I-I-I floated in the diamond night
And I could tell you 'bout the things that you'll find
Out there someday
And I-I-I painted the moonlit skies
And the paths you could never find
I'll light the way
For an eternity
A thousand and one small communities put their trust in me
They say "have you ever seen a sight so beautiful?"
Many more centuries
A thousand and one small communities put their faith in me
But I can only pray the crop will be bountiful
Though I'm not your God
You still worship me as one
I will only guide you through the night
I could bring you luck
But only for the month
To bring success for harvest time
I-I-I floated in the diamond night
And I could tell you 'bout the things that you'll find
Out there someday
And I-I-I painted the moonlit skies
And the paths you could never find
I'll light the way
(What you seek, I will show
All is not lost, but not all is known
Where you walk may not be where you go
All I can truly bring is hope.)
For an eternity
It seems to be just them and me
Searching to find something before the night falls
Over the centuries
It becomes more than just them and me
But I can only pray you'll find what you're looking for
And though I'm not your God
You will worship me as one
But I can only guide you through the night
I could give you hope
Uncover what is known
To be the thing that brings you life
I-I-I floated in the diamond night
And I could tell you 'bout the things that you'll find
Out there someday
And I-I-I painted the moonlit skies
And the paths you could never find
I'll light the way
(What you seek, I will show
All is not lost, but not all is known
Where you walk may not be where you go
All I can truly bring is hope.)
I am not your God
But yet you still follow me as one
What you are looking for
Is all that you will ever truly, really know
I-I-I floated in the diamond night
And I could tell you 'bout the things that you'll find
Out there someday
And I-I-I painted the moonlit skies
And the paths you could never find
I'll light the way

On this day I awake to the sounds
Of my followers working the land;
The seeds of life inhabit the green grounds;
They received my gift with their left hand.
"I will make sure none of you will feel
Hunger, sickness
As long as you respect one another".
But the men frowned and they turned their backs
On the people
They declared to love and protect from harm.
Terrified by the giants of gold and red
Sent by the monsters in white and laurel.
My lovers whose faith remains,
With all your prayers, I will do my best
To rescue them.
On this day I awake to the sounds
Of the traitors destroying my lands;
The men I've helped, they stepped far out of bounds;
The ones I love, I won't let go of their hands.
"I will make sure to protect you all
From the evil
That corrupted the ones I swore to help".
Terrified by the giants of gold and red
Sent by the monsters in white and laurel.
My lovers destroyed by pain,
With all your prayers, I will do my best
To avenge you.
"I gave you all the wheat one would want
But you only cared
About the things you could steal from us".
Goddess of crops might be my title
But I can swear
I know far enough to avenge their names.
I will bring you the pest and I will bring you death
'Cus the people you've hurt I will answer their prayers.
All the hurt they went through I swear you'll feel it too
'Cus I, the Goddess of soil, won't tolerate such turmoil.
I will send all the rats, the crickets, the spiders
And I swear to make falter the souls of the culprits.
All the hurt we went through only because of you
I swear to return it to you, thousand times stronger too.
Terrified by the goddess in white gold
Sent by the prayers of those she loved.
Terrified by the goddess they once betrayed
They won't run away before they pay.
Oh, my lovers, you should have been spared
But no, the demons chose a different path for you;
My lovers destroyed by pain,
You'll live in the sky by my side,
You will become stars in my nightsky.

Hollow Moon

In the depths of the night
Only my footsteps echo
Guided by the starlight
Followed by my shadow
When will I see the sun?
Only the gods might know
Without any answers,
I keep on singing my vow
Lost in my despair
I've let everything go,
When was the last time I saw you
Was it centuries ago?
Why did I even leave,
Try to forget it all
Was it all just a dream?
Now everything's hollow.
(DEX)
I promised you so much
But there's nothing left now
Could you ever forgive?
Could you ever forget
What we could have had...
If I hadn't left
The wind softly whispers
All your sweet melodies
Can you let me pretend
They're not faded memories
Yet my heart (yet our heart)
Still carries the pain

A Brass Leaf - Yearn

You should learn
to take your turn.
You should learn, oh you should learn!
Before they come and tear. your. heart. out.
And cauterize the wounds to leave you bloodless
You should yearn
To watch it burn.
You should yearn, ya, you should yearn!
you should yearn!
you should yearn!
But you're paralyzed with fear every new year,
You can't keep your promise.
This effigy you see will only bring. you. ruin
This falsehood's no good, you. can't. feel. it.
Set it up in flames, watch through the window panes.
Where it can't hurt you.
*Eleanor whispers "before they come and tear your heart out"*
You should watch it burn
you should yearn!
To recreate it all without a reference.
It deserved to fall and needs no reverence.

