1. Dunes of Ice
2. After Many Aeons
At the conception of time, I was born
From black Moon's red tears I rose
I took the shape of the thousand forms
I lived in the temples of crystal ice
I swear, by the eternal that is in me
Nothing has ended, for nothing has begun
The key is in me, for I am the cosmos
Nothing has ended, for nothing has begun
After many aeons, I return, I return
My kingdom is yours, I am the darkness
Frozen lakes, the domain of the water sprite
Through the sky unclouded once again
Flame is coming from the sky
One word was spoken, the second yet shall be
Tremble not, for the time now is young
My place is in the peaks of grandeur
From the void we came, the words we sung
Now everything is said, and yet, none
After many aeons, I return, I return
My kingdom is yours, I am the darkness
Flowing through the veins of the Earth
Silence and peace, the return of the lunar cults
The message is within, the end has begun,
The rise of the moon, the fall of the sun
3. Kings of the Desert Dawn
Reborn of the shadows, a new Aeon approaching
Fires in vague lands, dreams of the red sky
Endless dimensions, and time
Time exists only in the state of mind
I watch the sky, might of the seven stars
Summoning at the end of time, I gaze
Calling up the spirits, I follow their eyes
Truly, kings of the desert dawn, we rise
Forlorn and lost, blade touched my skin
I saw the lights, horses riding at sight
Hooves beating the sand, I stand
Follow me, for the dawn of Night is close
Waxing moon, haze lifting the ground
Guardian of the desert, a serpent you are
I watch the sky, might of the seven stars
Summoning at the end of time, I gaze
Calling up the spirits, I follow their eyes
Truly, kings of the desert dawn, we rise
Forlorn and lost, blade touched my skin
I saw the lights, horses riding at sight
4. Ageless Dreams
I want to see what lies at the end of time
I want to see what lies at the end of death
I want to greet all demons in my mind
I want to feel how it is when you die
I dream of the ancient dragons
I dream of the ageless lands
I dream of the mighty wizards
I dream of the dark sky
I must see those lands
Must fly through the clouds in the sky
On a back of a black dragon
To see what lurks in my mind
I can almost hear
Of heroes and dragons fight
And I can almost see
How dark is beating the light
If I could just walk through my dreams
Maybe I will succeede
Or maybe must just wait
Until I DIE
5. 1001 Star
Riding through the desert winds
Rituals of the dead I perceive
I follow the voice of the mute
I lead the eye of the blind
Bid me among the veiled sky to dwell
Bid me among the stars to rest
Thousand and one star shines on me
Precious jewels of the crown of night
Beasts of the solemn silence
With thousand and one eyes you stare at me
From the deep arouse the ocean
Blackness pervaded the sky
Mystery of the words takes form
Every and each one of them speaks
Temples of the false ones burning
Every and each one of them speaks
Thousand and one star shines on me
Precious jewels of the crown of Night
Beasts of the solemn silence
With thousand and one eyes you stare at me
From the Deep arouse the ocean
Blackness pervaded the sky
I become a grain in the winds of sand
I am the warrior of the lost battle
I follow the voice of the mute
I lead the eye of the blind
6. Mountains of Triglav
Strong winds roaring
Over the mountains of stone
Throughout the lands
Of greenness and peace
Passing the realm
Where the moon never descends
Raising the wings
Of the great dragon I see
Dragon's flight
With the speed of the winds
In his eyes reflecting
The caves of the wise
The great Triglav
Into the mountain he descends
Where the ancient of ancients
The wisest one dwells
Flickering of the light
In the darkness appears
An old dragon's figure
In twilight he stands
Tremendous wisdom
In his scales lies hidden
The sound of his roar
Awakens all that is there
And then he had flown
With the powers of Night
Not far off
A sight of the mountain exposes
Nothing else had he seen, but rocks and ice
Upon a cliff, three-headed dragon has landed
Black as night, the land reflected
By the moonlight, fluttering of his wings
Shout pinching the air
Strong winds roaring, over the mountains
Of stone, throughout the lands
Of greenness and peace
White became black, nothing more
