ELDER LYRICS

1. Omens

Cursing the day
Palisades of the shadows

Against the weight of decay 

Grey light in bloom


Wasting away
In the embers of power
Not a voice to remain
Echoes of the past


In the ruins tomorrow
Lies the meaning of today
Where only memories are hallow
For time to wash away

Gaze upon me
I have seen the end
Suspended in light
An omen to portend

One are we
Ae vigil in the end
Suspended in light
Days of halcyon descend

Reawakened
A temple from another age
A peace to transcend
Loss fading away

Navigating
The empty spaces

2. In Procession

The solitary purpose
To outshine the heavens in our minds

Thoughts rain down a thousand suns
Flicker on the surface of the own

The principle of reason
Wielded once in service of the all

Detached from the master's hand

Blind and writhing ever toward the end

Bleeding out
A macerated land
In veneration
Raise a monument to man

Marching onward
Treading on the scars
In procession

3. Halcyon

Holding onto a moment
A solitary thought
Plain and overwrought in the same

Seizing in focus
A second of the day
Our own duality overcome

A paradigm, a meaning to itself
Shifting out of view
Slipping away into naught

Raining down on me
I can feel the earth
What has come and gone
Vanishing with no return

4. Embers

Eyes face toward the sun
Mounting the empyrean
Everything is all that will remain

Fate is just a word
Striking straight into the nerve
We all cast a shadow of the pain

What is it you want
Consuming every thought
Consuming all you are
Piercing right into the core

A fallen star to deify
Glowing in the morning light of all demise
Bowing softly toward the end

Staring at the sun hanging in air
Wait for it to fall
Seeing with the eyes of an animal
Backed against the wall

Carrying the voiceless in a hope
And a hope within a sound
Burning down to ash to disappear
Without a trace upon

5. One Light Retreating

Golden leaf wrapped around the neck, idly turning
Reaching for the sky to touch the sun again

Drunken innocence, somatic senses corroding
Roots that yearn to wander and reclaim


Wander on
Floating through the world we made before it's gone

Walk along
One last time to say goodbye


Footsteps echo on 

In perpetuum
An age of halcyon
Fades into the past
