Before you go
Give the stars a name
The look on your face
Did I dream again?

I recall a time
Was it January or July?
Relinquished our love
The grand offering
Seven auras
Deadly cosmos

Speak to me
In ways I've forgotten
How perilous
Your parting of seas

What I'd give
To have another warm night
Turn around
And ask me to dim the light

Your life
It seems so simple
Yet we don't know what to do
So far away now
All nights belong to you
So far away now
All nights belong to you

Rapture
Last summer
Remembering
Deep within me

Bring on the dawn (Bring on the dawn)
Bring forth your flame (Bring forth your flame)
And orchestrate the lashing (Orchestrate the lashing)
In sequence of gloom

After the drought
I wrote a poem
Upon the moon
Do you sleep alone?
Do you
Do you
Do you sleep alone?

In acclamation
With fervent tongues
You colonized me
Through the arcane
Through the debris
Take down the photographs

Listen
The striking of the bell
Listen
The hissing of the snake

Restless
The earth pounds and shakes
Restless
The rivers of blood

The choir wails
We've come a long way
A leaving song
We didn't know then
We didn't know then

These secrets you keep
Languid winter break
And when you speak
Charmed with the scripture
Given to me

Unveil future paths
Loosen your hair
And lay down your sword

Cut
Cut
Cut

Cut the midnight hue
Adorn
The mantlepiece
Cloak
The visage of self
Return
To a former time

And lo
And hark
The birds head South and onward
Soaring acquisition

And lo
And hark
The birds head South and onward
Soaring acquisition

Of a place
Of a time
All roads lead
To your eyes

I was caught in a spell
The seamlessness of your magic
Draped your head with flowers
At the onset of dusk

Nothing will be the same
The year comes around again

Empyrean
Empyrean

You run the water towel-less
And governed all constellations
Fluid gestures, weak knees
Begin the communion

I was entranced on sight
The endlessness of your vessel
Ascend to higher planes
I am going home

Of a place
Of a time
All roads lead
To you eyes

And night falls
An ode to the lowly
When I meditate
Such silence ignites the void
When we oscillate
In worship of decline

The taste of song
The skin of sea
The pale of bones
The shape beneath

The taste of song
The skin of sea
The pale of bones
The shape beneath

A photo of a river
A song about the waves
A woman spins inside her skirt
On the floor of an abandoned stage

A note inside a pocket
I remember what it said
Words that read like stains
Oh, what is it that you meant?

The taste of song
The skin of sea
The pale of bones
The weight of me

The taste of song
The skin of sea
The pale of bones
The weight of me

To discord
To war
And the heart, it rages on
To land
To sea
Take me with you

The taste of song
The skin of sea
The pale of bones
The shape beneath

And you tread
The earth and firmament
No longer ours
Language and working limbs

There in the night
Exalted, ruthless queen
Old summer dirge
Sing beneath the canopy

Array of green
So lush, do you concede?
I was never yours

Do you concede?
Do you concede?

Devoted to your darker work
My blood leapt from the strangest place
The shrillest of four arias
Words rendered false in the garden

Sorrow tipped its hat and fled
You speak my name and no one wept
Mystique woven in the moon's cleft
I bow my head and bid farewell

In streams of relief
I cup my hands
An ocean overcome
Won't be the last

And it won't
It won't be the last
And it won't
It won't be the last

To discord
To war
And the heart, it rages on
To land
To sea
Take me with you

To transcend
To shore
Usurp with golden thread
To hail
To return
And unravel yet another myth
