The shadows grow long and the trees grow tall as we make our way through a forest of old We wander the path with instinct our guide Darkness surrounds we begin to lose sight We commit to go beyond whats known Compelled from within, our fate is sown Oh the shadows grow long and our memories thin as the trees start to spin Our feet leave the ground, the darkness recedes and we hear a faint sound Round and round the forest spins as we go into the dark within Fight or flight, die tonight, with spirits we'll dance tonight Lose yourself as the past begins to blur between the trees The forest melody dances with the leaves Free your heart, free your mind, there's nothing ahead nothing behind Deep within the forest of old, we lost our way, we lost our souls Unknown the ages pass us by, the forest is void of time Trees stretch across our minds, our thoughts entangled in the endless vines Rotten from within, they die Stars pierce the canopy Rivers gleam in the light Madness takes over as we Fly through the green twilight Elation twists into fear Memories fall with the leaves How did we end up here What are we to believe Lose yourself as the past begins to blur between the trees The forest melody dances with the leaves Free your heart, free your mind, there's nothing ahead nothing behind Deep within the forest of old, we lost our way, we lost our souls Awaken from the living dream Visions linger in your mind A forest outside of reason Were we ever inside\ Ages ago it seems Since we bathed in the light Spirits echo in our dreams Were we every truly alive Lose yourself as the past begins to blur between the trees The forest melody dances with the leaves Free your heart, free your mind, there's nothing ahead nothing behind Deep within the forest of old, we lost our way, we lost our souls

Sharp is the axe that cleaves the oak Long is the sword that kills our foes High is the smoke that rises tonight Heavy is the hammer that forges the soul Mirror of the lake, reflect the stars Show us the path to take, to lands afar Written in the void above, etched in the stone below Legends of our ancestors in the wars of old Words of fate Guide you to the end Through deaths gate Ride with fury in hand Though we may fall In song we live on To the end of our world Our souls have gone Hard is the path through the falling snow Dark is the sky in a land so cold Loud is the roar from the frozen wind Silent is the soul dying from within Through the frozen waste, to the touch of the sea Stars guide us through the mountains, to the highest peak Clouds drift in a sea below where war awaits Descend now into the storm of snow where we meet our fate Ready the spear for one last throw Hone the sword for the final blow Darkness swallows the burning sun Prepare now to ride into oblivion Voice of the olden king Grant us fire, give us strength Charge into the slaughtering Tide of death, blood red sea Last hour of the failing light Ride for death in the endless night Fire of this burning soul Only in death are we immortal Words of fate Guide you to the end Through deaths gate Ride with fury in hand Though we may fall In song we live on To the end of our world Our souls have gone

Tattered sails emerge at the edge of the world Taut with the wind as the storm begins to surge Forty guns glint from lightning on high The thunder of the cannons rhymes with the sky Oh the chain shot rips through them all No mercy the captain calls Prepare to be reclaimed by the sea Death awaits the unworthy With cannons we carve our way to hell We ride to death on the oceans swell Feel the cold embrace of the merciless sea Sail into the nightmare of the oceans dream Swords paint blood and lead meets skulls The thrill of death worth ones weight in gold Origin unknown, those cursed by the depths Storm across the sea bringing apocalypse Oh the guns at the crescendo A thousand souls sink below Our lives just a drop in the sea Escape from the eternal insanity World of water and sand Death rides on the wind Salt burns in the wound Blood rains the monsoon Deeper into the abyss Waters pull me below Sink this anchor What is left of this empty soul With cannons we carve our way to hell We ride to death on the oceans swell Feel the cold embrace of the merciless sea Sail into the nightmare of the oceans dream Far away where hell meets the sea Where the waves crush you for eternity You search for relief in an endless sea As you sink into the oceans dream Deeper into the abyss Waters pull me below Sink this anchor What is left What is left of this empty soul

Far beyond the vale, under black skies Something lurks below and it rises with the tide The moon hangs low, the swamp becomes alive Something lurks below, you walk to your demise Dormant the morass lies waiting in the void Now found by the those in search of the untold The evil that sleeps, the beast of underneath Stirs in delight with the coming of night In the vast unknown, a forgotten realm A wanderer will find an eternal home An abysmal grave amongst the decay The swamp no longer sleeps, only the willow weeps Far beyond the vale, under black skies Something lurks below and it rises with the tide The moon hangs low, the swamp becomes alive Something lurks below, you walk to your demise In the diminished light on the trail of the bold Wretchedness pursues the wanderer through the fold The roots pull from the earth, in terror he cries aloud Only agony is found in the dark underground Light begins to fade Hope sinks into the murk Pulled underneath Mind already decayed Part of the land Swallowed, entombed Something draws near Make a final stand Sink into this wasted land Tangled in your own mind Roots of life, ropes of death On the edge of sanity you stand Ignite your rage, resist the fear Take in your final breath Fight the beast, is it real Impale the heart with the spear Far beyond the vale, under black skies Something lurks below and it rises with the tide The moon hangs low, the swamp becomes alive Something lurks below, you walk to your demise

