Extracts from Hemera's Interruption (01/02/09)

From "Angel-Tongued Song":

Violins sound for all to hear
A wretched angel-tongued song
And choirs of silver-scaled fish
Are troubled, answered by none
Of the spirits that did decree to them
That they will never be misled
Witness your promise now my loves
Their strings now left for dead

From "Lamb and Lion Tamed":

Mirror Queen she cannot fall
Into the shallow soil
So raise your sweet-grim mistletoe
And toast to no avail
In witness to the ever long
Lasting breath of foil
She hides beneath her skin and flesh
A heart of blistered steel

From "Hemera's Interruption":

Welcome to the Song Bird
Welcome to the Song
Welcome to the Song Bird
Welcome to the Song

Now dawn has broke and sparrow sings
Nyx slips back to her westward home
Her daughter’s turn it now is
To raise the world in her golden throne

From "Má Xaet Viala":

Mimo vae vialen dresh soor orlien?
Rin nol vaser kimukori pesh
Nol raetin hynas lior áruilen enci lia?
Vae ordu harlien ionoresh

From "Creep, Crawl, Stand":

Creep
There is no shelter here
A show of grim and gruesome luck
Beneath the caves and hollows deep
Where from the bells do sound

From "2o":

20 is the time and place
When face and mind and body glow
It’s here inside this roaring wind
Where the untold will be all I know