Was the same, trembling the land
Thunderbolt hits the ground
Three-headed dragon there stands
The white chief of the mountains, Triglav
Thousand and one times, praised be his name
7. The Run
I walk on all four as I struggle with my head
Unbearable, fearless voices accompany me
Spells! Away from me, in a pillar I stand
Spells! Away from me, conquering you I am apt
Cold little drops, the cry of the Earth
Rustling in my ears, the return of my fears
Spells! Away from me, in a pillar I stand
Spells! Away from me, conquering you I am apt
Cold I feel in my paws, I run, tearing my
Chains, surviving, blood freezing as I shed it
I run, strange beings following me
Moonlight soaking the land with delight
A violet horizon there sprouts alight
Dark clouds, green trees, I listen to the wind
Light of Venera I behold
Black soil beneath my feet
My teeth biting into human flesh
Never! My greatness is high above you
Never! Shadow is your dark, deaf and silent
The trees are falling, all burns behind me
Winds from distance roaring and returning
To me! Finally, my transformation is at hand
Full moon embrace me, a Wolf I am now
8. I Hold a Sword
I hold a sword, with the sign of the snake
The tree, the snake wrapping up
Above the sky, below the see
Ancient souls of the time long ago
Breaking through the silence of night
Being blinded, by the light
In my branches the dawn ripens
Above me, a majestic eagle flies
I was a scarlet bird with a silver beak
The song penetrating the time and space
I was a goat with the horns of ice
Smelling the spices of the forest nymphs
I hold a sword! I hold a sword!
I was a unicorn with a black horse-collar
Holding the cold of the undines
I was a five point star and a sing of bipolar
Watching the dance of the virgins
Rivers and streams, all greater than me
Living in the crystal caves of the mind
Rocks and stones, all greater than me
Gnarled celestial oak, voices from behind
I hold a sword! I hold a sword!
I was a unicorn with a black horse-collar
Holding the cold of the undines
I was a five point star and a sing of bipolar
Watching the dance of the virgins
I hold a sword, with the sign of the snake
The tree, the snake wrapping up
Above the sky, below the see
Ancient souls of the time long ago
9. Dragon Heart
Darkness, shadows, silence,
All concealing what is in the night
Look deeper, penetrate the darkness
And see what lurks in the heart
A sight beyond reality lurks there
A sight many fear, a dragon in full glory stands
Waiting to be heard.
Many fight it, fearing the unknown
Knowing not what they do
The dragon does not fight (thats right!)
Wisdom guiding its thoughts
Death comes to the dragon
Yet it lives still in the heart
Which will never forget
What it felt when the dragon was there
Speak not, lie hidden, and conceal
How can a heart expression find?
How should another know your mind?
Will he discern what quickens you?
A thought once uttered is untrue
The way you dream, the things you feel.
Deep in your spirit let them rise
Dimmed is the fountainhead when stirred:
Drink at the source and speak no word.
Live in your inner self alone
Within your soul a world has grown
The magic of veiled thoughts that might
Be blinded by: The outer light!
10. Towards the Emerald Light
The way I walk was long forgotten
Alone I stand in the midst of frozen forests
One with the nature I am united
The dragons' path is resting before my eyes
Confronting the greatest of all creatures
Living and delighting themselves in eternal peace
Ancient wisdom I acquire, the theme,
Melodies of the Night I hear
My eyes can only see what there used to be
Lakes and mountains of eternal energies
Never again I shall return in this human world
The pain to deal with is too much
Awaiting the sign longing for
This step I take for the first time
As shadows and spirits gather around me
I behold the opening of the rising
To the place of great entities it leads
Where no man has ever walked
I seize for my sword of power
And enter this magnificence of all that there is
Ancient thoughts imbue my mind
Feeling is strong, I sense the power
Towards the emerald light I proceed
Knowing this is one of my final rises
Before I never knew the truth
The fog was blinding me
In the darkness still I dwell
Yet, the meaning of all it unveils
11. Escape from Reality
