Album Lyrics
1. Painters of the Tempest (Part I): Wyrmholes
(Intrumental)
2. Painters of the Tempest (Part II): Triptych Lux
[Movement 1: Creator]
Come forth dark herald
Bringer of light
Bourne by the burning swans…and his plague breath
Creator
Of the dream coil, a halo aloft as hands entwine
Painters of the tempest, with their red hands
The world their canvas
Through the mist of the stormglass…
And Bruegel dreamt the angels above
As Bosch danced in earthly delight
Angels fall…
Into the canvas
Reaching for the light
Heaven is empty
…and all the beauty is here
Upon this bone palette
The sway of nine-tails
Layered lashings of euphoria and chaos
Triptychs unfold like wings
As the arms of our fathers bear the weight of what they’ve done
Anti-matter-martyrs
Warmth of life
Where they sing of fire
Children’s eyes… fore they all shine
As tears rise, oceans of flame billow
When all dreams lose hope…
And Brueghel wept for the fading sun
Where have all the angels gone?
Angels fall…
Into the canvas
Reaching for the light
Heaven is empty
As hell below
And hell below
Painted by ghosts
Lords of lifeless eyes
In this garden of wilted flowers
Vultures spake the mother tongue…
[Movement 2: Cynosure]
Hear the children
Breathless sleep
Where they dream a new day
Echoing…
Oh when they dream
Ebb and flow… free falling
Beautiful and calm…
And fragile, and whole
Where they dream a new day
Through the coil they course and carousel
Echoes…
Hear the lost children
Hear the children sing
Through the coil they carousel
Within this stained glass womb
They sing with open minds…
Within this stained glass womb
They see with open minds
The event horizon and beyond
[Movement 3: Curator]
A wasteland so barren, haunted by a sea of pale faces
The city of lost children, raising their death-shroud flags
Can you hear the redrum pounding? The heartbeat of many as one…
Curator, father… what have we become?
Radiance, blinding horizon
The brilliant sunrise
Their horizon, where they seize this life
Our children…
Painters, they are
They are, the change
Painters…
3. Painters of the Tempest (Part III): Reveries from the Stained Glass Womb
(Intrumental)
4. Pyrrhic
Of blood and time within these veins
Pulsing the dim, thundering…
Upon the pale horses crying, surreal
Beksinski’s hooves cascading heaven
O blind fortune
Darkness favours the brave, the fallen… carrion
Bring forth the stars and tear down the sky
Blackest sister of Evenfall
From evening gown to armour
Your skin is so cold…
Onwards, bright eyes and gilded hearts
We rise and we fall
From fire to ice, blind in defiance
We race the sun..
O fortune, how long must we dirge to breathe life? How long?
How long?
Blackest sister of Evenfall
From evening gown to armour
Your touch is so cold…
Glorious tidings through sacrifice
The long hard road through hell… at what cost?
Pilgrims to kings, of nothing but pain
Our hands are full yet our hearts are empty
To the moths we pray, the crippled chorus… we despair
The rise, the rust of icons, gods of dust within us
Blackest sister of Evenfall
From evening gown to armour
Forever ours…
O fortune, how long must we dirge to breathe life? How long? How long?
How long?
Cold, colder
Ghost light lips trace my scars
Serpents of the earth, feast… my heart
I decay
Colder, cold… decay
5. Devour Me, Colossus (Part I): Blackholes
Citadel, of hope and white fire
Hearken, a choir for kings… transcendence
Crowned in teeth and severed wings
Is this the end, the end of the flesh?
My prison and my salvation
A call from the void, pale tentacles
Enthroned, alone, dying
Down with my draped leeches… oh lover
Melancholia…
You fill my lungs
Am I undone?
Where I swallow the light
Drown me in your arms, so deep
Drown me in your arms
Abyssal wyrmwell
Fathomless…
Drown me in your arms…
Anatomy of space and time
Gathered in veiled depths… descendant
Are these God’s tears in this pitch black tomb or the pain of my memories?
Of all suffering, awake architects
The mother, the father, the eye
Trumpets bellow, the ripples transfigure
Wretched am I…
White eyes and blue lips, lover
Devour me…
Drown me in your arms
Abyssal wyrmwell
Fathomless…
Drown me in your arms…
Drown me in your arms
Abyssal wyrmwell
Fathomless…
A burning gauntlet held to her breast
In her arms the phoenix lay blackened in mourning
A purging of ashes down her hourglass figure
Inscribed on my heart, -Devour me, colossus-
Scent of the earth
Touch of the light
Here, where colours collide
This blackhole ignites
My world in bloom
Flesh to flowers, blood to rivers
My breath to the wind
The stars steal my eyes and the sun sears my mind
This blackhole ignites
My world in bloom
Here I stand, citadel… here I stand…
Here where colours collide
This blackhole ignites
My world in bloom
Scent of the earth
Touch of the light
Here, where colours collide
This blackhole ignites
My world in bloom
My world in bloom
In bloom…
6. Devour Me, Colossus (Part II): Contortions
