Hypostatic Union Lyrics

 1. Memory Remains

the ache for ceaseless, peaceful days – still remains
the reminders of mistakes once made,
inhabits places and names
in a world of forgetting – what is yesterday?
memories are like grass cut down
and thrown into flame

who now can tell of what was done
on that warm summer night
when everyone got lost
and something inside me died

You took it away
My innocence lost
Now a darkness so great Is all that remains

I still remember that moment – you looked away
the words that were spoken,
would you say them again today?
when your voice began to rise – eyes ablaze
I knew that you had nothing to say

so I will tell of what was done
and I wonʼt forget the past
that it only took one night
for you to lose everything

You took it away
My innocence lost
Now a darkness so great
Is all that remains

 

2. Achromatize

it was all so long ago,
yet could be yesterday
displaced and left behind,
now a stranger to those I knew
how fragile this human frame,
time taunts me with memoryʼs remains

can I cast aside the past,
and be free from the stains
markers of regretful mistakes
I know everything was changed,
from the moment you walked away
your true self, now displayed

these weary eyes have seen too much
so many things not meant to be
these weary eyes have seen enough
just close your mind and sleep

go into the dream, imagine a world of peace

what brought me to this place,
exhaustion comes in waves
erodes the innocence that remains
as I climb this hill at night,
look down on Vancouverʼs lights
the shadows pull me back to another life

on a crowded street, I saw you look at me
then quickly turn away
and I knew nothing had changed,
the memories still remained
and cannot be undone, oh no
does nothing change? does nothing change?

these weary eyes have seen too much
so many things not meant to be
these weary eyes have seen enough
just close your mind and sleep

go into the dream, imagine a world of peace

Winter greets me with falling snow
I embrace the cold with failing hope
Life now seems so fleeting and strange
In time even memories will fade

 

3. Terminal

all that I trusted,
is hidden by shadows,
and kept beyond reach

trying to find meaning
in fragmented moments
do the pieces ever fit?

everything ends

days can break me down
when – everything Iʼve known is gone

i’ve seen corruption hide,
behind a beautiful smile
i’ve seen the darkness inside everyone of us

everything ends

and I remember, my frailness and mortality
each breath I am given,
brings hope that is beyond me
a still voice beckons,
come leave this world behind

i dream of moments,
when life would have meaning,
before the shadows fell

times seems to stand still,
as darkness draws closer
does absence feel like this?

everything ends

 

4. Pale Blue Dot

a pale blue dot is home
itʼs all Iʼve ever known
a drop of water in the endless seas
does this moment mean anything?

and still the dreamers dream
only illusions and vanity
when beauty brings so much pain
in sorrow I am found again

taken away
from empty ways

i feel so small
and trivial
as gravity pulls me down
and humbles

taken away
from empty ways

life has found me again
in the already, not yet

taken away
from empty ways

this means everything,
this means everything
one movement of friends,
with the guilty now innocent
this means everything,
this means everything

you draw your own through irresistible grace,
I come all those called will come,
and find their life in You

 

5. Already, Not Yet

Wait, and follow the signs,
Expectant eyes, watch in the dark
Speak, of a promise once made.
For the weak and the lame, awaiting the dawn

Time flows in the night,
Darkness divides
My days turn to years,
Return to dust

Daylight breaks into the mist,
Reminding that the night must end
Even in this hopeless hour,
shadows guide us, to the substance beyond

Now, the future breaks through.
In unexpected hues,
brighter like the sun
See, the first and the last,
the present and the past,
converge into flesh

Hope shatters the night,
darkness now hides the shadows grow dim,
as life comes to us

now we gather the sane,
in the wake of finite extremes
in a world, devoid of the brave,
all reason is empty and strange
my hope, hold on to me.
Your life brings comfort and peace
and though the grave threatens us all,
your arms will carry me home

and all remembrance of sorrow, will cease

 

6. Buried in Time

7. Hypostatic Union

where has he gone? – my beloved son

can I see you, before the end?
Before the end

truth pierced through this
world of doubt captured minds
the infinite humbled itself
and was fashioned so small

the spirit descended
as the many looked on
a voice spoke from the skies
behold my beloved Son

life, moments within time
the boundless was limited
you came to us, the eternal one

the light inside,
the darkest night pull me into this,
new life

can I see you, before the end?
before the end

From feeble to broken
You gathered the undone
To rest from endless labours
and enter into the dawn

life, moments within time
the boundless was limited
you came to us, the eternal one

rest, enter into rest
joy now has captured me
you gave yourself,
for your chosen ones

now we gather the sane,
in the wake of finite extremes
in a world, devoid of the brave,
all reason is empty and strange
my hope, hold on to me.
Your life brings comfort and peace
and though the grave threatens us all,
your arms will carry me home

and all remembrance of sorrow, will cease

 

8. Signals

ever seen a sunrise,
that swallowed the blackest night
and dwelt in that moment,
forgetting all thatʼs behind

all the years,
passed by my eyes
and the questions disappeared

and all this time,
You were waiting for me
this weary soul,
is given meaning today

come take your places
and follow with the weak
look through the shadows
and momentary days

all the years,
passed by my eyes
and the questions disappeared

and all this time,
You were waiting for me
this weary soul,
is given meaning today
