An echo is heard
Ash from an urn, floats away
As the world burns
The bond of our thoughts, though I feel lost
Holds us together
A wretched masses eagerly kneels down and prays
In the shade of a fabricated deity
As lightning strikes the senses
And sets the night sky ablaze
A questioning Shepard abandons the faith
The blindfolded pious
Denounce this decree
That he no longer wishes them to be...his herd.
Quake from the earth, there's no words
Stand as the world turns
Solitary days, trees and streams
There's no question what Id rather praise
Let it be heard
Ideology has no place to determine our fate
I am one, I am none, I am everything
As the earth speaks no words

The Foliate Head

Hold your head up high although your neck is in your hands
Swing spines dance like vines, fluttering below the branch
Your face is my illusion
Etching in me one more mystery
Blessed with sacred visions
Instilling in me your memory
A step too far into shaded ferns
As fate works to tempt my heel
Where concealed curses await reprieve
A severed head would be revealed
Lay beside the lone willow weeping
For a breath while dreaming
Awake to find myself astray
Amidst the nights lonesome decay
Crimson slips from cold lips, in palor now adorned
What demon left this rock here, one cold autumn morn

Archways

Scale the craft
with sights awry
where dreams collide
the nexus of minds
blurs and empties
at the source
sends visions to the grave
High atop the lowest stock
of virtue and release
the resonant infinity
bereaves the quiet countenance
of days beyond remembrance
instilling peace and patience
for a cause unknown
the early hours suffer
through the weight of what's to come
I'll take this way
to the disgorging face
an archway stands
between the shore and here

Lunar eclipse your graceful lips speak of the psalms unsung,
unchosen ones
A peaceful place free from distraction
An empty space void of interactions
Saturated in your bliss
A sanctioned loneliness
A psalm only sung to those who wander alone
Chanting in the distance
An echo over oceans
Perched atop your shoulder sits the faintest whisper, it says
River flow let hatred go and receive pride
The universe is in your eyes
Many of us posses this disease
To amass a wealth of material things
There are better steps to take
And think of the world we make
Chanting, etc
Let it go
Abandon the speeches of a dead man's diatribe
And embrace the knowledge found inside

Origin, we are all kin
You stand before the mountain shade
Immensity encapsulates
Stars light the walk to a contemplative sight
I no longer need to see with just my eyes
You've been the rock and the river
Amongst the stars were just a sliver
And though I feel so lost time holds together
The constant motion of our thoughts
A sight expands the distance and heals the blind sky
Toward the summers end
The way her arms extend
Before the waves flood the wind
I am commanded by the pace
That nature takes
Let my mind ferment as the sun no longer sets
And though I feel so lost,etc
Relent as the seed is sown to the soil
Repent let my soul blossom to a boil
Toward the summers end
The way her arms extend
Before the waves flood the wind of..
A star-stretched hollow sky

The Order of Things

take with you every vision
dance with virtue
sense the reason
slaughter hope
consume the beacon
and the world will find you soon...
toss another whisper to the sea
frame the paradox and nail it to the breeze
that sends me dreams
that no one wonders if i'll share...
i've touched the golden blaze
i've felt the waves collide
but my feet are still
my tongue is cut
these eyes are an atlas
turn my water into time
so I can push the stone up farther
let me live
deliver me from every mouth

A World Imagined
07:31
|

|
your face is my illusion
etching on me one more mystery
these mounts and meadows haunt me
knowing no one will follow me back home
your ends are my beginnings
rushing to me from an endless stream
these shapes and shadows want me
floating through me hoping I will grow
an ancient glance
cast through the timeless air
he serves my eye...
each hour of grief renews
each moment breaks my path
and after every rapture
I cannot offer
a token glance at every joy
at every fear
at every way I've ever known

I hear a clear Enslaved vibe, tastefully complemented with echoes from the new wave of north americana prog death, which might not even be a thing.

Easily one of the best metal albums of the 2010s, which says something. Musically, it's like you've taken black metal, doom, and good old NWOBHM and thrown it into a blender for a while. More impressively, the lyrics to these songs are some of the most hauntingly beautiful and devastating I've ever heard. Case in point, Junta. Just listen to it.
