In Times

Circling High Above the earth Drew a letter Thought a spear Forgot the yearnings And left myself Broken through the silky skin That separates the times Two eyes closed Night is all around I've taken on another form Learning once again to speak Growing forth a shadow heart No less beautiful I hammer not for building But for Breaking the glass For bending the passing of days To the deeper will In the mind-hive I can hear you dream In the mind-hive It's so quiet up here Fractals gone I can see your face Fractals gone No need to move In the mind-hive I can hear you dream In the mind-hive I'ts so quiet up here Then I'll see but the one Circling high Above the earth Drew a letter Thought a spear Forgot the yearnings And left myself Broken through the silky skin That separate the times Then I'll see but the one Circling High Above the earth Drew a letter Thought a spear Two eyes closed Night is all around

Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched Like a sea of hope Assembling forces of old By the betrayer’s funeral pyre Building with fire! Like a field with endless harvest The first breath we take Uruz awakes, reaching higher Building with fire! Like a hammer of thoughts Our minds reborn What the inner I desire Building with fire! Come and feel the silence Come and watch the sun Come and bid farewell Tales will be told Tales will be ignored Tales will once again destroy Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt A picture from a dream forms a destiny The circle of life bound to be broken The gods cannot elude the pain A path in time built with fire Facing fear, facing birth The emptiness, the void, the dreams Unfold Burning shrouds, the air is cold The memories of time and space Unknown Sleeping tight in rising flames A mind evokes, the self returns Unhurt Seeing life, through the clouds Abandoning the womb, a seed Untouched

The age of the wolf is the age of the sword Son of the earth, father of despair, lurking And ever searching to end his thirst Strength reborn in the streams of cold blood Son of the earth, father of rage, hiding beneath And ever smiling when the seed is planted Hate paving the streets of gold Long gone is the golden grace Feeble beats from a frozen heart Now glowing eyes in the pale face The blind man cries in vain Long gone is the light of day Searching the borders of sanity The children of tomorrow they slay Their spirits entombed in rotten soil Son of the earth, father of anxiety, amongst us And ever telling the tales of the righteous Licking drops of sorrow from the lake of tears Son of the earth, father of treason, envy the beauty And ever embracing the desperation Hiding from the moonbeams, afraid to face the wrath Wandering down the icy path The sun is dying The mother is crying No sadness found in the jester’s face The sun is dying The mother is crying Long gone is the golden grace Feeble beats from a frozen heart Now glowing eyes in the pale face The blind man cries in vain Long gone is the light of day Searching the borders of sanity The children of tomorrow they slay Their spirits entombed in rotten soil The winter is closing in Like the grip of a war within Absence of light turning flesh to stone A cosmic war and you stand alone Brother killing brother Tales of honor becoming myth History written with axes and blood The wolf is howling at the gate Bræðr munu berjask (Ok at) bönum verðask, Munu systrungar Sifjum spilla Leika Míms synir (En) mjötuðr kyndisk At inu galla Gjallarhorni Skelfr Yggdrasils Askr standandi Ymr it aldna tré Hræðask allir (Á helvegum) (Áðr Surtar þann Sefi of gleypir Wandering down the icy path The sun is dying Silent tears won’t bring him back No sadness found in the jester’s face The mother is crying Breach the walls, relieve the pain, or be left in one thousand years of rain

I kept the sounds to myself And then I saw how I needed, how I’d drifted It was all in the past I survived The dreadful hours I dug the grave I climbed back out Waited oh so long Dreamt of us Alone walking Through the cemeteries Of our buried memories Held the stillborn heir To naught and less Sung her to sleep While she gnawed at the flesh And we're in the now Bleak shadows in time Echoes from the future Frozen in the past A funeral of ghosts A funeral of ghosts Dread Frenzy With nothing to keep us together Gateway Darkness Except the need to part ways Bindrune Clarity At the crooked cross at dusk Internalize Flight Days – Fight – Enlighten Harvesting – Building – Inside I kept the sounds to myself And then I saw how I needed, how I’d drifted It was all in the past (And we're all in the now) Gnawing and scratching At the roots of the self Paving the road to ruin Blowing out the candle The fire within Poisoning the lifeblood Gnawing and scratching At the roots of the self

Dagaz! There is no end Around and further Into the distance In times found A secret key The feather light astral beauty Outside the realm of thoughts Within the reach of certain dreams Spun from golden leaves of black holes And ancient thread Across the dimensional dome Above the lone runner A burst of all things bright All things bright and beautiful No more longing In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times The giants of the night side wade Silently through the sea Crossing through a singular point Opened by runic Penetration Standing by the sea, I wonder Alas, my aching heart We have come to dissolve the shackles So that we might live and breathe In all our times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times In the flickering of the present Travel across the ocean of times Become the other as yourself All things made Possible All times made Achievable Enter as you leave it all behind Exit through the heart See the endless suns burning The frost that never thaws Rites of stillness In Praise transition Times Rites of stillness In Praise transition Times Awoken from lust less slumber Ice from the eyes Fire from the mind Having found direction In Side the out Side Inside times In Side the out Side Inside times In Side the out Side Inside times In Side the out Side Inside times Dagaz!

The mind and the flesh The atom space The deity and mankind The distant nebulae The aeons of death and glory All within the infant’s first breath Onwards to life Onwards to death Onwards to madness Onwards to sense The chalice of daylight The coiling sword The blood of infinity The solar eclipse The instigation of doom All united in timelessness Onwards to create Onwards to erase Onwards to illuminate Onwards to the bridge Every morning as the first Dawning marks the new battle Each nightfall as the last The wounds can heal of mark the end All times in a single heartbeat In circular disintegration In between night and day Lies the shrine of secrets In between mind and chaos Dwells the non-being The mind and the flesh The atom space The deity and mankind The solar eclipse The instigation of doom All united in timelessness Onwards to life Onwards to death Onwards to madness Onwards to sense
