​Finding overdue peace in the palms of the land;
The silence of isolation spreading fast through the sand.

​In shame I await your passage, knowing it is nigh;
For even this barren wasteland has more to give than I.

​Fighting through mornings that never forgive;
To discover again the reasons we live.

​Draining away the lies of each wall;
Until the only remaining wisdom may represent us all.

The weight of your discomfort will never equal that of the night.

A world without color has given no motion at all.

​Birds circle overhead in dizzying array;
Left behind by careless thought, swallowed by the day.

​Collection of stones to tell of our misery;
The sun's call obsolete in a wavering sigh.

​Faded skies falling ever further from our sight;
Betraying those who have left us to our plight.

​Paces slow as bones decay;
Making way for the dark to push out the day.

​The sky ablaze with stars unchanging;
The callous stare of a world unyielding.

​Trials renowned with an unknown result;
Surest winters fall away to make way for the sun's cult.

​Leading me deeper into the oaken silence;
To stay beyond the reach of all who've been lost inside.

​Every head turned away under the glare of the stars;
And over wounds we wear a mask to hide if it scars.

​The god of man is a failure
Our fortress is burning against the grain of a shattered sky
Charred birds escape from the ruins and return as cascading blood
Dying bloodbirds pooling, feeding the flood
The god of man is a failure
And all of our shadows are ashes against the grain
-Agalloch // Our Fortress is Burning II

​The empty cavity that will always remain;
Sold heart for another to never attain.

​Fragrant winds pass through the evening air;
The final breath of the soul.

​Listen for the cries, undying in the mist;
Leaving behind worlds that have passed into decay.
