Symbiotic Growth
Beyond the Sleepless Aether

Tracklist

• 1. Of Painted Skies and Dancing Lights (07:03)
   copy

  In the temple of dancing light, strokes of vibrant green, streak across the sky, giving way too melting blues and pinks.
  
  Like waves crashing over each other, it walks itself deeper into darkness. Leaving a trail behind; the painted sky
  
  The perpetual whip of the wind lashing at the skin
  Bites of the northern air, the musky scent of pines pierce the senses, every step a mile closer, and further away.
  
  A tapestry is woven
  With the eternal threads of reality
  Showing scenes unspoken
  Before my eyes
  
  A glimpse of light through the still drawn curtains
  A glimpse beyond the veil
  
  The grass, that lay beneath
  My feet, laced of morning dew
  Lead me to the evergreen
  Cresting morning light
• 2. Spires of the Boundless Sunset (07:28)
   copy

  Lay down in the grass
  Close your mind to everything
  
  There it stood like stone in the fog
  A steeple of the golden age
  Once a place of peace for misery
  Now stands rotten and overgrown
  
  Vines reach for sky
  grabbing for light
  Trying to rewrite the past
  
  In the light of an endless sunset
  It shows itself to me
  Is it another work of fiction
  Or an alternate reality
  
  A giant flash of light
  Creating lines
  Spliting reality
  Revealing multiverse
  A world reversed
  Nothing will ever be the same
• 3. The Architect of Annihilation (10:57)
   copy

  Kneel before thee, the old Wolves spoke,
  Voices in my mind
  Without a lick of the tongue
  Oh forest spirit, great one, help us reclaim,
  Greed & Industry has come
  
  Consuming land, devouring everything
  Tendrils of hatred consume us once more
  Forged to protect every living thing
  I feel the anger
  Taking over my mind
  
  A plague of ash, a storm of embers
  Birthing clouds of poisonous soot
  Decay and Rot; logs of timBER
  Destroying the homes of the earth
  Homes of the earth}
  
  The culling of ancient ones
  We must retake the promised land
  Retake the forest, mother of earth
  
  The absence of light
  Poisonous clouds showing promise of Rain
  Foreshadowing plight
  Culling the spirits of this earthly plane
  What can we do
  Stop the machine before it's too late
  Using this curse
  To make industry fall to it's knees
  
  Hope you feel good now
  Eviscerating forest spirits
  Now up in smoke
  And a trail of worms
  The hatred takes us over
  Oh nameless one of rage and hate
  Pass on in peace and bear us no hatred
  With our lives we protect the land until we die
  
  And as smoke escapes his lips
  The vision he projects
  A line of sight made for my eyes
  I can see it all
  
  I see the disease
  They fall to their knees
  
  With destruction through flame
  A land lost to greed
  Must be reclaimed
  Before we lose our way
  
  As I awaken, lucid dreams
  The ancients whisper to me
  Heed my warning,
  This was not a dream
  But a vision of the past
  Of one we must not repeat
• 4. The Sleepless Void (09:52)
   copy

  There is a winding road
  lined with trees of oak
  O' willows speak to me
  underneath the blood soaked sea
  a sky stained red
  Like a song it calls to the dead
  The lycanthropic man prays, full moon
  flesh it tears, in nights shade it looms
  A lost child
  adorned in white
  Skin cloaked by its past life
  Made its home in the middle of the road
  Awaiting the stranger
  A Nightmare bestowed
  
  Of ash and ember
  From sky, meets ground
  The unending nightmare
  A fear renowned
  
  In the void he sleeps
  In dreams he seeks
  To awaken from slumber
  In endless reality
  
  In the darkness he prevails
  In shadows he sits still
  In light he's nowhere be found
  A home he's made underground
  
  Lurking and lurking and lurking
  He's shifting through the night
  He's lurking and lurking and lurking
  
  A lust for blood, his appetite
  A lust for blood
  For blood he prays
  And For blood he dies
  
  Along the moonlit path
  Exhausted breathing
  Weak legs and damaged head
  For death I am cheating
  
  In this locked room I pray to god
  A sick game played on us
  Brash choices made to gain some relief
  A cost shaded in disbelief
  
  When will this end
  I've suffered so much
  A constant
  Twisting and turning and shifting
  Through the multiverse
  
  And I've had enough
  Through the endless doorways
  To endless dreams
  I've given up
• 5. Arid Trials and Barren Sands (07:35)
   copy

