Through all these years
Fought with yourself
Outside, so calm
Inside, a fight
Torn back and forth
Pulled up and down
Like a boat that storms
Into the shore
You tried to escape
Your head, Normandy
Thoughts soldier on
But you will come out strong
Stronger than ever before
They’ll raid by sea
Use any means
You’ll take them down
You will survive
Dark for so long
At battles’ end
Like a blinding light
It will take time
The world seems new
When introduced
Through different eyes
But you will come out strong
Stronger than ever before
Adjust to the world that you now live in
Adjust to the world that you now live in
You’ve been through it all before
You know your time is worth more
You will end this war beach war
You will end this, you will end this
You’ve been through it all before
You know your time is worth more
You will end this war beach war
You will end this, you will end this

The video for "Theurgist," from True Widow's forthcoming "Avvolgere," is as prismatic & hypnotic as the song it accompanies. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 15, 2016
