At Dusk: an invocation
06:02
|

At dusk, we gather round the stones...
I tell a tale of Shadow
The Anima within
One Persona, one with Self
Let the liturgy commence
I am a veil of Shadow
The Animus alive
Persona and the Self, I am
The Mystic saturnine

I Know Moonrise

She sings
She is silent
Waiting for the fools
Her words drip like honey
And draw them to their doom
I know moonrise
I know starlight
Lay your body down
I know moonrise
I walk in starlight
Lay your body down
The glamour
The cruelty of a dream
A thousand wayward souls
And he, swift and steady,
Goes rushing into the gloom

The Spectral Hound
10:53

In the town where she lived
Wrapped in forest, dressed in white
Tomorrow looms and open lies a grave
They want to burn her body
For the crime of making no mistakes
And answer to the devil on the way
But lo! She knows
The will to run or just get even
It takes a hold and demands she go
"Get out while you can!"
Search and find the spectral hound
Blood runs cold at the sight
It was nearly morning when she found him
Eyes of silver, black as night
And reckoning was written on his face
He had a hunger that she needed
And she approached him unafraid
When evening falls, they'll make them all pay
And so, she goes
To rend their flesh and break their bodies
A woman scorned and infernal woe
They're one in the same
They're one in the same

Who's that writing?
Wrote the book of the seven seals

Strega

It's time to come into mine
A nascent life
Plucked from the main vine
The sacred vein
Dim eyes don't open dull minds
To ancient light
I resurrect I
Ecstatic strain
Tonight
Prepare the black knife
The cryptic rite
I fill my mouth with lies
In hallowed pain
One wish, one desire
Adapt and convolute
Context, the frame of life,
I distort the absolute
No thought to wilting power
Maintain the cracked façade
Constructing veils and armor
To bind the words to truth
Regress, progress
Sucking marrow from old bones
Repress grievance
Hollow shells make easy homes
With feigning fragility I wear my wounds
Comply
Confirm the mirage
The cup of life
Is made to confine and fill with want
I worship the new might
The old religions died
Obscure to define the denouement
It's time to come into mine
A nascent life
Plucked from the main vine
The sacred vein

Dear Woodland Creatures Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Woodland Creatures is the brainchild of Atlanta-based multi instrumentalist and composer Joshua Washburn. Combining heavy, atmospheric doom metal with elements of American folk traditions and a host of global influences, it is a psychedelic exercise in the evocative, meditative, and cathartic power of music. ... more
