I am searching for my tribe. I have traveled among many, And though some have come close, None have fit exactly. So I wander and continue on In my own way. Yet I know that the others Are out there too.

Cold of the Sun 05:28
lyrics

Sunlight, cold and bitter So bright, it blinds the eye Shiver, ever wander Searching for my tribe Journey, long and weary Wandered, a thousand days Losing hope, in my voyage Somehow, lost my way Shelter, dark and lonely But here, it is warm Outside, cold and empty Frozen, from the storm Always cold and lonely A darkness to match my soul My tribe seems so distant But they will make me whole I know I cannot stay here This cannot be where I die Do I stay in this warm darkness Or face the ice blue sky And so I must leave this shelter And keep searching until I’m done And resume my endless wander Beneath the cold of the sun.

Eons Frolicked at the Gates of Oblivion 07:50
lyrics

The gods of steam and iron traded blows in ages yore Bequeathing unto us a world unlike that seen before Shouldering the burden of ten trillion tons of steel The shadows of delirium hammer at the keel No clairvoyant telemetry could have perceived this fate Nor forces of technology could seal away this gate Time is of the essence as it slips beyond our reach Time sublime quintessence we desperately seek We are the lost embers scattered in the sea Lanterns long devoid of flame drifting endlessly Into the deep... Detonate! A retrograde impactor. A trillion tons of iron, thrown at the floor. The crust buckles, as the shockwave blooms. The sky is red! The sky is red! The sea is dead! We all are dead! The sky grows dark. Out of the oven, and into the freeze. Where are they now? I wonder As I gaze upon the sky A world apart and cast away Scattered and left to die ...And yet I remain...

Coercing the Light from the Stars 15:25
lyrics

Beneath the light of a crescent moon Slowly ebbing out of phase As the pale throes of a dying sun Illuminate the grays The cold impassive architect Inflicts wounds that never heal Tantalized with retrospect The skin begins to peel With eyes as red as the dying sun We illuminate the grays Against the grass of the folklore Dream-singers caress the haze In realms forgotten through centuries Unspoiled by the touch of man Expeditions lost but for the bones Of the fools who came searching for gold We are but the memories Of a thousand long-lost tribes Shadows of the reveries Coercing the light from the stars

Dryas 04:40

Dryas, days of dreaming Dreaming of the dawn Starlight, sun so distant Distant like the dawn Shadows, dark and ancient Ancient like the spring Forest, once so mighty Mighty as a king Hunters, always walking Walking along the flow Gather, all the children Children of the snow Future, days of warming Warming of the land Someday, we will settle Settle and work the land

The jaded leaves of early April Tested by the morning frost Survived their nightly battle They fought or all was lost Emergence from their slumber Through the bitter snows of yore Freezing in the darkness Chilling to the core Seelie

about

A concept album that tells the story of a wanderer in an ice age wasteland searching for his tribe. Restless after settling in a cave, he sets out once more, discovers the cause of his world's destruction, and eventually finds his brethren.
