Sacrifice

Poison, and consumption
Feeling warmth within the veins
Which needs persuasion to stay
Devastated by my presumption
Fingers trace the lines within
Conjuring the seraphim
Singing with an open throat
I recite the sacred lines
“Please accept this gift of blood
Blood accepted by the one
Willfully given by the son
Blood accepted by the sun”
And my tears mean nothing here
Nothing pure comes from my fear
Nothing is all I’ll be
Because nothing is all I’ve seen
Fingers trace the lines within
Conjuring the seraphim
Lying with an open throat
I recited sacred lines
“Accept this gift, this sacrifice
And acknowledge the holy price
As I say my holy rites
I have chosen paradise”
And nothing lies within
Nothing is all I’ll be
Nothing is foreseen
I’m left with all my sins

Descend

Descend
Rescind
I mourn
Again
Cast away this light
Candles cease to breathe
All that I have left
Is borne of blood and grief
Descend
Rescind
No life
To give
Choke upon the ash
Of those who’ve come to pass
For nothing in this life
Is ever meant to last
And all that’s come to pass
Tears borne of the past
Tears that flow like water
And blood upon the glass
I mourn at Last
Descend
Dismissed
Descent
Persists

Silence surrounds us
As the scent
of rotting leaves
And spent incense
is removed
Feed the flame
Feed the flame
Exhumed
; Preserve us as
We step
off this plane
And crippled forms
are removed
Feed the flame
Weeping echoes on
O’er these hills
And finds its rest
On the graves
we inhabit
White flowers turn to grey
As they grow
on our graves
Decomposed, doomed to stay

Cold

Burning
Put this flame to rest
Silence in the words
Bitter on the breath
Yearning
For unending rest
Absence of the breath
Winter in the chest
Night
Cloaks for us to wear
Cloaks we’re doomed to bear
Burn the hallowed flesh
Light
Left within, within your stare
And life, no longer there
Left in your last breath
And light within the air
Fed by flame and prayer
Illuminated us
Who only know despair
Light
Left within, within your stare
And life, no longer there
Left in your last breath
You’ll return to me in Hell

Fade

Standing at the gates
Holding all you gave
Recall our last embrace
I held your broken frame
The last time I approached
This house built for the dead
Hear the precious song
Left inside my head
And when I found your name
I touched your porcelain grave
Three years to the day
I wish I could stay
But closure never comes
And time has all but numbed
I still wake in the dark
And hear that precious song
Broken, bleeding
I feel nothing
Like your visage
Broken, bleeding
I feel nothing
Like your visage
I am fading
Fading

Temple Auburn, Washington
Formed in late 2017 by primary songwriter Brett Sheldon and lyricist Kyle Noyer, Temple is a fulfillment of a desire to write dark, crushing doom metal, borne of a need to be both thematic and melodic in its approach. Drawing influences from acts like Doom:VS, Swallow The Sun, and Daylight Dies, both members crafted a poignant debut full of anguish, mourning, and dread. ... more
