Galt Aureus

The mordant wall above, Poured its stone- flooding us, As I spoke in furtive gusts, What soon would become- Apart, they'll endow you with fears of me. (I'm not afraid) Demand, Death or the Secret. Don't you lose sight- Mock them in spite, Descant...

Late is the hour you come here with pleas and claims I won't bear, to save what remains: a flickering choked in a rising smoke. I welcome no call upon a grace offered not to this one, and my centuries of searching the dust will not be undone. Leave me...

The subtle charge of mine, promised no solace, now I've little time, with the dawn drawn high. The shrieking veil that night, burned of fury in my eyes; then I rose nearer the sun, with dark work just begun.  

Madame, take leave, retire straight away, for monsieur has begged a word with fate, where I'll take aim, and he'll fire late, and I will oblige this fervent wish of his to die. At dawn, let honor be our law, at dawn, you'll find I have no need for words...

This is not penitence, I confess I have done no wrong, my reticence will save him, if the agony is not too strong. Before the fall, in that untouchable place; behind a wall of time: an impervious glass holds back the light, from before the fall. I c...

It's just contempt calling you out, when everyone else kneels down. You scream in your head, cut tongue from your mouth, when everyone else is so loud, bellowing the only phrase they know now, "bottoms up: the city is sinking!" Let them rot, if nobody f...

The wake has gone, mortar comes. Wall it up, and dig out my grave. Don't you hold me now, as my time runs out, don't you stay around, you can't save me from, what's coming down. They twist the wires, a charge unfolds, wound it up and let it go, t...

The die is cast, your ferry waits, genuflect, your match is met, like Charlemagne come to say the grace, with Saxony to be razed: I haven't come to stay. Conquerors lay before my turned thumb, if I say pallbearers will march you off this earth: it is do...

Frost glasses me over. But my blackest eyes are warm to your concerto, aria to our first night, blue ice flowers, requiem to our innocence. Shy together never, rose petals to monuments of us, in our walking in the sun, I am still ice. Hey, hold my hand,...

We'll lay it to rest, and send it off right, with a finger pointed straight up to the sky. We've talked it to death, and I know you've changed, and I'll try not to be more of the same. So drop the match, let it go, burn these memories to pitch; drop the...

Nothing but dust in these streets, I'm kicking up memories that belong beneath my feet. Such a long road to find hope, then you just crawl up and sink right into me, hey, I feel you seep in, I know you're deep beneath my skin, hey, I feel you seep in, I hold...

Nothing but dust in these streets, I'm kicking up memories that belong beneath my feet. Such a long road to find hope, then you just crawl up and sink right into me, hey, I feel you seep in, I know you're deep beneath my skin, hey, I feel you seep in,...

Red cloud rise, exigent fallout. In the wake- legions. Echoes of a thousand paces. Closing in. Are you with me? Are you with me? This, the abyssal end. Legions. Milia; One thousand to one. These brothers who stand by me, will fall beside me. For beauty. For...

Your word like sacrament, Pantomime for castaways among the dead, Is this the rapture? Where I've seen men lay down first their lives then, lay down their guns after their lives have left them, When I've seen white lies and the black fog of wartime, Cho...

A rising eye, eclipse the sky, gold and fire, will be the sign: Opus Aurei. 

come on, come on, they expect us to leave? well this city is ours, just follow my lead, first, let's dispense with any regrets, they'll tear at your seams just to watch you bleed out. off we go, into this night we own, and then, who knows? from the tow...

If there was no autopsy in 1947, just a man in his flat in Camden; What of the Aztec crash, and the Hills' missing past? Did the Phoenix Lights fall from the sky? Is the truth hidden safe? I'd settle for knowing there is a truth. I want to believe, th...

anyone left there inside, anyone left alive? will I hear your whispers, or the deafening wail of sirens? tell me is there anyone inside? I know you waited for me here, blind by your tears, all alone, all these years, could I lose you dear, when I am...

I'm coming over and I'm sorry you said, I really don't care if it's silence by 10, let them hear that I'm sharing your bed, and there's more to say tonight though, my lips are sealed, oh they're sealed to you. and my eyes are fixed, so sudden too, yeah,...

