2. Icarus And I
With blind ambitions and foolish pride
I reached towards the heavens high
The fire consumed the wings and dreams of Icarus and I
Spiraling down from vertiginous heights
I carried the weight of the sun
Heart into ash, burned by the light
The last mortal coil's come...undone
Falling...ever...downward to the sea
Drowning...in flames...endless
Cursing the hybris that tempted me
With blind ambitions false hope and pride
I aspired towards the heavens high
Only to plunge hell's deepest divide, Icarus and I
Falling...ever...downward endlessly
Into...darkness...helpless
Cursing the hybris
O, vision of starlight
O, my radiance divine
Gather ye lost angels in white
Carry this heart of mine
Beyond the eternal night
And these stone cold walls so labyrinthine
The labyrinth inside
3. Ardor
When fate pretermits
Meaningless the magnets
Once drawn as if the sea to moon
The unseen exits of severed couplets
Leave worthless, wordless sonnets strewn
(And spirits lost to ruin)
Remember the stars
The fires inside
The future was ours
Ardor our guide
Reckless abandon
Spirits in flight
Soaring passion
Cascading light
Your light burned so bright blinding my eyes
You were the only sun in my sky
You were the only sun in my sky
O, vision of starlight
O, my radiance divine
Gather ye lost angels in white
Carry this heart of mine
Beyond the eternal night
And these stone cold walls so labyrinthine
4. Heartburst
Thoughts are drifting to black
Through the motions and moments
And now you've stolen back
The nearness and left me with silence
And silence is death
Yearning 'til my last breath
Remembering how you said that you were broken
Despite the light burning through
And now, I'm burned and I'm broken too
Vanishing with the world we never knew
You said that you were broken
Despite the light burning through
And now, I'm burned and I'm broken too

6. The Memory Of Bleeding
Neither time nor tide can heal
A loss as profound, as surreal
This lifeless cold is all I feel
Then all at once to vanquish from light vivified
I witnessed the stars in rapture explode and collide
Through a haze of memories bleeding inside
7. Souls In Permafrost
The highest of hopes left impossible debts
Of darkness and pain and deeper regrets
Facing our future of paradise lost
Interred my soul in permafrost
Motionless oceans cease
With barriers of stone
Scarred by algid winds
Through centuries blown
A distance that cannot be bridged
Where only the dead have ever voyaged
Where spirits entwine in holocaust
You buried my heart in permafrost
A solitary prison
Wrought from anguish and ice
Confining ravaged hearts
No hope can excise
A prisoner of ice
The sole survivor of this wreckage
A shattered spirit far beyond salvage
8. Searching The Stars
Traversing the nothingness of unbroken night
Searching the stars I still dream of your light
I remember the oceans that raged so deep inside
I remember the fires that fate had failed to elide
Now I am frozen fearing infinity
And I'm only certain of this uncertainty
Lost in this landslide of my own design
I watched all our dreams die upon the vine
9. Reminescence Of Strangers
Strangers once and strangers again
Yet I'd still move the earth and heaven
To sear the wounds time ever rends
I'll still be yearning when forever finally ends
When it finally ends...
10. Lifelines Lost
Reciting every word of prayers unanswered
Slowly I have surrendered to Aphelion
