“It’s nothing new we’re doing, my friend,” I said, “in choosing Apollo and Apollo’s instruments ahead of Marsyas and his instruments.”
- The Republic

(Demo) The Flaying Of Marsyas

Hanging so still, longing
Like moss grows on the tree
Our futures intertwining 
But we’re stuck in between

I still hear the whispers
As they’re calling me
Bringing me tomorrow
Where serenity may be

Its tangles run beneath me
Its roots dig into my soul
I pretend not to feel them
Face better things alone

And so we sit here waiting
Beneath the willow tree
And as the moss consumes us
Within the soil, we’ll be

But before you lay your head to rest
I hope that you can say you did your best
uncoiling, unraveling us
and even still I know you have my trust

Bury Me Beneath The Willow Tree (ft. Cassiopeia)

All that remains is strife
As the laughter of demons echoes through the darkness
Oh, the cruelty that the black gods bred
Rides towards me on the glacial winds

I am but a servant of the night
Cloaked in misery and sorrow
But I am without fear, I am Satan’s majesty
And he alone shall I worship

He plays my final requiem
Consecrating my sorrow into eternal stone
And as I turn to listen
The melody penetrates my consciousness

The black lute calls me
Onto his spine, I arrive
Preparing for the horrors he has to show me
We take flight into the dark

I fly on the wings of Satan
I soar on the winds of his creation
Escaping from a ruinous past
Finally I join my brother’s grave

The Unseen

Do I have to play the chase?
I know we’ll end in disgrace
Will I always be afraid?
Too scared to try love again

I see colors flying by
As I trip I wave, they die
Are the feelings really mine
Or like the colors passing by 

I know you just come and go
No expectations only hope
If I don’t satisfy in full
I know I’ll find it on my own

This Is Not A Shoegaze Song

Impaled on the branches
Of the eternal tree
In search of
Wisdom through agony

Runes shining
In the mist
Mysteries of time
Revealed once more

Illuminated in the light
Of aeon
The key appears
Calling for its king

A cry through the centuries
With a primal rage
And fiery hunger
Rising towards the stars

Night of all nights
Embraces its kingdom
This endless migration
Brings no solace
Search of light
Begets but solitude

The Star Exploded
