2. As I Walked Alone Under A Moonlit Sky
3. Loneliness
4. Through The Forests Of Black Frost
1. Victims Of The Black Mist
It was a night like any other
People were settling into bed
Little did they know
They would soon be dead
The pubs are full of people
Drunkards, forgetting their troubles
Over a pint of ale
Little did they know it would be their last
An abomination, the black mist of death
Creeps slowly into town
Not a soul is awakened
Not a drunkard is sobered
But the mist, it knows what it wants
Death, above all
The town will soon be gone
Lost, for evermore
In the dark it moves
Silent, unseen
Spreading to every niche
Through every crack in the walls
People die one by one
Their lifeless bodies consumed
As their souls watch on
Weeping tears of black blood
At dawn, the next morning
Nothing is left except an empty village
Their Bodies reduced to skeletons
Flesh eaten
Their restless souls still linger
Weeping uncontrollably
They are bound to this place
They shall never rest
Victims of the black mist!
Restless in death!
Victims of the black mist!
Cursed to suffer!
Victims of the black mist!
2. As I Walked Alone Under A Moonlit Sky
The night envelopes me
As the moon casts its light upon the earth
I am lost in my thoughts
Wandering outside of town
My feet take me to unfamiliar places
Away from the safety of home
Too late do I realize my folly
A dreadful sight awaits me
People gathered in their masses
Around a demonic altar
Chanting in a language
Foreign to my ears
Hooded men, in warrior garb
Drag a female onto the altar
Her protests are in vain
A dagger plunged into her heart
I am witness
To a ritual slaughter
I bear witness
To an unholy ceremony
My loneliness is replaced by fear
As I try not to make a sound
A morbid silence descends
Upon the entire valley
I live to tell this story
As there was no more sacrifice that night
I slipped back into the forest
Into the shadows from whence I came
Once I felt I was out of earshot
I ran as fast as I could
To tell the villagers
Of what I saw
I am witness
To a ritual slaughter
I bear witness
To an unholy ceremony
3. Loneliness
I am alone
Fighting this battle
Struggling against the forces
Of life and death
I cannot count on others
But they often count on me
We are entities
Walking the same path
I am lost within myself
Battling my personal demons
Searching for a saviour
For relief from the pain
I see no-one, nothing of that sort
All are preoccupied with themselves
As I stand in the middle of the crowd
Blinking back my tears
Why is it so hard?
To let all this out?
To free the demons
So they can be slayed together?
Is there no-one to turn to?
A question I always ask
In my search and wait
I find only myself
Maybe I will be the one
To free myself from this pain
"Save yourself!" cries my soul
In my moments of thought
But that is beyond me
I have plumbed the depths of my soul
And all I have found
Is loneliness!
I am lonely in numbers
Alone in a crowd
I am detached from life
Observing
I put up a facade of happiness
I try not to show the pain
On the outside I seem strong
But on the inside I suffer
Is there no-one out there
That feels as I do?
That bleeds from the pain
Of loneliness??
4. Through The Forests Of Black Frost
I journey all alone
My path shrouded in mist
Through plains and rolling hills
From night to day
My purpose I do not know
It is forgotten to me now
Once it was clear
But now no more
Through the cold and the rain
I ride my black steed
I spur him onwards
The landscape is frozen
Life is an alien being
And when I stop to rest
I feel the forest pulling me in
Through the forests of black frost!
Through the forests of death!
Through the forests of black frost!
I ride!
As I lose track of the days
Lose track of the time
Lose track of the hills and plains
I have passed through
I do not know where I go
I cannot turn back now
The pain drives me on
Towards uncertainty!
Through the forests of black frost!
Through the forests of death!
Through the forests of black frost!
I ride!