War! Minerva cry war - thirst - lust for blood. Dressed in arms, venom in her sight, poisoning empires, grace draws me nearer her side, to die. Come nightfall, lie here with me, come nightfall, I want it to feel like war. Ignis aurum probat, ashes t...

If floods will come all our lives, just climb the stairs, let the water rise, we'll build ourselves up to a towering height. From the hollow of our hands, all we've never had: bright lights, in our own Versailles, everything becomes alive: our own ch...

The silence keeps it easy Keeps you safe for the moment As you're walking away Your footsteps get louder All you needed was time But now time will destroy us It will all be over and here we are We're stuck inside this salted earth together You'll pier...

When the dark became glittering hail, they watched you shattering in free fall collapse: You're a pulse in a pile of glass. You look at me like I'm Apollo, your bright hero, shining to keep you safe, like I am the light. I will shield you in, a ra...

High from the mast, I muse of a past, deep under shore, a life untold, a life swallowed whole. I never knew, my end would come so soon. And never knew, death brings dreams of you, and then: red seas. Horror behold! I shout down below. My only th...

You're the spiral stile up over the gate, you're the alchemist's poison just lying in wait, you're the anaesthesia fleeing from the surgical blade, as I lie there, voiceless, completely awake. How deep fear does go; am I to follow? When look what hope br...

You flash your eyes, the Armada of our time and... When winter's falling all around me, the snow is piling up for miles, you make the sun brighten up, so I can see just what you're made of. Flash your eyes: the Armada of our time, and this galleon of...

Three winters pass, Revealing I'm the last, Finally my wrath has come, I'll stand behind no one... You flash your eyes, The Armada of our time, And this galleon of mine goes down. As the widening abyss surrounds.... You took everything from me, And...

I heard the beautiful, longing words, and knew that's just what comes first. she's speaking a slow, black hearse, to carry me out. I saw the sultry, unending dance, the vile, inviting glance, pointed away from me- I know just what this means. I learn...

Every line is a dirge, of ashes to dust, a cavalcade at the point of a gun. Every line is a perjury, down the throat to your lust, and everything else they'll starve you of. And the one passes on to the many headed tyrant. And the one becomes just one...

Trenched your way, this man mined, now stands to elide, your solemn truths, in foul light, resigned. Fallen pews, rise again, shackles grinning wide, failing sight, listen close, redeem your... Lost, assailed, but its bindings pale to you. In repellant...

Would it be that I bow quietly and leave, and wonder ever if you'd chosen me? or join the procession of faithful suitors, passing sated just to hear you breathe? or wait plain in sight, in secrecy, bare thread and seams? I beg tonight, all my wits revea...

Come out, come out, to the crashing sounds, telltale signs 'round your tangled mind, where all the ghosts unwind. Oh you, get out, get out, while you still can, oh my head is filled tonight with: "what if..." I can see it now, our lives forever, no...

And he says, signal the fleet, on his mark, everyone you know, begins to leave, all you have left: blacks out their retreat, all you have left: is the swarm above your head, you felt her fall away, calling out your name, as she became, the Queen of...

The shadow of the Dominion flag stalks across an ash-made land; and you hung low in my arms, and that's all that I had. What have you done, my love, what have you done- corrupting the only thing I had loved? "I have become what I must become," she said....

no one listened there but men, and hearts rot still as they did then, now I don't want to be the one to say it, but maybe this one's too far gone for change. they listened peacefully to sins, between the static and the wind, and as another hundred sleep...

Melisma of suffering, his black word of death: bares solemn throats, for thick crimson breath. Corpse fountain of shame, swill of ink ordained, veneficus ruinae, all foul deeds' blame, yes, you've many names. Necavit maestum tuum, donum cruentum d...

My den of wolves has circled you, seems you call my name... You've roused my hate- now I'll explain. You don't want to find out too late, I'm not a God fools slay. You don't want to find out too late, a sway of my arm leaves you erased. so make haste t...
