The Way 

Forging the future from the timeless stone 
Oh let me know how far I can go 
Answering the questions that no one ever asks 
Float through the sea of madness 
And face the everlasting task 

So lonely to wander 
So sad to be alone 
In the mist of the unknown 
Trying to fool myself with dreams that never come 
So hard to stand my ground 
Never again will I fail 
Will you tell me not to wait 
Tell me to live for today 

As the flowers wither 
I will forget my pain 
Since the stars have shone 
The devil has shown me the way 

Morning Star 

You live only for yourself 
Or send your soul to the heaven's grace 
Been weak as the autumn leaves 
Or strong as the growing seed 
Swallowed into the black 
Search for entrance 

Watch to the eyes of morning star 
Beckon for the savior 
But it's much too far 
Reach for the infinity 
The only thing that remains is decay 


Nightfall 

As a rot to rape the spring sown seed 
A plague sprang forth of his tracks 
Churns ran red when cows milked blood 
And famine cracked poor backs 

Who would hear a lament sad 
Under the bright blue sky 
That's sung in hovels dark and low 
With eyes too weak to cry 
But horror be the nightfall's gloom 
For the man upon the road 
When moon doth laugh at worthless lives 
Twice hard for all promise showed 

Empty stare upon his face 
Nine fathoms deep 
He set upon the road again 
On ground that bears no seed 

Tuonela - �������

Sorrow is my bread 
And tears I drink as wine 
Oblivion my happiness 
Ground under teeth of time 

For cold be the stone 
When frost be devoured the land 
Consolation is no gift 
Of winter's icy hand 
Upon a crust of snow 
I'll lay my broken frame 
What steel and iron won't take 
I'll give in winter's name 
No good a sullen soul no use a simple knave 
No groom for brides of plaited hair 
This man old and lame 

If only I could breathe 
To see the sun of may 
but still longer are the nights than days 
As I wither away 

Came the man of crown 
With sound of war drums beat 
Said no sword arm's strong enough 
Without my two good feet 

But not overlooked am I 
In eyes of the maid I'll wed 
I'll reap the crops of Tuonela 
My bride's wealth in death 

Greed 

Not thirsty am I for the blood 
Of redeemer of thy greed 
My hunger can't be satisfied 
With flesh of thy nazarene 
No gilded streets of heaven's grace 
Entice me in thy speech 
No holy mother doth condone 
All your pillage war and greed 
But know thee that all oceans worth 
Of waters turned holy 
Won't change the course of river 
That runs inside of me 
My blood flows ever skyward 
And pools where thy black is white 

For woulst thou not carve at my soul 
With sword of thy supreme truth 
Strike me down on my bended knees 
For thy baptism so soothe 

My blood flows ever skyward 
And pools where thy black is white 
Alone am I to raise my head 
In the starless forest night 

Divinity 

Last day brings the grace 
For bearers of forbidden name 
Step into five fold mace 
As son as father in a frame 

Someday fire wipes the rain 
Fears are frozen tears whisper 
Things that no one hears 
Cry now, cry now for me again 
Tomorrows pride and pain 
Why you kneel before my name 
Crushing my belief 
And make shape to my relief 
For who you set your prayers 
I can't hear them anyway 

Shining 

My soul is bleeding 
I feel so small 
Afraid that this will never end 
I can't understand the pain in my bones 
I sleep through another trance 

Climb over the rainbow 
From here you can see so much 
I need someone to take me down 
But who can you trust 

Got so many things to say 
But it's something I don't wanna be 
Gotta get away case it's time to shine 
Like a fallen angel I run 
I won't ever see the sun 
See the circle is now complete 
Yet the harvest remains undone 
Where hemlock grows and vermin crowl 
All dreams descend with fear 
Crushed by the darkness that wells inside 
That beast I hold so dear 

Withered... 

Withered be the flower 
Long past it's prime and bloom 
Forgotten on the stony bed 
This silent hillside tomb 
For coppered be the grip 
Of this wooded land 
A crude cold gauntlet 
Hides the boney hand 

Tears once warmed the ground 
Torn out of eyes that could cry no more 
Compassion for the wind to take 
O doth pity the bastard poor 
A life of misery and hate 
Upon a chance a twist of fate 
The poison from the goblet ran 
Down the throat of her drunken man 

Summer's End 

In the morning mist by the waning moon 
through the woods she set on foot 
With a sacred blade cut the berries down 
Dug up the dreaded mandrake root 

Tread my path to summer's end 
This bequest I leave you she says 
You will see what could be evergreen 
Turn to copper and fade to gray 

By the standing stones 
Atropine eyes smiled at me 
Sitting in a sluggish vertigo 
Sands of time form another dream 
No love without sacrifice 
No life springs without decay 
The final kiss is a wormy one 
In soils cold caress to rest we'll lay
