Shield Of Wings - Unfinished [Full Album 2022]

Lyrics to Unfinished [Full Album 2022] by Shield Of Wings

Tracklist: 01. Crushing Hail In sterquiliniis invenitur Cutting through the stale fog The tempest comes as I walk From a great wind, the mute's curtain falls Suddenly the voice of an avalanche calls From the shade A forming face roars Pulling back four horses whipped to quarter Channeling heart from a time before Tyrant forced beyond their border Beyond the walls built by bricks of order Heeding not the wind nor hail I cannot stay, I must go forward! Humbled by primordial madness Freed from a crushing stasis, the soul is now braver! 02. Native Colossus Rise! Stand! Up from black morass! In waves of wind, with hex of stone My rival comes to hinder the creation To freeze the sun Deep, deep within Chaining the hellion Focus sharp, hand to guard The shadow grows, heel dug in Native colossus Timeless force pressing in Down, down a dark water path Icy stream pulling my step Into reflective black Down, down, another day sets Nighttime hydra smothers evening rest Crumbling a monolith Wrestling a goliath Deep, deep within Chaining the hellion Focus sharp, hand to guard The shadow grows, heel dug in Native colossus Timeless force pressing in As told by the seers The giant crashes into a mirror Native colossus Timeless force pressing in Feeble and wanting Ballast descending Native colossus Native colossus 03. Breathing Breathe - do not veer Bold one, hold firm your spear With honor, with spirit Face the fear Breathe! Steady your focus Take in the eons of your kin before Forthrightly exhale your father's soul Seize your brief existence With haste, fasten your load Greaten the glory, Greaten the goal Tread from the elder path Step boldly upon virgin soil Carry the wisdom Remember the scroll Harness your shadow Battle as beasts Unchain the aggression Til the end, we mustn't cease Harness your shadow Battle as beasts Unchain the aggression Til the end, we mustn't cease Discern the malady Embrace the full moon From the cradle to the fight Willed to stand upright And speak the truth The cadence of mortal hearts Brother and sister Together we breathe Harness your shadow Battle as beasts Unchain the aggression Til the end, we mustn't cease Harness your shadow Battle as beasts Unchain the aggression Til the end, we mustn't cease 04. Frozen Harbor Forgive me, dead love - mortal, unfinished Scorn, bloodlust, selfish, misled odium Now cursed, dead love, I knew not the wounds I'd cut Naked mast bearing no sails Rudder's bound in icy slumber A ship, drunken with coldness Numb to the grey season, resting in soulessness Roll of the gambler's dice Hiding from the world in dim tavern light, tavern light Nothing but stillness to be seen Nothing has come of me and none of me leaves A common death in relative peace Merchants afar, long-forgotten scent of spice Fishermen longing, their nets of solid ice Love over the horizon, your sweet face forgotten Celestial lights, the stars sleeping Hidden from sight, no one to lead Distant waves roam with no bow to break them The idle rot, no adventure to seize Dead love, missing your kindness, never forgotten Longing for your gift of fire Dead love, missing your kindness, never forgotten Longing for your gift of fire Dead love, missing your kindness, never forgotten Longing for the spark that once inspired my soul With precious time we pay the price Too old to write of innocence, Too young to write of wisdom Shame to the one who has forgotten his soul upon the sea Dead love, missing your kindness Once had, never forgotten Longing for the fire that once inspired my soul Dead love, missing your kindness Once had, never forgotten Longing for the fire that once inspired my soul Dead love, missing your kindness Once had, never forgotten Longing for the fire that once inspired my soul Ghost, forgive me, forgive me... 05. Cedar Flames from the heart the glow of a night's fire The touch under my ribs of fluttering wings Hope like lights in the night sky A vision to smile by In darkness the fight is to be won Now the sun is soon to rise A new day comes, may it shine Listen, my friends - it talks, listen The dead cedar's voice unleashed Patience is not a waste of life Endurance may bring sight A vision of a time once dreamed If you search that which speaks And prepare your hands to climb Follow the black bear, feel the ride Climb the cedar, above each branch rise Reaching the thunderbird A soul on its back Desire's aim to fly away It's time to soar Reach for the stars, reach for the high But higher the climb, farther the fall So grip tightly Black bear leads, all aboard The thunderbird calls The thunderbird calls No more hopes of mere dreams Nor painted wings, or eyes that never sleep Follow the black bear, feel the ride Climb the cedar, above each branch rise Reaching the thunderbird A soul on its back Desire's aim to fly away It's time to soar Darkest ocean challenged Heart headed for the deepest dive Chase through endless plains Losing balance as the cedar shakes Below the wolves are drooling Careless fool's footing earns Your dream denied Beware, for some poets lie Behold your time to live, your time to die Perfect blossom Abundant harvest Birth of a new child and the start of new life Swim through the tall grass Surf through the sky Resting on the hope Of travels soon to come 06. Wetland One step into uncertainty Swampy deathbed welcoming Heartless, abstract art Defiant heart's dream, unknown calling Uncertain step taunting Losing sight of my feet Descent then hope hesitating A man slowly miring Behold, the cleansing of conceit The filth in which I sink Nameless hope In wetland's quicksand we meet