The Bastard Wind

Second waiting, the bastard wind
 Left you swaying but held again
 So allaying, you'll call to the veil
 Where bled you fail
 ♪
 Found you longing for steel and field and cave
 But still shackled by rows of endless waves
 Will an essence you drown now cast you away
 To sand and clay
 ♪
 So a shimmer of wave will strain to the sun
 While deceiving the eye that's lost and won
 Where a lesson to burn is fast to decay
 In swell and spray
 ♪
 So as endless a dream it seems is lost out of shade
 There in shoreless of hold you long to fade
 For the cleansing of waves are naught to avail
 Where bled you fail
 ♪
 Where bled you fail
 ♪
 Where bled you fail
 ♪
 The lie
 ♪
 Means nothing to the sky
 Or veil
 
 The way
 Will burn another day
 
 Or fail
 
 This time
 ♪
 In passage you divine
 
 This grail
 And climb
 ♪
 From the waves in endless line
 That pale
 The granite lay sunken
 As below
 The wind that brought the fire
 ♪
 So below
 Soaring ascent in flame
 Cinders of victims singed and maimed
 ♪
 Strip the wind to bleed again
 Fall below oceanic flame
 ♪
 Naught the strain
 That death has claimed
 You leave the kill to pain
 Deeds that bled away
 Where in fairness war's ascension is to stay
 ♪
 There in violence you're mastering decay
 ♪
 You'll feed the beast this way
 Where an effigy will climb towards the sun
 ♪
 There a peak on high will witness what is done
 ♪
 Air to thin and turn before the flames are gone
 ♪
 Carelessly you're burning all there is to one
 Share the burden left in cinders by the ton
 ♪
 If nothing's to be done
 If nothing's to be done
 If nothing's to be done
 If nothing's to be won
 Strain the shadow and steep in shade
 ♪
 Earth left fallow for steeper grade
 ♪
 Climb once narrow is now the blade
 ♪
 That severs the wind
 ♪
 Calm but quaking on the shroud of the sun
 As it's forsaken and below it's flung
 ♪
 The storm is raging for the past has won
 And led by the wings
 You're led by the wings
 Need led the lie
 To deny endless sky
 ♪
 Deeds led below
 As above
 For the foe
