The Atavistic Forest ©
From the ancient stones I walk through the shadows
Orchestrations of life deemed a separate path
With my hands I embrace the circle of life
Caressed by spirits once through death
Haunting silence dwells upon this starlit forest
Creatures from the dark soon bare witness to the sun
Condemn those without my whisper by their side
Release my mind from echoes of madness
This cold layer of ice shall never thaw
My dark embrace will never die
The hourglass of time follows us through the stars
The howling winds of old carried through the misty trees
My eyes behold no sign of life
Staring down to darkness
Dreams besiege the fallen star among the dead
We are reclaiming this land
For the transcending matter
No more relinquishing worlds
Calling us to our home
Fallen stone
Take my throne
I am the past
I am the future
Lost in my chambers
Now treading behind
Falling back to shadows
Where no light survives
Drifting realms beneath my surface
Their seeds conceal an open ocean
The river's mouth silently opens
Revealing the atavistic forest
My hands placed against the fountain
Endorsing darkness to cast the light away
Soil from the ground is dying
No tree shall grow again
The sound of snowfall
Forevermore
The hourglass of time drifts away in the night
The burning touch of ice
Frozen
All the life
Rising roots to the sky
Beyond the frozen lakes
Within the fading woods of the atavistic forest
Beneath my trees
Atop my lifeless soil
Silence
I bow to you

Through The Hollow Ravens Eyes ©
Forward till dawn the fire will spread
Consuming the Earth from the grail of matter.
Drain the oceans
depleting the life.
There is no escape from the eye.
Oh the silence calls
to return the wrath of the dark crimson sky.
Wailing cries from the fountain,
Blaring from the mountainside.
Oh how the trees have died,
From the final call to arms.
I hold the ancient stone,
Calling forth the echoes of time.
Test the conjuring light,
Through The Hollow Ravens Eyes.
Lifeless formations frozen in the natural world,
These haunting visions of Hell.
Emerging from the depths of the earth
To return the sorrow
and hatred by man.
The sorrow.
And hatred.
Oh the paralyzing existence.
Illusions of faith summoned by the dead.
Reborn of the ancient sun
Within the endless stars.
To discover the hidden universe
Created by the void.
Conceive the secret path within,
There is no higher.
For the hearths fire defined,
Engulfed by the morning light.
Silent across the snow
Fallen trees of old.
Haunted starlit skies
Echoing further into the night.
Deceived by lies.
The Great cluster of stars
Forever calling
Beyond this natural world
There is no sacred place.
Rebirth from the lifeless soil
Follow the sorrow
To construct the incomplete pattern
Among the fallen stars.
Cast away the silent dream
There is no reality in my own life.
What once belonged to us
Now drifts eternally.
Awakened fire across the sky.
For one thousand years may pass,
My mind forever still across time.
I hold the sorrow in my heart.
Lifeless formations frozen in the natural world
These haunting visions of hell.
Emerging from the depths of the earth
To return the sorrow and hatred by man.
I hold the fire of the ancient stone.
Cast afar from my own home.
And with this power I see the life,
Only through the Hollow ravens eyes.

Eternal Oceans ©
Part. I
Ice forms beneath the stars
Blind reflections clear
Forsaken lands under the moon dying
Howl from the wolf soon to be silent
With no air to inhale
Requesting to lay dormant
Beyond the ever fading light
Follow us through the stars
With our sorrow
Drowning us far below
Beyond the light
In the darkness I fall
With no ending
Tearing out from the stars
Into eternal oceans
Forever to wander
I feel its presence like never before
The sorrowing ocean rains down around me
Tearing out from the stars
Along the cosmic sea
One by one
The branches fell
Calling forth
The observer of life
In the ancient kingdoms
Where the souls lay void by fire
Cosmic entities of yore shall rise once again
Part. II
Awakened from the darkened spell alone
Beyond the pillars of creation
Not far to follow our way back home
Into its infinite hourglass
Where no life may tread
Raining down
As the blind
Reaching out
For the light
Bending time
To our mind
Rising sun
Will guide us home
Ride the clouds
Born to the ancient structure
Deep within the lands of fading time
Nothing but silence to draw
United
we fall
Through the veil of memory
Still forever fading away
Follow the storm to the edge of the world
Beyond the frozen coastline
Open doors to endless systems
Along the shadows wall
Come
And see
Where the old forest used to be
Go
And fade
So far away
Follow us through the stars
without sorrow
Drowning us far below
Beyond the light
In the darkness I fall
with no ending
Tearing out from the stars
Into eternal oceans
Tearing out from the stars
Forever fading away
Cosmic entities of yore fading away

