Do not carry of my moon
Won't you bring her back to me
Oh joy of the birds
Sharing a nest is why they sing

Compassion stirs as they pluck their strings
Become one soul composed of two wings

Love, soar!
Hearts, roar!
I pour you into me

Her fear sinks deep in night
His love will rise with the dawn
And as his brush drips fuchsia
He paints the sky upon that which she has drawn

Compassion stirs as they pluck their strings
Become one soul composed of two wings

Love, soar!
Hearts, roar!
I pour you into me

My moon brings tides as she swims on high
Our heart will sail across the sky

My Moon Single

My Moon

Close to beauty, but not close enough,
Touch her explore her, she quivers at the slightest touch
Courage is born there, the coward he dies
Blankets of snow cover footprints of lies

Surround me
Completely

Every new wind holds a blizzard at bay
Her sky is left open, swim in the milky way
And as her roots entangle with mine
Our hearts intertwine into something divine

Surround me
Completely

And we shall jump from star to star
Not knowing what is our own
Just like the kings of old

Palace of Dreams EP

Palace of Dreams

Isolated into the dark
Now's my time to disembark
The truth brings out hurtful remarks
You can't take back

You ran away from winter's bite
Guard your head, stay out of sight
Now your guide will be moonlight
Wherever you are

Beauty starts to redeem
Waking you from your daydream
And you will be released

When living in awe is just a trance
When you're too down to earth, there's no romance
But if you speak up, and just take a chance
You might be heard

Beauty starts to redeem
Waking you from your daydream
And you will be released

When you're set apart to be unique
Beauty springs forth to redeem the mystique
When your love is strong, but you feel weak
Now it's the mountains and the trees that speak

Released

Fissure

We all think we know ourselves 
Sound the alarm and ring the bells 
I met my other side 

Your mind becomes a silhouette 
When just being human won't get 
You through the night 

Break the cage 
You'll free the beast 
This is holiday 
I am raw instinct

The master forfeits his whip to his slave 
It's the only way that he'll behave 
Though he lives in fear 

All the colors start to blend 
Frame by frame we will transcend 
Into the biosphere 

Break the cage 
You'll free the beast 
This is holiday 
I am raw instinct

Biosphere

Close to beauty, but not close enough
Touch her, explore her, she quivers at the slightest touch
Courage is born there, the coward he dies
Blankets of snow cover footprints of lies

Surround me
Completely

Every new wind holds a blizzard at bay
Her sky is left open, swim in the milky way
And as her roots entangle with mine
Our hearts intertwine into something divine

Surround me
Completely

And we shall jump from star to star
Not knowing what is our own
Just like the kings of old

Arcane

Palace Of Dreams

Oblivion

A flash of lightening
Candles aglow
The tear is the pearl of the human soul

Dry bones cry
During a drought
Fruit can't grow where life can't sprout

To find my mind 
Was bathed in mist
A violent awakening of consciousness

All masks removed
No more facade
This wildfire will spread abroad

Please take me out to sea

Half submerged
In the abyss
I found comfort in restlessness

With celestial bodies
I beheld the night
Cease the advance I was crowned with light

Eclipsed in white
Divination
Afterglow preserved
Transfiguration

The angels sing
The saints applaud
This wildfire will spread abroad

Please take me out to sea

Compassion, the most beautiful of all your names

The Pearl

Do not carry off my moon
Won't you bring her back to me
Oh joy of the birds!
Sharing a nest is why they sing

Compassion stirs as they pluck their strings
Become one soul, composed of two wings

Love, soar
Hearts, roar
I pour you into me

Her fear sinks deep in night
His love will rise with the dawn
As his brush drips fuchsia
He paints the sky upon that which she has drawn

Compassion stirs as they pluck their strings
Become one soul, compared of two wings

My moon brings tides as she swims on high
Our heart will sail across the sky

Sweet valleys, you were magic
Running water, undying memories turn tragic
Peaks of mountains, might and valor
Trigger landslides, avalanches, doesn't get much louder

Sweet valleys, you were playful
Scent of pine trees, wanderlust becomes fatal
Peaks of mountains, fearless and true
Buildings topples, people panicked, all sanity withdrew

I'm not made to crumble with the ground underneath
I'm not made to be afraid to dream while I'm asleep
I'm not made for lasting weeping and the gnashing of teeth

And as the flower blooms
We leave our graves
And turn our back on our tombs

Sweet Valleys

Heroes go on journeys
Hoping to unearth enchantment
Forget the monsters
And dragons that lie dormant
Waiting to torment

Bravery without fail
Hopes to face down the danger
Forget the evil
And hatred that will torture
Forging a martyr

The odor of death is in the air
The feeling of a real nightmare
The hero is ensnared

Ensnared

Isolated into the dark
Now's my time to disembark
The truth brings out hurtful remarks
You can't take back

You ran away from winter's bite
Guard your head, stay out of sight
Now your guide will be moonlight
Wherever you are

Beauty starts to redeem
Waking you from your daydream
And you will be released

When living in awe is just a trance
When you're too down to earth, there's no romance
But if you speak up and take a chance
You might be heard

Beauty starts to redeem
Waking you from your daydream
And you will be released

When you're set apart to be unique
Beauty springs forth to redeem the mystique
When your love is strong, but you feel weak
Now it's the mountains and the trees that speak

My reality is bloodstain
I tried to drain all that pain
When the kingdom is free, the giant slain
My heart will remain arcane

Bloodstain

Will be releasing one song from our new album every couple of weeks starting in early December.

Our drummer Ashton was trekking on the Everest Base Camp Trail in Nepal on April 25, 2015, when a 7.8 earthquake struck the country. After dodging buildings collapsing, being surrounded by corpses, and witnessing constant aftershocks for an entire week, Ashton was finally able to return safely home to North Carolina. He was later diagnosed with PTSD after showing symptoms such as panic attacks, high anxiety, and depression. Just when no cure seemed to exist, Ashton began to write songs, which became his own means of self-prescribed therapy. With the help of his best friends, his goal was to create an album where listeners could walk with him from day one in the Himalayas, through the earthquake and PTSD, and all the way into his renewal. Having released the Palace of Dreams EP and the single "My Moon," Royal Nature is now only a couple of months out from releasing their full length album, "Arcane."
