Eye 05:23
That face always finds me That formless body consumes mine That voice is a born liar That breath, that sigh That poison crawls into my eye A hiss fills my ears My body restrained, my vision clouded Fumes have covered every light A sting pulls the tears My hands resist but find no purchase I'd give my blood to claim my sight The shimmer is the snake That crawls into my eye Slowly, crawl into my eye face of smoke Poisoned sigh Snake of fume Finds my eye Crawls into my eye

Ascending 05:45
Awake and petrified, I fail to find a breath Transparent soil has claimed me whole A single glimmer dives and cuts me in the depths The line and sinker find my soul The spirit rises while the body drifts away A spectral angler offers light The spirit rises while the body drifts away Bifurcation marks the flight The stinger burns me in my cold and lonely cell A final parting as I fall A single glance exchanged, I bid my soul farewell My head goes down, I give you all Free form in water Free form in light

Arrows Fall to stone Old roads Overgrown I travel alone Hear winds Toss and throw Harrowed Soul will grow I travel alone I travel alone

Galleon 06:09
A storm A vision It haunts my every dream A promise Rises And unfolds in front of me My will To reach you Will guide me through the fray While cries Lure me They hunt their walking prey I exist between the light and lurking shadow I hold my breath and tread this dangling road The void is skulking It stalks me where I stride Wild and erratic Are the calls from every side My pathway Narrows And warps beneath my feet Move Or be swallowed By the gloaming from beneath I exist between the light and lurking shadow I hold my breath and tread this dangling road Faceless voices draw me near I'm speechless in the sounds My galley is the tightrope Over dark and deadly grounds The gorge is endless My stomach twists and turns The sun Is relentless Skin and heart both burn The wind Whispers Its wisdom fills my bones I step I listen My balance is my own
5.
Long Road 05:17
The fire engulfs my body As the trembles slowly fade I broke a path behind me With the one thing I could trade I paid with blood and flesh to pass these unforgiving thorns These scars will remain as my soles conquer gravel It's a long road to travel It bends past the sunlight That parches my tongue Crimson sweat will douse me As dust fills my lungs My dripping hands will leave a trail no matter where I go These scars will remain as my soles conquer gravel It's a long road to travel

about

The soul resists the pressing darkness.
It can rise from the depths through force of will.
But there is no help in this.
There is only a constant struggle to remain.
It's a long road.
