Where every debt is repaid

Nothing left to keep me out of paradise

As portraits of the past fade away"

his branches reached so far before

his leaves were bold extremities with great control

wasted along; he died alone.

The Dear Hunter - The March [Unfinished Animatic]

it’s been a couple of years, but I may still want to give this another pass. I’d change Hunter’s design, for one. But this is the basic blocking I imagined for the first part of the song. It’s one of their best, and I think it has to be sufficiently dramatic, or there’s little point.

Not a fan of The Dear Hunter? Why not, where have you been?

“The Hanged Man is the card of ultimate surrender, of being suspended in time and of martyrdom and sacrifice to the greater good.”

"The Most Cursed of Hands"

[theflameandthefire]

"And still he moves on

Arm and iron conquer heart and soul"

"The smell of smoke. The evening sky was bruised.

Belated conversation saturate anticipation

For the answers that simply won't come."
