lyrics

Frozen to my core, the wretched devil ever still escapes me. In search of something more, I never stopped to think what this could mean. You must help me stop him. We cannot let him flee. His heart ripped from his chest, at peace then I will be. I built this beast with my own bare and bloodied hands, a life of good intentions be damned. How much longer can I stand to wait, and watch as it eats away at everything. “Did I solicit thee from darkness to promote me?” Clay and water may have made you, but neither created me. You walk along that edge bracing for the fall. But I am no more a monster than the one within you all. He made this man with his own bare and bloodied hands, his life of good intentions be damned. Now he’ll never be able to see the good that lived deep within his everything. No love, no faith, no glory to show for all that he gladly let go. How much longer can he bear to seem less than the god that he imagined he would be.

Your music connects on every level, whether it’s physical, emotional or spiritual. Impressive musicianship and song writing. Love how you leave this undefined space for us listeners to draw our own images and blend in our own personal lives when listening. Beacons is one of my favorite albums of all time! olaussem
