Crooked 05:32
Crooked Lights fade out, (fade out) the veil is gone today. (collapse / cut out) On crooked pathways (fade out) frozen hearts shall starve. (cut out) I read all of your words and found a conjuror's trick. We bled out all of our wounds and died much as we lived. Your flesh shall be as nothing, Our winter is fast approaching, Time's hand turns; cold and swiftly, Storms' eyes blink and destroy us.

Barrow-Wight 04:14
Barrow-Wight Wandering down the old dirt roads, winding past those time-worn tombs, Barrow-wights call out, I internalised their wounds. Creeping closer, creeping to the door on the hillside, I can feel my mortal flesh wasting away. Now I am bones beneath a frozen lake, a shade's reflection, cold-encircled below. I have been silent for so long, there was never anything to speak of. Amour's touch was short lived, forever vanishing. I found myself numb. Amongst the whispering trees, they never asked of me. Isolated but not alone, I approach the open door, creeping closer to the open door.

Ivy Climbs The Walls Grinding teeth and blind for days I made my enemies without a trace. I could hear the songbird calling for our demise; a crescendo carried by the winds at dawn. I could hear the songbird calling. Mission creep into the jaws of Tartarus. Swallow the wolfsbane and become part of us. Throughout the years ivy climbs the walls, entropy haunts the hallway; Rise, decline and fall. Fall... Flies and lords all join the swarm, cathedrals birthed this ugly form. Cities disappear with barely a sound, stone by stone they embrace the ground. Cities disappear, stone by stone.

Buried 01:18

Beyond the Silver Lining Our defense mixed among the tides, drowning out our worth- maelstroms of words (and daggers). Beyond my reach, the windswept worlds of godlike hubris. The fog has risen from your deeds. The dusk of our halcyon hours. Wave-less oceans. Silver linings regress into clouds, take on the wings of hatred, rush out into the empty black and scar the welkin's cheek. Ploughed into the earth instead, before your season ends.
7.
Hinterland Thief Forever there in the shade of the hinterland, even though you struggle to forget me, with the laugh of a murderer and a smile of envy. I have waited, feels like a thousand years. Put a mountain between you and I, cast a void betwixt our tracks. Blinded by the autumn sky, don't want to see your silhouette anyway. Bound to the towering cliffs, curse your likeness anyway. Bleached out the connections, disarmed all of your tripwires. Asleep in the dungeons upon a dreamless altar, in the silent pits of earth, we've found peace at last. Blocked out of our own thoughts, alone in the vapour, cradled in the arms of dead hopes. Stagnation has numbed our expectations, the passage of time is only shadow, a feverish spiral of inverted wrath.

about

Throughout the years
Ivy climbs the walls.
Entropy haunts the hallway;
Rise, decline
and fall...
