The Ferocious Tides of Fate

Heed the burning beckoning call Sever those disgustful lies that bind Come let your craving guide you to your kind Let rapture and depravity lift you high Into sin! Feel the song of whips The cold chains of liberty Freedom on your knees Perversion they could not believe Be all that you have dreamt of Beneath the sign of the rose Yield to me delightful Embrace the endless dark I am chains You are lace We are skin Gods of the radiant kind I am pain I am comfort I’m ecstasy Sworn to the silence we are complete Let dark temptation guide you to our kind Let hunger and your bravery lift you high Perfectly flawed! In this our luxoria Elegance and wickedness The sting and flesh Pure artistry All our flaws shine perfectly Beyond the pale mundane The oath of silence keep your secret safe As you kneel delighted To us the proud benighted few I am chains You are lace And we are skin Gods of the radiant kind I am pain I am comfort I’m ecstasy Sworn to the silence we are complete The devastation Of innocence and lies The annihilation Of borders and fear Sweet salvation Mortals made gods Pure perversion We rise as one In flames Sworn to silence celebrating trust Worshipping our lust Be all that you’ve dreamt of Beneath the sign of the rose Yield to me delightful embrace the endless dark I am chains You are lace And we are skin Gods of the radiant kind I am pain I am comfort I’m ecstasy Sworn to silence we are complete

Words from Hávamál, Poetic Edda I know that I hung on a windy tree nine long nights wounded with a spear dedicated to Oden myself to myself on that tree of which no man knows from where its roots run...

Be it storm or scorching sun Be it rain or snow I stand tall Be it peace or raging wars Be it drought or flood I stand tall I am the world I’m the eternal Fraxinus Excelsior I tower unbreakable Fraxinus Excelsior I stand fast unshakable My roots burrow deep I stood when time began I reach the realm of men I stand forever past the end I reach the abode of gods I am the sky and land I touch the condemned I obliterate and I amend Without me nothing I am the beginning and end Without me nothing I am the answer to any question Fraxinus Excelsior I hold the sky and the stars Fraxinus Excelsior I am the blood soaked earth My roots burrow deep I stood when time began I reach the realm of men I stand forever past the end I reach the abode of gods I am the sky and land I touch the condemned I obliterate and I amend Mortal oaths have been sworn in my shade And none would last... Honour sold for gold kinsmen’ trust traded for glory and a song... I do mourn But never cry Unbreakable Without me nothing I am the beginning and end Without me nothing I am the answer to any question My roots burrow deep I stood when time began I reach the realm of men I stand forever past the end I reach the abode of gods I am the sky and land I touch the condemned I obliterate and I amend

As autumn comes Cold is her breath Of fire her colours Of frost is her embrace Silent are all angels As she’s striding by In her wake only snow Pure and dead she rise As the memory of summer stands aflame Gone the warmth of a better yesterday Facing the dawn, cold and alone Dim the stars that shine so distant Vain are we all, but no gods to judge us For mourning times of hope and lesser hurt Be it know that our kind will never die We take but one step back into the shadows As winter comes Frozen are her lips Of grey her colours Deadly her embrace Gone are all the angels As she’s drifting by In her wake but nothingness All still as she rise As the memory of summer stands aflame Gone the warmth of a better yesterday Facing the dawn, cold and alone Dim the stars that shine so distant Vain are we all, but whom to judge us For mourning times of hope and lesser hurt Be it know that our kind will never die We take but one step back into the shadows

Unloved the sun settles slowly Upon this my realm where all colours have fled Storms looming the bleak horizon Black thunder draws close as I fall I remember my blood aflame A feverish dream from which I fell asleep I could hear how the mountains sing So evident and true, of balance and symmetry My ashen skin falls like snow Searing the flames of a truth so pure Bare blood soaked feet Illusion fades and enchantment takes its place Rise to awake from slumber Aflame like an evening sky Evolved, at one with all Now I see what was always so obscure Never there shall be one, to whom I bow From the slumber revived Awakening dawn, opening eyes A world clear, blooming as spring Evident and lustrous, bursting with life All past lies are cleansed Only tomorrow and now still remain Walking along the colonnades Under the sun New gods come alive I was awake , But within a dream I was aware but only of shadows’ play I am reborn, I am renewed I am the purest seed of vision Walking along the colonnades As if for the first time, I face the sun From the slumber revived Awakening dawn, opening eyes A world clear, blooming as spring Evident and lustrous, bursting with life All past lies are cleansed Only tomorrow and now still remain Walking along the colonnades Under the sun, New gods come alive Footsteps dark and old, giants walked before me Statues of perfection, monuments of inspiration, to me Never there shall be one, to whom I bow From the slumber revived Awakening dawn, opening eyes A world clear, blooming as spring Evident and lustrous, bursting with life All past lies are cleansed Only tomorrow and now still remain Walking along the colonnades Under the sun New gods come alive

Your past now stands aflame Grey ruins line your empty roads Barren dusty soils The dead now claim these lands I come with the setting sun One of hope come undone I am the one of shadows domain Time pass yet I remain I am near as life stands ablaze The ashes you claim to be memories Dust of what used to be A vision only you can seek I’m the dark in your lingering thought The storm that will sweep your dreams away I’m the one that will make you see I am the loss, I am the key I am eternal I am close I’m infernal I am all ghosts Of all choices wrongly made Of all hurt ever inflicted The loss I shall open your eyes I am the heart of all smitten lovers A creature of all pain they felt A shadow of all those betrayed The ghastly beast, your past One of hope come undone Time pass yet I remain I am near as life stands ablaze The ashes you claim to be memories Dust of what used to be A vision only you can seek I’m the dark in your lingering thought The storm that will sweep your dreams away I’m the one that will make you see I am the loss, I am the key I am the rider of the setting sun The past
