1.
Glide through shadows As we stalk our prey Silver goddess Light our way
2.
Vanishing 06:13
A thousand voices gone Ripped from the mortal song Outcast. Burden. The ulcer tears and bleeds The wound that's corrupting Silent. Ruin. Their hollow eyes betray the pain Peel back the lies, expose our shame Speak for those who can speak no more Scream out for those who screamed alone Daughters victimized Betrayed and stigmatized Worthless. Harlot. Sisters vanishing A nation's tragedy Blinding darkness
3.
Brilliant glimmer breaking the horizon Arms held outstretched with your offering Lift your face to the hope a new dawn brings Grateful to greet the morning sun again Our breath flowing touching distant leaves On wings of song and dreams At the river's edge we feel connected To the vast mystery Our skin, our bones, our blood We are children of the Earth Walk with kindness Honour all relations Let our songs ring out in harmony Live in reverence Value all creation Beneath each stone find divinity
4.
No mark where we lay Our names not engraved But not forgotten Beneath the cross we found no shelter Within its shadow we found no saviour We squeezed our eyes to disappear As the footsteps drew ever near Midnight wings caress the sky Through the mist the raven's cry Calls us home Nightmares stalked the night Shadows stole the light Behind our eyes A mother's hope stifled by waiting A family's pain through generations We invoked your name with our last breath To guide you here where we now rest No name, no marker
5.
The Vigil 10:06
Oh sacred titan of the sky The vault of heaven opens wide With wings of light to speed the dawn Talons poised to smite Those who ignore Her song Stoke the fire Let smoke from primal cauldrons rise Blazing spires Uniting earth and skies Through ash crusted land Push forth from Her womb Divine transformation Restore what once was ruined Sentinel arise Keep vigil through the night Celestial ally Starlit hope until first light When ancient pacts have been betrayed Cries of reprisal fill the air Vengeful colossus, cleansing rain Restores the balance in Her name
