Of Breath And Bone

I was about to name this post or at least a part of it as "for tonight". After a second thought I said to myself, "Oh, no, not just for tonight, yet for any powerful night!" Since I've heard the first sounds of Be'lakor's songs, I simply can not skip it when I see its name on YouTube's Recommended list...

Now it is up to you to listen to their songs and albums, and to listen to them again; again and again...

Here are some of the lyrics picked up from the album Of Breath And Bone (2012).

Her finger to my lips,
I am stilled in an instant —
I sip, and am numbed
From here the path winds backwards

I swallow forgotten words
To gain what was lost
And lost what was gained
Until neither is real
Behind my head, her hands hold no weight

Abeyance

Ills that never truly mend

Breath which seldom draws in ease

Pulses often miss their step

Somatic ever in disease

Remnants

Of sprawl and flame
From nothing it came
Seemingly
The gap between us tears apart
Impel our end
Layers surge and strip away
Cast into nought

Fraught

Distance loses meaning

As the breath becomes the fire

Gone are fibres; gone are thoughts

...But vapours in the pyre

Absit Omen

Yet as the sun began to sink
He seemed to sense, he seemed to think
That soon his brother might appear
From somewhere close, from somewhere near
Convinced this was his brother's fate,
Above his corpse, he sat... to wait

In Parting

The dream and the waking

Ending together

Understanding then

It had not mattered, ever

The Dream And The Waking

Fifteen times the leaves had shorn,
Trod by boy and beast
Kith and kin to fare him well
The youngling parted east

The sixteenth leaves began to fall
Indifferent, they withstood
Now, a man with nothing left
He turned back for the woods

Love Song, AC - DC

Love Song, is some sort of a lost gem of the ones from AC-DC.
It starts with a fast paced rhythm, sending your mind to the AC-DC that you already know. Then the pace is dropping down to an actual love song. And the lyrics are perfect!
Enjoy!

I can tell by the look in your eye
I can tell by the way you sigh
That you know I've been thinking of you
And you know what I want to do

Oh, Jean!

When you smile I see stars in the sky
When you smile I see sunrise
And I know you've been thinking of me
And I know how you want it to be

Oh, Jean!

I can tell by the things you say
I can tell that you know the way
And I know what you want me to do
Oh, I've got hearts and flowers for you

If you leave me you'll make me cry
When I think of you saying good bye
Oh the sky turns to a deeper blue
That's - that's how I'd feel if I lost you

Oh, Jean!
