Scattered Like Ash

by Nick Leonard

1.
Let the rivers flow red And the plagues come Your heart will not be turned Until you've lost everything He will judge the nations, Heaping up the dead Crushing the rulers Of the whole earth Ruler of the past Vacant guarded stare
2.
All ways lead to Distance covered beyond time The ladder stands before me to pass or fail Until we find a way outside Of this twisting world, distorted view, The fire that burns deep inside Close your eyes feel the heat Of the ember that you grasped so tight The fading heat you never left New roads To walk down another old path Turn around and See what you've left behind is coming back again

Betrayer 05:25
Watchful eyes through the fog A white veil emerges closing in Cold mist surrounds me and Drags me deeper to the source We're still here, standing still Never left, never could Pale shoreline The waves crashing down Another empty tomb forgotten Another fading wound Hanging there In the field of blood What have you done You know there's no escape Betrayer, come to me Eternity, waits for you In the noise In the tortured screams I hear your voice Crying out Take my hand Despair isn't all that's left Die to this life Flee from the dark

Waking Again 03:35
Arising again on the rock of solitude Rain falls upon me As if to forge a new path Before my eyes Arising again on the rock of solitude Rain falls upon me As if to forge a new path Before my eyes A glimmer upon the stone That leads me towards A light in the distant cavern Beckons me Through faded eyes I saw I saw a way ahead and the future it brings Though the way wasn't clear I saw a way ahead and the future it brings I set my course for it Engage my sails
5.
Entombed In a shroud of gold Awaiting with beating heart - to see What has passed and what's to come What is finished and what's left undone Arise on feeble legs And walk along with me Away, just let it pass It's not the end, the chains have been let loose Just let the waves crash down The memories are fading still And I have no say When the tide retreats My light grows dim
6.
How long must I await you on the shore The light in the distance never coming closer And I feel that I will be trapped here waiting Forever more Dust is rolling in Wash away your memories Tragedy comes fast Taking away life Breaking your bonds Scattered like ash

Epilogue 02:13

about

A project themed around new directions, both musically and personally. I pushed myself to add more instruments, singing, and vocal harmonies than I was used to writing with earlier releases. It's also a precursor to the next big project and a testing ground for new arrangement and writing ideas.

Remixed and remastered in September 2020
