The key to the kingdom Is a chord in the rite A song for the artless For the dark to turn white In the dissonant soul In the strange and bizarre It's where we reach our star A tribute of sorts is Just to keep life alive A warning for all now For the fit and deprived In the dissonant soul In the strange and bizarre It's where we reach our star Step around me in one way Now With your impermanent skies

To Burn 03:09
All along the branches its eyes puncturing sight In the deepest silence its steps slashing the night And All it's nooses set him to burn Uncontrolled Don't lose sight, don't lose track - no Out from all the edges there's the spirit of fright It's the apogee across the soil that cried Raining in blood Raining in blood - again Rain upon the souls that bent
3.
Now it's time to go From the place where time will stand still Leave when time will stand for the hour From the place where time will be still Mind is the state of the I And it's drenched with pride Sinfully snide No one left to go And they trust themselves with no will There's no joy in dying while hopeless In the place where time will be still A word of wisdom from quiet man Leave before the setting sun Mind is the state of the I And it's drenched with pride Sinfully snide

Through the years of the ageless wood Earth reclaims their second lives Through the years of the ageless wood Hell will claim their second lives Segregated souls of freaks Where silence is meeting endings Living in the life of when The age lost - in question As a corpse with eyes, a cell Rotting men due to be mourned Epitaph from no friend Tepid pale skins to be worn As the life form ascends Bodies summing up your form. Widening branches as hands You're a sentient, a sky spurn Repugnant gist of odd ends Where silence is meeting endings Living in the life of when The age lost - in question As a corpse with eyes, a cell Let this erratic mind be free Oh, Enma - Oh, Enma Song of peace to soothe the dead Oh, Enma - King Enma Where silence is meeting sensing Sinking through the endless well The age lost - in question As a corpse with eyes, a cell

Sun 03:35
Only sun will catch your sight Shadowed by the core of fright All the ghouls and men alike No one's driving back with light And the forest will rise Under one fiend's glow With the suicidal sawn Into a lifeless spawn
6.
Rain - Opens nights Rain - Falling skies When all is gone Clouds over sunset Rain - Covers light Rain - Dropping wild When all you have clouds over sunset And at twilight You can see clear I won't mind When there's dust here There's an image that shows when the image is shattered We're not so rotten and deaf We don't seem prepared for the life that we're after But won't choose dying instead Rain - Mirrors light Rain - Falls in kind And what you have Is watching the sunrise

In Effect 03:07
It's madness in effect Sadness is prey It's black and white and gray Sadness is prey Cuts through the day And lets us see decay It cuts through the day It's madness in effect Cuts through the day And lets us see decay Sadness is prey It's tragedy in spades A walking gloom Separating days with fresh blood left its way It's every light that fades Still in the womb A sacrifice unpaid and all we see is Cut through the day It's black and white and gray Sadness is prey It's madness in effect

Light Stream 03:43
Nothing I see is a sign from the dead It's just a gift from those whose eyes scream I know what's left for me to do here I won't despair It's desuete I'll be the loan To pay their debt I finally see the air From those who taught me how to dye borderlines In this light stream I can see the debris It's all that's left for me to find Caught in what appears to be an end for Their empty deaths They're turning tides For all that's left Is feeling life Seeing its means are in stride - last encore Watching its eyes open wide - last encore One last song to sing for the pain I can't redeem (Words on a Wing) And see the creature as a whole I finally see the air From those who taught me how to dye borderlines

Run 03:28
Swore to save the dawn Blind me With your opposing sun Here to pay their debt Burn me Until there's nothing left And the sky fell down All the way Now in piles of sand I see Remains of lifeless ends Death is all around And I'm On the opposing ground And the sky fell down All the way Fire (Light me again) Put your hands over your eyes Till the danger's gone Fire (Light me again) Pull some dirt over your eyes Till the danger's gone And the sky fell down All the way And the sky fell down All the way And his eyes fell out All the way And the sky fell down All the way
10.
As the blood will fill the sky And death's a dying art There's the pain that you'll outlive To hear the birds sing from the start This one time intertwined with yours I'm in the sky, I'm the dirt, I'm the light In this realm that's shy to touch I can feel all as one I hope you'll hear my song of peace 'till you will never feel so numb This one time Intertwined with yours I'm in the sky, I'm the dirt, I'm the light Rhythm created Around the empty pages

about

The album follows the story of a blind man who tries to bring peace to the dead, traveling every day from a remote village to a suicide forest in order to bring some tranquility to the spirits that died there. Once the kindness of the soul makes its way into a higher realm, all the negative aspects that remained in the forest conjure up the beast. The blind man tries to warn the village of their impending doom, while singing his songs of hope and sorrow.
