Tis'forundal 03:03
TIS’FORUNDAL Blood of Mountains Accepts sacrifice with insouciance Coruscating vapors stir to obscure its turgid power Judgement by a blind hand Without malice or mercy Blood of the Mountain Swallows all sound Glinting crimson like fire Stained with the sweat of iron Cuts a visceral gash in the rock Preparing to receive Buries the worthy Buries their worth No cleansing stream Cold womb of death Steals the last breath Swelling its banks with countless souls thus, Tis’forundal feeds Never finding rest Doomed to wander All consumed by hunger Raging out to the sea Bloated with effluvium Eager to disgorge and be clean Tis’forundal screams on

The Witness 03:58
THE WITNESS Bloodless, nameless, faceless, face this Boundless, weightless, sleepless, witness Run or stand, you will leave empty handed All or some, you will leave with none All begins with a breath and a word Mark my breath and my word and prepare Take these images and sleep Let them sink deep Like a ship becomes the sea When it sinks Lustful crimson creatures limned in pain Break from fate - from every heavy chain Buried under a red blanket Turned to granite Under the thrall of winter’s ire Bitter soul with a merciless desire Best in the end to just give in again and again and again… Run or stand, you will leave empty handed All or some, you will leave with none When the fog begins to clear No one’s here Just a whisper of your faith and your fear

HER NACREOUS EYE Her shrouded head - skeletal, drawn Above shoulders hunched with insult She drifts in and out of realms Scanning with a bitter regard Her nacreous eye turns upon a barrow Drawn by an aberrant sound Amorous ramblings within Belie madness long festering Her refulgent eye pierces the barrow To find a ghostly form In rapt communion With itself Within the nomad spirit Acrid, caustic envy Unfurls until it fills her And her eye turns gelid Advancing on the barrow The jealous shade reaches through Moss, earth, rocks And rotting wool There is no power that will defend Fate is indifferent or disgusted She grasps the raving ghost Tears it from its rapture Eagerly anticipating misery Briefly uniting in suffering The frantic soul clings (to its remains) But is quickly dispensed (to another plane) Beneath her shroud The spiteful wanderer preens Her nacreous eye Turns again to the barrow And she slips inside With a sloe smile Her nacreous eye Turns again to the barrow And she slips inside In a pathetic mimicry of joy
