Where the Shadows Adorn
Cast from the maw of dying skies My blood and pain be upon you And with velvet the oceans rise A thousand shades of waning night, I fall to ash A requiem spilled from damned eyes Onto cold and forsaken lands For there is nothing left to worship, I know This beloved hell be my haven to mourn Lulled by hymns that blind and curse my soul Into the arms of infernal thorn I dream beside the dead I speak their ancient tongue Sanctified in endless rain In silence forevermore I sink beneath the sands Withered bone and empty hands To wake where the shadows adorn

My soul seeps into the arid soil I purify in the ichor below The bottomless wells Of buried dreams and forgotten years A eulogy of portraits damned Painted in blood and tears A vestige of words unspoken And lost stories left untold Of what could have been And what shall be no more Streaks of crimson cascade Through the oaken shadows peer Light my endless quest Down the halls of dismal drear As the moonlight mirrors the sea I gaze into a reflection cold and still The stars above rain upon my lifeless flesh And release me beyond the world at last My soul seeps into the arid soil I purify in the ichor below Open the ethereal gates Lure me to my longed rest Pierce my hollowed heart Bless me and be my death

Rot with me Beneath the darkness and mire In hallowed stone forever etched Vanished from the eye of the sun Crowned in glory and death Follow me - poisoned angel I wait for you int eh searing black I'll bury our fears far within the earth I'll drink your tears like wine Flow through me your river of pain This bitter elixir nourishes my veins Pale grew thy frost along my flesh I perish atop your sorrow's spectral crest Scarlet lips and hands snow-white Beheld upon the chasm of my chest I entreat you - fall into my caress With what of my formless soul is left

Clawing through the dust of dead gods I'll scatter my bones across the earth Like endless shards of broken glass Carving threnodies in the desert sod Of your grandeur - my weakness Stained palms and clouded sight Maybe one day you'll come to find The trail I hath left behind Woven in relics of the wreckage I sire By the frost of my dying breath May it guide you under moonlit skies Beyond the winds of death To where my bloodied knees Still lie bent for you To where my poisoned heart Still yearns for you Upon seas of deafened ears The emptiness of eyes As the dark becomes - so silently shall I Adornment of their waves Banished in the tide As idle shores grieve So silently shall I

A gust of callous breath and promise Before a shrine of haunting memoirs Of all I long to hold again Written in spells of Stygian starlight In words that paint eh distant ether And mask my wearied heart in ice Crystalline waves of evocation Descend from phantom fingertips To carry me far away from here From familiar rays of golden suns As poised before me the silhouette Beckons in silent tongue Paralyzed I lie in this enchanted shroud Buried alive, I close my eyes In her cold, inviting arms As tears fall from the heavens And flood this ruined cask To quench the deathless thirst Into the still of eternity, I sail Through ornate skies unknown These cursed wings my hearse Wring the blood from my veins Harvest the marrow from my bone And rest me upon a desolate apex Of solitude and stone

In bitter winds of our creation The dead wood writhes in disdain From the eyes of forgotten shrines Rain tears onto graves that beareth no name And I'll paint this pallid canvas in frost On a pilgrimage of harbored guilt and pain As the sun sets forever upon us all Sheltering my restless gaze A maze of recollection And effigies of weathered stone Of all the ruin we've come to beget And will never here atone This crown lay upon my head Fading with me into the everblack Of all we've come to reap To dream alone in endless sleep

This myriad of infernos I become The earth ablaze beneath my feet They fill my veins with streams of venom Saturating the night's stare with grief I walk the isles of my prized delusion Ascending the twilight stairs of sleep Where angels writhe with quivering wings Guide me through the veil of perennial dark And the voices that I once knew I lustrate in eidolon waves Next to the ghost of you The enigma of distant memory Gleaming ethereal eyes Pierce through me like daggers As death ends life

Embellish me in a hail of fire Dress my body in eternal scar With glowing eyes and honed claws Burn bright and sink into my skin Upon your throne Diadem of waning light Lift me into your ruins That inhabit the starless sky You are the caliginous voice The ghost beyond the mist The cry that bestills the night The shadowed lament "And leave me then to die In the dark of misery's hold Pierce me with jagged stares AS my body turns to stone Drowning under the scorn of time I lie bare and dormant in its flow And with my last cold breath I bid you my soul" I bid you my soul I soar with broken wings And paint your name across the clouds For every god to see
