about

From the album Hate, Love & Sorrow, released in 2008

lyrics

To cast the stones beneath full moons
And stumble down to brighter tunes
So much to hide
Though it may seem
Too deep for those who never dream
Open the gates, the flood begins
I try the light but forced to dim
No substance I can ever hold
No doubts that I have ever told
Two ways to choose
Or lay amongst the runes

From dusk to dawn in doom
No flowers ever bloom
A starkness grates and shreds
To cast amongst the runes

Staring into outer space
In which no feelings can replace
Without connection I must try
To bide my sense, never deny
To tones that ring inside unread
That can't replace the drones instead
I drift and force myself to see
That no one takes it all from me
Two ways to choose
Or lay amongst the runes

As time stands still
Nothing ever fills
Through the golden age
From an empty page
As I sit in dust
To a vision's lust
Upwards I must gaze
Before Odin's rage
