Dark Covenant
Album • 2011
This track is instrumental.
Dark shadows fall As the wind blows upon Towering monuments Of broken memories And I am left alone To wander in what once was Splendour in my mortal eyes This life I used to call divine Where are they now The truths I took for granted The light of a thousand suns Now only dust remains Will you now reach for me? Dark endless eternity Take me away from this life Into a new beginning I call upon the lords of time To break the bonds of false eternity This place of black illusion I must escape I am not a child of this reality Dark shadows fall As the wind blows upon Towering monuments Of broken memories Will you now reach for me? Dark endless eternity Take me away from this life Into a new beginning I call upon the lords of time To break the bonds of false eternity This place of black illusion I must escape I am not a child of this reality

Oh faithless shadow, pale reflection of life How you lurk about seeking for yourself Breathing yet weeping, seemingly existing A soulless form of all its warmth bereft I gazed in the greyish mirror, and beheld nothingness While growing inside, I felt its cold embrace Come to me, woe undreamed of Guide my soul to your shores Visions of salvation I can’t recall I ever was, no matter, so futile Now that I passed away in the fading light My eyes open wide I wept, yet could not see beyond What was I to find in the darkness before me? Oh faithless shadow, pale reflection of life How you lurk about seeking for yourself Come to me, woe undreamed of Guide my soul to your shores

In the sunless fields of twilight dreams The wings of unreality unfold And though my eyes stare into what seems to be There’s nothing there but the shadow of hope And again I fall into the darkness The only truth I’ve ever known Forever denied to me the blessing of light I curse the remnants of this life Shadows of light rip through my mind Tearing within my soul to fly Won’t I open my eyes and die? Oh please, let me die, Oh please let me die Here after I hear the wind calling Like echoes of a vision forlorn My name sung over and over again Broken into laughter as I reach out Why was I left to un-rest in this dark place? When all I ever wished for was to end it all The icy embrace of the blade upon my flesh My last communion with this god forsaken world And again I fall into the darkness The only truth I’ve ever known Forever denied to me the blessing of light I curse the remnants of this life Bring upon this fallen world the wrath of centuries gone A plague upon all humankind for none deserve the light of dawn Here my lament from beyond, my silent song, my spell of hate The angels have forsaken me; my only heaven is my grave I curse this god and all its kind, those sheep on their knees for all time As a wolf I have lived and died and for this I am damned to lie Endlessly slumbering in the dark, forgotten by both life and death Is this the price I am to pay for refusing to kneel and obey?

Fall down from the sky Feathers black like the rain, no hope The sun fell behind the curtain of a greyish dusk As autumn leaves dance in the wind The last chime of our world echoes in nothingness Who but the ravens are left to care for us? Fall down from the sky feathers black like the rain No hope is there for us to gain I see a black raven fly away Carrying our hopes and our dreams Fly into the storm of mankind’s doom

As veils of bereavement unfold before my eyes open wide I’m looking back into my past searching for the reason why When the dawn’s first light graced my eyes tears of sorrow fell down from the sky I rose to wash my hands in streams of ever flowing purity With sadness I reached for the heavens knowing that I will never die I yearn to bleed like all men do and lay down to never ending sleep Who am I if not a shadow, a soulless wraith in flesh disguised? Neither sun nor moon to mourn me only perennial solitude Sing for me winds of memory Sing for me winds of memory Why was I cursed thus? To exist only in the twilight of dreams What sins brought me here where despair whisper my name In the lifeless realm of endless pain As veils of bereavement unfold before my eyes open wide I’m looking back into my past searching for the reason why Who am I if not a shadow, a soulless wraith in flesh disguised? Neither sun nor moon to mourn me only perennial solitude

I walk alone, a path unknown Far from the ravage of humanity I see the sign, in the shadow of ravens black The flaming sword of our destiny What will become, when all is done Of all those who have not yet began to see The moon is gone, devoured as the sun The great wolf of chaos is now roaming free I see a black sun rising As the sky turns red as blood In a storm of flame burns our fate I see a black sun rising And all will be laid to waste For a new dawn will bring new hope Look at you now, how you crawl about Searching for the solace of your society I loathe the likes of you; you will find no tears from me When the great pillar of the world fall I will be free I see a black sun rising As the sky turns red as blood In a storm of flame burns our fate I see a black sun rising And all will be laid to waste For a new dawn will bring new hope

With the tide they came, men with cross and steel And gospel of a faith unknown Sailed across the seas to bring us the light For our heathen souls are surely damned Gather ‘round all folk of the land to hear The words of the one true god in the sky Let there be no doubts, He’s the only One And none other than his name shall be praised Bow to your knees, embrace your lord He that will judge your immortal soul Bow to your knees, renounce your ways Choose now your fate, death or salvation They burned our wood temples and sacred hearths In the name of the love of their true god Speaking of brotherhood our warriors have been put to the sword The souls of our children they’ve enslaved High in the northern sky the ravens fly Witness to the tragedy before their eyes Treacherous, deceitful is their heart black with hate The men with cross and steel for death they came The cold wind will know how proud we once were When our hearts burned with heathen pride Our gods and our blood through time will be remembered And the broken sword shall be re-forged Bow to your knees, embrace your lord He that will judge your immortal soul Bow to your knees, renounce your ways Choose now your fate, death or salvation
