When my head splits in two, and I can't get to sleep
I will go where all dead things will go, if I'd just let you know
Chasing circles in the back of these woods
Death, Inside of me
Death, Where the dead are marching...

Blood

Blood falls like leaves
From autumn trees
Onwards and upwards
To a crimson sky, but tell me the reason why
His body is floating up, from the crumbling earth
Something is wrong here and everything is unclear
I can't discern what the problem is
Tears burn across
My face like summer sun
Yet they're falling up to
The broken body of, the man who i held above
His limp frame before me now, defies logic and gravity
In his body the axe head I won't believe that he's dead
I know I should call for help but instead I turn away
Death begins to whisper to signify his passing
And looks towards the open wound
Where the life's escaping him
Yet still he clings to the fabric of reality
And dearly holds onto his fading life
Like sand it slips between the bones of his hand
And the devil's waiting with me
Whispers fault into my ear
And I'm feeling far too guilty now
I need to get away from here
I trace my footsteps back into the forest
But the bloody trail has disappeared
Though the wound still remains in my thoughts
No red path leads me back the way i came
To serve a dark reminder of his fate
A morbid sense distracts me from this place
Guilt turns to rage
I feel a sudden change
Like a stake drove through my (heart)
Heart is torn in two, I feel no more love for you
And if i hate myself, I'll blame my creator
Deep in my inner core, my body prepared for war
Rolling in agony, I stumble to the ground
A curse I spit upon
The Sun for all my wrongs
It's his fault I'm sure
I know it's futile but, I want to tear apart
To reach out and turn it off, the feeling is murderous...

Metamorphosis
05:22
|

|
As I run, through the trees
I'll leave it all behind
Except these fears, and doubts that still
Haunt my frame of mind.
I've made a terrible mistake
And all I can now do is run
To the trees and hope that they accept me
since now no human can or will
Wander the forest of the pines
The wooded gateway closes behind
Light fades as I leave
the world of man is too unkind
I cast off the vestiges of my humanity as I dance with the leaves
Der Verwandlung beginnt im eigenen Augen, durch eichenen herzen empfang ich die seelen und stimmen die Bäumen
Undergo this Metamorphosis (x2)
As roots curl round my ankles
And bark crawls over my skin
Truth be told I'll trust in undergrowth (x2)
Rather than these demons
Who're poisoning my thoughts
As I evolved from my shell
I grew apart and into
A ghost among the trees
with roots and vines and leaves
Vehemence burns in my core
I set my wooden eyes to the sun
Ablaze my oaken heart
As the woodlands spring to life
I cast off the vestiges of my humanity as I dance with the leaves.

The Way of Ashes
05:36

/chorus
The Sun gave light to the earth
And trees grew like spears they scratch the clouds
Piercing up at the source of their own life
Night seeps into an endless bleeding sky
The sun sank
Shame on me
/chorus
Soldier pines that march to war
Never could settle the score
Pitied by the father star
Why can't we atone
/chorus/
As the Sun is laid low
The trees have nothing to help them grow
and with his dying breath he said
"Child I loved you all the same"
/chorus/
I follow The Way of Ashes

Skeletal Remains
03:32
|
|||
|
This bark like skin, peels and tears
Beneath the shell reveals, the flesh is bared
The leaves are burning, the branches broke
Was such a troubled dream, engulfed in smoke
/chorus/
Extinguished by the rain
All that's left are skeletal remains
In cold night the fog descends
Bones and branches pierce the veil
the war is done and none prevailed
darkness comes to claim us all
/chorus/
Awake and wandering, through the mist
The dead are walking, back to the abyss
Our deeds are empty, our lives are done
The Sun, the trees and I, by Night are one.
