Lays From Afar / Lupine Essence

In a time of forgotten realms and whilom truth Noble kings and valiant men In a land where shades lurked in the dark Where at night tales began to rouse It was the dawn of the thousand fires When he stepped into the night Swearing to face all dusmay To dare the ancient mights Enthralled by a flickering glint That allured him to follow To a place where the realms entwine A gate to the other side (adistant light) Faint singing called him to step inside His eyes strayed aloft Willing to go towards his fate A last look to the sky When he passed the gate For ever and ay (for a year and a day) A wanderer lost in nowhere Never found a place to dwell Withersoever he fared Twilight shapes begged him to stay But the glinting stars Drowned all leathe Restless he hied afar

Oh, How well I remember the day Encircled by trees I was Grabbing Boughs and whispering fays Forced to walk on their elfin pathways Until they led me to a fount at last I watched into the starlit water And the lights began to whirl around Weird eyes glared at me My mind sabk into the fount Dark it was there on the ground But bright and graceful was the light Of the dancing water sprites Mute voices sang their songs profound Tunes frail as their wavy guise Enswathed me like a silken shine A glance on the flight of time To distant realms and stars Low laid the land of mine And their everlasting scars In the deepest depth there was fire and source entwined In days of yore and before It burned and flowed in our mind With eyes on the wings of time I saw the flames increase The fount fell down into lethe And within the silken shine Again I heard the singing fays Through the mist of time There is no believe Frail is the Pathway of dreams For all is drowned in chants of lethe Aye, I will remember the day Encircled by Trees I was Grabbing Boughs and whispering fays Forced to walk on their elfin path ways Here I saw how the days would last

So the days went by And only the wind and the rain were my companions A lot of stones laid on my path to the palace of snow and the king of fire... Majestic hights with flaming banners So giantly the king seemed to be forever lost A chilling audience for a man of noone Kneel to the king and his endless melting throne Under his crown a million creatures crawled A twisted tongue for a gesture of kindness Each glimpse made them turn to stone Their eyes like snow long for blindness ...so long in blindness For there is no way to change their chosen lot No chain of steel could bind them more My well of might is your well of sorrow give me your sight and leave behind tomorrow My son, he said, it`s better to reign in hell (Live`s a path of sorrow) Than to serve in heaven Woe betide him and his bleak eyes Words of truth from a head full of lies So my quest took me onward to a brighter way I wouldn`t rest here for frozen tears nor melting fears

Sudden the morn came Slowly the curtain rose Awe shone in his eyes Another light was born to rove With pinions of sorrow On winds of despair The beast appeared Some say it would never go away With eyes of morrow On stars of guidance He faced all fright His way a neverending night So he defied the lively waves Betrayed himself And the restless hieing winds Strong is the blade of hatred The desire of our desperate hope The serpent of grief Feeds virtue to it`s sateless breed High aloft the dragon flies The falcon has gone astray So nigh but also far away A cry above - the wyvern dies Blind eyes have broken the oath So far away but also close The awaited even came Slowly the curtain fell Awe shone in his eyes Another light still yearns to dwell His eyes full of sorrow And wounds of despair Bled immortal dreams Whispering of days of yore The guise in the mirror No more stars to guide It`s the beast he feared Now he knew it would never go away So he defied the eternal rock Buried himself Into the everlasting flame Strong is the blade of hatred The desire of our desperate hope The serpant of grief Feeds virtue to it`s sateless breed High aloft the dragon flies The falcon has gone astray So nigh but also far away A cry above - the wyvern dies Blind eyes have broken the oath So far away but also close

Once, on another weary day of mine Just when the sun began to fondle mother earth On a hill I stood to behold this crimson embrace A stricken field to my feet (under bloody mist) Myriad hollow staring eyes Wrapped in red clouds The corvine goddess appeared Emptiness filled my mind Fervid thoughts crawled suddenly into me... Morrigan - three faced goddess dark and wild For thee I`ll raise my sword and shield Morrigan - grimest crow beneath the sky May the eyes of thousands please thy raging greed Come forth now grimest crow Thou cry shall shatter earth and sky ...Like a shrieking carnyce... In thy shadow I shall stand forevermore I send thee hail and eternal troth... Night descended and the stars within my eyes Cleared my mind and aflamed my heart I flee thy corvine ire Morrigan - three faced goddes dark and wild For thee they rose their swords and shields Morrigan - grimest crow beneath the sky May the eyes of thousands please thy raging greed - but not mine...

