Fen - Half-Light Eternal lyrics

Illumination wavers in the strengthening
Grip of dusk
Darkness summoned something more than
Dreams and empty promises
Every blade and bole turns
Towards the fading light
And all freeze to capture this
Moment in eternal clarity

Around and around the centuries thunder
Revolutions of earth and stone
Oceans rise and fall
The waves of life flow high tide and beyond
This crystalline second still warm on
The retina of remembrance

Bruised and melancholy is the moment
That stains these skies
Ash will saturate the bones
Of our footsteps echo
Sandstorm future melts through
The half-light tangle
The end retreats ever onwards
Suspended in fire
Shadowed by ages, enthroned in forever
This hour, this minute, this second
This very second

Every memory furrows through the
Folds of time shadows aflame with resonance
Before your eyes
Now branded by the sharpened
Nature of his night
