bury my eyes

|
now gather all your things
and turn away
i burned all the bridges i have buil
ta borrowed hearta blackened flam
eas i wandered through the desert
i called your name
will you be the one?
will you ever wear a smile for me?
where blossoms bloom
we will rot
when daylight dies
i have to go
watch the nightsky
we are stars too
please bury my eyes
i am looking through
will you be the one?
will you ever wear a smile for me?

hell is other people
01:44
|

|
crawling beneath
naked as worms
besides
hell is other people
and so are you
so am i
evidence is mine
just mine
soil is yours
wait for me
kiss baphomet
show me the way outside
only one light
only one rule
you know the way
the sun is gone
a torch is lit
let us escape
your dead body
reflects our souls
all we need
is a light
hell is other people
so are you
so am i

we are a pattern
02:14
|
|||
|
no one knows
when this dream will end
what to defend
what we’re made off
no one knows
why we have to die
our mothers cry
i don’t know
i have the feeling
that our lives
will change
immediately
we are one
your golden eyes
break through the icy dawn
we have no
feelings
a pattern is wrapped
around our thoughts
when we are
together
i have the feeling
that our lives
will change
we are one

dogs of youth
03:23
|
|||
|
we are just
a memory
of a god
we cannot see
inhaling nights
exhaling dreams
no one’s there
or so it seems
so when we’re gone
sing our song
because we are
nothin’ but dust
haunted
by the dogs
of our youth
our dreams are
just an abuse
we try to conquer
paradise
with sharp knives
and blind eyes
know we are gone
sing our song
and tell me
what went wrong

a bird spine
01:54
|
|||
|
a bird spine on the beach
feathers slung around my neck
grey waves are crashing in
while daylight collapses
and the warped birch stands still
while time keeps moving on
and the ocean sings it’s song
of solitude and pain
and i don’t know
where i belong
and i don’t know
but the ocean
sings it’s song
stardust on my skin
a million moons above
i follow your sandy trail
leading me back
home

judas tree
01:58
|
|||
|
judas you lied
as we tried to hide
in the branches
of the trees
judas you lied
as we tried to hide
between sun
and the moon
a gleary light
a gloomy night
and you were
long forgotten
judas tree
hollow victory
judas you lied
as we tried to hide
between smoke
and sleep

opium eater
02:45
|
|||
|
you drank the cup of hemlock
tried to be kind
i tried to be who i am
it was hard for you to talk
an ocean in your blood
saltwater in my heart
waves rushing through our heads
we try to exist
your words meant everything
sadly you couldn’t talk
anymore
anywhere

pull down thy vanity
03:28
|
|||
|
what thou lovest well remains,
the rest is dross
what thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee
what thou lov’st well is thy true heritage
whose world, or mine or theirs
or is it of none?
first came the seen, then thus the palpable
elysium, though it were in the halls of hell,
what thou lovest well is thy true heritage
what thou lov’st well shall not be reft from thee
the ant’s a centaur in his dragon world.
pull down thy vanity, it is not man
made courage, or made order, or made grace,
pull down thy vanity, I say pull down.
learn of the green world what can be thy place
in scaled invention or true artistry,
pull down thy vanity,
paquin pull down!
the green casque has outdone your elegance.
“master thyself, then others shall thee beare”
pull down thy vanity
thou art a beaten dog beneath the hail,
a swollen magpie in a fitful sun,
half black half white
nor knowst’ou wing from tail
pull down thy vanity
how mean thy hates
fostered in falsity,
pull down thy vanity,
rathe to destroy, niggard in charity,
pull down thy vanity,
i say pull down.

Compendium [Free Download]
by In Gowan Ring
supported by 7 fans who also own “HOLLOW VICTORY”
Excellent medieval folk, IGR, & those with ears to hear. I love the sense of mysticism and deep, introspective ponder this album conveys, & the honest down-to-earth folky lyrics. Simply wonderful yet soulfully rich. Highlights for me are tracks 2, 5, 6, & 12. IGR truly capture what I feel is an authentic sense of a medieval bard at a woodland rill pondering the mysteries of life. Highly recommended. 8.5+/10.
