Note: A comment on DeviantArt indicates there was an EP mastered in summer of 2009. Would that just be the songs that have already been released, or something else?

2) The Burden of Man
3:11, lyrics:
As we all climb into darkness and void
Reaching out for the volatile and cold
As we deny what we are made of, and deny our call
Hunting restless for gain we cannot hold
Do You forget us forever and ever
And forsake us so long in Your grief and despair?
Turn Thou us unto Thee, and we shall be turned
Renew our days as of old
As we open our hearts to the carnal world
Shedding blood of ourselves and our kin
As we follow the whore and give grace to her
Feeding blood of the martyrs and saints
"Surely He hath borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows
Yet we did esteem Him stricken
Smitten and afflicted"
You who carry all man's burden
You who are the Morning Star
Renew the spirit, renew the strength
Renew what ceased to gladden
The joy of our heart has ceased
Our dance has turned into mourning
For this, our heart is faint
For these things, our eyes are dim
"Surely He hath borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows
Yet we did esteem Him stricken
Smitten and afflicted"
You who carry all man's burden
You who are the Morning Star
Renew the spirit, renew the strength
Renew what ceased to gladden
Reaching out for the volatile and cold
As we deny what we are made of, and deny our call
Hunting restless for gain we cannot hold
Do You forget us forever and ever
And forsake us so long in Your grief and despair?
Turn Thou us unto Thee, and we shall be turned
Renew our days as of old
As we open our hearts to the carnal world
Shedding blood of ourselves and our kin
As we follow the whore and give grace to her
Feeding blood of the martyrs and saints
"Surely He hath borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows
Yet we did esteem Him stricken
Smitten and afflicted"
You who carry all man's burden
You who are the Morning Star
Renew the spirit, renew the strength
Renew what ceased to gladden
The joy of our heart has ceased
Our dance has turned into mourning
For this, our heart is faint
For these things, our eyes are dim
"Surely He hath borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows
Yet we did esteem Him stricken
Smitten and afflicted"
You who carry all man's burden
You who are the Morning Star
Renew the spirit, renew the strength
Renew what ceased to gladden

This is the album version of the song, that will eventually appear on "Into the Endless Night", not the demo version that was released in 2015. So rather than list it along with the previous single, I thought it made more sense to give the updated track its own space on this page.
