VIALS OF WRATH LYRICS

1. That Which I've Beheld

[Instrumental]

2. Journey Beyond The Flesh

To journey beyond the confines of this flesh
In communion with another
I wander neath a canopy of oak and pine

The allure of an October eve
Sees me tread amongst fallen leaves
My sorrows are lifted in the presence of the Divine

Let this feeling never cease
Tranquility and peace
In the forest will I be found

When death’s cold hand takes mine
May it be in such a time
Make my grave upon the highest mount

3. Revival Of The Embers

This glacial apathy
I must overcome
This fleshly desire
I am undone
This calloused heart beats now
But for how long?
To the dilemma of another
It hastens to numb

As smoldering embers weaken
A faith not fanned doth wane
Dying amongst the ashes
I must revive the flame
This earthen vessel
A dwelling place for the most high
Flawed and unworthy
Made pure by fiery trial

I offer myself once again
Yahweh M’Kaddesh
You are welcome here

4. Burning Autumn Leaves (Under A Harvest Moon)

As I stand here burning leaves
The aroma of autumn
Distinct and full of memories
Cold yet warming, like hidden sin
‘Tis death approaching
A season’s end
Grey skies and long nights
The beginning of decay
Green turns to gold
But it will not stay

Under a harvest moon
An omen looms
From fervent prayer
A discerning guide
A spirit of light
May all who hear beware

Servants of twilight
There is a coming dawn
There the vultures will gather
There death will new life spawn

As the earth grows cold
And all its hues fade
Memories of our future
Are revived once again

At the end of an age
Harvesting wheat
Burning the tares

5. The Path Less Oft Tread

In time I will be forgotten
Forsaken, forlorn
By even those closest
From enemy and friend torn

As I choose a path
The one less oft tread
I fear I dire end waiting
Was all for naught if nowhere lead

I am overcome with sorrow
Life’s elusive meaning I seek
A journey that leaves me failing
Destitute and weak

So in pressing in onward
I envision Heaven’s open gate
With hell always at my heels
I pray the better of two fates

Let me now falter nor stumble
Grant me strength on this day
With each victory to remain humble
And each failure boldly pray

6. Silhouettes Against The Sun

[Instrumental]

7. A Cleansing Prayer

I long to be where no shadows dwell
All darkness is vanquished
And my spirit is well
At this summit of stone and oak that impales
Transfixing my mind upon self, upon self
My purpose
My pain
My loss
My gain
Ne’er more than what is today
Purge me, Adonai, of desire and lust
Less of me, more of thee
May all my glory be thine
Empty me of self… of self