Common branches With uncommon reach Longing for life Godlike hand grasping me Lost soul, alone, wandering Troubled mind slowly bearing Emergent life and new faces Holding strong under strained roots aching Green nature, face half in peat Now on my side lying Clouded sight, one eye gazing Sunlight beaming through the leaves blazing Behold, the cleansing of conceit The filth in which I sink Nameless hope In wetland's quicksand we meet Common branches With uncommon reach Longing for life Godlike hand grasping me Suffocating feat, eternal feeling The time between God's blink First time truly fighting The clash of armies meet Sinking, I pull up my knees Fighting to breathe underneath the heavens The beauty of grey clouds and skies that weep All the while, mortal man upon the ground sinks Slowly sinks The young cypress climbs, Its heart longs with reaching arms Soon to be humbled Slipping, I embrace its showing roots In wetland's quicksand Here lies Man 07. Mind Of Myth Veiled bride, I have wed with war And turned away from the shield of trees Alone into destiny's storm If I do not die, how can I be reborn? Mind of myth Holding our ancestors' gift From the woods aged old Fire dressed the tomb's knoll And in the ash, I must find the new path Unclothed into the cold Shade once hid my weathered chest Laced with bad blood and marked by scarred flesh Breaking the bone lock, scraping the patched rot Gone away from slow decay, leaving safety's comfort Tired wrath, weight so somber For the whip tastes bitter servant But hour's come to climb the spire Near to the peace of oneness Delved deep, youth's hold is no longer Old albatross asunder May the gall go free Parting with the frail other Oh, sour words, I loathe the cost Yet I take hold of my own faults Savored the lash, paid back the loss Now I only ask for forgiveness Wayfarer once trapped in stone A melody softens the vital blow Mind of myth Holding our ancestors' gift From the woods aged old Aimed towards the Meaningful And in the ash I must find a new path Unclothed into the cold Through the smoke of that distant tomb's knoll 08. Sunfire Shower Famine I have known Hunger, the salt we may need Cast from the cosmic sea Impact on an earthly being Forged a tool, healed a wound Born to bear my own cross Tough bark under the North moss In draught and plague A harvest to sustain A solar flow through my veins Welcoming the guide, past to present sight Honing its piercing light, conjuring balanced might Heavy breath, gift of life Girded with the old words, graced with their might In draught and plague A harvest to sustain A solar flow through my veins Sunfire shower Flooding down From the fire life is sprung Hoping hand stretched high A reach in wait, kneeling in gratefulness So it came to the one in need To strike a humbled creature Descending from a burning sky Touching the absence of light Still grateful in the pits where I have fallen Even in the shame where I have lain Crossing the suffering lands Blistered and worn hands Beholden to grip my will once again In draught and plague A harvest to sustain A solar flow through my veins 09. Come Home Come, lay your head upon my breast Come, imagine a world at rest Come home, my son, my love Bleeding in the shadow of the mountain Fighting to stand strong, yet weeping To a narrow path he is bound Alas, my son is lost, yet his soul is found Set out to seek wisdom and honor Off to find the wonder Though I see you in struggle Come, lay your head upon my breast Come, imagine a world at rest Come home, my son, my love Dust has claimed your chair Amongst us, your placemat sits bare Your step fades and voice escapes Alas, your touch was once so fair Set out to seek wisdom and honor Off to find the wonder Though I see you in struggle Come, lay your head upon my breast Come, imagine a world at rest Awake, I dream of your world at peace Drift into the calm Loosen your burden, my son Let it sink into the sea My son, my love Come back, back to us Come home, come home Once more, before you leave 10. The Scarred Clay Reshaping Time to free the old gods Learning to mend the deep wounds Old suffering and lost youth Shaking off the torn cloth Wandering the unknown As I have left my kin Shedding my tribal skin Spilling the blood of a pale fraud Painting the faint story once more Levelled foundation short-mourned Breaking from the tame flock Alone to find a new throne Color to the canvas given Era's end in a tired land Water to a war-torn face Exhausted from a lifelong chase Coarse stone to a callous heel New truth shaping the habit of an old fool Time to cherish true blood Downcast my humbled eyes With face to the blazing Sun Water to a war-torn face Exhausted from a lifelong chase Coarse stone to a callous heel New truth shaping the habit of an old fool Unfinished solarium One more cut of the seeker's tongue Ode to the scarred clay reshaping Ode to the ever flowing river! Blade to the the rogue branch Wet thumb to gashed clay Handstroke of magnificence Setting beauty upon this place Yet another death I face With peace fire's set to the old remains I must leave, to the wild I go Tears for where I once called home Now as the tide has finally come Test the grit or become undone Molding my face and the mask into one Through chaos, with light, balance is brought Baring teeth, piercing roar, bearing the sword Will to fight, to end life May those times scarcely come Though the back was once broken The eye is now open Now graced with able legs Striding towards that sacred place Dancing foot with prudence Devotion sculpting a heart of clay Unfinished solarium One more cut of the seeker's tongue Ode to the scarred clay reshaping Ode to the ever flowing river!
