May Charon find me
And carry me home
I will bury you
So far below to find your peace
Rest in Elysium arms
Depart from Gaia’s touch
Fly spirit
Fly ever upwards
To the embrace of spirits past
To refuge beyond the soil
Charon find me
I call to you
Let my spirit find you
May you carry me home
The spirit departs
Free finally
The vessel has lasted
Now blessed in its rest
Now incarnate
Find a holier place
May death sing you sweet hymns
On the ferry that brings you home
Charon find me
I call to you
Let my spirit find you
May you carry me home

Treachery Of Charon
05:50
|
|||
|
A dark cavern
And the waiting canoe
Trembling with fear
Why have I brought myself here
Charon, aid me
Take me to a better life
My coin is yours, just do my bidding
Charon, take me to a better life
Yes my child
A better life is yours
Sail upon a death bound river
I’ll take you to the land of the free
Charon, aid me
Take me to a better life
My coin is yours, just do my bidding
Charon, take me to a better life
No, this is not right
This land that adores hell
Take me Charon this isn’t right
Take me Charon I plead, this isn’t right
Child now I leave
This land of nightmares not dreams
Your soul is yours your coin is mine
Welcome to death, feeble child
Charon, I denounce thee
A traitor most high
Vows you have broke for extra gain
Charon, I denounce thee

The Black Moon
05:09
|
|||
|
Night descends!
Upon this hell soaked land
The moon turns black
Laughs in hate
Life is dead
Mortality’s hand is played
I suffocate in the womb of death
Never again to reach the light!
The black moon dominates
Hold my hands in hate
Vile life that rests here
To kill what once was dead
An owl flies down
Talons gleam in the dark light
Murder in his eyes
At me he dives
Under his claws I swiftly duck
He screeches in dismay
My life, I must keep it mine
Or is it life at all
The black moon dominates
Hold my hands in hate
Vile life that rests here
To kill what once was dead
It circles back again
And in hate I am beheld
I tremble for what's after this
Is there death after death
It comes screaming murder
In fear I run away
It chases, with passionate vigor
My flesh determined to take
In a fallen log I hide
Diving within in fear
Could it find me here
Can it smell my fear
It screeches in anger
Claws at the log that fails it
Finally in defeat it leaves
And I sob into the night
My life now condemned to fear
The puppeteer who’s dance is macabre
To sate the appetites of the higher
To be their entertainment
Finally dawn comes
Chases the moon away
This monstrosity gone for another day
Yet what awaits in the light
The black moon dominates
Hold my hands in hate
Vile life that rests here
To kill what once was dead

Obsidian Falcon
03:38
|
|||
|
Day breaks
What terrors await today
Shall I die again
Hell approaches in the sky
Talons of deadly stone
To maim
To kill
A falcon
Of pure obsidian
Come to destroy
Hell approaches in the sky
Talons of deadly stone
To maim
To kill
Quickly I dive to the log again
But the claws swiftly rip it apart
His eyes pierce through the broken wood
A murderous glare I behold
In fear I turn to flee
But he catches me in his beak
In terror I squirm
I ask again, what comes after death?
In swift motion I escape
My claws find his eyes
The hunter maimed
Am I condemned
All hope is lost
In time I’ll die
Maybe then I can leave this life

Blind Owl
03:45
|
|||
|
Night descends once again
In a forsaken tree I tremor
May some airborne monstrosity find me
Let me leave this realm
An owl approaches
Again against a black moon
So it seems my killer returns
His nightclad realm has come again
He stops on the tree
And I realize he is another, one blind
Child you are free to go
To Elysium you are bound
What?
What treachery is this
Surely I am not free
Yes
You’re trials you have passed
You are greater than the kingly birds
Rebirthed to the first world you’ll find yourself
Yet you must not linger
Fly into the sun die once more
Yet Elysium you will find
Child you are free to go
To Elysium are you bound

Revival From Dust
03:24
|
|||
|
Rebirthed!
Through the ground I fly
Dirt shaken from my wings
Charon you could not hold me
Death you could not kill me
The trees tower
Soon I soar above them
Sun to you shall I commune
Thou art my salvation
Revival from dust
From the ashes of the earth
Death, a foul trap
I am greater than your forces!
Brethren!
Are you shocked to find me
I have ascended
Fear not death, defeat it
Now to the sun
My hope my joy
Caress of heat
Again to death
Revival from dust
From the ashes of the earth
Death, a foul trap
I am greater than your forces!
I am reborn
Greater than the grave
A greater form of life
A God Poecile incarnate
Into the sun
Yes, I shall ascend
To the flames I once feared
And beyond Charon’s grip
Revival from dust
From the ashes of the earth
Death, a foul trap
I am greater than your forces!

Into The Sun
04:22
|
|||
|
To the sun my wings take me
To death again
Into its grip I run
Elysium
The glow I welcome as old friend
It embraces me
Rebirthed to die
Die to live
The heat takes my body
To black again
The searing pain
Brings me joy
Elysium welcome me
I am your child
My hope is you
Final salvation
Now death takes me
A bright light
It cuts through the darkness
And beckons to me
Elysium my joy, I have arrived
I’ve destroyed death
The game it played
I have won
Now Charon, traitor
Hang your head
I have destroyed your schemes
I am your God

Requiem
08:00
|

Worship!
Raise him to the higher
God amongst the airborne
King of kings, lord of birds
Exalt!
Give praise to the victorious
As he stands above
Glorious in Elysium’s light
He fought
Defeated death, Charon, tyrants
Greater than our lives
Do not forget us, Poecile
Do not forget those left below
We worship, we seek your favor
We bring praise to your altar
Thou art the greater
Remember the children below, Poecile
Great is your name
Above our deeds, above our lives
Exalt, exalt
Master of the winds
Bring joy to our airborne realm
We beseech thee!
Look at us in pity
Behold us with fond remembrance
We beseech thee!
Greater than all other birds
Conqueror of the darkest realm
Master most high
We sit and wait below
Maybe once we may join thou
He who flew beyond this sun
Great is your name
We consecrate thou’s legacy
Great Poecile, master
Winged most high
Bask in Elysium
Its glories serve you
We wait below
For your great blessings
We beseech thee!
Do not forget your children
Great master we beseech thee
Great lord!
Master!
Glorious!
King!
Great lord!
Master!
Glorious!
King!
Great lord!
Master!
Glorious!
King!
Great lord!
Master!
Glorious!
King!
Ruler most high
We bring worship!
Thou art greatest
Your deeds are holy
We praise
Great king
Greatest of all the air
We praise
Death did not hold you
Though prisoner of dark realm
You survived
Defeated the larger
Reborn
From dust and ruin
To the sun you bravely died
Now greatest amongst!
Ruler most high
We bring worship!
Thou art greatest
Your deeds are holy
We praise
Great king
Greatest of all the air
We praise