Alone he dwells among the pines Searching for solace, another life Orange of the fire calms the mind Shadows of the night linger behind Stranger now to the world of man The wild calls to his long lost soul Presence is felt in the trees To this place they are summoning Feel the call of the amber eyes The hunt has begun, the sun will not rise Hear the howl of a thousand wolves The wilderness calls and the raven cries Peering out into the black Eyes stare back from the in-between Crawling forward silent in step Wolves unnumbered encircling Though it seems of ill intent Something else draws them in Feeling of wonder, no regret Humanity fades as wolves dream Feel the call of the amber eyes The hunt has begun, the sun will not rise Hear the howl of a thousand wolves The wilderness calls and the raven cries Howl for the waning light as humanity slips out of sight Fall to the wild spell as the chorus begins to swell Claw at the calling earth, cycle of death and rebirth Hearken to the vast unknown where a thousand wolves roam By way of the crescent glow Beneath the withering oaks Ghost of the trees, spoken prophecy Born again to wander free Omen of death, visage of fear Roam through unnumbered years Thrill of the hunt, the eternal pursuit Free in the realm of a thousand wolves

Honor to thee one with the wind Sword in hand, one who's free Master of none wander the world Rise with the moon, set with the sun Across endless sands he wanders a wraith in the desert wind Ageless and eternal, among the living, a myth Awaiting for those worthy, his power is a curse For those who dare challenge, summon him with this verse Honor to thee one with the wind Sword in hand, one who's free Master of none wander the world Rise with the moon, set with the sun A warrior of the living, one raised by the sword Dreams of a wandering spirit and hears the echoing words Determined to seek glory, destined for doom A warrior seeks the ghost across the endless dunes Searching the wastes of a bygone age The sands of time still seethe with rage Far across the sand where no one roams A warrior calls and the wind, it groans Words of old linger in the wind From the realm of death a spirit ascends Risen from the sands to fight again Death will claim the lesser swordsman Clash of steel Sparks fly high Ancient metal Strikes tonight Blood soaks sand The wraith feels the edge Swords trade blows The warrior keeps his head Fate is sown Stars align The wraith sinks below And awakens inside One who seeks Will now be sought By way of blade A new master wrought Honor to thee One who stills stands Now forever cursed To roam the sands Until another comes Wander the world They will come for glory To claim your sword

The Ritual 05:11
Cold mist settles over cursed ground Torches dance in hands of the depraved The lifeless form stirs amidst the fire A spell is called to recreate the unmade Restless the wolves cry to the starlit sky Moonlight flickers through smoke and mist The maker watched with eager eyes Hollow stone echoes into the night Your spirit leaves but again you rise Beyond the void the call beckons aloud The harvester breaks the chains of death Returned to a world you used to know The ritual complete, vengeance you sow Deathless we rise before the rituals cries Torchlight drowns in endless black The maker flees from demise Broken stone rains from the sundered sky There is no escape, death comes for us tonight Born into the night Risen to kill the light Thoughts from the other side penetrate the mind Terror we must face, undeath makes haste Conception of absurdity, oh madness, the irony Horrors that we bred from our agony Moonlight flickers through smoke and mist The maker watched with eager eyes Hollow stone echoes into the night Your spirit leaves but again you rise Torchlight drowns in endless black The maker flees from demise Broken stone rains from the sundered sky There is no escape, death comes for us tonight

Silhouettes of shapeless forms Move through the mist of an obscure world Out of reach, intangible Figures drift in the cryptic swirl Gravitate from sanity Truths lost in forgotten dreams Walk in the steps of a memory Across the void in the cosmic stream Light of stars in an ageless sky Timeworn stone of the mountainside Passed through words of countless lives Legends erode and heroes die Eclipse and haze obscure the truth Ancient forms amidst vine and root In the shadow of the great monolith Lost in a realm of mist and myth Stories speak of the cost of sin An omen warns of a world undone Madness plagues the minds of men Ominous clouds block the sun Conjurings of the paranoid Crawl forth from the depths Voices that reach from beyond the void Steer the blind with fictive steps Alas we reach the end of days Do the divine stir the haze Beckon for the sky to make a sound Die as truth crumbles to the cursed ground Hear the voice that whispers in rivers and streams Gaze beyond the void for the truths unseen Drift through the mist of the aberrant dream Walk in the myth lost to memory In the deepest sleep, the darkest dream Beyond that which can be seen What is death but another sleep Life just a drop in a celestial sea Harvest of consciousness, forever reaped Pattern Repeating for infinity Light of stars in an ageless sky Timeworn stone of the mountainside Passed through words of countless lives Legends erode and heroes die Eclipse and haze obscure the truth Ancient forms amidst vine and root In the shadow of the great monolith Lost in a realm of mist and myth At the edge of all hope The precipice of doom Dare to tempt fate Before all is consumed Alas we reach the end of days Do the divine stir the haze? Beckon for the sky to make a sound Die as truth crumbles to the cursed Ground As the dark waters rise Ascend to the truth or drown in lies When the sky starts to fall Will the gods hear your call As the stars begin to fade All is ruin, death, decayed As the mist begins to wane Only in myth shall we remain Only in myth shall we remain Only in myth shall we remain Only in myth shall we remain Only in myth shall we remain
