Half-light eternal

Lyrics for Half-light eternal

Illumination wavers in the strengthening grip of dusk* Darkness summoned something more than dreams and empty promises Every blade and bole turns towards the fading light And all freeze to capture this moment in eternal clarity Around and around the centuries thunder Revolutions of earth and stone, oceans rise and fall The waves of life flow high tide and beyond This crystalline second still warm on the retina of remembrance Bruised and melancholy is the moment That stains these skies Ash will saturate the bones of our footsteps echo Sandstorm future melts through the half-light tangle The end retreats ever onwards, suspended in fire Shadowed by ages, enthroned in forever This hour, this minute, this second This very second Every memory furrows through the folds of time Shadows aflame with resonance before your eyes Now branded by the sharpened nature of his night