Dawn Of The Frozen Age ©
Come and feel the light
Burn of a million stars
Die in fallen snow
Always fading
So far away
call from the edge of the world
Fall where the ice lay bare
Run away from the cold
Fight
And I will stay
As the land shimmers from the silence
Her heart frozen from the snowfall
From the trees to the ground lay daunted
What lies beneath may never rise
Reken thy presence through the dominion of life
Casting down those who dwell beneath your frigid power
Fjosa
Forever silenced by the snow and darkened by the night
Through the rivers and the mountains
comes the Dawn Of The Frozen Age
And the pale force of winter
Carries me far away
Bound by ice I fall to my knees
Cold winds of winter beyond
I feel my life fading away
To forever haunt this eternal plane
I feel
Nothing
but darkness
around me
Ignite the fire upon a fallen star
To guide my way through the night
I know where I must go to bring back memories of home
And I know where to follow this white star home
Through the rivers and the mountains
Comes the Dawn Of The Frozen Age
This pale force of winter
Leaves us all behind
Bound by ice we fall to our knees
Cold breaths of winter remain
We feel our lives fading away
To forever endure this mournful place
Once more from the dawn its sorrow will spread
Throughout the gateways of time

The Forbidden One ©
Oh Forbidden is the one who dwells beneath my hollow memory.
I see you (from the fading sorrow)
Called from the sacred prophecy,
Your light fading away from the stars.
Summoned by the voices,
within my mind.
Shattered from the broken dream.
Oh my forbidden one,
how you call my name.
Frozen in time.
Your burning artistry,
Shall forever mark this destiny.
Known how the mystery came to be.
Oh Why your presence came to me.
Crawling back to shadow,
Where no light survives.
Walking in the night,
Familiar sorrow,
I’ll take you far away,
To the land of ice and snow.
Follow me into the moonlight.
I’ll hold your bare frozen sight.
Forever bound to me.
Till death do us part, eternally.
No longer do I have to wait.
The essence of the future.
Seals our eternal fate.
Awakened by your fire, upon my own misery.
Embraced by your presence, for all eternity.
Devotion is what we’ll find,
Forbidden from you, left me blind.
Constricting dreams held within.
For the thoughts of you,
will embark my sin.
Touched by your vast vitality,
entombed in forsaken disbelief
I feared would never be.
Beneath the consciousness
Lies a path of tranquility.
At last my eyes are open,
To embark our endless journey.
Growing in the shadows of insanity,
I found you in the darkness.
Now within my reach
your essence of the seas
come forth and call to me.
Summoned by the voices within my mind.
Shattered from the broken dream.
Oh my forbidden one,
how you call my name.
Frozen in time.
Our burning ecstasy.
Shall forever lock our destiny.

The Winter Way ©
For so long have I become so cold.
So cold far down below the icy fields of snow.
Silence follows me through the night.
When the ice beneath my feet breaks away.
Will I go with you now.
To forever walk your path of snow.
You are the starlight.
The everlasting memory.
And will I follow you.
In darkness, to our destiny.
As I lay awake,
I feel your presence near.
And if I am to fade tonight,
having you brings me no fear.
When we close our eyes.
Nothing’s left behind.
Now I’ve come for you.
And your cold winds pass through my mind.
Crawling through the snow.
From the other side.
Take my hand.
And show me the silence forevermore.
Close your eyes.
Feel the burnings winds of the skies.
Tomorrow will we find our new home.
Somewhere, anywhere.
I follow you forever in the night.
Far away by The Winter Way.
Cold is the burning snowfall around me.
In this forest there is but one tree.
Never to let me go.
Here we lay.
I shall stay with you.
And if yet I dream,
I won’t want to wake up.
Now that you are here.
Bringer of the light.
Once so far away in the night.
Soaring through the trees,
Roaring from the sky,
You are the essence that I cry.
Call upon your snow.
Heir of time.
Travel in this natural paradigm.
Open your eyes.
I am here to stay.
Will we walk The Winter Way.
