- A Dirge
ME SEEMES I SEE THE HIGH AND STATELY MOUNTAINES,
TRANSFORM THEMSELVES TO LOWE DEJECTED VALLIES:
ME SEEMES I HEARE IN THESE ILL CHANGED FORRESTS,
THE NIGHTINGALES DOO LEARNE OF OWLES THEIR MUSIQUE:
ME SEEMES I FEELE THE COMFORT OF THE MORNING
TURNDE TO THE MORTALL SERENE OF AN EVENING.
ME SEEMES I SEE A FILTHIE CLOWDIE EVENING,
AS SOON AS SUNNE BEGINS TO CLIME THE MOUNTAINES:
- A Pyre Of Black Sunflowers
I saw a pyre of black sunflowers
Trapped in a swarm of moths
And swallows crying heimve
Hovering on the storm
Soaring above the golden corn
So gracefully
And then a sadness gripped me
All shall pass
- A Song For Deaf Ears In Empty Cathedrals
The veils trails and trials
In hearts rites and dreams
And count your blessings
The night has no end
Let go, give in, succumb
Hail that emptiness
The things that you let in
- A Tomb Of Seasoned Dye
Your emptiness overwhelms me
Thrusts and overtakes me
This shrine of black tears
Within a vault of black prayers
The universe caves in, I’m on fire
Let the end begin, take courage!
And when nothing remains
- Black Moth
Here we are under the stars
Empty as dead brothers in arms
Through straw and mud the clay and blood
The law of the claw the claw of god
Awaiting the sun that herald of fire
Trenches deep deep in the mire
Never leave without honour within
Brothers in arms take care of your kin
- Camouflage
Beautiful and still is the night
Camouflage coated draped in black and grey
Oh these chants will come full circle
Under this my bloodlit moon
A procession of stars across a northern sky
The snow is as cold as it comes
With stealth we charge we brave
Embrace our faith and purge empty days
- Hail Hail Hail
As from a dream I woke
Saw a blackflamed sun
A black speared sun
Shining on everyone
Hail hail hail these runes they will prevail
Hail hail hail if nothing else
- Hold My Hand
Oh my love, do you see what I see?
A world gone down in misery
Empty souls, friend turned foe
Emptiness is rock 'n' roll
Oh my love, do you see what I see?
Empty lives hailed on TV
My heart is heavy, my thoughts are numb
I feel like my last day has surely come
- Hollow Upon Hollow
Watch the pyres rise
Watch the fire burn
Hollow upon hollow
What empty hearts
This world produce
Hollow upon hollow
Here comes the bloodwind...
- I Saw Her Through The Pines
A MAIDEN THROUGH THE PINES
AWAY, AWAY SHE RAN
AND SAW HERSELF LAID OUT
UPON THE MOSS AND STONE
THEY WANT TO HOLD HER HAND
THEY WANT TO REACH INSIDE
SO DEEP INSIDE DEEP INSIDE
I SAW HER THROUGH THE PINES
- I Shall Feast
In the heart of the night
The shadows in the heart
When friendship grows thin
Are you without dreams within?
Tonight I drew my blood for you
Behold the sorrow and the moon
Darkness will consume ever yone of you
Terror and dishonour will see you through
- Immer Vorwarts
So it ends as it began
With a sigh goodbye
Down in the mire
Underneath love's ugly pyre
And I miss you and I miss you
Always in my heart
- In A Robe Of Fire
Oath in blood and fire - in silver snow
An angel's crimson wings - in moonlit glow
This is the one - my black flamed sun
The honor and the code - of night abode
In a robe of fire - so arcane
My black flamed sun - my six fold flame
- In the Colours of Night
Black gleans the eye
And the fire gold
In the colours of the night
You shall wander
You shall wonder
Shadows of this token
Sadness of this moon
- Let It Be Ever Thus
Vast grey and crimson claw - snowblind and perplexed
Alone in that moonlight - so close to dreams
Beneath a moon - and gods above
But there beyond - coiled and armed
It´s the lion and the sun - the serpent and the wand
The night shall cover all - let it be ever thus
It´s the lion and the sun - the certain and the one
- Like Wolves
Like wolves we plunge into the night
Pure at heart purest will
Raising fires one with self
And for a while things doesn't seem
Dishonest and empty
And however this world may be
Be on guard take good heed
And choose carefully
- Lost In Emptiness
Lost in emptiness - the serpent's in the heart
Rivers red and deep - to throw me into sleep
Advent of loneliness - to fall into autumn's womb
A cold and vile embrace - as winter leaves her pain
The devil sings along
Winds will gain and gain
The devil sings so long
- Lucifer
Lucifer walk with me
Lucifer inflame this heart
Lucifer embrace this soul
For I am fallen just like you
I gave in
To lifes bitter promises
Yes I gave in
- Megin Runar
I find my flowers on paths astray
Megin runar on paths well hid and torch lit
So rise snakes of the golden secret gleam
Thou phantoms of the midnight
The darkness sway for my eyes like a moth - a moth
Mysteries subtle and secret - to dim to touch
- Midnight Garden
MIDNIGHT GARDEN (Sample)
LINGER IN MY SHADOW!