I've been searching for ghosts at night
The type that decay
'Cause I've noticed they're all in disarray
All these visions enchant my mind
Inside night and day
I made a promise to seal it all away
The sirens sing their melody
Drifting underneath
All the futures we can't keep
Time's running out
And the hourglass is giving out its vows
Then the sky trips grey
Clouds are running away
There's just no escape
Mission failed, evacuate
Tear down all their curtains
"What's your name?"
"What's going on in there?"
Do you see me now?
Do you see me now?
Does this castle make you oh so proud?
Are you giving up?
Is this just my luck?
Tell me everything you're knowing now
I've been this way for centuries
'Cause I've been fixing up these memories
Going higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher
(Higher, higher, higher)
(Higher, higher, higher)
When the tide crashes into shore
You can't ask for more
Don't you know that the waves have inner peace?
And no matter the will or might
The hope that you like
Nothing will make the sea decease
The sirens sing a melody
Drifting underneath
Every future we can't keep
Your time's up now
'Cause the hourglass is giving out its vows
Then the sky trips grey
Clouds are running away
There's just no escape
Mission failed, evacuate
Tear down all their curtains
"What's your name?"
"What's going on in there?"
Do you see me now?
Do you see me now?
Does this castle make you oh so proud?
Are you giving up?
Is this just my luck?
Tell me everything you're knowing now
I've been this way for centuries
'Cause I've been fixing up these memories
Going higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher, higher
Higher
(Higher, higher, higher)
(Higher, higher, higher)
Was it all a lie?
Thinking, "are you satisfied?"
Don't turn off the lights
All these words spew from the mind of a phantom
But, anyway
(Was it all a lie?)
(Huh, I guess so...)
(Well, does that matter?)
What I'm trying to say is...
Thank you, but
Do you see me now?
Do you see me now?
Does this castle make you oh so proud?
Are you giving up?
Is this just my luck?
Tell me everything you're knowing now
I've been this way for centuries
You should have known
You should have known
See me now, do you see me now?
Does this castle make you oh, so proud?

Staying up way too late
I'm practically an owl
Hands are glued to the wheel
I'm drifting in and out
Stereo's playing out memories
When I was but a fool
As I'm going nowhere
With road to stare
In my peripheral view
I pushed through the fog and the rain
It poured down on the screen again
The other cars are stopping in
A resting place
But not me
With pure honesty
It's hard to say,
It felt the same to me
And even if they're here no more
It's a miracle
I see relatively clear
But I still believe
In the memory
And all that's left for me
'Cause even if they're here no more
I'll treasure them
'Cause it's worth driving for
All my dreams
Shoved into
The back pocket
Of my seat
The folks I drove with
Took their exit
And went off
On their own
Separate ways
I would feel sad
But some days
Are
More difficult
Than that and
What could I gain
other than sobbing tears
about parting our way
In reality
They come and live
And got somewhere to be
And even if they're here no more
I took it to heart
To have met them from the start
But I still believe
In the memory
And all that's left for me
'Cause even if they're here no more
I'll treasure them
'Cause it's worth driving for

Chaos embrace me
Like I once did for you
I've let my hair down
Tangles swirl in my room
Dust bunny angels
Dance on my covers too
If I can stay here
I might let you come through
Entropy tells me "just sit tight"
Astrally speaking, I'm alright
If it gets messy, that's just fine
I can just wait here one more night
As the hours tick by, tick by
Nature reclaims everything, everything
Swept in the sands of time, of time
It's called perfect, perfect disorder
As my body rides dust, rides dust
The blue cyclone carries me, carries me
I've just been too uptight, uptight
It's my perfect, perfect disorder
As I inhale silk threads, silk threads
I feel myself sink again, sink again
I might be here awhile, awhile
This is perfect, perfect disorder

I can’t stop getting up at five
Hence why I’m so tired
Of this mess
Tipsy and subject to
Dissociative tendencies
Gold kisses trace my whispers
And the audience watches intently
As I wake up numb
They’re all voluntarily modified
Deified
And tossed aside
By their own idea of sentiments
But they’ll never let you know that
Stinging dust from floorboards
Is welcomed into my respiration
As my blistered fingers yearn for more noise
Callous and distant
While playing the tune
The trepidation rising
I find it all so surprising
And gold laces my cheeks
Pouring out of my sockets this time
Melting in
My hands it’s
No longer
Edible
Sinking floor and shallow breaths
Clenching teeth and cold sweats
Finally making sense
Here we are, straying too far
I’m worried this time
And maybe I’m okay with that
It beats the monotony i’ve faced for
A decade now
Empty words mean nothing when you’re at my window
Even if you’re in my doorway
And all these years seem to have gone right down the drain
Stinging dust from floorboards
Is welcomed into my respiration
As my blistered fingers yearn for more noise
Callous and distant
While playing the tune
The trepidation rising
I find myself feeling at ease
And gold laces my cheeks
Pouring out of my sockets this time
I’ve been sick
And tired of
Becoming
Just like you
Your worm-eaten and verminous letters and journals are strung across the room today
Branded as a threat to any library
But they don’t taste nice to me
I’d rather consume your words directly as you hand them to me from your tongue
But I don’t have the heart or the guts to say that
And I hate it
Every noise I hear and sound you make
Anything that you do repeats on loop for me
Keep your eyes on me
The lights switch back on and
So do I
Stinging dust from floorboards
Is welcomed into my respiration
As my blistered fingers yearn for more noise
Callous and distant while playing the tune
The trepidation rising
I find myself feeling at ease
And gold laces my cheeks
Pouring out of my sockets this time

