1. Dreamless Eye
2. the Blood of Icons
3. Age Eternal
4. The Celebrant
5. Sink to the Center
1. Dreamless Eye
breathe into the sleep
autumn leaves come crashing down
bled eyes stare into the deep
stars collapse within the mind
of one of all
of unborn gods within
stone caress
shapeless faith entombed
empires wither crashing down
emerge throbbing in the womb
beating wings in quantum skies
of one of all
of unborn gods within
stone caress
arms raised arms open wide
dreamless open lidless eye
there is no where no where to hide
dreamless open lidless eye
arms raised open wide
there is no where to hide
doomed blessing anointed one
acolyte to the nameless
2. the Blood of Icons
shrine-entomb to enthrall
burning the veil of icons
offer blood in the veins
to the unknown one
martyr spirit and soul
in exile from the gods
to the lost
(chorus)
blood of icons
blood of icons
crucified nailed to our cross
nailed in ecstasy
alter
blood of icons
void
within and without
pulsing vast enigma
riddle that can't be solved
birth to the dogma
martyr spirit and soul
in exile from the gods
to the lost
(chorus)
hallowed in the grave
adorned within their hate
abstain to evade
questions of all
crumble to dust
abstain to evade
questions of all
the blood of icons
3. Age Eternal
hymns of old
of dust and bones
beggars and kings on bended knees
notes eternal play
to cowards and the brave
to saints and sinners all the same
gnashing brilliance
obeying nothing
in all directions
grasping shadows
deafening silence
opaque cacophony
atomic nerves ablaze
ablaze
silent prose
cons composed
millennia unfold into release
sail seas of time
in flesh and blood stewards sublime eternally
4. The Celebrant
more distant than the faintest star
never seen
louder than voices of gods
deeper than the farthest eyes can breach
closer than the nearest breath
(chorus)
eyes nose tongue
eyes nose tongue
flora of ancient spirals above
invoke the space of centuries
voices unmouthed and unadorned
nevers alive in the absence of time
awaken the celebrant
worship awakened mystic sublime
contructs weaving silence entwined
tears stream into the chalice of worlds
without reason embracing the throng on the lost
(chorus)
alone-tears stream in the the chalice
unfold-unravel the substratum
awakened-celebrant witness to the end
alive-awakened witness to the end
5. Sink to the Center
sink to the center
while the world
devours itself
ensnares enthralls entrances
spinning off axis
hurling and crashing
stills on a screen
dreams careen
hatred is the birth of two
sink to the center
all while the world
devours itself
cherished ideas and beliefs
in immense complex
dragging our hearts
to resist defeat
defeat is salvation
