about

The third single from the album, and another one of the older songs from "Syncretist".

The initial idea for this song came together so quickly, and so early on, that I wasn't even sure if it was for this album. It wasn't until I revisited the track a year later, wrote new lyrics for it, and totally revamped the arrangement that it really clicked for me, and I knew it was going to be an important song for me.

lyrics

Under sheets of blackened ice,
A scarlet shine.
Assured in confusion,
My binded eyes.

~

Tear to tendon, it feels,
A brief pinch,
A mere inconvenience.

~

Faith becomes the fault,
Lest you take it all,
Time left to live for,
To learn your place.

~

Hidden, but in dawn's unfurl,
This scarlet shine,
Revealing, the shedding shell,
Widened eyes.

~

Centuries of doubt,
Empty lives,
Within or without.

~

Faith becomes the fault,
Lest you take it all,
Time left to live for,
To learn your place.

Faith becomes the fault,
Lest you take it all,
Time left to live for,
And always more...

~

We hide a blade-marred hand,
Place inside all uncertainty,
I hold it to my cheek,
Your empty hand.
