Shadow Road
04:33
|

The brighter the light
The deeper the shadow
We walk the shadow road
If we do it right
No one will know
As a whisper
A rumour
A thought passing by
We are the prophecy
We are what’s to come
Turn our wounds into wisdom
And be ready to run
I don’t run from my daemons
I learn their names
And fight to keep them
Locked in chairs
As they attempt to entice me
With their charm
Little do they know
I’ll do more harm
I am the foe
Who patiently waits
They may be quiet
But they’re never sedate
Here on the shadow road
Dark and deep
I offer you
Eternal sleep
Death is a rite
We all must face
An ancient force
You cannot abate
I’ll rise from the shadows
Revered not feared
By the ones who despise
When you come near
We walk the shadow road
If we do it right
No one will know
As a whisper
A rumour
A thought passing by
We are the prophecy
We are what’s to come
Turn our wounds into wisdom
And be ready to run
Brought forth from the shadow
I seek to tame
The darkness from the void
Creating chaos and pain
In the icy grip of winter
I despise
Those who think they know
Have more respect to show
I am the nightmare
Haunting their dreams
More terrifying
Than I seem

Maslenitsa

Now is the time
This is the hour
Time to take back
All our power
There’s a shift
In the air
The trajectory
Will not be fair
We refuse
To be still
As the daughters
You could not kill
This will be
A bitter pill
Try to embrace
All our skill
In the darkness
Of the night
You’re in for a
Terrible fright
Maslenitsa
I refuse to be
Just another piece
In your games
To feel complete
Before all I was
And all I am
Is ephemeral
Vengeance
You’ll regret
Hell hath no fury
Like a woman scorned
And all her aggression
Will be formed
Into the weapon
She’s learned to wield
Through trauma
She won’t yield
Turn the pain
Into power
Don’t you ever
Fall and cower
Let your strength
Intimidate all
Who underestimates
What you are
A powerful vessel
Carved from the stars
You were meant
To stand apart
I refuse to be
Just another piece
In your games
To feel complete
Before all I was
And all I am
Is ephemeral
Vengeance
You’ll regret
Birth, bloom, decay
This is the way
That we will pave
Through night and day
You have no say
In how we behave
We are the wave
That continues to rage

Solstice
03:04
|

Now’s the time of snow and ice
Long twilight and dark night
We’ve reached the still point of the sun
Yet look to future that’s to come
Breathe deep in the chill cold air
Rejoice in the magic darkness bears
May the longest night and shortest day
Shift and unlock come what may
As we find true tranquility
And search the night for harmony
As we settle on the cusp
Look for answers from the past
Now is the winter of our discontent
A walking shadow of dissent
The veil is lifted from the earth
Make sure you gather around the hearth
Nothing will stop the endless night
As winter gathers within our sight
Prepare for the grip against your throat
This life is one lived by rote
Fear is poison
Fear is a prison
Fear is the butcher of ambition
A bleak reminder of the human condition
Forced to fall into submission
Now’s the time of snow and ice
Long twilight and dark night
We’ve reached the still point of the sun
Yet look to future that’s to come
Breathe deep in the chill cold air
Rejoice in the magic darkness bears
May the longest night and shortest day
Shift and unlock come what may
As we find true tranquility
And search the night for harmony
As we settle on the cusp
Look for answers from the past
No gods, no masters
Hearts are beating faster
As silences swells
Shadows fell
As winter casts its spell

Fire
03:36
|

We are the dispossessed
Restless and self aware
The ones who suffocate in your care
Broken down through our despair
Covered and smothered
In the wake of your disgrace
We survive in the ashes
Of your mistakes
Rising from the debris
To take your place
When will they learn
We won’t back down
We will fight back
We will not burn
Our fire is not for them
We are not a sacrifice
We will not approach the pyre
We won’t let them set the world on fire
Our fire is not for them
We are not a sacrifice
We will not approach the pyre
We won’t let them set the world on fire
We will not blindly swallow
What you say
We’ve become the pillars
Of restraint
Fighting for equality
Breaking from the chains of deceit
Our fire is not for them
We are not a sacrifice
We will not approach the pyre
We won’t let them set the world on fire
Our fire is not for them
We are not a sacrifice
We will not approach the pyre
We won’t let them set the world on fire

Infinite
03:41
|
|||
The universe will cease to be
And turn into a cold dark sea
Of equidistant particles
Swallowing everything
You are infinite by nature
An innately limitless creature
Forced to fight for survival
In a world full of entitled
Succubi who only want to
Drain from you what they can’t produce
They declare it a gift unwanted
Enthralling you to take their torment
I bow to the creative wisdom
To the divine teacher within
Nothing forces me to succumb
Something wicked this way comes
The universe will cease to be
And turn into a cold dark sea
Of equidistant particles
Swallowing everything
Dark, blood stained, scarred to the bone
They’ve stolen all you own
But they can’t take away throne
Dark, blood stained, scarred to the bone
They’ve stolen all you own
But they can’t take away throne
I bow to the creative wisdom
To the divine teacher within
Nothing forces me to succumb
Something wicked this way comes
Magic in the blood
Rebellion in the heart
This world was made to tear you apart
Seasons always change
Forever in exchange
For your eternal soul enslaved
Magic in the blood
Rebellion in the heart
This world was made to tear you apart
Seasons always change
Forever in exchange
For your eternal soul enslaved

Blood Moon
03:16
|

Look to the sky
There’s blood on the moon
What’s deep inside
Is starting to bloom
Welcome the call
To your soul
Bring forth the magic
As you evolve
Today I chose to defy fate
In order to escape
The shackles placed on me
By all who perceive
What I should be
It falls on the night
When the cycle’s in bloom
And peoples always assume
That there’s peace in the world
When chaos consumes
There is no peace to be found
When the world turns upside down
There will be celestial shock
Lower your mental block
As the magic courses through me
Into the thinning veil I see
The ability of energy
Is limitless as the sea
It falls on the night
When the cycles in bloom
And people always assume
That there’s peace in the world
When chaos consumes
Prepare for a cosmic wave
And dispel negativity
You attract what you believe
Worthy of your energy

As Above So Below
02:59
|
|||
Through all despair and uncertainty
There is a strength in you and me
Formed in the depths of humanity
People only accept what they want to see
There’s no light without dark
Deep within there’s a spark
As within, so without
Let the power sprout
This is the creed
So mote it be
Broken into fragments
Only to be set free
The darkest hour’s before the dawn
A lucid dream, with no form
Built on the balance of energy
Death is rebirth don’t you see
There is no light without dark
Deep within there’s a spark
As within, so without
Let the power sprout
We plant the seed
So blessed be
Fractal moments in time
Only to be set free
As above, so below
Becomes the forge of our credo
Built on the flight of the stars
This path is, truly ours
