Arroyo 07:28
Breathe in and feel the air The world has gone quiet again My lungs feel heavier by the day As the despair of nothing Becomes the new everything I stumble along my valley's stream To shatter the void of the empty silence I can't really say why or when Even my thoughts lead me nowhere Something will come and save me To cease my thirst with filth To feed my hunger with guilt Pardon me and send me to sleep And forgive me from all my sins I flog the dirt with my greedy hands Dry twigs and small shells scatter around A tasteless beetle finds my fingers To crawl through my wounded mouth Something will come and save me To cease my thirst with filth To feed my hunger with guilt Pardon me and send me to sleep And forgive me from all my sins

Crown Flash 06:44
I have seen the light again Soaking the dust through thin air No one knows that its there Forgotten of what and when Rays are shining through sheer crystal And like a white pine tree They hang still above the sea Where my songs echo like a soft whistle Anyone could wear it as a crown Soaking the air into a sound A dying dream formed this reverie And all that lived is now a memory Rays are shining through sheer crystal And like a white pine tree They hang still above the sea Where my songs echo like a soft whistle You can only hear it the wind You can only hear it the wind

Waves of small leaves caressed my hands Aided by the restless air that ruled these lands So I greeted the Wind, once again As I walked into the forest with an old friend Black logs filled the horizon The witnesses of a long forgotten past Now crutches to hold me through my path That grew darker at each trembling step Can you hear the Wind mourning? He sings songs in past tense Can you hear the Wind roaring? He will make you confess No one knew that the Wind was there No one knew that the Wind was there Can you hear the Wind mourning? He sings songs in past tense Can you hear the Wind roaring? He will make you confess Dried trees circled a glade Filled with the purest white grass Leaves swirled to cast a shade Contoured by morning light Poured directly from the sun Embracing my solitude as a motherly rite No one knew that the Wind was there Feeding the Boy with bursts from the tallest trees No one knew that the Wind was there Fierce, loud and confident by his wisdom

Sow The Wind 05:16
If you follow me chained to my chest I can blow life into you So that we can wander around again And breathe our last as one So, don't look over the door There is nothing there for you Lean on me like you swore to And I shall forsake all your sins If you grasp my body with your hand I will flee away from you Let my strength tear us apart And make peace out of our blue So, don't look over the door There is nothing there for you Lean on me like you swore to And I shall forsake all your sins If I fail to hold your heart as mine, my dear I would have let him strangle you Tuck you to sleep and nurture you And hold you tight to my bones

I sneaked and passed through their hatch Swirling calmly, I landed into their nest A cage made of the finest breed of greed Sealed my growing need of making them bleed The sails of the windmill are now my wings As I become the death in the horizon of Men To soak up the poison from this defiled land To deflower his will to perish all living things “Those that sow the wind Shall reap the whirlwind” Bursts of foul black water raise to the ceiling With a flammable smell of a putrid nature My love has grown into the purest violence A slow trial by fire, to purify the wickedest soul “Those that sow the wind Shall reap the whirlwind” Purify me Justify me My love is so violent My love is so violent And the pile of smoke grows darker While I feel the touch of the healing blazes So benign is now my conscience So free is now my kin

Aurora 06:32
I wake with a smile hidden in my hand Kept like a secret that only I could unveil Somewhat by chance, somewhat planned I walk outside and seize my land This peel is now my skin It shields me from the sun This shadow is now my ground We can now grow as one In the morning I will love you At the afternoon I will dream of you Until the night comes and unveils my smile That I hid in my hand, no longer of a child This peel is now my skin It shields me from the sun This shadow is now my ground We can now grow as one
