Lost in the Ryhope Wood

I’ve become a tree, giving birth to birds I’ve burned out and turned - turned to ash and dust I became one with the bones of wolves and owls I became one with the forest fruits I’m an ancient being, the origin of life Ressurection is what I found in the heart of Lavondyss I’m a child that carved out masks of wood Discovered hollowing and felt the cold and fume I’m an old woman that passed away in peace I’m a child that heard his brother cry Who lost his sister in the old woman And fire’s still burning in the Land of the bird’s spirit I am the lover of a hunter and a man Shaman with the gift of seeing the unseen

Travelling through the underworld Deep under the roots of Ryhope trees Along with creatures of ancient times My curiosity’s changing your destiny I’m half human, I’m half Mythago Tree sap’s bleeding out of my veins Gonna let the green in me take control My body’s exhausted, time has no power here The space is warped and I’m fading out Need to find Yssobel soon Looking for the meaning of my life The time will come to decide if I’m human or Mythago I’m half human, I’m half Mythago Tree sap’s bleeding out of my veins Looking for the meaning of my life The time will come to decide if I’m human or Mythago

The coldness has blown, Tallis felt the flames She apart aside leaves to the other side She beheld a lying warrior The birds were gathering around Stone faces had to shelter him She had to stop all the birds Chorus: Shadows covered mountains, everything turned gray The rain smelt in the wind and in the air The dying one has called her name He kept a scrap of her shirt in his hands I failed to save your life!!! Don't leave me alone... Don't leave me alone!!! Tallis - the One so far away from home Her heart breaks and the love turns down Through cortex of the tree in crystal tears of her eyes And the fire cracks in the winter air under the twilight skies Her sorrow lament sounds Like the cry of morning birds Banned from that winter land From the Land of the Bird's Spirit The fire burns in the Land of the Bird's Spirit In the land where my love is lying dead The storm rages in the Land of the Bird's Spirit I will scatter ravens all around the Land I will tend over the tender earth In which my love is lying dead Dead !!! Lonely in death !!! The circle - Lavondyss It smokes out of my bones!

Rustling leaves, crack of twigs Tiny scars on a pale face And her skin trembling in cold Tears, mistrust - she doesn’t know Born from dreams and fantasies Still blurred, still hidden The forest gave birth to her soul I can feel her on the edge I can smell her sweat, I can feel her thrill Her naked body’s so cold, yet she burns with desire I can’t resist her charm I feel that fear, feel her worries Her naked body’s so cold, yet she burns with desire Now I understand my brother’s faith

The forest is within me, and I am in I'm the birds' singing above my head And the wind what sleeps In crowns of trees I've noticed her strange dance of a nakedness Just green ornaments Ornaments on her face Twinkling in the glare of a blaze "The nature adducted me in her lab, I'm her daughter Singing of the birds is my lullaby The rustling leaves of the trees, it's my heartbeat" I lie down face to the Earth I blur it on my body Just a dense rain drums against My skin in the rhythm of primeval I've seen that rituals My desires to touch her That nature in a human shape But she disappeared in the depth of the forest

The fire burns in the land of the bird's spirit The smoke flows of my bones, I have to go there... That childish hand discovered the masks in the wood Those bright eyes saw hooded figures, smashed - they streaked in shadows There places whispered their names And the summer breeze smelled with a winter Strong timbers absorbed her words And the answer was just a flutter Of winged beings up in the limbs Tallis - the sweetheart of the cripple Her warrior under "The strong against the storm" Stone talismans scared away all birds The Nature's laws, the love, the death and the knowing Mysterious beings, warriors in furs and bones of prophecy Endless search for the lost, lost brother Harry Long wandering to the place Place where the life ends and the lost could be found Could be found Lavondyss Lonely in death, the circle - Lavondyss
