Nightfall
07:24
|
|||
When twilight so soft will bloom
Cloakes the world in gloom
Where hopeless winds will blow
Dusk will fall below
When gaia dresses in night
And a million fires ignite
Where abyss and heaven are mating
The wanderers journey is awaiting
Where wolves are howling for the moon so bright
And leaves do shiver in the gloomy night
Whom spirits sing a song in the breeze
And howling winds entwine the trees
Where fox and wolf are hunting for prey
Spirits of night will joyful play
The stars are shining in the sky so bright
For him who wanders in this hopelessly falling night
The spell of night now falls on me
And day no longer it shall be

Along the olden streams
My spirit wanders all alone
The site of mountains rising high
Into the night of death - of funeral fires
Welcome to my realm, My heart of stone
My streams of yearn, My caves your home
My paths unpassed, My realm of flame
My deep forest, Your death I claim
And on I march through this dark night
As stars and moon are shining bright
My path so steep
Until my flesh is set and burns to ashes
Welcome to my site, My crest so tall
My unseen hight, My rocks that fall
My ridges steep, My towers high
My summit unseen, My realm of ice
And so they carried his corpse to shore
To descent his body forever more
And his soul into the depths then sailed
Far the north he was carried far away
So far away...

High a mountain standing tall, invites to holy halls
And figures in the night, o, so blurry yet so bright
The fire of the soul keeps burning as we crawl
Through deep woods in our sight we aim for unseen hights
The moon stood high and the fog arose
From the glades and hills so tall
Our torches led us through the night
And forgotten paths unfolded
Unfolded
From battles worn yet standing strong
Our aim so clear in sight
We were marching on the stony roads
Our forebears left behind
Behind
Through roots and woods
And the thick dark moors
And mountains steep and tall
Past the old wise stones
Through the heart of the forest
Where a tawny owl would call
We were fighting on
Until the day dawned bright
And the morning shun so light
Past the stars of old
Over hills untold
And through deep dark woods at night

Wandering the Swan Road
09:38
|
|||
As the waves of night approach
A whispering voice enchants the land
And the swan is flying again
In the dead of this dreary night
To cross the rivers of life and of death
To wander the road of the living dead
To pass the paths of light and of black
To follow the call, the call into the depths
The call of the damned...
At the gates of night I stand
And whisper the words to enchant the land
From where now I begin my flight
And ride with the swans in the dead of night
I ride with the swans
The gates of night now open for you
And now you die - death now awaits you

Lying here on the grass
Underneath a veil of stars
Glancing deep into the sky
Hopeless beauty fills my eyes
Freezing dark - the night so cold
Starring ancient eyes of old
Living my dreams of fate
Lifted is the burdens weight
By my side, watch the flame
Whispering my old grown name
Fading slowly into the deep
Freezing soul now fall asleep
Words are whispered - but noone hears
Unseen is the weight of tears
Tears of pain, tears of yearning
Now watch the burden brightly burning
In the fire of your last quest
In the pyre you shall now rest...

Midnight Transcendence
05:50
|
|||
As the fog atop the river is hunting for prey
Cause you in cold to shiver and pull you away
The journey deep into the matter seems with no end
Into darkness you shall wander for you must transcend
And in your mind a blazing spark from your soul
You sail on with your heart to northern northpole
Dark are the ways of night - but don't be afraid
For the stars are shining bright and lead you the way

Spiritual Pilgrimage
07:13
|
|||
There is a pathway hidden in the sky
Where spirits of fire dance softly in the night
The timeless watcher obscured by blazing sparks
Listens to the voices that whisper from the past
Gazing in the night from the forest amidst the trees
Endless skies filled with fire - the fire from beyond
Howling in the night - the wolf against the sky
Yearning for the spirits - the spirits now to come
The ceremony now has begun
The ode to dying spirits shall loudly be sung
The summit now is reached
The wisdom of life now shall be teached
The ceremony now has begun
The ode to dying spirits has been sung

Guardian of the Damned
04:43
|
|||
On the hill in a circle of old stones
Lie the bones of those who have dies
Those who fell every night roam down beneath
Watched by the guardian - the guardian of the damned
You must now follow his call
Into darkness you fall
The abyss opens for you
Kiss of death
Take now his hand
There is hope at the end
For winter is followed by a spring

Winter's Sleep
07:38
|

Two kings to share one throne
The white and the black as pitch
Two trees to share one soil
The whispering and the silent one
Two suns to wander the sky
The bright and dark as night
Two minds to host one soul
The vivid and the mournful one
Under the clouds of grey and above the soils of black, black
Hear the whispering ghosts sing:
"So now lay yourself asleep and follow the queen into the deep!
So now lay yourself asleep and follow the queen..."
