1. Cleansing
Breathe deep the winds of change
As winter grips once more the land
In highland streams my warrior son
Cleanse the bloodstains from thy hands
Drink from crystal waters cold
Release thy mind from plight
For there be no need of penitence
When honour rules the fight...
2. Winterfallen
Rainfall wash away my tears
Wept for the loss of life and wisdom
Dark horizons reflect the bleak nature
Of my despairing soul
And so I mourn.....
Peril came to many this cold season
Swords came to rest on soils of desolate winter
Shields failed, helms cast aside
Midst the bitter fury of war
Chill are the winds
Which hasten from the snow capped peaks
Solitary oaks shiver against their dismal caress
Lone is the raven soaring in the brooding sky
Weary my heart to walk the battle plains
And so I wander.....
Into the forest's embrace
Inspired by the might of the trees
Dense oaken halls of evergreen
Glistening under twilight's grey
Enriched by the offering of the skies
Standing defiantly evermore
Neath the endless burden of melancholy
3. Fog in Thickets
Winter solstice
The deadheart of the woods
Gathered the obscure ones
To welcome the falling dusk
In a ruined stone circle girt by blackened oaks
Cloaken figures stoop by ritual fire
Dreary chants echo in the forest's depths
Forgotten ceremonial rites are spoken
Druidic wisdom passed down knowledges ancient
To wield the mysterious power of words and elements combined
Night thickens.... Sulphur is cast upon the fire
The roar of flames..... Is reflected in the falling blade
As the moon peaks high above
Blood trickles down the altar of worn stone
And the stars in the fathomless heavens
Are heralding the awakening of dark primordial forces
The passing of life opens the gates
Spiritual dimensions are aligned
Fog rises in the deep woods
Mists reborn gather beneath nocturnal peaks
Eclipsing clouds soften the moonlight
Returning the lands to ancient splendour
Mystic souls forgotten wander eternally
Arcane might lurks once more in the night's gloom
Mortal lives are bleak as the long winter
And the fire burns rekindled by our dark forest spells...
4. Bloodride
5. Duskwanderer
6. Graves in my Fatherland
7. Shadow of the Wood
Shades of olden boughs cast against dying embers of sunset
Danced fervently as evening winds arose once more
'Ere weary gusts began ebbing to a gentle breeze
And twilight succumbed to the persistence of devouring night
Flittering leaves whisper wisdoms of forgotten eternities
Dark secrets laid upon the crests of fragrant air
Vapours creeping slowly through the rows of oaken limbs
Wove silken cloaks above the feet of elder mountains
