Darkwoods and Willows Wild Dark are the woods and wild is the willow Swift is the silence passing over the meadow Blasted be the breeze that brings with it sorrow Calmed by the screams that cannot see the morrow Nepenthe ease the pain that's as cold as the river Sun heat the day that makes my soul shiver Swift be the arrow from my bow from my quiver Sharp be its point and to black hearts deliver For a darkness has taken this once prosperous land That which stood firm has crumbled to sand But that which forsakes shall soon pack up and flee For by arrow and blade these lands shall be free The sorrow is planted in root, branch and see The vast cry of nature heeds me and mine steed We ride down the sorrow and with it we go To another dimension not above nor below Life floods the woods and with joy weeps the willow Bird song breaks the silence that troubled the meadow A fresh scented breeze has blown out of sorrow An air of sweet laughter awaits for the morrow.

Graven Bay Breath of dawn listening astray With leaves of singing harps Their tuns of exhausted dominance The cry of withering dust A love affair among the awakening Overwhelming disturbance fantastic terrors invite From the one who hides his name Among the formless allay the flower ashen Imparting immortality desecrated in horns Demonstratable throne of the evergreen anthem Those who dwell there seem dauntless Great antiquity of grievance recognised Across the valley flowering by the bay Austere dormant in grief Barbaric old hands within the grave I still lay cold at night lost and betrayed Longing for the majestic and elegant view The innocence lying south the crystalline cathedral Graven Bay All ones curing madness On shields of golden knives I sleep Wondering still searching for my own destruction I see no other way the night still embracing me Leaves of forbidden call On thorns I lay To the dark I scream; I am Under the autumn twilight.

Elysium (Gallery of the Fallen) Why the sky red? Crust of the Earth dead Flower of life gone Why do I burn? Destroy thee Dust of many fields gone. Weep no tears at my fallen grace Temptation of the netherworld Into the darkness at any given hand. See the seas of the sword Black nights I have on me the blood of death. Through the gallery of the fallen Fall of life Old man's hand over bleak hills Emerging destiny Wondering time. Life does not wait for you Dead and gone Nothing to show of your fallen existence Kingdom gone.

These Bleak Enshrined Emotions These bleak feelings enshrined within The clouds of the past Emotions as dead As the decaying autumn leaves Now that I have lost you To the sands of time, Only pain is left When a loved one dies. What is the point of going on When all I've lived for in life is gone, Depression remains. Manic depressive Painful existence Meaningless life Devoid of feeling What is left? I'm dead inside Let death take me Forging on in spite of myself, Living on through self torment, In losing you I've destroyed myself, I'm of the grave. Through all the pain I've suffered since you died Blaming myself for all that transpired, My life null of positive emotion, In depression I've no will to go on.

At the gates the mightiest hunger the endless torment For the abyssic voyage of remorse Mountains of eternity high above your kiss Its so vacant dying a windless efergy Sadness falls high in the sky For I'm escaping from the embrace so far away. For I'll always be reaping the cold winds Fallen night sunset of the dying morn Where are the always wanting to cry out the enchantment My enshrouded darkness covers your veil Hidden deep within the death of sorrow, tears For all alone you take my breath We dance the whisperings of the untold and forgotten Voices which are unheard The dust of your white satin gown locked away Within your hands and mind weep. The tenderness of the other arise Choirs of my sinking realm Why does she leave me now Into the bleeding eyes of profane darkness I go. I stand alone So far away from your touch Searching for my resting place Know the petals of the night Watch the stars as they freeze in the sky For my sun will never rise again, so far away. So few wonder and fight through their fear And die before they reach their gates Elysian fields flow and may stop forever Before the wind in the trees breathe the last Howls of nocturnal night and day My funeral awaits my call.

Leafy Tendrils Near the edge of the eternal starlight forest eaves Hidden in the clinging shadows, the lingering one grieves Awatch this night he is upon the dancing goblins game Wary of the wispy fire with the strange eidolon flames. Lurking in the depths of the insipid nevergreens Amongst the leafy tendrils where mortals have not been A shadowy figure ponders and sends his thoughts out up above To try to pierce the branchy tomb and mingle with the dove The rotting leafy tendrils inside his mind doth grow Trying to break into his soul they tangle to and fro Able to bear no longer he breaks from 'neath a tree Into the circle of goblins, with his staff to flee. The lone one flies amongst them, but his kind they do not know They flail their spindly limbs and let air a ringing crow A nocturnal elder goblin makes a sign with fingers three And the membranous flailing goblins flap off into the trees He turns his face into the sky and screams his questions three Why have the nightful goblins departed to the trees? What are these leafy tendrils that bring me to my knees? And where oh where by sky and earth have gone the race that gave me birth?

Millennia Gone A dragon plummets from without the moon And in the very same instant another star winks out The soul of the great beast has expired It savagely beats its falling wings And speaks coarsely in its hollow, rasping tongue Of a time, long since passed, when it was young Gravity latches onto the dragon and drags her cruelly earthward She can no longer defeat the elements and stay aloft Screaming, tearing at her breast she plummets headlong Into a dark chasm somewhere in the south, deep inside a forest And the nightingale whistles in its shrill, beauteous tongue Of millennia gone when the great reptilian was young. As Agony Fades (hidden track) Hide behind the asperity of my stone cold face As I stand here withering within winter's embrace the sun eclipsed by the gloom that shrouds What was once smiled upon Now is frowned weeping tears of blood like the summer's rain sorrow is my life As agony fades
