Run Thick in the Night

Run Thick In The Night



 - In The Night

Mirror glass,
Stars they fall.
Seeds of fire,
Blind and bright.
Strange alike, to one another.
And are legion in the night

Strange and Still

She has killed the stars, and confused our eyes.


 -  Wolf on Anareta,
Cry the distant stars
Seed so old and forming, dying ancient light
Wolf on Anareta, destroyer of all kinds
Whatever cloak to guard them, whatever hand to bind.


When I recover, I will build a weapon
Erase your mark from man
Wolf on Anareta, destroyer of all kinds
Whatever cloak to guard them, whatever hand to bind.



Who seeks your counsel?
Are they listening now?
So alike my enemies
And will cut your throats in kind
Wolf on Anareta, destroyer of all kinds
Whatever cloak to guard them, whatever hand to bind.



I hear a savage throat, lay claim my soul
And an ancient fire,
Cook my bones
Wolf on Anareta, destroyer of all kinds
Whatever cloak to guard them, whatever hand to bind.

 - I know your face,
Your seasons
In green shadow, high mountains
Evermore, I am your body
Evermore, in flesh and bone
A skin that will peel back from nothing
A specter, and it is willing,
When the light, it falls
It sounds, a call
In its reaches, Fire is sleeping


 - Fonta Flora lies beneath
The dark waters
Watching people pass above
As they sink, lifeless,
To lie with the long dead
Left behind, unmarked
Pushing the ripples upward


 - Ephraim in the Stars

As we are minds
As wee see cold
Feel the moonlight, shift and move
And see our fears
In the dark and narrow
In barren circles,
Light in our way

Oh, the deepest darkness
Oh, the silver moon
Ephraim in the Stars
Lord, suzerain


At night she walks
The deepest dark
The wild mountains, and fiery stars
And she is fearful
In the dark and narrow
And it is a terrible thing to be lost

Oh, the deepest darkness
Oh, the silver moon
Ephraim in the Stars
Lord, suzerain



As we have eyes
And light in our way
There are things that hate to be seen
Belly of a whale,
Light over the mountain,
Eye up in the heaven,
Wheel inside a wheel

Oh, the deepest darkness
Oh, the silver moon
Ephraim in the Stars
Lord, suzerain



Who spreads her fingers
In lunar angles
Whose belly holds the silvery seas
Whose ears are buried
Whose mouth is vapor
Whose eyes are cancer
Whose voice is unclear

Oh, the deepest darkness
Oh, the silver moon
Ephraim in the Stars
Lord, suzerain


This song was written
Before The Leonids
Circled to our lifetime
Showering bursts of light
Down to earth
Pulsing 
Through the night 



 - Suzerain


Attack in swarm
Run Thick in the Night
We are of blood, a rain that is blind
A legion of souls, and feed on every surface
A fog that tastes like Iron
Run Thick in the Night


When we reach the sun,
Into vapor we must form our waking eyes
To look upon the moon and stars,
Swallow up what is left in darkness,
Suzerain


Goes to show, what is known
To feel a certain simple shame
We stand on a dark hill,
obscured
and unseen
We reach
To the abyss
Forever


When we reach the sun, Into vapor we must form our iron hands
To swallow up the moon and stars, look upon what is left in darkness

Suzerain

 -  Maran


Far away from your cold twisted reach
Living under your black could of sleep
And always one eye behind, far away from your shadow
Away from your cold twisted reach
And your black cloud of sleep
And the venom you spit through your teeth
And your tainted breath
"The piping of the quena...
flutes made from human bones"
 - McCarthy



 - Deep Green
Beneath the trees
The wind it feels
The air,
the stars
And breathe its skin
Fade in the sun, thick in the night
The lights to fade
And wane and shift
The air,
the stars
And breathe its skin
Fade in the sun, thick in the night


 - The Devil’s Flower in Mother Winter

The Devil seed
Was sowed and born
Far across the stream
Neath the weeds and thorns
It could find no shelter
It could find no home
Neath the yellow moon, or the golden sun


Smell the blood
On the devil flower
Brings and evil moon
And evil power
If it should live, where would it grow
Neath the golden sun, the winter snow


Born again, dark November
Feel the chill, come late December
Our mother winter
Shines her soul
In the moon, when it’s dark and cold


Mirror glass,
Stars they fall…



 - The Moon in Flesh and Bone

In know your face
I know your seasons
In green shadows, and high mountains
Evermore, I am your body
Evermore
In flesh
And bone


A skin that will peel back from nothing
A specter
And it is willing
When the light, it fall
A sound
A call
In its reaches, fire is sleeping


God and devils
Piss and venom
In time, you reap them
You suffer
Grit your teeth
And take your poison
Leave your body
                           It
                               Is
                                 Ruin.
