1. Stone Gazed

4. Engraved in Eternity
1. Stone Gazed
The memory makes me shiver
the memory of my people persecuted
by this alluring creature
the beginning of my journey
encounter with my destiny
as blazes of eyes made me
her silent slave
echoes of my past life
are reflected in this cold stone
but cannot seal my thoughts
time passes slowly, the body lies still
but my lucid mind still runs
monolith on which my story is engraved
a warning for all, symbol of terror
courage is not enough
to bear this slow torture
life in death - stone I am
dust I shall never be
my jail shows me the way towards eternity
awaiting the scythe that never will come
come, come, black goddess, I await for thee
remove all that's remained of this agony
echoes of my past life
are reflected in this cold stone
but cannot seal my thoughts
my jail shows me the way towards eternity
awaiting the scythe that never will come
come, come, black goddess, I await for thee
remove all that's remained of this agony
time passes slowly
the body lies still
but my lucid mind still runs
The memory makes me shiver
The memory of the first time I saw
this alluring creature
she gazed, I turned to stone
2. The Chant
A chant in the night awakens my fear
cold wind from the north sweeps the crosses
in the dark misty deathground inside me
on whispers I flee, feel not hell beneath dreams
nothing more, nothing left but her voice
sings through lowlands and streams
she sits by the rivers of the night
as the moon hides behind a grey curtain
her dirge of death
and sufference brings me dreams
of what I'm not certain
Oblivion
through the hills and the valleys of black
through the land outstretched and unknown
the wind her companion of pain and disgrace
she sits and she's singing alone
I sit and I'm singing alone
but the words of my chant are unknown
I sing and from hell I was sent
I sing for a life's end
I listen, I fear, I'm taken, I hear
my life I forget
no remorse, no regret
no more anger, no more greed
thy chant I need
3. Wavespell
Time has come for me to sail
on a full moon night in high tide and beings
in their flaw scream with pain
Metamorphosis
she made me immortal
but now I seek for her to regain
my ordinary existance
I can't die because I've survived (the venom)
I raised again
alone with my destiny
many dawns still await me
I can't die because I've survived (the venom)
the scars of my previous deaths
are only distant memories
of fleeting pain
why is human life so short?
how many more mistakes must I make?
past and present
blend in a turmoil
of clashing feelings
time passes but I remain
letting tomorrow's waves carry me
by sea I seek her face
her song shall lead me
I cannot remember my way home
my eyes cannot grasp the light
at the end of my journey
4. Engraved in Eternity
Twenty pillars from the land's eye
time vanishes in distant memoirs
she held the key to many fates
but wisdom left her mind shattered
Ice cold eyes may glance through darkness
ages revolve in perennial quests
a voice may call stealthy paws
existance entrusted to a sword of Damocles
Crone
thy calling imbues ether with fear
Crone
thy desperate cries for no-man to hear
Aged to learn what all ignore
raised by mother earth itself
sister of all unending matter
a stone womb bred blood flooded veins
Screams have filled milleniums
a silver cage locks golden reasons
merciless destiny that of wailing for eternity
cursed before curse ever was
Crone
a feline given as companion
Crone
remembered only in oblivion
one day thy tedious being may end
but lives shall be bound to thine
each facing wages for one's sins
each uncertain in one's destination
but many have gone before thee
thy eternal repose has been long yearned
may come thy choice for peace
and flights of angels will sing thee to thy rest
