YomaBarr And that's how it goes - everybody jumps at hyped stuff when diamonds lie ditched on the side of the road.
ABM, of the strong and wrathful kind. Flattening and authentic. Nothing weepy or soppy about it, and even if the music sucked which it totally doesn't I'd buy it for the lyrics. Great job! Just I'd prefer all vocals harsh.

Rust and Dun 12:18
stand among rust and dun while the vane turns in the songs of the earth the barren ground is cracked and worn beneath my feet light the flame beyond the cloudless sky has no relief, the crown of Sol light the flame and take me on here is no rain and weathered hands behold the earth here is no rain; in reverence of failing we flee turning for the sea, longing for the end fill me, fill me, fill my body with salt take me, take me, take me over, take me far from here here is no rain and weathered hands behold the earth here is no rain; in reverence of failing we flee rain, wash away, cleanse me wind, take me on, take me
2.
beleaguered by lashings (take me on) calling to beneath the waves, echoes forgotten by the storm there is no redemption within the howling gail the sound of the white wings is beyond the burden i carry is of the peregrine whose body i held in years gone by (take me down) shadow and white caps wrest control saline surrender to the one below all mercy beyond hope and i am overcome with sorrow for they, the tormented the deadwood is rising as in this tempest i release my dead body from its life i face the sky, i drink the sea deep blue, cover me for all the horror cry silence, follow the past and consume inhale the burden, embrace the past to which the storm is known the tempest, the maelstrom, the anguish and hate, possessing the always beyond i will die as a dream you never had
3.
behind me stood the gleaming walls and earth unfurls before a veil drawn in faded wings of ochre, bathed in light no white bird flies through mordant rain yet i, the peregrine, go on the current of ochre rust-washes fields of emptiness abandoned hope, shrouded in red unyielding tides the dust-ridden crown lifeless and heaving in the air falls down upon tin-clad temples to foregone deities barren hope enlightens none, roads to nowhere only end behind me stoods the gleaming walls and earth unfurls before a veil drawn in faded wings of ochre, bathed in light before me lay a pleading land of fields in slow decay a slow tide, a storm without rain, a ship that heaves with every wave let sun bellow down, let fires fall and rise again let birds on their mills rust and then pour into the soil let it be drowned, let there be flames or years of rain let man tell the tale of a forgotten and hollow land
4.
stand, stand, stars glimmer brighter here stare, stare, fraught current take me home the touch upon me shows that these are the winds that sing a swan-song calling 'these are the wounds' a serenade for cloudless skies, far from the waves that lift their bodies from their ties to take me on stand, stand, stand, crushing tables, monoliths free, free, free, earthly tethers from these wounds amongst the maelstrom, the hollow sea they lost the firmament to memory the winds which once blew their promise to me have fallen silent, have fallen silent the barren lands behind show no hope the icy serenade forgotten i stare into the sea embracing the tempest is my path to take me home dive deep, black sea! drown me, currents take me under
5.
frail song, faded road failed air, take me home ashes, dust and soil, scattered a mantle over all sunrise in painted payne thrown down across the hills visions of rust, shearing in gales visions of birds, leaving their mills
6.
an aureate ray of light will shine a guide towards our failure frail leaves are pale and wilted, born of quiescence beneath the radiance a bare, fallow expanse beyond the field shell of a land laid to rest by failure a void, pierced by the veins of summer sky gilding the rust-blown epitaph beneath carried on the dust tide, the wheel and vane turn by the hands of a god long forgotten weathered faces become the birds who rust upon their lonely mills and fade beyond the divide, gold are the walls of turning season and in the earth, devour all that we have known beyond the divide, old is the air that hangs in silence and in a shroud of emerald, a sea of gold cyan tides overhead carry the land and sculptures of old hands sworn to raise the sky
