All Are Hunted

I lie cocooned
Warm like a womb
I am never safe
My mind still plagues me
Shut out the world
My thoughts still hunt me
Like a wolf trapped
And waiting to be slaughtered
A crow entangled
In a net for vermin
I await my slumber
In comfort and fear
I am never safe
My mind still plagues me

The Bed
01:04
|

|
The nightmare never ends
my eyes are dry from tears spent
I will never wake up
in sleep there is no comfort
pouring out my mouth
I drink my own blood to sustain myself
the rain can not clean me again
the moon no longer shines
beating quickly to a stop
a pulse that should never have been
I am naked and vulnerable
the darkness opens my body
lungs torn asunder
but this is not my final breath
no ears to hear my cries for help
a beast I am born
a beast I shall be
far beyond the end

a cornered beast will bite
pull apart the ribcage
fangs sink deep
rip the heart out
consume the rest

a memory that never was
a memory that never will be
no proof of existence
fade away into the shadows
howls and calls fall to the earth
unheard for all eternity
gone forever
vanish
a memory that never was
a memory that never will be
no proof of existence
fade away into the shadows

Courage
01:34
|
|||
|
Shadow gathers before our eyes
We stand together, arms raised high
Fellow soldiers, my brothers
They look to me for courage
I give a cry for moral
For I am filled with more fear than they
Unfit to lead, scared and shaken
I must not falter for their sake
Raise my head as if proud
Though my heart withers

Fade away

hearts once beheld me
arms adoring received me
who could love this twisted animal?
the reverie; lost to time and nature
lie upon the ocean floor
solitude
until aroused from my dark dreams
the sea shall soon surrender her dead
selah

The Voice
01:04
|
|||
|
The wind carries once again
Your voice as clear as ice
Sharp and soothing
Painful, comforting
Never forgetting
Speak once again to me
As it was in days past
Sing again to your creation
Your wretched creation

Sleep Betrays Us
01:14
|
|||
|
we teach our young to be not afraid
we drown unto our sea of fear
we swear that death is not the end
yet we all tremble before the reaper
we condemn the uncertain
despise the ones in deepest sleep
for we all long for our release
the medicine that beckons my dreams
my dearest friend, silent companion
betray me again
nightmares
nightmares
nightmares
never ending
i am not bird
i am not beast
i am not man
i do not exist
i am bird
i am beast
i am man
i will never be
sleep betrays it's suitors
there is no comfort in this place
my love, you have forsaken me
heaven is shut, hell awaits

Sea Foam

Upon the shore
I miss Your voice
The wind, she howls
Much like myself
The storm clouds; black
My feathers mirror
The ocean roars
I have no strength
The love we once shared
Drowned, soon I shall follow
Father, hold me again
I am cold

Thirst Unending
01:42
|
|||
|
My stomach stirs with hunger
My soul is consumed with lust
My twisted tung drips with saliva
Parched, in need of sustenance
I thirst for truth
I seek, but do not find
I crave knowledge
It slips through my claws
Like sand to the wind
I can not rest in peace
Until I am satisfied.

A Beautiful Dream
01:06

I was known for who I am
Loved for the creature
Instead of the human I am not
Beneath the moon
Love beheld me
It was a beautiful dream

Crow's Commentary
00:52
|

|
Knocking at your window
But only for a treat
Or perhaps a gleaming treasure
To adore and to keep
Black-blue like the midnight sea
Clever, mischievous master of the sky
Poor human in the window
Who sees not, we share the same tone
In our eyes

Temporarily Placed

At the bottom
Down, down, down
T4 tail position
Alas, I am not disheartened
Bottom of the totem pole
Omega of the pack
I will make my own way
To form a family of my own
Alpha, am I at last

The Halls of Time
02:17
|
|||
|
Time bids the memories fade away
But pain always remains
regret lingers in every heart
that walks upon this ground
Dreams are frail and betray their suitors
seeking truth only invites a broken soul
So tread with caution all who will listen
Upon this treacherous road
Time beckons the to pain sink in
below the surface but never fades
so sleep to forget
but our minds smother us while we rest
we can never escape ourselves
we will never leave our fears behind
we soldier on and bear our burdens
to face our inner demons
Time is fair and cruel
like nature itself it bears no favor
as sand pours through fine glass
we fade to dust as we were made
four winds carry us to our eternal rest
fly on through the unknown
to sweet salvation

Cleansing
02:20

in my shame i try to hide
the stench of tears and sweat
of broken wings and bloody fur
of promises unkept
the rain i wash myself in
the wind who howls away
can not rid me of my stains
there is no comfort, only sadness
there is no comfort, only sadness
the rain i wash myself in
the wind who howls away
can not rid me of my stains

Tears of the Guilty
03:16
|

|
I was born to protect you
I swore to keep you safe from harm
To the god who I once served
I have failed
I hold you in my arms
The light has faded from your eyes
Who I once was, to innocence
I bid thee farewell
If I could die to bring you back
My throat would surely cease to sing
I place your body into the earth
no lullaby to sing you to sleep
Now my soul cries out for vengeance
Against the hands upon the clock
The mirror is my oppressor
My own blood is on my hands
Now slumber eternal
Rest in peace
No more shall your dreams betray you
