"Enchanted By The Moon"

"Enchanted By The Moon"

Upon by birth came close to death
I wore the night
Dark skies tucked me in
Stranded in the mire of sorrows
The lightless caves in ravines

The power rushed over me
The serpent ran me through
A moment stole my time
A might surged over me

My passage enchanted my the moon
The light with shadows blended
My delusion imprisoned me
My enemy destroyed me

A sword cleaved my skull
An arrow pieced my heart
A sword cleaved my skull
And the wind took my soul

Somebody broke my bones
Somebody tore my flesh
Somebody broke my bones
Somebody crushed my chest

The power rushed over me
The serpent ran me through
A moment stole my time
A might surged over me

"Enemy At The Gates"

"Enemy At The Gates"

They will come, the heinous thoughts
Silently from the lair
Hunched and crouched, they will come
Reeling us under their might

As they emerge, from the darkness of a heart
Born of the night, concealed in seeds of fear

They will come
The brothers of delusion
They will come
The sisters of shadows

The enemy is at the gates
The enemy at the gates

They make their camp, on the field of hope
And burn down, the house of sleep
Steal the treasures, of our thoughts
Storm the gated, of our hearts

As they emerge, from the darkness of a heart
Born of the night, concealed in seeds of fear

They will come
The brothers of delusion
They will come
The sisters of shadows

The enemy is at the gates
The enemy at the gates

"Enigma"

"Enigma"

On his trail the stones grew
he was led astray
forces strange he had to face
magic unseen
when he asked he was not answered
but he would not yield
what he asked for was not given
A shape to his dream

To a whirling mass of waters
the mountains of high
his desire he spoke out
to claim his due
a shadow moved in Louhi's mirror
the fairest maid of them all
restless mind found her to his liking
but the queen wanted more

Louhi spoke in riddled tones of three things to achieve
fin and catch the devil's moose and bring it there to me
seek the stallion born of fire, harness the flaming horse
he captured and bound the moose, he tamed the golden horse

Still remained the final test
hunt the bird from the stream of death

"Escape"

"Escape"

Therein lie the nets of iron
Snares of copper made
They offered drinks that lull to sleep
Of everlasting chains

But I changed my mortal shape
And took the form of a snake
I swam through the nets of deception
Crawled back to life again

Death bestows no wisdom
No might from death endowed
They say there’s no return but I
Made my way back home

Back to life

I was there among the shadows
Who whispered put their screams
I was transformed by the strength
Of my will to live

Death bestows no wisdom
No might from death endowed
There is no return, no way
To ever walk back home

Death bestows no wisdom
No might from death endowed
They say there’s no return but I
Made my way back home

Back to life

"Ethereal Solitude"

"Ethereal Solitude"

Blackness falls on empty calmness
the night is full
I kissed the frozen sweetness
the mist around my grief

don't let the past wear you down
let go of the life that haunts you tonight
don't let the silence take the sound

alone and isolated
ethereal solitude
you can keep all your secrets
there's no one to hold on to

don't let the past wear you down
let go of the life that haunts you tonight
don't let the silence take the sound

don't let the past wear you down
let go of the life that haunts you tonight
don't let the silence take the sound

"Evil Inside"

"Evil Inside"

Kiss the devil's mark
like a self-denial without temptation
she suffers from shame
prodigious perversions
it's her final dimension

feel affection for her longings
lamentation for no reason why
deep mistrust over matter
seduce it's will to melt away

she's plagued with pain
making me insane
passionate repulsion
kiss the evil inside
that you cannot deny
smiling at your sufferings

feel affection for her longings
lamentation for no reason why
deep mistrust over matter
seduce its will to melt away

"Excursing From Existence"

"Excursing From Existence"

Excursing from existence
Life flows away
Locks for arching will confused
Reach me stares pain

Ex-salvation dismal function
Life like dream fault really

Rebel decoying in ecstasy
We have propelled, we don't cry
Time with mercy
With alive past

Excursing from existence

I come out from other side
I come from sun feast upon
Domination of the other side... side
Excursing from existence

"Exile Of The Sons Of Uisliu"

"Exile Of The Sons Of Uisliu"

A wave the sound of Noisiu's voice
his singing was ever sweet...
Noisiu's grave has now been made
and the accompaniment was mournful

For him I poured out - hero of heroes,
the deadly drink that killed him

Dear his short shining hair
a handsome man, even very beautiful

Dear the grey eyes that women loved
fierce they were foes

"Far From The Sun"

"Far From The Sun"

Nothing is more than too much
I'm waiting for the tarnishing touch
you wish for the last kiss goodbye
like the child that cannot lie

I walk
away now from you
and your sun
it goes down from you
as I walk
away now from you
and from
from your sun

holding the wounds of the bleeding souls
you summon all the restless folk
to share the feast of anxiety
like the spawn that cannot breed

I walk
away now from you
and your sun
it goes down from you
as I walk
away now from you
and from
from your sun

"First Doom"

"First Doom"

The mountains of North
Shall erupt and flames
Of darkland will raise
Hail to one who hails
Blood for one who bleeds

O you mistress of northland
Queen of darkland
I may wash my hands of the
Evil master's blood

For that is no man's doom
Which I bring
That is child's doom
And it shall be the First doom