While stargazing late at night
The moon was finally in sight
It stood out amongst the stars shining bright
It's a full moon tonight
I treasure it cause it's almost sunrise
The moon shines a yellow glare in the sky
As the sun goes down it gets darker and darker
Nocturnal animals start to wake
So no one's in their way
Somewhere in the stars a vibrant light shines
Brighter than the rest in sight
It looks beautiful tonight
So I enjoy it
Spend my time watching
All the stars begin to sing a melody
So I just- I decide to start humming it too
It sounds lovely
I take my time
And go outside
I should probably be productive but
I'm having an amazing time just relaxing
I don't wanna sleep yet!
When the clock strikes midnight
I saw a strange, sparkling light
It looks super beautiful, doesn't it?
I wanna show someone
But it’s already daytime
I guess I’ll have to try again tomorrow night
As the sun rises it gets brighter and brighter
Diurnal animals start to wake
It’s the start of another day
Somewhere in the sky the sun starts to shine
It lights up the entire sky
And today it’s really bright
It makes me energized
All of this sunlight
Really changed my mood, and I think I can get something done
A wave of serotonin flows through my body
I feel amazing
I surprisingly finished something in time
I feel ecstatic and proud of myself
I can finally take a break and truly relax
I feel really happy!
*humming*
So I enjoy it
Spend my time watching
All the stars begin to sing a melody
So I just- I decide to start humming it too
It sounds lovely
I take my time
And go outside
I should probably be productive but
I'm having an amazing time just relaxing
I don't wanna sleep-
It makes me energized
All of this sunlight
Really changed my mood, and I think I can get something done
A wave of serotonin flows through my body
I feel amazing
I surprisingly finished something in time
I feel ecstatic and proud of myself
I can finally take a break and truly relax
I feel really happy!

Harvest my love (x?)
Dance around me
Kill my anchor
That's just mad love
Harvest My love
Mad Love Mad love
Harvest my love
(x4)
My love has come to an end.
There is not that much to regret.
My heart cant heal without tension.
But love can deal with depression.
Better don't touch my -
Wanna be next to you.
I cannot take care good.
Wanna be loved not sex from you.
Caught up in endless love
With such beautiful eyes, boy
No one will touch like you
No one will dress alike
(x2)
Mad Love Mad love
Harvest my love
Love me hate me cry
Once again
Never betrayed me right?
Once again
La la la la
Now take the beat

Under moonlight casquets
Now end the beast
You will see how the heart skyrock
Boy, rhythm beat
we´ll get sick
Under moonlight casquets
Boy, rhythm beat
we´ll get sick
Under moonlight cascades

Lo is the reaping of Harvest Moon
The Gods have answered our prayers
For extra grain and the lack of rain
She has come to bless us this year
Pour out the beer, bring out all the food
The bards are singing their tunes
The merry air, oh the festive cheer
Give thanks for all that is due
As leaves turn golden, days do shorten
Life returns to you
Let death temporal, life eternal
Lead us to the truth
We who have captured The Mother's gaze
And we who tasted Her ire
Let's not hold hatred nor bar our praises
Please forgive us our ungratefulness
God of the Seasons who counts the days
We welcome this precious change
(The ebbs and the peaks of life's)
(waves that flow through the earth)
(reminds us of your true beauty)
So through the next season,
we'll sleep in Her bosom
To wait for the light of day
(Forge on pilgrim; look ahead,)
(there is the light!)
(Glory to the Gods who oversee all life)
Covering them, all the Gods of Light extend their blessings
(Gods of Darkness do the same)
Born from the offerings the mortals bestowed to them
(Hand in hand, we thank you all)
Go forth, Children of the Night
(This is the day when the veil is thin)
(So let us enjoy it and have our fill)
Accept their offerings of love
(May the cycle be never stopped)
(Lest we fade)
As this year's harvest approach its end,
Let's give a proper farewell
The moon has set, the owls at rest
So let's go usher in the new dawn
[As the Gods bless the land]
Share with our neighbours who have not all,
And bless our families so long
(Gods of Death, Gods of Life)
(Vanquish all hopes that lie)
(In the hearts of the evil ones)
[Go to sleep and rest]
[Till the melt of the frost]
Watch over us your children,
So that we will make the next one
(With your guidance,)
(We will make the next one)
