Prevenient Songtext
von Føsphene

And woe kneeled, for his place among those sworn was cast
Sullen eyes told of an arrival, set forlorn in ash
For beneath tensile zeal, withered bronze-armor was sat
Corroded to cinders and decaying to matte
Longing to everlast, though coated in dust
The fabric of starlight′s vigor collapsed in upon us

How Coarse the beasts flesh
Reflecting the red tint sky
Expelled fumes flamed
The shadows unraveling, whose ashen cloud is praised


Empirical eyes
Pitched backwards
Without sight
To kneel beside
Resented forms
For harkened cry
For I despond
Hallowed soul
Blinking away
Eternal woe

Father should I
Grip shadow
And embrace night?
All that I find
Decaying vision
Blackened shrines
Nether upon
Shouldered cold
Stripped of all I've ever known

I stand below Ashlar bone
Shattered stone
Pallid betrothed
Towering downfall
In eternal glow
Sunken eyes
Trace the shape
Of the gallows throne
Insipid fate


Prosaic shrine
Shimmering idol
Shrouded reply
Whereunto thine?
Headless acts
Fortune surmise
Adrift once more
The swells breach
Tattered banners
Heir′s creed

Shattered Stupor
Befallen
Forsaken
Forms before me
Wander, and convene

Stilled to naught
Condensed to ice in frivolous thought
The fray is taut
Misshapen lines
Dismay and rot
For vision clouds
Terse reach
I've fallen prey
To what I seek

This dying light
Formless shadows
Impede my sight
For valorant fall
To brush away tear
Sorrow to be no more
And as this coil belies
Such Stolid cry
Death melds to life
On which brink
Will I collide?

Imago dei
Such instrument to justification
Enfleshed, this paralyzed agency
In feathered immanence to rise
Renewed in transgression
Cast wake, our arks's cerulean venture compels Ararat′s peak
Via salutis, mooring to shores of tranquil, alight in availed form
Sanctification through dusks awning
The prevenient; ushered without consequence
Now dictates eternal disposition
To realize streets gold, for souls partition mold
For glorification′s import I dawn wings
Erupt from whence my spine returns to dust!

Is one to know?
To unveil solemn shroud?
Is one to bow?
To inherent forgone vows?
Tablets erode under
Eternities grindstone
Limitless lament
In purposeless tragedy
Who are we but those
Whom Witness
The curtains
To fall?
