In the Wake Songtext
von Of Spire & Throne

Now end it all
In the presence
Of that simple image
In the presence
Of constant dread
The presence
Of loss

Years hoarded
And overwrought
With the need to last
Caught between the wounding past
And a loathsome future
Weary in their presence


After all this time
Laid waste
Imposing upon ease
Inducing loss
A requiem
To honour the memories
No longer
Recalled
Such value
In decay

A need to withdraw
Explore the unmediated
A lone voice
To years lost
Another dream
Swept aside
For the merely repeating
Surrounded by the means
To fail again
A lone voice
These years lost

These vows to which I have been bound
Weary of the grip I′ve held
Wrought with vision
No longer sought
My heart first opened
To boundaries expanse


All was lost
In instant
For now I wield
Fear and risk

I've known the steps
I take

This barren
Surround
