Skyforger

Sparks sent flying, my mind thundering The room of my heart flashing to the sky The flaring of fumes fill my senses Pervade this room and this space The days they blend into the nights The moon, the sun unite Order of stars expires A wonder is born I listen and aim, I observe I use all the forces and let it transpire I confront the darkness absolute And blinding, dazzling brilliance From roaring flames the shapes emerge Come forth they do with vile charms Their poisoned core hides in beauty But I see and perceive their deceit, I see Into the blaze I shove them back To lose their forms to the hungry fire Again and yet again I start my work anew Again and again I start my work again

In the bowels of rocky mountain A fiery bird I forged Forged from iron, from molten steel A flaming eagle majestic beast On the wings of my eagle To black river I flew To the dale of the dead To the stream that grinds all flesh The eagle soared sky high Touched the vault of heaven The sky sparkled Cracked and creaked The eagle soared sky high Soared my flaming griffin The thunder crashed and rolled Rolled the monster's head I found a monster, a black giant pike From it's jaws my eagle saved me Dragged the fish under the sun Split it's belly, ripped the head off I rolled the pike's head to the house of the north I threw the bony skull at they haughty queen Here's a throne for you to rest your frozen bones I have done my share, now keep your promise I had made the heavens Forged out a miracle The snake infested field of death turned over Slayed the wolf of shadow lands Shackled the bear of death I captured the impossible The pike from the black river

Slowly turns the key of time In the lock of promises broken In mute silence of my space I crouch under my yearning The works of my gods receding now Evade my grasping hands Her hair I would long to adorn With glowing stars Her brow with shining sun In silver I would trace The moonshine of her grace The shining one Perfection of the skies I knew And memories of my deeds Fade away beyond my reach And change to lonely nights But ever so slowly Turns the key of time In a rusty lock Of broken promises

Under the vault of heavens I stood alone, waiting The blaze of silver shining in my eyes My hands of gleaming gold The red of iron in my veins The blue of steel in my bones The sparkle of blackness of coal in my hair My chest golden with waved It is my heaven It has my eyes It is my space It has my shape I knew it was my masterwork I felt the strength of gods Revised the soaring heights Let the heavens be aligned I listened with care the place for the moon Made sure of the tones Painted through void the route for the sun Made out the locus of stars I pierced the distant dome For the lights to seep through I checked the curves of borders of all And placed the highest star It worked and sun and danced It shone and gloved and gleaned It circled, curved and blazed It pulsed, burned and waned It flowed from my bones And bolted from my fingers And settled on and over me And made me face my longing

Inside this nonexistence I know very clearly The directions, all the points Of every potential quarter I forge my wisdom Into an arc surrounding all I forge my heartbeat To a dome all heavens wide I know the sun and the moon The names of stars Their movement and purpose I mark the place of polaris on these impossible heights I forge the horizons I craft them for flowing blood I forge the places Precise for silver, precise for gold In solitude, I measure out The range of barren lands I drain unto the nothingness The intersecting curves I look at all directions I look at one clear point I see them all come together I see into the heart This here is my place, it is my work I was made the maker of the sky I am the maker of the sky I am the forger of the arc

Got a maid from the lands of north A wife from lands of strange The work of gods was at last replaced By days and nights of men She wakes beside me She stands by me She stares at our sky She lives our lives In the beginning of all time the sounds of war I sanctified for work Cries of terror harmonized to a song Spirits of wrath restrained And now dead is my wife Ripped apart by iron teeth Slashed by the claws of steel The ancient venom surfaced again She lies in the ground She's gone from me She stares without eyes She stares at me Poisoned by the bane of riches Betrayed by lies manifold Slain by avenger The ancient venom turned the course of fate She lies in the ground She's gone from me She stares without eyes She stares at me She woke beside me She stood by me She stared at our sky And lived our life

Darkness was my light Muteness was my tongue Death was my life Matter was my spirit I am a brother to the fire To fire a brother I am From breasts of maidens three I drank the black milk Devoured the white milk I swallowed the red milk Brother to the fire I am Brother to the fire I've lain in the dark bowels Bowels of this marshland Dead beneath the soil Under the waters Oblivious to all Devoid of all knowing
