Jovian Pt. 1

Beyond this barren field
I see the brightest star
She cannot warm my face
It’s light, alas, too far
Let this void take me
Asphyxiate my breath
And life pours from my eyes
To foretell my death

December is Gone
04:59
|

These lights dimmer each day
For the old soul to lament its loss
Should they glimmer like Polaris?
Only the red dwarf remains
Once a white grove was an esoteric land
Falling from heaven to clouds at my feet
Never again shall I see it through my younger eyes
Only a sharp cold remains
No… Now my December is gone
So many times has it withered away
Don’t ever let me forget of this day
Melted before me right after the dawn
Now my December is gone
Evergreen still ever-white and cloaked in ivory
But turns into an ashen bronze when Persephone returns
Can I, or will I, forgive the sun again?
For stealing my heaven of snow
These lights darken once again
No longer magic reflecting my heart
Never, O never forgive the sun again!
For stealing my wintery Zion
No… Now my December is gone
So many times has it withered away
Don’t ever let me forget of this day
Melted before me right after the dawn
Now my December is gone
This frigid season was my final one
Taken away at the sight of the sun
Melted before me right after the dawn
Now my December is gone

Taking the Black
03:42

Night gathers, and now my watch begins
It shall not end until my death
I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children
I shall wear no crowns and win no glory
I shall live and die at my post
I am the sword in the darkness
I am the watcher on the walls
I am the shield that guards the realms of men
I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch
For this night and all the nights to come
Now his watch has ended
His eyes now laid to rest
Now his watch has ended
His name lives in our hearts
Now his watch has ended
His sword under the snow
Now his watch has ended
And he rests evermore
The air blows ill wind
Winter is coming
(repeat)
See the war to the south
In the lush green land
As it burns to the ground
By the will of Five Kings
Fools for the throne
And the crown for the head
They do not see the blade
Of ice at their necks
Rising dead shall never pass
Our highest wall the north lord forged
Wights have come…
Winter has come
To the lush green land
Now the long summer’s gone
And the white walkers stand
Brothers ride beside me now
And slay the pale white creeping death

Vile blood flows from her neck
A steady stream between her breasts
This sense of hate
Exuding from a lustful mind
Paler skin now drenched in red
An aura passing from her eyes
She bled her life
While shackled to the chains of fervor
So unto the blessed Lilith
I beseech to meet carnality
Eroticism my mistress
And mortality my slave
Bow unto the cursed Lilith
Accept her magnificent lechery
Radiant is my demon of lust
Capitulation whets her heart
Dominant…
This seductress hanging before me
White and cold as bone
Haggard to her naked skin
But lips as soft as silk
So unto the blessed Lilith
I beseech to meet carnality
Eroticism my mistress
And mortality my slave
Bow unto the cursed Lilith
Accept her magnificent lechery
Radiant is my demon of lust
Capitulation whets her heart

Fated Prosperity
06:10
|

Parting hindrance
Conscious, steadfast
No longer tied
My beloved once again alone
Fled her nest without a pair of wings
Reach for heaven just to hit the ground
Freedom in your hands inside the pathless, clouded labyrinth
Passed the entrance
Find your footsteps
No longer lost
See your dreams unfurl
My beloved nevermore alone
Fled her nest and grew unyielding wings
Reach for heaven far above the ground
Freedom in your hands beyond the pathless, clouded labyrinth
Live your dreams fulfilled
From her past she has risen
Like a broken phoenix urn
History scarred her life
Still she carries undeterred
Paragon of courage, I shall hold her my most dear
We shall guide each other through this pathless, clouded labyrinth
To live and love – the two, impassable
You, the one fated prosperity
Passed your hindrance
Steadfast footsteps
Triumph is yours
Parting hindrance
Conscious, steadfast
Passed the entrance
Find your footsteps
No longer tied
No longer lost
Slowly healing
Kindred soul forever free

She Drowned in Shallott
09:10
|
|||
|
For tears she has come
In mirth she is gone
How cruel is my muse
She drowned in Shalott
I’m afraid
Of this heartache
I depend on
Just be gone
No more forlorn
Inspiration
Safe from the world
Imprisoned and listless
Confined in my woe
The price of art
For tears she has come
In mirth she is gone
How cruel is my muse
She drowned in Shalott
I’m afraid
Dangerous thoughts
I must conquer
Just be gone
I can’t suffer
This influence
The light of each eye turned cold as winter
The balm of union now old and bitter
Alone for eternity
A nightly dream of love returns to me
It is my heart they’ll never see
So long ago I felt love was true
Someone beneath the mask I never knew
And death was the only way
She drowned in Shalott
(And death was the only way)
