Thickthorn

Built centuries ago Now left to die away Such mystery so many events Enshrined in fantasy Nothing could enter this place locked in time Forgotten by fools chasing modernity We stumble upon it in daylights decline As we enter the years pass away Such forgotten beauty The pain and the cruelty Of many a wise man is felt I gaze through the windows Into tree tops and moonlight This is how things are meant to be Cry out with fervour I am all alone All that surrounds me; arches and stone Lit by moon and candle this room of mine Invokes illusions of a darker kind I feel the presence of another soul This eerie haunting makes my blood run cold I drink from the chalice of elder years Intoxication sets aside all fears

A spirit haunts this place but I know not it's name Ghastly the atmosphere yet it wakes my soul The dead of centuries lie beneath the earth Morbid fascination draws me in Dusk's breath falls to unearth nocturnal beauty Dark forms float in the chilling air Is all an illusion of the blackest night? The eldest spectres shall soon appear I see into the distant past Memories exhumed from ancient times Misty the air but clear are these visions A purer place that no longer exists Tombs covered in ivy start to crumble From the shattered stone rise the now undead Silhouettes float through the midsummer wind The place of the dead has now become alive Surreal thoughts fall into my mind Lift the ruined sacraments to the sky Warm blood rushing through my veins The ancient souls now walk the earth again It is midnight I see the hidden eyes They come to me in my dreams to end these lonesome times Dawn shall soon be here to take away the fear And with its light shall come the sight of landscapes from the past Now reborn the ancient times and better days We relive the journey of the superior beings All is now pure nature is ruler Never shall these lands be destroyed again

Floating through the trees, like a spectre from ancient times I haunt this long lost place, I am the ghost of forgotten pride Lost all sense of time, perceptions burn in the forest's flame So small and so unknown I drift into the very depths Paths stained with blood, lead the way into the dark lands Stars fill the sky and the moon lights the soft earth Eerie and cold, the howling wind calls me The wisdom of old, shall lift my soul into the realm beyond Misery leaves my heart on this perfect summer night Warm the once cold air that drifts through blooming boughs and leaves Desire fills my veins, to be at one with this wondrous eve Memories unearthed by the visions that I see Immortality come to me I yearn for you This vision that I see makes me long for eternal life Obscurity, may no one find this ancient place Only the true must enter these ethereal woods

Winds howl my name through tall ancient trees A shroud of despair haunting on this cold night Enter the gates and fall into darkness This place takes my soul its strength is unknown Weaponry of might grant me powers of the night Ancestral pride ancient battles we must fight Fire from within let our enemies burn in sin Cold winter skies heed the call as our enemies die

My home once pure now ruined Eldest trees have crumbled Fields lost forever Woods once vast have been eaten away To stop further loss we must fight Fight with the swords of warriors of old Claim back the soil of our brave ancestors We shall not stop until victory is ours Repopulate the forests of the pure Bring back the world that they try to take away We have the will of nature at our side An almighty force forged through centuries We cannot allow this continued destruction We owe our lives to those who fought before We shall not crumble under this futile scum We must secure the future for those who lie ahead Fill my limbs with ancient hate For those who took this world away Give me strength to devastate And crush their regime We are the brave we are the true All we have is hate for you We the honoured chosen few To claim back our heritage We have St. George in our heart Until our end and from the start The ruined glory is our art For we are English I call upon the supreme ones Our revival's just begun We shall not hide we shall not run We are the victors now

In the torment of our poisoned world I search for knowledge and find it in these woods unknown None shall find me, the old trees call me away Their darkness blinds, no impurity may cross these walls Feel the power, stronger than their curse Wind and water, rushing through my soul An ancient monument to be found in the very depths Made by the wise, preserved by darkness and terror Only the brave may find this secret place Here they shall stay and remain until their end The only place untouched by the feeble and the weak I feel the ancient wisdom as it is passed to me So many years of hatred have now been left behind The purest of visions falls into my eyes

This wintry decline all is bleak all is dying Cold and empty landscapes of my mind come to haunt me Woodland filled with mist Tree tops lined with frost The home of ancient dreams The home of forgotten souls Long are the nights And they are so cold The howling of the wind Through the trees so old All enshrouded in fog all is damp all is sombre Everywhere drains the life from me in this season dark Woodland filled with mist Tree tops lined with frost The home of ancient dreams The home of forgotten souls Long are the nights And they are so cold The howling of the wind Through the trees so old I stand at the castle gates Like a warrior from centuries ago On this freezing night Nothing walks beyond it's walls It points into the sky Stars and full moon beaming down I float into the night The night of silent mysteries Illusions so obscure Thoughts that feel so real Fantasy can be reached On this night of silent mysteries

Feel the storm of death Falling from the sky Apocalyptic wrath Evil in disguise It makes the forests grow Back to what they were Epic and untouched The strongest force of all Strangest forms life Grow with new found strength In the lands unknown Centuries they have spent Soon they'll rule earth With their natural laws They'll take over the world They have done this once before Thunder and eerie fog Enshroud the fertile earth Ancient shadows rising Fear is everywhere The coming of a new dawn The fall of the sun Within this reign of terror Another realm is born Brutal darkness falls A night we won't forget The storming of the seas Winds of destruction Nothing shall remain A new beginning's here A third and final chance To preserve the earth
