Pale Orchid
05:08
|
|||
|
Lone, grow forth from the swamps of death
The mire with apathy and despair
Droplets glisten on her leaf
A beacon of hope calling to me
Webs of deceit so wretched and dark
Enshrouding the branches leaves and bark
Tendrils of the memories past
Creeping to the sun and leaving their mark
Pale orchid
Pale orchid
Mist gathering now clouding my head
Among the decay and among the dead
White rise the petals and the leaf
A beacon of life and of disbelief
Veiled in a slumber the trees who surround
And their growth be stunted for the myth of the shroud
For the day now rises and she is not dead
Yet the mire now crumbles and trees fall with it
Pale orchid

Withering Winter

Gaeaf
Lying awake
Another sleepless night
Under a canopy of stars
An act of cogitation
The cold has settled deep
Deep in my bones and in my mind
Crawling forward
Through the wastes
A pale reflection
A gaunt figure
An unfamiliar face
Stares back vacantly
Feel the chill run down my spine
I'm one with the lashing rain
Feel the cold claw at my skin
I'm one with the howling winds
The cold has settled deep
Deep in my bones and in my mind
Feel the passing of time
Feel the freezing wind
The cold has settled deep
Deep in my bones and in my mind
Crawling forward
Through the wastes
Wither my soul
Wither to my bones
Finally
I am gone
Everything you love will perish
In the wake of winter's majesty
All will fade
All will fade

Castell Caeredin

Through the snow
Trudging on
The men of Din Eidyn leave their home
Hen ogledd
Warriors
On to Catraeth to be slewn
Gleaming shields
Long maned steeds
Five companies fell before his blades
Glittering mail
Spears held high
Red their swords let the blades remain
Ough
Fell from grace
Mynyddog
Cleaved in twain by Oswy's hand
Flow the rivers of blood
Five companies gone
Forever lost to the ancient world
Fight their ground
Bravely so
The heroes were remembered on
Cynon lived
Telling his tale
The castle of maidens and his trials
Through valleys
'cross broad plains
Search for a foe of worthy blade
Through forests
Upon the hill
The silver bowl and the black knight killed

Aeons ago in the frozen north
Ancient lore tales of old
Tells of a battle many who fought
A final stand against their foe
Far they trudged, many long days
The snowbound roads, a very long ways
From the homes of warrior men
To the drinking halls at Din Eidyn
A campaign to fight overwhelming odds
Five and ten score stood their ground
Shields a-raised, helmets gleam in the light
Eyes ablaze brandishing their might
Pushing forth with swords high
Screaming out a battle cry
Greet the foe with bloody death
Slain where they stand, their final breath
A dawn of the utter end
Falls the north to other men
Bloodshed and the spoils of war
Fallen now the warriors
Fall of the northern kingdom
Fall of the northern kingdom

Moonlit Aether
05:49
|
|||
|
Blood on the hands of the beholder
Stares forth into his being
A presence it lurks for the spirit
Inside his mind
Consciousness slips
A state of grey and bleak
Swirling to the everlasting void
Slowly seeps into the skull
Startled and woken
Dream or nightmare
The aether seeps from his wounds
Drifting further into the realm
Awaiting the eternal joy of cold
Translucent essence of the void
Moon beams illuminate
Fog obscures the vision
A white haze of enigma
Pale white surrounding
Aether of the moon

Flowing from their bodies
Solace of the martyrs
Calling forth to the light
The screams of dying and agony
Rivers of blood
Grieving souls anew
Seething their blood
Eternal servitude
Fallen warriors
Damnation it awaits
Forth to seek the holy ones
Forth to meet their fate
Reach from beyond
The night is now awake
Rivers of blood
Grieving souls anew
Seething their blood
Eternal servitude
Curses, malice
For the fallen ones
Weeping, solace
To the blackened ones
Falling, shapeless
Greet the spirits of
Burning, gormless
The warriors above

Far Away Into The Sky
04:48
|
|||
|
Sorrow, at the end
Passed over to the afterlife
A journey beyond to the other side
Beyond the pale dawn
My soul it travels
Far away into the sky
A very long way
From the comforts of home
The journey to my end
(Bleak)
Bleak this fog I sail through
Alone in my journey
No lamp to light my way
Life was dark and empty
And death is more, more I pray
A long and lonesome path
Eternity to find my way
No fear but no joy
A prison of nought but grey
Life meaningless
To a death of more the same
Cast my body into the water
But end cannot come

The Pale
14:09
|
|||
|
The blaze of the funeral pyre
And the raze of the cities conspire
Judgement for those who bequest
And the gravestones of ancients bereft
Fall to the knees in a blink
Iron ships downward they sink
And the burden it falls into thee
And the people greet death and beliefs
A violent uprising ensues
Followers of scarlet and blue
Mighty the walls of their lair
And crumbled they do now despair
Dreams and the echoes of life
But they are all destroyed by the strife
An age of the fires and the grief
An age of no re ward to reap
Fallen now
They fall now to snow that surrounds
Their children now lay in the ground
Frost now a layer on their skin
And the winter sun making the gleam
Weapons of steel doused in blood
The snow covers warring in mud
An age of calamity due
For the people of scarlet and blue
Bodies in bloodied decay
The stench dominating the day
Rising the souls from within
And the death of our kin

Hammer of witches
Oppression of ages
Those forgotten and those who cannot defend
Those who refused to obey
Aeons of misogyny
Breeding forth a progeny
Of evil and disdain
By the holy men and filth who reign
A system of deeply rooted hate
For the bringer of the neonate
Why were they brought to death
The state of fear it becometh
Malleus Maleficarum
Their tool of misery
To subjugate the thinking few
Propagate misogyny
Malleus Maleficarum
Their tool of misery
To subjugate the thinking few
Propagate misogyny
Black magics and faking hex
You are hereby tried for your death
Arbitrary and nongermane
Your pleas are nought but wasted breath
To the stakes they will banish you
And flames shall lick at your feet
For the men they fear your intellect
And non conformity
Malleus Maleficarum
Their tool of misery
To subjugate the thinking few
Propagate misogyny
Malleus Maleficarum
Their tool of misery
To subjugate the thinking few
Propagate misogyny
Hammer of witches
Oppression of ages
Hammer of witches
Oppression of ages
