Dark Forest
Album • 2016
Light in the forest fading In the hour when worlds intertwine To walk on the road less travelled To be caught in time Following astral shadows Chasing dreams of a world yet unknown Neath the gathering cloak of darkness Do not fear to loose your soul Is there a shimmer through the trees A flicker dancing on the fallen leaves And as the silence fills the eve We linger in the violet gleam Searching for a distant childhood dream And as the veil that clouds our sight Falls away, our dreams were right Oh we're on the edge of twilight Out of the silent woodland There's a melody faint in the glades Echoing in the stillness An ethereal strain Journeying on through twilight Journey on through the deepening haze With the gathering sense of wonder We await the end of day It appears that all is not what it seems What are these forms coming into being And as the silence fills the eve We linger in the violet gleam Searching for a distant childhood dream And as the veil that clouds our sight Falls away, our dreams were right Oh we're on the edge of twilight

there was a time saw a greener land When laughter echoed in the glades When tyrants lived in fear of righteous Within the greenwood freedom reigned Those days are gone Where now is the courage that shone Are we still one The tyrants came But we are no longer the same Our land has fallen Now a voice is calling As a whisper from the grave Now a voice is roaring Hear his cry! Remember the arcing boughs of green This land shall be free! Now fight, for I'm always with you Fight with a heart of joy O' my spirit will be forever more At the place where the arrow falls The tyrants once again will fear our name We stand defiant, unafraid Nothing's forgotten or will ever be An outlaws blood flows in our veins The hunting horn Shall sound in the forest once more We are reborn Within the glades A guardian spirit remains We hear his calling Remember the arcing boughs of green This land shall be free! Now fight, for I'm always with you Fight with a heart of joy O' my spirit will be forever more At the place where the arrow falls

Falling silently beneath vermilion canopies As far as the eye can see, a burning rain No words are spoken, the veil has now been broken And darkness has woken the mother moon Then o'er the night she will cast her silver light While flames leap higher look to the woods! Our Mabon fires Praise, Autumn's crown, Our songs will resound The light of dawn is gathering, a golden mist surrounds The crown of Autumn descends in golden flames An end to Summer's reign The crown of Autumn, the power of light and darkness found In Autumn's golden crown With morning glistering we hear the wayfarers whistling And old oaks are listening to every sound Returning to slumber, the nights of endless wonder Will lie buried under a frozen gown For now rejoice! Hear the joy in every voice We praise the old, do not heed the raging cold! Dreams will be born before the light of dawn O' the mist is settling, surrounding us once more The crown of Autumn descends in golden flames An end to Summer's reign The crown of Autumn, the power of light and darkness found In Autumn's golden crown Praise, Autumn's crown, Our songs will resound The light of dawn is gathering, a golden mist surrounds The crown of Autumn descends in golden flames An end to Summer's reign The crown of Autumn, the power of light and darkness found In Autumn's golden crown

The winding way 'Neath skies of tumbling grey Through misty fields I walk alone A sign of May Defies the darkening day There's a blackthorn blooming amidst the gold This wreckless age wont last forever And the dance of life, it never ends Beneath the blossom As twilight forms Who guard the blackthorn While empires fall The endless wheel Another baneful cycle revealed What senseless ruin will this dark age bring Yet in this fields All fear of loss I will yield To the blackthorn, spirit of the dawning Spring This wreckless age wont last forever And the dance of life, it never ends Beneath the blossom As twilight forms Who guard the blackthorn

Hark! Do you hear on the thunder They cry of the Unseelie Court Don't look to the skies Lest your earthly demise shall be wrought Black is the vaporous mantle Of the riders that come on the storm The veil is torn open The night bears their ethereal forms Hasten! For the host is upon us! I care not for loosing my soul A traveller on the road Will be taken for to join in their fold Blinded by sweat and the fury Of the run as it falls to the ground I swear, as we ride, I can feel that the host's all around I feel them near me I see them come into being I pray for protection Please guide me from darkness to light Bound to their unholy ventures This terrible night bist their own Must quicken the peace Or the host we will face all alone lo! look towards the horizon To the manor where refuge doth lie By the grace of our lord We will reach the old ford and survive