Tireless I faced my way The flames still burned To see the stars and dales My heart still yearned for Surrounded by bleakness Osseous trees seemen to Seize the silence A plain of ruins winds of dust tried to enshroud All Remembrance A doleful figure cowered At the heart of this wasted lands his bowed head a mere skull the yield of dust in his hands " I dwell beyond all fear and here in my liefeless claw shall grow your given seed the everlasting flaw " On the ground of his eyes I saw a child drowned in fear In the deep he beheld the airy play Of those who can fly while fear turned into hate Woe betide him and his tainted eyes Seeds of despair won`t grow with tears of dust So I left this wilted man and his vale of woe To Resume my own path of dole

The moon passed his realm oh many times Restless he hied to the caress of the sea Sylphlike lights in the dark with alluring voices So many stars I`ve never seen So I cursed each day And it`s joyful sneer And in nights of fear I saw their darksome shapes of light I hied with the wind Won`t ever dree my weard Endless width of splendour But my thoughts stood dear Strayed in nowhere Some inner tide Made me long afar To an aim beyond all sight (Is there no one to guide me) Through this endless maze Where are the stars and dales ? Where is my way home ? Oh where am I ? Strayed in nowhere... To and fro I went in my sleep But each step brought me closer to my last Standing stones glared at me with fathomless eyes Assuring me that I am lost Sylphlike lights in the dark with alluring voices So many stars I`ve never seen Each a one called me to rest Until I hear the banshees lonely caoine

Countless seemed to be the days Until his return Ceaseless semmed to be his way But still the thousand fires burn So he beheld one day His long - desired journeys end Still the singing called him to stay Oh, it was the place where it all began Strange eyes looked up As he stepped into the light All friends were gone ( he`s still alone ) Betrayed by the course of time ( He`s lost in time ) "From afar I come - in place ans in time I saw the strongholds of the old ones Once I sat here by a fire My heart in flames but now they`re waned and gone" Calm spread out it`s wings and his hoar voice Pierced the night and the light inside of them Deep were his words, the songs to sang And long his story to tell But each a word would be carved deep in their minds Now the alst words are said And slowly dawns a new day The guise of the wise fades away Aye, they should remind the words And the things they saw As a stranger sang for them his lays from afar

As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I There Armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by No pipe did hum, no battle drum did sound its dread tattoo But the Angelus Bell o'er the Liffey's swell rang out in the foggy dew

That is not dead which can eternal lie yet with strage aeons even death may lie (H.P. Lovecraft) I bewail my destiny a foible of mine but her voice tortures my mind I yearn for her bosom I fear her sway my eternal blemish is her embrace She whispers: chose a realm - these two are the preferred ones: Hell - where your soul reduces to ashes Heaven - where you'll be drowned

Another dry mornin' A summon song awakes The tribe of the dragon So desolate... He lurks on the hill with outstretched wings Watching for every false step The dragon tribe... Delusion of delight The little ones look up Dazed of the might The envy in their eyes See the all - mighty flight Grab a slice darkness When time is ripe The envy in their eyes See the all - mighty fight

Like the holy scripture said Satan fled from his prison He twisted the minds In the garment of the holy church Every fairy-tale has a wiff of truth Our scaffold is build on this I for one, a wife, the original sin sentenced me Depressed by a dogma, without a will In a land of cold, a princess of drearyness Flames are licking on my flesh, but I chill With their flesh so strong And a mind so weak A crusade for their god With a fond full of blood A silent enigma's still untouched The gleam inside fades more and more Don't fear the darkness, nor the scythe Then reason comes to fore Only darkness beared the light Incredulity bears the truth

I felt asleep, with the raising moon Found myself born anew All my grief and all my pain Turns into glee (in another dream) Low whispering voices say Everything is a dream So sheltering dreams keep me alive I try to leave, I try to hide Can't they hear my silent cry I cannot breathe in their light But a low voice whispers to me Nothing's as it seems to be

Woe... when fear is our bridle Lost in the claws of decay Oh, Tomorrow's a grinning skull That leads our way Sweet oblivion rocks us In a cradle of darkness Reel to the first tune In the crescendo of death Each delight becomes a jeering guilt Our mohters viscera sticks bleedin' in our throat So we grunt and we belch without any dread Prelude the eventide of the tellural breed Just like a desease Our race increase Just like a noctural dream We'll fade away one day Oh father tell me why The last flower died in my hands For castles in the air They burned down the ground And a hand full of dust For my life Hark! To our mothers scolding Discord is the harvest of greed Trust no pray into the emptiness Still havoc feasts ... on mankind

So long he is gone With a pale servile face His way led right through A cold bloody haze His yell pierced the cold frosty mornin' As he erased someone wicked with evil Chorus: So like millions before He died in his gore And those who survived Died in their minds But those who does not care Were dead before Who loves his sword Even loves war Four children he left behind With a mournin' mother All their dreams return nevermore This hope is lost - killed in war Bridge Chorus
