Novembers Doom
THE CLEARING BLIND
I’ve almost had enough
Can our dreams carry on?
Under stress from a failed plan
Shattered mirror reflects the crass
I do not fear the act of death
Only to be forced away
Within these walls, the scent of ruin
Through the barren halls feeds the beast
Exhaling breath, the fragrance of rot
A taker of souls, she ravages death with passion
Here you reside in this frail house
Beneath the squalor and the filth
I will not feign my hate for you, for you
Within these walls, the scent of ruin
Through the barren halls feeds the beast
Exhaling breath, the fragrance of rot
A taker of souls, she ravages death with passion
This time tomorrow
Our story will be no more
Undeserving of this night
Overstep where starlight shines
Undeserving of your life
Passing through the clearing blind
Within these walls, the scent of ruin
Through the barren halls feeds the beast
Exhaling breath, the fragrance of rot
A taker of souls, she ravages death with passion

Altars of Grief-In Dying Light
Open yourself to me
Consumed by my misery
Your blackened wings unfurled
And the ashes fell like snow
The ghosts that reside in this place
A reminder of the life that we shared
In you, I saw reflections of a cold, winter day
Where the sun refused to shine
These years have stolen everything from me
But, time can not claim your memory
Time can't take your memory from me
In dying light
I'll carry this weight
In dying light
I'll see your ghost again
The future holds nothing for me
Trapped in the darkness, alone
Tired eyes, cursed to wake to another day
Slipping further down into despair

Altars of Grief-Your Heaven
Without your voice I am sightless and alone
Haunted by the memories of a place I once called home
Shadows force their way inside and paint depictions of my grief
I lament for providence but my faith abandons me
Growing cold with every hour of this endless night
The broken wings that expand behind me are incapable of flight
Mired deep within my sullen ruin
Amidst the dust and bereft of your light
Divine hands that crafted your wings
Bind me, hopeless, to my despair
The sands of time, for me, shall fall no longer
This growing darkness I can not escape
Desperate prayers have gone unanswered
I know your Heaven was never in reach
At last, the rain did cease
And a thunderous silence beset me
Grey skies give way
To an aching clarity
You're no longer here
But, I can't forget your face
I need to feel something real
The caress of cold steel
Metallic taste on my tongue
My hands are shaking
But, my senses are numb
I need to feel your pain
I need to know your Heaven is real
Under my own heartbeat
And heavy breath
There is no sound
But, that of time fading away
In these final moments
We are truly alone
Until the silence takes us away
Away from this life

Altars of Grief-Room of Angel (Akira Yamaoka Cover)
You lie, silent there before me
Your tears, they mean nothing to me
The wind howling at the window
The love you never gave
I give to you
Really don't deserve it
But now, there's nothing you can do
So sleep, in your only memory
Of me, my dearest mother
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes
It was always you that I despised
I don't feel enough for you to cry
Here's a lullaby to close your eyes
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
So insignificant, sleeping dormant deep inside of me
Are you hiding away, lost, under the sewers
Maybe flying high, in the clouds
Perhaps you're happy without me
So many seeds have been sown in the field
And who could sprout up so blessedly
If I had died I would have never felt sad at all
You will not hear me say 'I'm sorry'
Where is the light, wonder if it's weeping somewhere?

Eyes As Tableau
Wise from what you thought
Like needles through dust
A view of transparent skin
Only then can healing begin
Falling for a phrase, taut and exemplary
Icons on stone to serve the past
Obdurate when regret becomes our history
When love is discreet and hope trivial
Rise from your knees, despite the scar
As I will always be watching from afar

Sertraline
Their Cities
To the hum of the streetlights we danced
Under the viaduct we sang all night
To all the factories we would run and scream
And to the convenient store parking lots
where we'd vow to see better days
With the smell of a dying town
Won't be here to see if it turns around
The bridge, the park, the square
They all will rot
The bridge, the park, and the square
They all will rot
But the mills of sorrow will always grow
It was a big part of our lives
But we must go and never look back
Leave their cities behind and head for the trees...together

Sertraline
Prague
Hanging from complacence
Seeking a renascent heart
I shall wander far from everyone
My wife, my kid, my home
The warden of time, a prisoner of choice
To those empty canals from a middle aged voice
Regret has burrowed down to the most selfish of bones
And I've scorned my beloved to no fault of their own
A world away yet still close to fear
A new skin to touch to help me disappear
We drive down to the end where the lovers meet
Rain on cobblestone under lights like fire
Between where the songs fade and grief hides the laughter
Time is a burden to the future we seek
All motives are lost in decisions we make
The past is a widow and she lets us pretend
Fate is a consolation when we know it's the end
I'm so sorry

Eisflammen
В Мистериях Ночей
Здесь неба полотно звёзд россыпи прожгли,
Дурманя ум людской в угодьях красоты.
Шуршит изящный лес под натиском ветров,
В густой, застывшей тьме, душе даря покой.
В мистериях ночей поймать природы пульс,
Разрушить храм надежд, отринув жизни суть.
Стать выше всех доктрин, что создал человек,
Шагнув в порталы тьмы немыслимых ночей.
В себе разжечь костры, что правду озарят,
В урочищах души сквозь заблуждений мрак.
Растаять в темноте, обители лесной,
Узрев прозрения блеск, уйти за горизонт.
Над темною водой увидеть черный лес,
И, ощутив покой, восславить лунный блеск.
И в отблесках зари Сысерти алый свет,
Почувствовать себя Частью природных сил.
В мистериях ночей познать своё нутро,
Найти во мраке свет.
В себе разжечь огонь.

Человек и Север
Холодная ночь, отблеск луны, сияние звезд сбивает с пути,
Идти без разбора, сквозь частокол елей,
только от смерти уже не уйти.
Лишь видно, как ветер ломает деревья в мерцании звезд и черного неба,
Откуда ты шел - не найти уж дорогу,
Все скрыто под мрачным сиянием снега.
Идти всё вперед, дальше от леса, но дальше лишь мгла ледяная повсюду,
А ночь все темнее, снег холоднее
И вьюга поет колыбельную песню:
- Следуй за мной, следуй за мной !
- Я покажу тебе белый покой,
- Ложись, отдохни с дороги, герой,
- А ты, снег, его одеялом укрой"
Тучи скрыли последние звезды, закрыли глаза, чтобы вам не мешать,
Лишь лес бесконечный, холодный и чуждый
Зовет тебя дальше с ним поиграть.
Без сил, как подбитый, упал и смирился, ты проиграл в этой борьбе,
И вьюга сказала:
- Держи меня крепче!
- Ты знаешь, обратно не выйти тебе"
- Следуй за мной, следуй за мной,
- Мы станем с тобой отличной семьей,
- Кости твои побелеют весной
- Ты обретешь здесь вечный покой"
Там, где опавшие листья питают собой холодную землю,
Где бурные реки прокладывают новые русла,
Где скалы возносятся в небо, а сосны впиваются в почву,
Среди гор и бескрайних уральских лесов,
Там воскресну Я.
