Old Moon 04:34
A warm breeze blows gently through The branches above the avenue As hazy dusk begins to fade The cloak of night falls down Is this my time? (Seconds fall like lead) Beneath old moon (Cold hands touch my head) Under this old moon Time releases me Under this old moon Leaf falls from the tree Standing on the old steps Worn by time and tread Staring through the gloom I see A horseman on the road ahead Is this my time? (Seconds fall like lead) Beneath old moon (Cold hands touch my head) Under this old moon Time releases me Under this old moon Leaf falls from the tree Come with me Time to go Leave behind All you've known Come and see I'll take you there To move on And lift the veil Under this old moon

Senses falter Feelings fade Muddied water Rusty blade The shaking hands The aching limbs The eyes that see A world gone dim Slowly sinking Rolling wreck No more oceans The last sunset Oh the way the light fades Tide draws low Rocks exposed This slack water Doesn't flow The silent fall Horizon swims The day forgotten As night creeps in Slowly sinking Rolling wreck No more oceans The last sunset Oh the way the light fades In the depths below Beyond the light No time or tide No time or tide In the frigid water deep With empty lungs And breathless sleep And breathless sleep Oh the way the light fades

The Mourning 05:52
The window and the mirror Draped in white winding sheets And time flew to her lying there On fleet, fast feet The night long vigil And each mourning prayer In droning answered pleas Out of tune and air The night long vigil And each mourning prayer Intoning sanctities For one who does not care To face her god She needed no support In prayers for the living To face her god She needed no support And words fall like stones The burning black wicked candles Lighting comfortless air And heads bowed in mock despair Mouthing mourning prayer The night long vigil And each mourning prayer In droning answered pleas Out of tune and air The night long vigil And each mourning prayer Intoning sanctities For one who does not care To face her god She needed no support In prayers for the living To face her god She needed no support And words fall like stones

Shards 04:34
I lost the light long ago I lost the fight that day I'm watching through the window A shadow from another place Unbound from all I cared for Under shadows I lay I'm standing here so hollow Indistinct without a face Near the light Are the shadows Here where all Shards wait I wandered like a pale ghost I wandered long, lost my way I waited for distant voice A calling to a better place The shards of glass that surround me Under feet they break I'm shattered like broken glass A thousand shards, a thousand pains Near the light Are the shadows Here where all Shards wait

Tethered 03:16
And so we come to The end of these days As the lights burn low The winter brings change As the years move along My power will fade Wasting in the twisting path Until there's no more days Cry for me I have no tears Waiting for My end years Each time around the sun And I'm here once more The cycle begins again And comes to a close Motionless and moving on I spin through these days Carried on the shifting tide But tied to one place Cry for me I have no tears Waiting for My end years

To hold you now In longing arms Feel you just once Two bodies touch I'm tired of waiting Shed my thorns If only for This moment Walk with me While all sleep The world is ours For this night Walk with me The world is ours To touch your face And feel you there Let us dissolve Into the night I want the motion I've lost the fight I only see You in my eyes Walk with me While all sleep The world is ours For this night Walk with me The world is ours
