{Aaron is not much for enunciating, nor does he use much structure in his vocals, so to aid you in determining where one word ends and another begins I've put an awful lot of commas in here. The words between commas are usually all one breath, and are often all one yell.}

IN THE ABSENCE OF TRUTH

Wrists of Kings - Not in Rivers, But in Drops - Dulcinea - Over Root and Thorn - 1,000 Shards - All Out of Time, All into Space - Holy Tears - Firdous E Bareen - Garden of Light


[Wrists of Kings]

Now your blood
Travels though the
veins of our
history

It burst, for them
Boiling black
clouds from, the wrists, of kings

Your shadow, lengthens as
time draws on, its tendrils
Creep into, mythic cracks
blending with, the light of
day

We see it
Now before us
But even, so we cannot

Read the lies be-tween the
Between, the lines


[Not in Rivers, but in Drops]

And still your voice is heard

Heard

And still we are
Shaken, shaken

Your voice

Still real

And so you say
Unto all

I am hope
We are one
They'll fall
Bring them down

World is waiting
There is {still hope?}

Not in rivers, but in drops

It is rain-ing
Is rain-ing
They came, as your, as our, {friends?}


[Dulcinea]

He, is not, mad
his, thought is, clear-er, than
the, sane-er, men.

For, in her, he, saw
beau-ty, over-flowing
through, the, tat-tered clo-(th)es.

She, was, his, queen
She, is, a queen

In, dreams he, wanders, the dark
In, search of, her. Her!


[Over Root and Thorn]

{4:44}
Your reign is, ever growing

Spreading like a moss

Across rock, under sky
O-ver, roots, and the thorns


[1,000 Shards]

If only I could clear my, eye
Then I might, breathe once more
Then I might, breathe again

Old sun, and stars
And oceans, below me
Gathered scribes, over
Jagged shards, under foot

Old sun, and stars,
And oceans, below me
Gathered scribes, over
jagged shards, under foot

To slash
To the sound

How many sit on, woe or peril?
How many walk, on their own?

It's of the truth
Let myself burn
Now it's written
One thousand shards

{whispering, perhaps including "classified" "peace" "history"}


[All out of Time, All into Space]

{whispering continues, then fades into instrumental}


[Holy Tears]

He was patient
Slow descent chills the bones
His wait, may be, long
Still he, carries, on

Always reaching for her
Always breathing for her
Lifting his hand to the sky
Slow change might bring
Holy tears
U-pon his batt-er-er-er-ered
Skull

{4:12}
Holy tears

Holy tears

{6:27}
He, won't, take, the
Priv-ilege
To, know the, crown


[Firdous E Bareen]

{instrumental}


[Garden of Light]

{1:35}
I fell asleep in
A world dressed in grey
Only to awake in
A garden divine

{3:04}
There, was, song and, dance and,
un-tarnished flesh

{4:22}
It, was you, who, brought me here
Yours, whose, face, greeted me
In, the, garden, of, light

You are the face of God
You are my breath
My life, my death
