Lyrics

A Shadow Memory

[Verse 1: Steve Von Till]

Rise over silence

Decry my own station

Seek refuge in forgotten songs

To carry me over

[Verse 2: Steve Von Till]

When life has exhausted

The casting of shadows

The coiled serpent, the eye in the circle

To a light that is clear

[Verse 3: Scott Kelly]

A distance fell

My head is full

The hole within me

Is my ever raging mind

[Verse 4: Steve Von Till]

To the madness and the fire

Of the salt made anew

Slit the throats of those who light the torches

Smother with their blood

[Verse 5: Scott Kelly]

My heart is warm

I searched in my soul

The sky revealed

A shadow memory

[Verse 5: Steve Von Till]

I will bury the secrets

In the waning of the moon

Break my mind of the straight lined roads

Walk in the serpent form

[Verse 6: Scott Kelly]

I'm still within this time

My eyes were frozen years ago

Our passing days become the tomb

The angels left me empty
