Hand Of Kalliach Shade Beyond (demo) 1. Fàilte Tharraing an cuan dlùth orm agus bha an guth soilleir Fàilte gu òran dubh na cailleach Placid once, awakened now Malice in intent Iron turns to stone once more As old and frail lament One last task awaits us still Before the dying day Cuidich mi mo charaid Thoir dhomh do neart Fiodh Construct deliverance from sanctum Iarann Grind the earth into a blade Ohr Pulls the hearts from safer harbours Sannt Draws the fools to early graves Oidhche Give to us the veil of shadow on approach Madainn Light the way to ruined future torn asunder Teine Cleanse and sanctify the towers of the blind Fuil Feed the thirsting soil, turn the wheel anew That silver stretched above Mercury below Its call brings bleaker times Colour drained in snow Whispers over horizons Stir you from your sleep The light that faded first Is the last you keep Fiodh Construct deliverance from sanctum Iarann Grind the earth into a blade Ohr Pulls the hearts from safer harbours Sannt Draws the fools to early graves Oidhche Give to us the veil of shadow on approach Madainn Light the way to ruined future torn asunder Teine To the flesh and the sanctification of fortresses held by the blind Fuil As the wine to the soil below to drive out phantom dormant in mind Hear echoes hollowed still Rings once but screaming clear That stone now ground to dust As your shade beckons near Wearied clocks trace eights The grains lie still and blue Glance not back at ash now The stems will rise anew 2. Fathoms Northmost point of a western shore, horizon fades as the lights burn low, Fire stays the teeth, as you watch it burn, And cast off the stone that your mind has grown Waters return That single purpose Colour fades Left ashore Currents pull you Through shades of thought now Gaze into the Fathoms below Down, deeper down, past obsidian rock, The tide pulls harder, at sinew and bone, Fire stay the fear, as you watch it burn The waves rise to greet you, welcome you home Waters return That single purpose Colour fades Left ashore Currents pull you Through shades of thought now Gaze into the Fathoms below Devour the doubt with fire anew All paths have led to this moment Now written in time Captured eternal And cast to the floors Embrace the fire Harness the fear Stare through the abyss Scream Down, deeper down, freed from the bond Fathoms rise up, grasping and cold Memory ride past you down through the deep Face the faceless, tear open the door 3. Overwhelm Face to the earth, stare through the eyes Wielding the stone, cut through the lies Search for the source of the agony sent Channel the frost of that winters lament Overwhelm this mortal core Draw from final form One last breath and your Cry becomes a storm Smother the earth, dress it in white Summer undone, the last fading light Shatter the doubt with the touch of your hand Spirit of winter now kneel where you stand Overwhelm this mortal core Draw from final form One last breath and your Cry becomes a storm The futures that lie here Below that tired space Truth ensnared in stone Answers ancient trace Imprinted through the strands Of past disaster wove Fraying spectre fades Pale upon the cold Violent the sea, treachery deep Awaken the hag, from darkest sleep Grasp firm the handle of iron and bone Imbue the stones with the memories torn Overwhelm this mortal core Draw from final form One last breath and your Cry becomes a storm 4. White Horizon Close inside, earth pushes my hands Fleeting void, the great expanse Spins the disc Falling, monolith turns tight Silence That gloried radiance of Solar fire ignites above Hold fast To glittered stone or these Silvered days will be Undone This creation, this new perception Cursed to seek purpose, but never find That twice warped vision, twists the edges Undermined by response in kind Returning now from lucid dream To glimpse the shade beyond The root torn from the deeper soil That long since shattered bond Nightfall blue, and starlight lost Lunar white, eyes burn red Ghosts scream out at these transgressions Tearing into choice unsaid Skin stretched and muscles worn Time drags over, starlit tome Light below, the voices hollow Horizon calls to draw me home This creation, this new perception Cursed to seek purpose, but never find That twice warped vision, twists the edges Undermined by response in kind Returning now from lucid dream To glimpse the shade beyond The root torn from the deeper soil That long since shattered... No I will not go in silence I will carve this promise In fire If there is a way I will find it To return from white horizon Awakened under ash To witness this undone This creation, this new perception Cursed to seek purpose, but never find That twice warped vision, twists the edges Undermined by response in kind Returning now from lucid dream To glimpse the shade beyond The root torn from the deeper soil That long since shattered bond It takes it's toll Slips through the hand Wears the pillar Stones to sand It takes it's toll Slips through the hand Wears the pillar Stones to sand The book of steel The shattered bond Beckons relentless The truth beyond The book of steel The shattered bond Beckons relentless The truth beyond 5. In Tempest Wrought Into the dusk light Reflections in snow That most crimson sky Now mirrored below The last wick falters Those shades grow tall That creeping chill Fell ethereal call The voices again Carried far on the wind Warnings to heed Calls harsher squalls in Tha I na seasamh Air an uisge Na gabh dargh Tha an teine deiseil Keep me Closer Let time wash Over Truth and Illusion Are one at Horzion Beckon This tempest Return and With one breath Cleanse this Once more Ignite that Void core Fade Into the astral light below Draw The pull of waters rising Breathe Once more and reach the surface Gaze See reflections torn Shards lose edges The roots overgrown The husk of the present The fate of that sown Defy the sands Redraw the line Recast the die And reshape this time Keep me Closer Let time wash Over Truth and Illusion Are one at Horzion Focus this mind Rise hammer with storm Cast regrets to forge Resolution reborn The time that's past That endless knot This future is In tempest wrought Through these waters and mists Through tainted air and dust These old machines encased In centuries of rust Undone the wreckage strewn Unsung the vanquished dead Deserved that bloodied halo Hung over your head This new decay That must repeat the cycle These murderous hands That are never idle The skyward phantoms That fly from fathoms Those last lost souls of Innocence Bite down hard Slash cut and rip and tear Taste this cold menace Thick upon the air Keep me Closer Let time wash Over Truth and Illusion Are one at Horzion Focus this mind Rise hammer with storm Cast regrets to forge Resolution reborn The time that's past That endless knot This future is In tempest wrought That flow defined That ending cast Take back in blood That stolen past The final strike Old hammer rings The edge reforged And the voice still sings Keep me Closer Let time wash Over Truth and Illusion Are one at Horzion Focus this mind Rise hammer with storm Cast regrets to forge Resolution reborn The time that's past That endless knot This future is In tempest wrought
