PROFETUS LYRICS

1. The Sadness of Time Passing

The fiery shades of autumn
Drowned in heavy darkness
I breathe with these old walls of grained wood

Falling under weight of grey skies
Pushed by the iron hand of time
The house lays silent like the beatings of this hollow heart

The timelessness of grief
The sadness of time passing

The blue dust of gentle rain
Dripping from leaves and eaves
Spirited away in a mere reflection of your world
The sound of writing against the night

The timelessness of grief
The sadness of time passing

The golden hues of lone lantern
Delicate and dim piercing through
Darkness and light
Death and birth

2. Nostalgia

My life
Came like the fog
From those tall hills
And like a dew
It will disappear
In these endless fields of grass
I pass
This funeral shroud of being
And the scars
Laid in golden dust

"Over this journey, ill
And over fields all withered,
Dreams go wandering still."

I return
To the lonely
Wooden halls
The plains of bliss
And solitude

The barren wastes of the transient

3. Momentary Burial

Come, to the lonely wooden halls
Into the endless sunset
Of these fleeting moments

Come, taste the evening chill
Of autumn's nightfall
Shivering of quiet darkness

Come, and reach for the temple
From the silenced darkness
This solemn glow of tears

Come, and return to the world
Empty of time
Leave no footprints behind

4. Northern Crown

I fell
And gazed through the firmaments mirror
Devouring the beauty that the night sky hides

I drowned
In its endless recollection
Searing thoughts of a journeying soul
A passing rhyme

Torched by the northern flames of the sun
The pale breath of this lonely winter night
All I have ever dreamt this nothingness soon hides
Weaving the saddest song of all

Silent
As the wind that blows
On the hearse of a nightly storm
A song of sleeping waves
Under the white bed of snow

5. Tiarnia

There is no other world there is
And the leafless branches
Became my fingers

On the forest floor
In the darkest green there is
After the pouring rain
I sat on the moss and stone
And the darkness danced

The world becomes
Of her instinct
Pouring like rain
On spruce and rock

Nothing else exists
Than her words
Weaved on the spider's web
As she dances

My thoughts
Like clouds they travel
Over the longest starlit night

Thoughts
Cracking like dry branches

The viper tongues
Licked my ears clean
And I heard the sounds of this world
Holy as the rowan berries

She breathes under the waves
As the labyrinth unravels
And can see the stars

"I am the light that shall guide you to darkness."
