Esben and the Witch

These strange metal lie voices Gleaming white and breeding light Delve under your brow Delve under my brow Folding, unfolding They whisper colours Watch the rainbows Hood Dancing, we're dancing Pebbles flirting with our toes Listen to our heartbeats g...

We bathed in light From the hands of our God We bathed in light From the hands of our God We couldn't hear a thing From the mouth of our God We bathed in light From the hands of our God Light, light, light, light, light We bathed in light 

At first the fingers start to twitch The blood is set in commotion The feet start to beat Strange tattoos on the street A warmth floods fast (They grow wild) The devil's dived Inside their minds Everyone's on fire Like mad dogs they slather Writhing...

A semblance of truth, this semblance of me Strikes such a chord, it deafens my ears. Keep your head on, collect yourself It's all I can do to assemble myself. The hooks act quick, the barbs dig deep With eagerness as the sickle reaps. I feel blood feath...

The smoke of your giving the name when I'm close let's having your 'Cause nobody knows when we all, sorry for the bumping climb when you fall. When you've come to when you've come to when you've come to when you've come too far. Sweet shoes...

As the clouds drew, so the rains came, turning the dust to dirt. And the rocks jut and the banks block, but the river it goes right on. Slog through, skirt hitched, knee-deep in mud. We’ll be there, covered in earth, ‘cause we’re the people who live, and we...

Yes we're free and we are mad, That's a knife you see, shining in my hand. I will take what's mine, For the hours has come and now this is our time. Yes we're savage and uncouth, We've a taste for blood and we will take you tooth by tooth. So run wild,...

These good hearts Are falling fast With these black marks Too far inscribed A vicissitude Scores your palm A soul bequeathed To martyrdom Chevalier To witch i'm bound Pulls me I don't blame you I don't blame you For we are men Who seek to undo th...

Contours Refract Patchwork Casket Enclose Pinfold Crystal Fortress Run fast my friend For lingers find Their way inside Shaken minds The cold it grows As the light declines Come here I'll cover you Just close your eyes Close your eyes The...

Intrepid heart, a daunting task All eyes on the paler path Calcite cleaves, the light it leads Where clouds part, to skies clear Impelled to find, for peace inside Just what does lie in other minds I'll leave this place, I'll disappear Elucidating by p...

You and I have become entwined Where the calcium meets the current At the shoreline I watch you lace the light Across the lines And as you die Oil pours from the sky Engine breaks Engine blows Flicker and fade I stop, look to the skies With an open...

Hear my tongue, my Heaving lungs, Expelling notes, Open throat. Sing your secrets, I'll be your healer. Writhe that body To the ceiling. Read my lips, I speak of bliss. Spider's threads Pour from my head. Uncoil Your spiral, Slowly unravel Fo...

In a wilderness of foggy thoughts battling with your minds retorts and walking on empty plains where deserts so calm even drowning rains Soldier on to this marching song head held high with eyes fixed strong Drum beat died cymbal crash down the mu...

I never thought I'd find myself So far Away from you Distant memories Swell As this sea Unfurls This sad descent Magnificent One last lament Magnificent Holy bodies Shafts of light Luminaries Fire fight 

With an arch of the neck and the bristling of fur I'll cling to the earth with a footing that's sure With sinewy limbs, pounding the ground By the scruff of your neck, I'll hold you for hours As brutes in a brawl, in an exchange of blows I'll spring for...

We slowly clomb, this crowd of beasts. a wild throng, with homemade wings. a golden rush of hopeful fiends, set to redeem. we mounted steps, to take the sky. to rise above horizon lines. across the plain came the brigade. the glowing line, a m...

Cut in two, Slice right through This puppy's fat, From grey to black. Rip apart To reach its heart, Its friendly flesh, A cosy mess. Now I am one with you at last. Now I am one with you at last. (Now you are one with me at last) I climbed inside...

Shapes melt in the air The horizon becomes a tear You cut quite the figure I watch you shimmer Scratching my eyes, The castles in the skies are towering. I see you standing there, Bent double in the glare You are stooping. The sky is on the sand, Th...

I saw myself soundly sleeping Supine, divine, lost in dreamtime Leave me here, in the reaches Cut the silver cord to ribbons Slow wave slumber tears asunder Subtle bodies travel higher Leave me here, in the reaches Cut the silver cord to ribbons Wak...

We locked a steely gaze That made us shiver. Caged in the concaves, We were cast in silver. And in our rapture we saw Faces, vibrating. And to our horror we thought That our eyes were failing. Spear this terrible fish, The glass it ripples. Clear...

The swans begin to bellow, Bellies full of pearls, Screaming down the houses, Whilst the willows start to fool. Bow their boughs and buckle, The curtains they are drawn, The cavalcade and symmetry, Commands for those to move. The mutiny process...

A golden wreath of blazing leaves Is curling from the smoking trees. The fire snakes and sears its name, Verdant greens in an orange haze. Through blackened poles it wafts and wends, Ribbons weaving paths of flame. Yellow ghosts with fervent rage, In c...

I thought I saw you by the side, Illuminating foreign climes. A figment, a splinter, a vessel for me To wander as freely as I'll ever be. Shrapnel stars puncture brightly, Wounding skies that stretch so widely Over dunes of dust, in shades of rust, Whe...

Through the thicket's vines A damp web sprawls, the insects crawl. Deep, I will cut, Desire lines, straight to the heart. Inside the anarchy Of knotted boughs with hanging crowns, Paths, I will carve, With my blade, I'll penetrate. Green, an endless gr...

Up with the clouds, floating into the ether, Light in your eyes, light as a falling feather. Dreaming of love in a fantasy city, Now lost in the blinding glare of a sun. Into the stars and inside the galaxies, A compass of fire outlining palaces. A piec...

You shine, a slice of silver light And I am tethered to my kite. Bound by beams, your pearly rays, A Queen, whose name I'll gladly praise. So lead me through the dark, Your fingers clawing at my heart. Clutching me against your breast, Inside your croo...

Poured away into a shallow Pool of oils, spilling colours Mesmerised by her visage Appearances emulsified Stationed at the basin's edge A fisherman waiting to catch The prize that lies beneath the screen Of gold and blues and tangerines When she grow...

These eyes see carmine Through concrete, masks Amid fantasies of Strangers I'm indulging myself This fractious fever Is fervent with Feelings of extinction This violence is Silenced By consequence Keep these secrets In my skin Craving chrome On...

Show me back to the path, Where the ground has split in half, Like the claws of a cloven hoof. Where the shelves have shifted fast, Raising highways for the lost Explorers, searching for truth. Fault lines disappear Now the hanging wall is here, Impos...
