Lyrics:

I light the lamps in every shadowed room
Chasing the cold where hearts assume
Hands extended, warmth to give
Yet my own fire never lives

I am the flame that never fades
The shoulder where the night parades
I whisper comfort, hold the night
But when I reach, I find no light

I burn for all, but none for me
In the frost of their indifference, I freeze
The warmth I offer, they do not crave
They take the fire, yet leave the grave

I mend the breaks, I stitch the pain
A harbor safe through every rain
But turn my gaze to seek my own
And find the world has left me alone

I burn for all, but none for me
In the frost of their indifference, I freeze
The warmth I offer, they do not crave
They take the fire, yet leave the grave

I am the ember, quiet, small
The unseen warmth that bears it all
And when I break, when I implore
The world prefers I give no more

I am the flame that never dies
But burns alone, unseen by eyes
Always there, yet never held
A warmth in silence, quietly quelled

Ember in Silence

Lyrics:

Circles carved in shadowed ground
Every step, I’m still bound
Faces change, but the eyes remain
A cycle written in endless pain

I open doors, I let them in
The smile, the touch, the fragile skin
But every warmth becomes a chain
A lesson I forget again

I open doors, I let them in
The smile, the touch, the fragile skin
But every warmth becomes a chain
A lesson I forget again

Round and round, the wheel still turns
Ash to ash, and fire burns
Karmic ties I cannot sever
Toxic bonds, repeating forever

A thousand hands, the same embrace
The mask is different, but not the face
The promise spoken fades to dust
The wheel demands, the wheel I trust

Round and round, the wheel still turns
Ash to ash, and fire burns
Karmic ties I cannot sever
Toxic bonds, repeating forever

Round and round, the wheel still turns
Ash to ash, and fire burns
Karmic ties I cannot sever
Toxic bonds, repeating forever

Spiraling upward, falling low
I reap the seeds I didn’t sow
Each soul I meet, the thread entwines
Binding my heart in endless lines

Round and round, the wheel still turns
Ash to ash, and fire burns
Karmic ties I cannot sever
Toxic bonds, repeating forever

The wheel turns on, it always will
And I remain, broken still

The Wheel that Breaks Me

Lyrics:

Stone walls breathe with a choking sound
Cold hands pressing, I can’t look down
The night above is a distant flame
But every climb feels just the same

My voice dissolves in the hollow dark
No answer comes, no guiding spark
The rope is frayed, the stones are slick
Each motion falters, each hold won’t stick

At the bottom I remain, in this water-stained tomb
Every struggle to ascend becomes another wound
But still I reach, though the walls confine
For upwards is the only line

The weight of silence, crushing, near
The echo of every wasted year
I taste the rust, I swallow stone
This grave of mine, I climb alone

At the bottom I remain, in this water-stained tomb
Every struggle to ascend becomes another wound
But still I reach, though the walls confine
For upwards is the only line

My nails are blood, my skin is torn
Yet something stirs where hope was worn
A single step, a fractured breath
A war between despair and death

At the bottom I remain, but I will not drown
I will claw against the stone until it breaks down
No prison eternal, no fate defined
I bleed upwards against the line

At the bottom, I still rise.

The Well

Lyrics:

I spoke in whispers, I spoke in fire
Foretold the fall, the funeral pyre
But every warning turned to dust
They called it fear, they called it rust

I saw the cracks in the endless sky
The stars that dimmed before they died
I named the storms before they came
Yet all they heard was hollow blame

I am the voice they never believe
The shadow of truth they cannot receive
The world will burn, the heavens will fall
And none will listen, none at all

Each time I warned, they turned away
Called me broken, begged I stay
But silence builds the gallows high
And now the end consumes the sky

I am the voice they never believe
The shadow of truth they cannot receive
The world will burn, the heavens will fall
And none will listen, none at all

Each time I warned, they turned away
Called me broken, begged I stay
But silence builds the gallows high
And now the end consumes the sky

The oceans rise, the fire rains
I feel the earth split with its chains
But every scream will prove me true
When no one’s left to hear it too

I warned you all… I warned you all.
I warned you all.

The Last Prophet

Lyrics:

I plant my hands in barren ground
But nothing roots, no growth is found
The soil rejects, the rain won’t stay
The harvest dies before the day

I build the walls of a house of stone
Each brick is set, yet I’m alone
The roof remains an endless sky
The scaffolds fall, I never try

In fields of tomorrow, I leave no seed
No fruit to gather, no mouth to feed
The wheel keeps turning, but I let go
For futures promised, I’ll never know

In fields of tomorrow, I leave no seed
No fruit to gather, no mouth to feed
The wheel keeps turning, but I let go
For futures promised, I’ll never know

I sail the seas with broken mast
The maps I draw will never last
The shore recedes, the compass lies
I drift away as the moment dies

In fields of tomorrow, I leave no seed
No fruit to gather, no mouth to feed
The wheel keeps turning, but I let go
For futures promised, I’ll never know

Why tend the fire if night will stay?
Why chase the dawn that hides away?
I drop the plow, I break the pen
And lose the thread again, again

In fields of tomorrow, I leave no seed
No fruit to gather, no mouth to feed
The wheel keeps turning, but I let go
For futures promised, I’ll never know

The harvest waits… but not for me.

