silent empire III

Rivers of Eden

The air is pure

the grass, it breathes

each blade, a whisper is calm

and trusting in it’s place

I dig my toes into the earth

and lie beneath the trees

It was then I found

the stars were made for me

It was then I found

that I can finally dream

believe

That we are for each other

and we lay our plight

in it’s fullness is carried

away

Our villains turn to lovers

and the end of strife

end all strife

in the endless beauty of day

Given hope to another

Gone are the moments when we fought 

our brothers, sisters and daughters

sons of mothers

Heal the wars of our fathers

We are for each other

gone with each pain

gone with each pain

I will

Believe

Aurora

everlong

for what was lost

a past of shadows

your crimson stains

tell a heavy cost

my lonely love

come with us

To kill the night

and sail the lights

so that all these voices

no longer wage in your mind

trading hate for life

where songs collide

and when all these battles

are one and the same

may we ride out among the fray

Sovereign towers o they dance along

lending peace with a fierce shade of awe

but cosmic outcomes will only find you 

if on your way

Sharing colors will lead you home

so chase each light 

with that damn flame of soul

a song to form the dawn

Show this heart breathes endless fire

Glen Coe

where tragedy ruled

I burned down my fortress

and became something new

Embers declare their rise

from a fate that I met

Ashes rebuild, remind

of a journey that ends

ah, forfeit

fearful ancient lies

fist to sky

can you find

it lies beneath

your right to breathe

we started

cradled, on all sides

ah dispel this fiction that you would break

The likes to brave

Set in our lines

where beyond all lies against

if they shatter upon then

you stand beside me

and right here 

we lay to none

hear me now

Ready in light

for a pure heart must defend

If this all is for nothing

you came to show that were out there

defend, defy

hear me now 

Hold

Vestige of our divide

what a sight, as all fell

Taken-in historic binds

and march into hell

The heir to

Haunted and tortured

by rhythms of shame

you are not the fullness of all 

your mistakes

for the young and tried

set alight

they will never die

Fearful ancient lies

fist to sky

can you find

it lies beneath

The likes to brave

Cut down beside

siphon the lungs

and condemn

O’ stand freely

Hunted I know

surrounded in vain

resist

Take in the air

winds of the glen

where mountains defy

and bask in

the last of a tyrant’s offense

fist to sky

can you find

it lies beneath

Fearful ancient lies

fist to sky

can you find

it lies beneath

The likes to brave

Hold.

Lords of Waters Deep

a moment of peace

to see

tears are might

forming us

we are lords of waters deep

To finally be

one who wanders from the shore

drown this wretch so insecure

and send regards to what I believed

was me

I found my own

where the fallen eyes are looking up

they allowed my wounds to speak

evicted a broken withered love

and carried me into the deep

and this was

where I belong

with the phantoms underneath

to live by the undertow

where the vagrants dance alone

Drown me with those on the edge

Raise the tide

sending relief

as leaves

keep blowing by 

and the clouds cry out

I’ll stand by till you trust your feet

O’ be still young maker

Take my hand 

now from the storm

as chaos breeds here and nothing more

to face the fears

of creatures beneath, as we

Have found our home

with the vagrant saints of never was

They can mend all scars, you see  

the stranded, longing, broken ones

capture the strength of the deep

and this was

where I belong

we; the phantoms underneath

to live by the undertow

it was calling 

Drown me with those on the edge

With the lords of water I am

The Magna Colliseo

and it paved the ground itself

We sanctified a grand design

that was built by those who knelt

With all eyes

Lead to walk these royal halls

all to rob us of our intent

To bow before what had been done

and destroy the innocence

We’re still learning the might

each time we grow

still finding the strength of

this solid stone

I know 

so many trials have begun

that we should not face alone

We’re still learning the fight

with every seed we sow

still finding the strength

that we call our own

How long before we tread

upon our fate?

Through trials we will become

With all eyes

on sidelines

waiting to be immortalized

Given everything, I can see it

I see everything left to fight

but with no mercy for those before

we only serve and share untimely

demise

There’s a harmony here

can you feel the chord?

It dwells

in the depths and it reminds

the burden our own

to carry the weight

for those who chose to hide

The passing on of failure reigns

defines our future-self

but in the end may we see

we stood more than we fell.

With all eyes

Ode of She

journeys will falter, I ask you keep breathin

Take in the view, O the air surrounds you

when facing the wild

honest and true

I hope that you fight

till light takes your rage

so the valleys beyond us

will know of your name

and you rebuild, what you lost; you reclaim

in the hour of all torment

with a thunder to rise from your gaze

Take me where light fades

when silence fills the veins

uncover the scars you would hide

so lovely

let these secrets break

I’m holding on to you tonight

Holding on to you  

make it through the night/from the otherside

No, don’t let go

You’re not alone

here, in the darkness,

may shadows find a heart still beating

Hold. 

Just once more,

tell the storm,

here in the darkness

may shadows find a heart still beating

Oh, here in the darkness

may shadows find a heart still beating
