ROSETTA LYRICS

1. Ryu / Tradition

Indulge securely this apology
Where silence is salient
Where silence is still
Indulge this offering
Forgive my silence
Embrace the atonement
Embrace the silent
Embrace the outpour
Vacate the angst
Atone and sing
Confess and rest your sweetly wings
Sometimes I think that these stars
Are calling me back, calling me home
Please accept this small offering,
The dim light of gods
Come now and rest
Come rest well
Sometimes I think these stars
Are fireflies of home calling me
In the silence I'll atone, collapse, embrace

2. Fudo / The Immovable Deity

Embrace those divine hands and sit
cocoon in the breath of our fire
Embrace our warmth
Share in this momentary laughter
Sing its praise
Come sit around this fire
Comes rest your woes
Wayfarer, let them guide you
From where only loss awaits
Place yourself on the pyre
And join us in our dance
Where is the voice
Where is the sound
Where is the whisper
Bring us he who lifts their mouth
Brings us he who takes copper from their eyes
Atone, and collapse
Gabriel sound your horn
Bless our souls

3. In & Yo / Dualities Of The Way

Embrace in the hands of the divine
Cocoon in its warmth
Embrace and share in a moment
And sing its praise
Come rest by a fire
Come rest your woes sweet wayfarer
Come rest from burdens embrace
First for a few moments allow
Me to express my ways
A creed of isolation in silhouettes
Oddly familiar, and oddly at peace
Quietly weeping, a dance in the breath of embrace
Quietly sleeping, never noticed
Quietly offering, a home for those lost souls
First for a few moments allow me to express my ways
A creed of salvation, one of disbelief by name
But faith in gracious movements
Are you quietly weeping
Are you quietly offering
A quick and quiet resolve
Glutton bested me
Actions of want and desire
Glutton bested me with roots bound reaches
To blend with those of no will

4. Oku / The Secrets

Salvation is meandering, like a wake eternal
Fireflies atone
Dance around and sing
Rest your wings martyr
Confessors of tales
Eternal of time
You kneeling there staring unknown
You smiling there at laughter unheard
You answering the voice of god
You on your fee, work the soil

5. Hodoku / Compassion

I can see you in the rear view
Fading into nothing now
Snapshots are blurred, subtext obscure
In time all memories drown
Still I have the road unfolding
Reaches like an epic tale
Echoes of last night ring in the twilight
A streak of light then in a flash it falls

6. Myo / The Miraculous

Fall
Is this gravity
Pull
While the light escapes those who reach
What's unseen in speechless hands
Gracious movements of collapse and dissolve
A resolution bathed in sound
Sometimes I think these are the stars of my home
Inaudibly versed
Aesthetic clatter
An oath plagued by thrusts
A false face to flatter
Fireflies atone and sing
rest your wings
Sing its praise
A resolution bathed in sound
Sometimes I think these are the stars of my home
Spread your wings, martyr

7. Hara / The Center

Fathom the angst, disappearing grace
Illusions of ease, perceptions of scorn
Inaudibly versed, ascetic clatter
An oath plagued by thirst, a false face to flatter
The dead air below, sand stalls the house
Men count the time so novel and sour, so novel and sour
Surrender yourself and thrive, said the wind
Swell said the sea
Grow old willow tree
Lift the copper from the eyes
And lift the silver from the tongue
Shed the skin, so gracefully
Inaudible verse, ascetic clatter
An oath plagued by thirst
A false face to flatter
In my silence I'll atone
And in my absence I'll collapse
Here I sit on the pyre
With all the things left unsaid
In paintings and vestiges, vestiges
Paintings, vestiges: aesthetic clatter
And oath plagued by thirst
A false face to flatter

8. Ku / Emptiness

[Instrumental]

9. Shugyo / Austerity

[Instrumental]
