The Accelerationist

Sacrifice, the martyr waits in line
Second sight, the universe alight
How could I abide this fate
Holy realm in slow decay
Guiding hand and inner voice
Time to make the only choice
And with sword and torch in hand
The hero tames the shadow land
Even as mothers weep
I wake the titans from their sleep
Only you could get there
Only I could see the end
Only you could be here
I am caught between the worlds
Only you could get there
Only I could see the end
Only you could be here
I am caught between the worlds
You're wasting your time my friend
You're wasting your time
You're wasting your time my friend
That much is clear
You're wasting your time my friend
You're wasting your time
You're wasting your time my friend
That much is clear
A journey for the years
The last sunrise
Before my eyes
Only you could get there
Only I could see the end
Only you could be here
I am caught between the worlds
Only you could get there
Only I could see the end
Only you could be here
I am caught between the worlds

Morpheus
04:34
|
|||
Cold
Awake
Familiar the shape
Black
I know this place
Oh and here we go again
I can feel the shadows
Touch my skin
Though she is here
I cannot summon her spirit now
Though I'm awake
I lay reposed and still somehow
Through the eye of Nyx
Hypnos' many gifts
Morpheus' cast light
The colour of the night
Okay, I've been here before
Dark
Alive
Another shadow guide
Tonight
Torrent of fear
Vision unclear
They brought me to this place
Chamber of sand
Dust in my hand
Friends inanimate
When I awoke
Silence I spoke
I was held in place
The next thing I saw
Crescendo and awe
But I was strangely calm
Though she is here
I cannot summon her spirit now
Though I'm awake
I lay reposed and still somehow
When the moon does fall
Her light will swallow all
And turn the earth to salt
When the dream does break
I face another day
And I watch it slip away

Mirror Dream
07:25
|

Oh heart of gold
Oh pale rose
Oh Silver ghost
Oh cast in stone
I was born in time
To wander in the night
How pale she was
A ghost visage her smile
And I was just a child
Ethereal and wild she was
In this haven shines
Ever silver ever silent
An agent of the light of dusk
Watches me
That was just a dream
And innocence it seems
Was nothing but a distant memory
Oh heart of gold
Oh pale rose
Oh silver ghost
Oh cast in stone
I remember the silver soft light
Caretakers magic and chill to the night
An ancestral vigil and warmth over me
Before the mirror dream
You know I'm afraid
And I feel ashamed
And I am small before the world
I have seen in mirror dreams
The malice in the eyes of kings

Minutes compound
Hours rewound
These conspire, create
Every living day
Invoke the word
Impose your will
Lighthouse stand alone
Guidance and soul
Teacher light the way
Fleeting escape
Bleeding hearts arise
Youthful and unwise
Universe in mind
Live behind your eyes
Naive dignified
User and the blind
Universe in mind
Live behind your eyes
Behind your eyes
Still I feel demons grow
They possess my very soul
Knowingly I feed the beast
I consent while they feast
Novice
Novice I am
Novice
Novice I am
Still I feel demons grow
They possess my very soul
Invoke the word
Impose your will
Minutes compound
Hours rewound
Teacher light the way
Fleeting escape
Invoke the word
Impose your will
Lighthouse stand alone
Guidance and soul
Teacher light the way
Fleeting escape
Still I feel demons grow
They possess my very soul
Knowingly I feed the beast
I consent while they feast

Mockingbird
07:21
|
|||
Oh the countless nights and songs we'd sing
Smoke and words and laughter simple things
Stoke the fire glowing timelessly
The frost and coloured lights in the air we'd breathe
The sky would turn and we would come alive
And we would die with honor side by side
Lonely is the world
Joker mockingbird
That's just the way it goes
Painful even so
Old memory tells the story differently
They lay beneath the mire carelessly
And all the dreams they'd had of legend earned
And everything they believed they deserved
And all gold just for them waiting there
Would pale before the cross that he must bear
Frost
Moonlight
Trust
Starlight
Lonely is the world
Hallowed mockingbird
That's just the way it goes
Painful even so

Kingmaker
06:44
|
|||
Soldier of fortune
Decider of fate
He carries the life-givers weight
The mountain before him
Bestowed him his name
The Kingmaker will rise again
The sword and the story
The talismans eye
His destiny catches the light
He is born of the ghosts of the land
From the dead and the falling sand
The priest and the pagan
Contend for his soul
The passage to young from the old
The weight of the burden
Of human disdain
The virtuous suffer in vein
He is born of the ghosts of the land
From the dead and the falling sand
Like a blaze, astral fire
In the wake of desire
In the realm of the gods and men
He is made of the stones and the trees
He is forged by the will of kings
Understand he is born of the ghosts of the land
From the dead and the falling sand
Like a blaze, astral fire
In the wake of desire
In the realm of the gods and men
He is made of the stones and the trees
He is forged by the will of kings
He is born of the ghosts of the land
From the dead and the falling sand
Like a blaze, astral fire
In the wake of desire
In the realm of the gods and men
In the realm of the gods
In the realm of the God and man

Remnant
05:17
|
|||
In the age of reason
Dilution of the mind
The Scientists imprison us in time
As man walked through the old world
The wonder we enjoyed
The subject and the magic he employed
I am a traveler through pages of prophecy
I wander between the worlds
The carrion traditions
The death of ancient tongues
How civilized and sapient we've become
I will guard this remnant
A power frozen still
And keep her from beneath the grinding wheel
I am a traveler through pages of prophecy
I wander between the worlds
I will guard this remnant
Spirit of the tome
Breathing in the earth below
In the twilight gathered
Shadows on the wall
Breathing life into us all
I'll fulfill the prophecy
Holy seer
Spirits of apostasy and light
I'll fulfill the prophecy
Holy order
Spirit of her sanctity tonight
I will guard this remnant
Spirit of the tome
Breathing in the earth below
In the twilight gathered
Shadows on the wall
Breathing life into us all
I will guard this remnant
Spirit of the tome
Breathing in the earth below
In the twilight gathered
Shadows on the wall
Breathing life into us all
