lyrics

Look at the sky.
Empyrean blaze, ignite the day.
Take our hands, and guide us home.
So beautiful, sapphire tears.
Austere expressions.
Weeping words, never spoken.
Haven holds the answers.
Blood red skyline.
Sacrifice.
The sound of war.
What he tears down, cannot be rebuilt.
The imprisoned, cannot be released.
Smoke and mirrors, hidden behind a counterfeit face, disguise yourself.
His gun knows no lies.
The fabricator tears at me in his anger, and gnashes his teeth at me.
On me my opponent fastens his piercing eyes.
Today my opponent is me.
The sky falls ever closer.
Look at the sky.
It breaks me down on every side till I am gone.
Look at the sky.
He uproots my hope like a tree.
Stumble away ebony.
These weak knees, grow strong.
The sound of war is near, so beautiful.

A bunch of guys making crazy tunes. Our live show is a reflection of the insanity in our heads. Our albums are a mirror to the stories escaping our overactive imaginations.
