Protect the falling embers in this harsh and hostile storm I treasure every glimmer, I am desperate to keep warm Protect this broken vessel that is keeping me afloat I count out every measure ‘till I reach the final note The waters show the harvester the nature of his crimes A hunter on the run, my terrain has called my time Final tears come pouring, there’s no way I’ll win the fight This poor old whaler’s lantern truly is the final light Protect the final embers, it’s the only warmth that’s left The time has come to pay up for a lifetime full of theft Protect this broken vessel ‘till the waters take it whole I count out every fading spark until I pay the toll My dying lantern, my final scream My finale flares remain unseen

See them move Sparks in a have See them dance Like stars in a daze Left right and center the light joins the spirit Left, right, your center aligns with the flames Left right and center, follow the path of the flame It’s the path of the flame that we follow It’s the dance of the starts that we trace It’s the path of the flame that we follow It’s the dance of the stars Follow the path of the flame

Peace Bells 03:40
Come my child, we’ve walked through the day Your feet are blistered and sore Hear my child, the road is still long We’ll have to walk just a bit more Summer calls, save your breath The trees will rise, forever Save your breath Come now child, we’ll walk through the night The land will turn to life Hear, my child, the peace bells may chime The world will turn to life

Leave Me 05:03
Dying moon and black clouds Have nothing more to give I’ve worn the darkness long enough To know my strength to live You have given me shadows It’s all I’ve ever known Now I light my torch and guide myself To a place that I call home Leave me, Oh won’t you let me take another road

about

Pyrolysis Zaltbommel, Netherlands

Barefooted and using purely acoustic instruments, Pyrolysis breathes the raw, natural chaos of life into
music. With a leading role for nostalgic melodies, they play stormingly fast-paced and energetic songs
perfect for any tavern brawl, but also some darker ballads that reek of rainy days.
