My penance is each stone I lay

00:00 To Dream ------ In the spring rain the loam gives up the dead. And burnt marrow and old blood remind of war. But the boys - Libra, eyes lit with the fever of plans unspooled; Reev, the muscle and ever true - do dream tonight with stars in eyes. Libra points to horizon’s jagged teeth. A castle not of wood, but stone. A fortress to outlast this rot. Reev laughs because boys cannot build a castle. But then he laughs because they will. 02:28 Stone and Wood ----- The earth will have it's blood. The hand it's blister. The Hammer the stone. Reev watched vacant still. Silence to japes to shouts. But the pounding of iron and stone entranced him yet. And he worked alongside his friend. His lines crooked, but his jokes true. 05:04 Worship ------ In the spring rain the loam gives up the dead. And their satchels were full. Treatises on arches, buttresses; the language of mortar. Stone by stone, by will walls grew. Libra didst teach and Reev didst entertain. Then he didst worship. An altar of stone and wood and dreams in stars. If there is a god, this is it. I build him and he stares in grey disdain. 06:08 Natures Wrath ------ And the rain could not quench the flame. Greenwood should not burn, but god should not be scorned! When Reev didst drag Libra from ash and fate he begged to be done. Nature doth wage war with itself! And the rain could not quench the flame. 11:04 To Fail ------ In the spring rain the loam gives up the dead. Am I not amongst them? Libra empty, body warm amongst the dead. Reev's jokes on gallows hung, not heeded. And he knew he must 13:59 I will Learn, My Friend ------ His friend didst shamble, and daily eat. But his hammer lay dormant The journey was hard. But Reev would learn. The hammer would revive him. His friend would live. But stone must be first. So Reev didst sojourn, a worked to make 17:11 Ancient Stone ------ Through forests where the masons communed. To learn of quarries and timber. But also of steel. The hungry on the road care not the trade you learn. And the bread looks fresh The blade cares not the flesh it bites And the boy a knight becomes for flesh to save 20:07 Elegy Castum ------ Ancient cathedral, rhapsody in stone. Give up your secrets! Walls true. And Reev doth see his god. And the sky doth weep 22:26 The Fire (To Sin) ------ A wasteland greets the prodigal mason. Libra is there and has ever been. A specter in rags, eyes coals in a skull. You burned it! You burned it! You burned it! Jealous of what you could not shape. Reev’s denial curdled. Schola’s hammer, rusted now. Reev’s blade, steel of a knight. The blade cares not the flesh it bites 24:24 Goodbye ------ In the spring rain the loam gives up the dead. Reev placed his friend in stones embrace to fend against natures cruel intent. And wept as accusation burrowed deep 28:55 Castle Libratus ------ Do you see it now! Libratrus rises! Walls hewn by hands that once knew only ruin. Its halls sing silent with chisels and shape. And the rock face of god does not judge. Though Reev knows it should. 31:00 To Forgive ------ Stone wall true and high. A cathedral to all! Come and learn at Castle Libratus. Oh, Libra, yours is the final blow! Your forgiveness I crave. My penance is each stone I lay. My jokes on gallows hang. But shouldst it not be me? In the spring rain the loam gives up the dead. But Castle Libratus is stone ever true. In the crypt, two graves lie close. One bears a chisel, the other a sword. And travelers say the stones here weep in rain. 35:41 Repeat --------------------------------------------------------------------- Find contained herein peace in the form of piano, dark ambient music, relaxing ambient music, meditative ambient music, retro anime music, fantasy ambient music, ethereal ambient music, sci-fi ambient music, futuristic ambient music.
