1. Into Red
In the smallest hour
Night’s black like obsidian
From the depth
Of white tipped waves
Comes streams of dreams undone
We tread tired and true
From pale green to blessed blue
In depths of deepest red to the
Cold edge of nothingness
Come see what we can be
Come see what others see
My track to tread
Day not to dread
So hard and edged
Blind innocence
I see what we should be
I see what others see
My track to tread
In deepest red
Ardouous test - unwillingness
2. Wake
With a gaze that pierces all
Earth stone and flesh
Over time the simple mind can
Pass the test
For the sign for the simple sign
That we, we know whats next…
For the night, for the simple sight
Of whats left is left
Are we waiting for
A time to hold on to?
As we step beyond
The Hardened truth shines through
Pull the drape on the shadowed wake
Violet silk to black
Sweet scent of incense seals
Your return to ash
3. Towards An End
For the time we spend
Full of life’s regrets
Just another chance to
Hedge your bets
Understated words
You‘ll never learn to try
Your dreams
When I think of all
The times we spend
Looking back
Not towards an end
Chasing ghosts
Demons of our past
4. Dread
Behold the ancient sky
Rise, the stars subside
Fall, face the night
Seven dark sins, roll dice
Belated blessings pass by
Tendrils of life running dry
The dread of the sunrise arrives
Untold, darkling skyscape
Breath now, absorb a last landscape
Horizon, four horses, ground shakes
5. Eyesore
At times overstated
To think that they’re related
Caught you in their eye
Length of life expected,
Cruelty and introspection
Have they caught your eye
6. Demon
When the time comes over me
Understand no looking back
In the darkness you will see
Reach in front and take my hand
As we march out to the sea
Understand no looking back
No reflection wax eyes shut
Looking on its time for death
Certainty eternal sleep
See the life drain from my hand
No reflection wax eyes shut
Life for me is coming to and end
And your time is running slow
Join the loved ones far below
Stare on to the dark and know
You‘ve no more time
7. Starling
I find myself standing here again
And things I thought
Would be a little changed
But in a world of opposite intentions
Who really cares
Over and over and over again
Hands to feed me, hands to beat me
Mild as the rain, rays of hope on an
Otherwise dismembered day
The effort now is distant
Reborn through another sunny sky
But on the face of things
Was it ever worth the time
Why am I standing here
I know things will always change
A no win situation
Whoever really cares
One a day of infinite flowers and sunshine
Will the rust of tomorrow break the strain
I’m still standing here
Nothing has really changed
An outward indication
Of one who really cares
8. December
9. Another Breed
Something changes
Everything rearranges
All colors they fade
(And black is the shade)
Beauty was lost
Counting the cost in the
Mirror of your lies
There’s no disguise
It’s something inviting
Always never-ending
Bleeding, through every pore
Visions of dark dreams
Tortured, empty scream
Filling the urgent need
Release me
Another breed
10. Frailty
River, autumn day
Pale sunlight shades the way
Sweet silence of the dark stream
Breaks through another heartbeat
Cold colours of the hillside turn
To gray
Dare to think the unthinkable
Scared to step through invisible
Calling out for peace within
Perspective on the dark days
A life hanging in the balance
sways
Dark hours will change none
