Awoken are the beasts below
Malignant spirits uncontacted for centuries
Long forgotten
Their restraints broken
Passing through the void between spirit and man
The elders prayed for forgiveness
Wishes fallen on deafened ears
|

Their botanic kingdom falls in the blink of an eye
From green prosperity to browning waste
Crops destroyed
Rivers ran dry
Dew forms no longer upon the withered flora
Their cruel marks remain deep and forlorn
A reminder of past suffering
Elders gather with the setting sun
A once golden stretch of sky
Now built of black and grey
Site marked by dead grass and discarded bones
Under the cover of darkness
They recite their plea

Aberrant Clime

Life perpetuates life
An endless cycle
Day chased from the sky
The endless cycle of black and white
Consistently steadfast
They found their sustenance beyond the plane
Until the deluge broke that cadence
The once arid expanse burgeoning with verdant breath
Finally, a people can flourish

Born of Clay
05:58

|

A lifeless expanse sits beneath a vociferous sky
A bolide flood from the furthest depths
From the arid remains of storm ravished land
A slurry forms of ash and bone
Fruition constructed at the hand of light and wind
The mortal world now in permanence
The first generation of human existence
Shaping the land with muddy palms
Their own creation amidst the caverns
Construction of stick and loam
Woven seamlessly with that of their creator
This village has its dawn amongst the canyons

Obsidian Wing

Shadows form across the sun
A gathering of black in midday sky
Circling above their homes
A torrent of feathers, beaks and soot
Descends upon their nation
A presence marked by prevailing winds
Gone as quickly as they came
A preface of what’s to come
|

Windswept Rock
04:46
|
|

The earth is unchanged, careless
A blip in time at its capacity
All is forgotten
All is forgiven
The doorway now closed
Shaman guarded
Bathed in blue
Of the six, only two remain
|

The Ancient Ones
03:41
|
|
||
Darkened apparitions
Devoid of space and time
Overseers of the doorway
Protection for future visitors
The mistakes of their ancestors
Will not be repeated
|

Magpie
04:51
|
|

Totems constructed by withering hands
Birds of black scattered throughout the sky
They hold the key to decimation
A circle of impending destruction
Slowly spinning above the rocks
Foretold are the images of diamond-shaped eyes
Thwarting those above
|

Disintegration of Man
07:08
|
|
||
Rains will no longer fall
Plants will no longer grow
Sun rays pummel earthward
What life was left now crumbles under foot
Creatures arise from worlds beyond
Still flowing from this open dimension
Sent to erase their existence
They will pay for their avarice