Fields of Tomorrow

Lyrics:

The years were dust upon my hands
Each night I carved from shifting sands
A secret flame, too small to see
But still it burned inside of me

The world moved on, it never knew
The endless hours, the trials I drew
Through sleepless dark, through shadows deep
I held the vision I must keep

At last the dawn has heard my name
The spark I nursed becomes a flame
Though none may see, or understand
I hold the universe in my hand

At last the dawn has heard my name
The spark I nursed becomes a flame
Though none may see, or understand
I hold the universe in my hand

The silence taught me how to stay
To give a lifetime all away
And though the world will not recall
I found my truth, I gave my all

At last the dawn has heard my name
The spark I nursed becomes a flame
Though none may see, or understand
I hold the universe in my hand

The weight of years dissolves tonight
The endless dark gives way to light
A quiet triumph, no one sees
But in my soul, eternity

At last the dawn has heard my name
The spark I nursed becomes a flame
Though none may see, or understand
I hold the universe in my hand

The light I carried… forever mine.

The Light I Carried

Lyrics:

I learned to live beneath the tide
Where light was lost, where hope had died
The weight above, the silence near
Each breath I stole was chained with fear

I drifted years in endless night
My lungs forgot what air was like
The surface felt a dream, a lie
A place I’d never touch or find

But then the waves began to break
The waters stilled, the dawn awake
At last, the air, at last, the flame
I breathe again… I breathe again

The tides release their endless claim
The silence lifts, I speak my name
The sky is vast, the air is free
For once the world belongs to me


But then the waves began to break
The waters stilled, the dawn awake
At last, the air, at last, the flame
I breathe again… I breathe again

No longer drowning, no longer still
A fragile breath, a quiet will
The years of silence now undone
The first true breath has just begun

The waves have broken, I am free
The light returns, it lives in me
At last, the air, at last, the flame
I breathe again… I breathe again

I breathe again.

Breathe

Lyrics:

I stumbled once, I lost my way
The job was gone, the rent to pay
I cursed the weight, I cursed the fall
But something waited through it all

The doors I knocked on never stayed
The friends I trusted turned away
Each failure felt like rusted chains
Yet led me out into the rain

The turn in the road I thought was the end
Became the start of a fire within
What I called ruin was clearing ground
A place for the life I finally found

The heartbreak that I thought would stay
Brought strangers near along the way
The silence that I feared as loss
Became the bridge I had to cross

The turn in the road I thought was the end
Became the start of a fire within
What I called ruin was clearing ground
A place for the life I finally found

The broken glass beneath my feet
Became a map, became the street
I walked through pain, I walked through night
And still the morning brought me light

The turn in the road I thought was the end
Became the start of a fire within
What I called ruin was clearing ground
A place for the life I finally found

I finally found… I finally found.

At Road's Turn

Lyrics:

I searched the heavens for a sign
A lantern lost, a spark divine
I traced the echoes in the stone
But none could reach, none could stand

A river split, a hidden stream
A garden waiting in the dream
A thousand masks dissolved to clay
The truth beneath would not decay

I am the fire, I am the flame
No need for shadows to know my name
The love I sought was sown in stone
A mirror of stars, a heart of my own

The branches broke, the roots held fast
The storm had passed, the night at last
A secret path the silence showed
The seed was mine, the self I owed

I am the fire, I am the flame
No need for shadows to know my name
The love I sought was sown in stone
A mirror of stars, a heart of my own

No crown above, no voice to bind
The constellation lives inside
Through shifting tides, through skies unknown
I found the world that was my own

I am the fire, I am the flame
No need for shadows to know my name
The love I sought was sown in stone
A mirror of stars, a heart of my own

The Hollow

Lyrics:

A single light adrift in black
I feel its gaze, I can’t turn back
It sways within an endless sea
It breathes in silence, waits for me

A thousand suns behind its teeth
Worlds collapse, their fire beneath
It hums a song no tongue can say
It draws the living worlds away

Lantern in the void, it beckons near
A maw beyond the edge of fear
I see the lure, I know the snare
Yet still I crawl, yet still I stare

Its hunger draped in radiant flame
A crown of ash, an unmarked name
The closer I am pulled inside
The less of me is left to hide

Lantern in the void, it beckons near
A maw beyond the edge of fear
I see the lure, I know the snare
Yet still I crawl, yet still I stare

Lantern in the void, it beckons near
A maw beyond the edge of fear
I see the lure, I know the snare
Yet still I crawl, yet still I stare

It does not see, it does not feel
It is the wound that will not heal
A mouth that births the stars anew
And I am nothing passing through

It does not see, it does not feel
It is the wound that will not heal
A mouth that births the stars anew
And I am nothing passing through

Lantern in the void, it beckons near
A maw beyond the edge of fear
I see the lure, I know the snare
Yet still I crawl...

Lantern in the void, it beckons near
A maw beyond the edge of fear
I see the lure, I know the snare
And still I go, still I despair

Ember in Silence

Atlas I.
