Into the Vista
Deep sight of mortal sleep
Regards in stylised birth
Each welcome trail to further weave
Through the influence of waking hours
Seek now sanctuary
So far departed from all comfort
Through the hidden realms of the blasphemous deception
Beyond the sentient masquerade
And into the vista
Guiding phantoms unto lesser endeavours
Seeking skylines that thread deceptive light
Illuminate the grandeur
Guises unveiled
The charade is spent and worth but a pause
Time is better hidden, sights unseen
So take your moment, fickle heavens
Swathed so deftly by design
In haunting stillness
Which mocks our every flaw
Sat beside a throne within sacred archways
I hold my hand up high
I behold the music
It trails across the sky
I behold the music
Never wrought from waking sight
I stitch the skyline in spirals
Aurora entwined to light the guise
The mask of chaos slipped once more
In drifting evanescence
Perception awry
In boundless journeys
Of our creations

Blossom in Rapture
Had you finally returned?
As mist descended
With a distant cry
Through the grey I wandered
But you were not there
The guardians of my soul
Evergreens watched from afar
The wind laid her final touch
Nightfall…
The calmest cloud will yet bear rain
The slowest river will leak disdain
Arms outstretched
No certain relief
My heart sinks
Welcoming grief
And my heart sinks
I loathe to go on
Through the woods and limpid pools
Slaking my thirst
As your voice lingers within thoughts
Hark, morning birdsong had returned
Gentle like whispers caress
Its time for me to leave
Here in this forest

Onirica
From endless bleak journeys
Neath the astral painted sky
On these forgotten landscapes
How far need I go?
To no avail I try to reach the shore
As thunder echoed dismay
The north star guides my path
Nameless
Dreamless
Deep waters
Lilies fold together
To which set ablaze
Falling beyond time
Where I cease to care
I hoped for the light
You have disheartened me, dear Sun
Misery finally whispered my name
Morning finally breaks
As solemn clouds gather in
As skies begin to bruise
Through dream and myth
Amid the lake and lilies aflame
Misery finally whispered my name

Prometheus
O’ you, bright sky of heaven
You swift winged breeze
And infinite laughter of the waves
O’ universal mother Earth
To you
The great all seeing orb of the Sun
To you I call
See what I, a god, endures from the gods
Let me speak
Of this gift
Taken from the spark of a Sun
A Jupiter’s scorn engulfed the sky
See what I, a god, endures from the gods
A tale of misery
Knowing my passion will lead to your pain
Your anguish
Your fear
A tale of misery
Knowing my passion will lead to your anger
Your hate
Your end
Woe
Please remember
As fear falls from the skies
Landing down at my side
My children
My beautiful children
O’ universal mother Earth
To you
The great all seeing orb of the Sun
To you I call

Tides of The Sea
I roved through the freezing fog
That contorted at my voice
Beneath the vast, gold set Sun
I was jaded and cold
Rays of light
Pierced the clouds
Reflecting towards the coast
A lucent beacon had undone
The fog now mild upon the surface
The light house turns the last turn
I am consumed by the blackness
The waves my gown
Let the clouds part by the winds that brought me here
As the lightless stars guide me
Rids me of my spite
This curtain falls on this stage of life
A mute note is played beneath inert waters
I am free
I am alone
I am gone
Probing into the abyss where I slumber
As my souls rests amongst the waters
I will be forgotten
This purgatorial dreamscape relents
Where time and chaos slowed to one
Forever the tides shift with the sands
In harmony with the Moon

The Godless Shade
Beyond the mirror I saw her life
Cold and alone, beautiful enigma
I , I dwell within your sepulchre
Waiting for the end of sombre rains
A tune I sing to pass those awful hours
My notes now tragic and dull
How loud need this tempest sigh
When the pitch of dusk grew long
When light absconds with silence
When I slumber
Beyond the mirror
I saw her life, cold and alone
Apparitions of dolour and sorrow
Now reflecting how hollow
And wretched she had become.
My hand still could not reach
Through the glass nor stone
In the realms of humble sleep
Contrast to her aura
She was aflame like fury
Within the hidden blaze was beauty
Awake, I return once again
As dark shadows skulk these halls
Memories of her now escape me
Through those splintering shards
As I crack every bone in my hand
Once again

Ode to the Albatross

Ode to the Albatross
He who cuts open the wounds of an ocean
To watch the blue slake the ground
Who moves the great white squalls
Effortless motion without sound
Who takes wings to the clouds
Over lands from west to east
Til the sandglass spills no more
Til the fall of man and beast
The albatross in majestic flight
Adornment of ocean and sky
Towards magnolia sands
Creature born from wind, fly!
Boatmen wait for their call
Beneath the blackened Sun
"Albatross, give us a sign
But please, it's not our time, at all"
Soaring above the docks
Strong the breeze of grief blew
And bellowed from the rocks
Dancing silhouettes follow his path
How beautiful he soar
Above his utopia
King to desolate shore
And burden to the mariner
He heralds the end of ages
His black eyes watch
Gazing vistas
His black eyes watch
Gazing ancient vistas
Bringer of death
Beauty incarnate
King of the sky, fly!
He, who cuts open the wounds of an ocean
To watch the blue slake the ground
Who moves the great white squalls
Effortless motion with no sound

Polaris
Shimmering Polaris
Moments within the dark
Burning into our eyes
Burning into our hearts
Sadness moaned from the depths
As if the Earth shared our sorrow
We watched beyond the night
Harkening to the silent sky unfold
As we prevail
By the fleeting light
Until the morning Sun
Caressed the dawn filled sky
Until we soar above
The mask merged with the quiet
Father, be with me as we prevail from the dread
To purge the gloom that never seems to gleam
But Lo'!
The welkin!
Lied courageous colours
As noctilucent clouds
Began to smother
Our mortal coil
A mask merged with the quiet
And we remember
Until we soar above
The mask merged with the quiet
And as memories formed
Delirious from the æther

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons.