  Through the passage way
  A step into sand
  The dry hot air
  Embraces my face
  
  The Sweeping spirals
  Sit Restlessly
  Among the halcyon
  horizon
  
  Forever, endlessly
  
  The sand in my eyes
  The grit in my teeth
  A land of liquid nothing
  Envelops the scene
  
  Beneath the swollen blue sky
  No clouds embrace
  Only dry desert Sun
  Sits in their place
  
  It stares me down
  It slows my pace
  
  The blistering sands recede my skin
  The scorpions tail raises in warning
  The ever turning wall of sand
  Rolls continuously towards me
  
  And here they come
  The wavering visions
  A mirage come to life
  A true hallucination
  
  The whipping wind
  Sculpts this desert plain
  Sandstone arches
  Are All that remain
  
  Whispering winds speak to me
  The story unclear
  An ancient secret within the sands
  Unheard for centuries
  Am I the chosen one
  Am I the Savior
  To the end of the world
  The prophet of our damnation
  The one to save us all
  
  Its all in my mind
  
  In the sweltering heat
  Shade cast aside
  Only shadows of vultures lie
  Pyramids point towards the sky
  
  A cold breeze touches my skin
  The night sky slowly seeps in
  Gripping me with it's frozen hand
  Instilling frost on the land
  
  Echoes of past and future-
  like Oceans breathing life-
  straight into my fragile mind, I--
  see beyond the veil, death greets me
  with psalms of a forgotten time
  
  Now let me go
  Drifting away. far away
  No more pain, or mortal coils
  My consciousness erodes
  Decaying time
  Death's eternal veil covers my eyes.
  
  Whispering winds speak to me
  The story unclear
  An ancient secret within the sands
  Unheard for centuries
  Am I the chosen one
  Am I the Savior
  To the end of the world
  The prophet of our damnation
  The one to save us all
  
  The one to save us all!
• 6. Lost in Fractured Reveries (08:44)
   copy

  As I sit within the stars
  Enveloped by the cosmos
  The earth calls back to me
  Begging for attention
  A barren waste sits
  Polluted, days past
  Lost within the light of changing time
  No time place in time lasts
  
  I've seen past the black
  Void
  Through its darkened veil
  A series of time and places
  all intertwined
  
  As I travel through the gates
  And pass through its many faces
  A vast green world turned white
  With a flip of a switch
  
  A kaleidoscope
  Of flashing scenes
  An ever-moving picture paints
  The in between
  
  The world preordained to laws on the next
  In the endless knot we dance frantically
  Forever Searching for the meaning to life
  A show of melancholic pageantry
  
  What is this world
  what does it want with me
  A feeling of loss
  Ready to pay the fee
  
  If I we're to die
  would everything stay the same
  So what does it matter
  
  In these parallel settings
  I contemplate my life
  Is my existence for naught
  A null point in time
  Useless to resist
  I should just accept my fate
• 7. Trading Thoughts for Sleep (10:02)
   copy

  Isolation
  Alone but all together
  The feeling of creation
  Loneliness and desertion
  
  Up above, while they look down below
  You can't burn yourself, to keep the others 77warm
  
  A path of self righteous thinking
  The issue is somebody else
  A tightness in my breathing
  I feel so alone
  
  They pretend like they see me
  A ghost like noone else
  Sometimes I feel like heaving
  And crying for help
  
  Judgement, the boundless feeling
  A heart thats lost home
  There is no place for healing
  Nobody knows
  
  Desolation
  The anger that builds within me
  A flame that cannot be contained
  Oh ire and endless fury
  The rage that's always been
  Smouldering ashes into flame
  Rising up internally
  The anger rages in me
  
  I would trade all these thoughts for sleep
  The Restless nights , I hunger for dreams
  The constant pumping of my heart
  A sinking feeling that it's falling apart
  
  And If I were to never breathe again
  What a relief it would be, to meet my end
  
  A constant worry of leaving behind
  A life that to others might seem fine
  The ones I love few and far between
  An end unforseen
  
  Through constellations
  So Far beyond the flesh
  Past the gates and through the aether
  To the planes of death
  The cold stone pathway, Lined of moss
  Walks me through all these lives I've lost
  Past the realms and the in between
  Please release me of all I've seen
  
  The empty space through the knot
  Of the hangman's noose
  Shimmers and calls to me
  Visions of life
  break and shatter
  Loosing all reality
  Am I where Ive always been
  On the cusp of eternity
  Taking the final step
  Embracing the eternal sleep
  
  The final curtain once risen, falls
  The end of this journey, the sleep~ now calls
  The flickering flame in my soul, now fades
  Towards eternal somnium, letting go