Memories, they are fading like the passing of a shadow Searching in the darkness for the fragments of a dream A lifetime, now forgotten, I am left with only sorrow Waiting for salvation, will it ever come to be Residual energy In this place I have dwelt for so long Earthbound, paradise is lost for me Earthbound I am trapped eternally Through the darkness I now roam Just a shadow searching for my way home Burdened by injustice, I have held on to my sorrow Life was taken from me, I was not ready to die I know now that acceptance and forgiveness is the answer I lay down my sword and relinquish my pride Transcending the aether Now the darkness is melting away Earthbound, paradise is lost for me Earthbound I am trapped eternally Through the darkness I now roam Just a shadow searching for my way home Somewhere a distant voice is calling Lead me on to the other side I'll walk beyond the misty morning And Leave the earthly world behind Celestial harmony As the light of the sun hits my eyes Earthbound, paradise approaches me Earthbound I am found, forever free Through the sunlight I now roam Child of love finally found his way home Earthbound, paradise approaches me Earthbound I am found, forever free Through the darkness I now roam Just a shadow searching for my way home

Here in the firelight's ruddy glow As night surrounds I wait for morning's light to show I will stay strong, I will be pure Though laughing tears my heart asunder, lady fair Flowing river wash my fears away Mighty mountain be my strength this day Though the vision of the life I yearned Took me far away, I will return I hearken to my inner voice Now crystal clear I fight against myself but know I'll see her face, I'll hear her voice Calling my name, as clear as the sunlit fall of rain Flowing river wash my fears away Mighty mountain be my strength this day Though the vision of the life I yearned Took me far away, I will return No matter how our story ends I'll guard the flame, to burn forever in our name Flowing river wash my fears away Mighty mountain be my strength this day Though the vision of the life I yearned Took me far away, I will return

All in a dream In worlds between The golden sun and starlight Fair maids unseen Dance through the green So full of joy and so bright The gift of life in their hands They are pulling in the sun Transmuting power all as one From the mind eternal On seas of will, life will sail From the Casual realm Into Astral and through the Veil Imparting thought And vital force They dance for all creation As life takes form Sweet maidens, all Rejoice in exaltation They are elemental force Weavers of the cosmic loom With nature's course, they are attuned From the mind eternal On seas of will, life will sail From the Casual realm Into Astral and through the Veil Flowing through From beyond Beyond the Veil From the mind eternal On seas of will, life will sail From the Casual realm Into Astral and through the Veil

Sing to me a story of long ago Oh sing a tale of glory, a tale of woe Sing to me of secrets, whispered through time Sing to me from the lore of the land Bring good company to share in the tales Oh bring in barley wine, a drop of good ale We light a fire to vanquish the dark and cold As we sing from the lore of the land The legend were told and in memory were cast Whispers and secrets from England's dark past From mother to daughter from father to son The stories were handed and still they live on They speak to us now from the deep mists of time Stirring our blood and unlocking our minds The wisdom of ancients, occult and arcane The voice of our forefathers sounding again Oh! We're falling away, carried to worlds far beyond We're lost in the tales and held fast by the song To truly believe and to know what was meant Occult understanding from perfect intent To look within tales and to see ones own self Reflecting the journey of mankind itself Oh! We're falling away, carried to worlds far beyond We're lost in the tales and held fast by the song Down from the desolate highlands to the fortresses of the South seas All across from East Anglian fenlands to the mists swirling in the valleys Can you feel all the mystery and wonder That so many do not understand If we treasure our past then these legends will last We are blessed with the lore of the land Silent sentinels align the stars Archetypal journeys reveal who we are Known in times before and times that will come Shining heroes rise and fall with the sun Beneath the trees, a feeling The forest may hold a thousand tales Just a dream or maybe A vision of worlds beyond the veil How they deny that feeling Bury the past and loose the sight We see a deeper meaning Our vision is clear, our souls take flight! Down from the desolate highlands to the fortresses of the South seas All across from East Anglian fenlands to the mists swirling in the valleys Can you feel all the mystery and wonder That so many do not understand If we treasure our past then these legends will last We are blessed with the lore of the land Silent sentinels align the stars Archetypal journeys reveal who we are Known in times before and times that will come Shining heroes rise and fall with the sun We can know Take my hand Into the past we go!
