You put your knife in me
You put your knife in me
You put your knife in me
This is something that should never have been
You stood and watched me bleed
Beneath the sacred tree
As you put you knife in me
My blood you wished the soil to feed
I offered you my heart
Like a fool, I let you tear it apart
As you put your knife in me
This is something that should never have been
Lovers, ramblers, wanderers and fools
This life’s a gift that’s given unto you
Traitors hide in the most beautiful of forms
As I die here, hear my song and be warned
So you can put your knives in me
You can put your knives in me
You can put your knives in me
But you’ll never ever ever be free
You can put your knives in me
You can put your knives in me
You can put your knives in me
But you’ll never ever ever be free
This is something that should never have been...

Old Shipwreck
05:36
|

On the deck of this old mess
I felt her sweet caress
I’d touch her hair, not a care
She’d hold me to her breast
Over here I lost my dear
Down by the ocean shore
I could not hold her from the cold
Now she’s no more
Old shipwreck, old shipwreck
Down by the old shipwreck
Old shipwreck, old shipwreck
Down by the old shipwreck
Over here I lost my dear
Down by the ocean shore
I could not hold her from the cold
Now she’s no more
Our sins among the winds
Now they’re washed away
She still rides among the tides
I’ll be with her one day

Compassion
03:11
|

When your spirit is broken and your brother’s dead
When you don’t know where you will lay your head
The weight of this world will crush your dreams
And when they catch you they won’t hear your screams
Grab your chains, it’s not a game, tonight we will tear it all apart
Let them cry out, that’s what it’s about
We’ll seize the day and we'll make them pay
Harken to me and I will clear the way
This is your chance now go in to the fray
You cannot wait for God up above he won’t answer you
Take up the torch and fly today we will start anew

Cedar Incense
04:40
|

Incense of cedar
Incense of night
The inner sun is setting
The dying of the light
Incense of juniper
Incense of light
The eastern sun is setting
The inner life is bright
Smoke is twisting, curling
Your aroma fills my mind
I kissed you and we parted
Forever strangers in our time

Loam
04:12
|
|||
Wet again for me
I can touch your mind
Wed again for me
We cut the ties that bind
Yet again for me
We siphon spirit
Let us again foresee
The knowledge inherit
The inverted pyramid
The ecstasy of Babalon
The bleak infinite
Manifested mind spawn

The Sun Sets Behind Us
02:33
|
|||
Twisted bones, they entwine
Memories of mine
Feet on the arid tundra
A lone revenant penumbra
Across the sands, beyond the stones
For these sins we’ll never atone
Our hands they grasp at the wine
Trying to turn back time
Trying to turn back time
Again, and again
In the endless black ocean
Shadows in constant motion
Hope on the crest of the wave
We will never be saved

Ever Onward
03:53
|
|||
There is no outer war for our generation
The silence of our struggle’s in our hearts
We’ve learned the price of loyalty to a nation:
Bodies turned to ash and our brothers torn apart
Ever onward through the dark
The adversarial powers are growing by the hour
And their battle lines are drawn inside your soul
There are forces you can’t see
and they’re out for you and me
And our mission in this world is to be free
Ever onward, wait and see
Look past the symbol to the symbolized
Look past the physical disguise

Nighttime In Sonnenheim
02:22
|
|||
Pour the mead it's time to feast
It's nighttime in Sonnenheim
In the brightness of stars in the might of the night
It's nighttime in Sonnenheim
A toast to friends and here's to kin
A toast to good company as day grows dim
Times to come and times that have been
Here's to the powers and strength within
Mount your dreams and pour your wine
It's nighttime in Sonnenheim
Erect the Algiz hold tight my friend
The fire's lit the feast begins
The emptiness of our foes shall ricochet
True we are and true we'll stay
And this I say my truest friend
Thor's on return and Othinn rides again
Bring your friends to the feast
It's nighttime in Sonnenheim...
Bring deine freunde zum fest
Es ist nacht in Sonnenheim...

The within is without
And without is within

High Tide
09:50
|

At high tide
There is no way out
Look at the cliff side
Look at the cliff formations
And say your benedictions