IVY ROSES ENTWINE AROUND OUR FEET
THIS MIDNIGHT GARDEN
WHERE COVERT ANGELS COME TO WEEP
AGES COME AND GO
- Midnight Will
Night has come to tuck you in - arm your self within
Honour the gleam - of our midnight will
All it´s glory - all it´s hell
Brace your self
What do you seek?
I still wander
I still wonder
- My Black Faith
You weakened and tore my heart
You ripped and purged my soul
You invoked this night without a care
Initiated the end of love
All light bends into a hole
Of utter nothing
A hopelessness I can not comprehend
Veils and thrusts and burns and tears
- My Devotion Will Never Fade
I will keep my heart from you
To keep you safe
I shall burn in this hell
In a fire made for you
I will wipe every tear
Of your frozen heart
My devotion will never fade
I'll honor you every night
- Nighttime in Sonnenheim
Pour the mead it's time to feast
It's nighttime in Sonnenheim
In the brightness of stars in the might of night
It's nighttime in Sonnenheim
A toast to friends and here's to kin
A toast to good company as day grows dim
Times to come and times that have been
Here's to the powers and strength within
- Nihil sum
NOW THAT THE BLACKBIRD TOOK MY EYES
I CAN´T SEE
I AM NO ONE
I AM NO ONE
I AM NO ONE
AND AS I FLY INTO THE WINTER NIGHT
I'M ALONE THERE IS NO NEED FOR SIGHT
THE HEAVENS ARE MY GUIDE
- O Deep Woods
I SHALL CROWN THOSE WHOM I HAVE LOVED
AS A FLAME DEVOURS THE MOTH
O WILD AND SWEET
AS BRIGHT WOOD'S BLOOD
O WILD AND SWEET
AS BRIGHT WOOD'S BLOOD
O TWILIGHT STARS EACH ONE AS FAIR
FEARFUL AND DEAR AS BREATH THAT WANES
- Raven Chant
...In the silence true consecration comes...
In this silence there shall be a raven chant
And in the chant - all solace
And in this solace true consecration comes
Come on night
Come on moon
Come on winter
- She with Whom Compar'd the Alpes Are Vallies
I wish to fire the trees af all these forrest
I give the Sunne a last farewell each evening
I curse the fidling finders out of Musicke
With envie i doo hate the loftie mountains
And with despite despise the humble vallies
I doo detest night, evening, day, and morning
For she, whose parts maintainde a perfect musique
- Shine Black Algiz
SHINE BLACK ALGIZ
MY HEART LIES IN THE WOODS
HEAD BURIED IN HANDS
PATH GILDED IN FOG
SHINE BLACK ALGIZ
MY NAME ENTWINED IN ONE
ROOTS DUG DEEP IN THE SNOW
AND ARMS REACHING FOR THE SUN
- Silver Rain
Blackened days and silver nights
Golden lanterns flaming lights
The blur of things and fight of dreams
The pain and tears and lack of faith
A thousand stars a thousand stars
Chants and runes and secrecy
I came as the lamb and return as the lion
Tonight it burns and burn it will
- Summer Solstice
Summer solstice your hand in mine
Summer solstice so divine
A pledge to keep to sun above
A pledge to you my love
Summer solstice glorious and golden
Summer solstice fertile and gilden
A homage to life in all it's bloom
- Sunspot
Absence makes the heart grow colder
Tear you apart pulls you under
And love makes the heart grow fonder
Lift you up
Only to rip you asunder
Look at me
Look at me
We're falling
- Tear It Apart
There’s something out of place
Out of time, out of grace
Something breached, something broke
Are you cold now? You’re cold now
Break it apart, tear it apart
There’s something wrong with your heart
Tear it apart, break it apart
- The Lone Descent
This constant hum
Ringing out from empty halls
Can you hear me through the rubble, my love?
The bleakest shroud
A coffin well laid
Anointed by our weakness, my love
Embalmed with vacant tears, my love
- Time Time Time
So I draw my secrets - a flame so sweet
And I loose my breath - in those crystal eyes
How time flies - and how things turn
A change of winds - a stroke of wings
And a pain so grave - only god can touch
- VargQld

- Watch The Skyline Catch Fire
Words ring hollow
Clouds draw in
Discouraged
Spring rides on
Embrace the solitude
The fruit of life
Sorrow deep
Impenetrable
- Winter Solstice
Blood winter feast a solstice pledge
Lean on the blade lean on death
I'll rip all your angels all apart
This winter no love no heart
This endless plunge towards the end
I'll smile as you fall as night descends
Blood and Algiz above
- Winter Veil
Winter Veil
as I lie here in this dark
thoughts so black black and numb
lonely dreams entwine my heart
dreams so undefined
and a tear for an end
an end so final
- Wintry Mantle
Your name I spoke many times
Alone in the darkness in the night
And prayed a thousand prayers
And my many dreams where of you
I walked the endless lonely miles
I stumbled path upon path
I watched time slip away
I watched and didn`t care
- Wonderful Wonderful Sun
Wonderful wonderful sun
Turn doubt into dust
Wonderful wonderful sun
Your colours so like blood
And from the essence
Into the heart
And the question of will
