The Grander Voyage

Gaze into the darkness From this shadowy abode A flame far out in the void A glimpse of the beyond Like an old awakening sentience Some fragment of eternity Altering all perspectives of the world known An elusive meaning Deeper than everything you had once believed in From a tired slumber something inside awoke As pale flames dance high, Leading you onwards To find the hidden origins On the brim of the sky By thunder awake Let lightning lead To the highest peak, Into the deepest precipices I am the rising tide The approaching storm The avalanche I am the voyage grand

Through the winding maze of hollow whispers My path lies narrow but shining to me clear A stark existence been trapped for endless ages Yet through my visions I’ve travelled everywhere I’ve travelled everywhere Come dare the night my kindred Come shed these fears of old All restless souls who dreamt to wander freely To navigate the oceans by radiant stars aligned Where long lost gods speak through raging winds To us… On the banks of the everflow I drank this earthen stream Held secret from the blinded Who never dared this dream We rose where summers come to die The heart of winter, the frozen hinterlands We stem from shadows where mournful choirs sing Our barren hinterlands, where day and night are kin Entwined… From beyond where all roads end Where the coldest of rivers have their wells I stand ablaze in my darkness As I head into the night absolute I come from where nights lasting longer Where the frost is a heartbeat away Where the glory of summer is fleeting Where the fire inside is what saves you From decay… Pray the frost of my birthright won’t find you I stand vigilant and true to my course The nature’s my only superior Blood is what nourishes all that must grow Through the winding maze of hollow whispers My path lies narrow but shining to me clear A stark existence been trapped for endless ages Yet through my visions, I have travelled everywhere We rose where summers come to die The heart of winter, the frozen hinterlands We stem from shadows, where mournful choirs sing Our barren hinterlands, where day and night are kin Entwined

Distant apparitions Panacea divine Perils and sorrows My all for a sight In pursuit of the light Or phantasms in vain Uneven my course But certain the pain All of those nights and days Doubt as my sole consort Infinite long my journey We walk alone Summers and winters pass through snow and across the seas, Endless the path I wander To the silvan shrine Cede did all my anger Cede did all my hurt Cede did all desire In wood, in dirt As stillness fell again And silence spoke anew Echoes of truths From eons ago In the silvan arms I rose With earth as my throne Past the woodland spires Towards the sky Traversing the endless I find myself renewed In dark ancient waters My reflection so true The grander perspective A cathedral of leaves A deeper sense of purpose And to offer my dream All of those nights and days Carving my voyage grand Infinite long my journey I walk alone Summers and winters pass Through snow and across the seas Endless the path I wander To the silvan shrine I march on

Deep breaths of forever Sweet scent of emerald ripe Whispers, islands in silence In silvan arms we come back to life We wished for this darkness We wished for the night to go on (forever) To cover the scars Shadows have all hurt undone I know I’ll find a way And I know I’ll find a way (home) Cold the raging winds are weeping Down ruins of victories past So slow the river of life Of triumphs all memories so vague I wish for the wisdom I wish I could finally see (afar) Beyond all horizons And all that’s been hidden from me I know I’ll find a way And I know I’ll find a way (home) We will find a way And we will find a way Away… With ardor and resolve We delve into the vast unknown Onwards into the night We keep our blazing fires high The proudly few departed Journeymen in realms uncharted Onwards into the night Resiliant we rose from the silvan shrine And we march home
