Beyond a decennium
Our paths were once merged pure
A story of love and light
Our bonds tightened in the course
Sheathed in our desires
Desires that only rang true
Bringing into this reality
A small yet glowing heart of gold
Absolute purity, unconditional
Our roads diverged, but parallel
Our victories opposed, but kept close
Forgiven, eternally, the darkness waned
Once and for all
My only hope was to mend and love
Shrouded in regret, to hold you again
Illness and tragedy in reality’s wake
Many things I wish to change
If only I can have you back
We will meet again, in love and spirit
Let us interlock once again, forever
We will meet again

A promising tale, swiftly severed
Brought from within the haze
So quick to shut the book of confessions
So quick to resign and look the other way
The premise of resolve, simply within reach
But a reach beyond your reason
Awakening from my sleep
I find myself left in the cold
We were one, a unity amongst chaos
We held each other in light and dark
Continue down your path
And leave the smoke behind
The ones close to you
Left to ponder
Bridges reduced to ash
Far and wide, they burn
Leaping from the infernos
Eager to start new ones
Who will be next?
When will the next flint be struck?
Relieved only by your ego
Unaware of the torment you leave
You were the pinnacle of me
No longer
You were my salvation
No more
Thrice I have been wounded
By the touch of your blade
A final jab through my heart
Until nothing is left
Steal the air from my lungs
So that I may forget you forever

The quandary of existence
Everlasting adaptation, confusion
Living souls who wish to conform,
And the souls who choose the other path
Fallible, we are
Imperfect, weak
The gift of life and death
Fragility of the egoist
Plaguing the weak-minded
Failure to open the eyes
Failure to see the scheme
Damaging traits to your fellow man
Lashing out and pushing away
The pain inflicted, beyond the obvious
Blinded by ego
Your greed rings true
Your strength may lie elsewhere
But not here
I welcome those who realize
And I shall banish the false-willed
Drowning in yourself

You have lit for me a beacon
Set to guide me to transcendence
When I arrived it was a lie
And now behind me, a trail of ruin
I will fuel the fading stars
Bring from high a searing light
Set to guide you, now to blind you
Curse the child of the night
With each step that I have taken
I have trodden over virtue
You have led me up a mountain
So that you could watch me fall
I am famine
I am spite
I am dark
Leaving light
I am rest
I'm the end
I am ruin
Vindication for your soul
Scathing rays
Rake your skin
Kiss of death,
Let it in
I will fuel the fading stars
Bring from high a searing light
Set to guide you, now to blind you
Curse the child of the night
Scathing rays rake your skin
Kiss of death, let it in
Set to guide you, now to bind you
Curse you, child of the night
Is the final teaching done
When the two become just one?
Will I raise another son
To be the hate that I've become?

Ink runs dry
Is there nothing left to write
I'm static, I'm frail
Each day, dead time
I recall blank faces
Silhouettes I didn't care to know
Somehow they're even more distant
Memories buried far from home
If I'm mute
When I cry
If there's no one
To tell truth from lie
Will these echoes
Simply die
A fleeting thought
A fading sigh
Outside the winds are quiet
Water is stagnant on the ground
It seems as though the world has stopped
Is it the world or is my mind collapsing
Each day I'm waiting
Waiting for something to change
But longing is the only feeling
That's growing every day
If I'm mute
When I cry
If there's no one
To tell truth from lie
Will these echoes
Simply die
A fleeting thought
A fading sigh
Are all my days doomed to simply pass by
With nothing but the wind to hear each cry
I am a ghost
I am a whisper

Heiðinn - Spires

The bells that ring
From spires so grand
Do they reflect your god?
This fading sun
When it dies down
Will with it die your god?
My lifeless friend
Did you pass on
The scriptures of your god?
Or were they just
A veil surrounding
The voyage of your heart?
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me
What do you see in the dark
What do you feel in the numbness
When your breath left this place
Did it arrive at an ocean
Maybe a mountain to rest on
Or a valley to sleep
Was every dream that you had
Fulfilled with hallways of gold
Was every nightmare that plauged you
Crucified to let die
And do you hear the bells ringing
Do you remember your homeland
Or have we lost you in flesh
And also lost you in mind
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me
What do you see in the dark
What do you feel in the numbness
Was your belief that of a being
Or of a vision, of a yearning
Surely death cannot steal
That one last ripple of life
