1. THE PATH OS STARS

Beneath the ground
Lies the fate to which we're bound
Let the fire cleanse all mistakes
Lit the effigy on the stake

Here is the chosmic archetype
The nexus between dimensions
Here is the entity
The one unbent by time

Here is the entropy

The archenemy of mankind
Like ties that bind
Shadows and light entwined
From the ashes of time

Aeons casted in the myriad of lights
A glimpse of eternity
Beyond the event horizon

Merging into the unknown
We walk the path of stars

These shivering trees
Speak of eras before man
The greatest silence on earth
Barren lands without paths
Moors untrodden windswept
By the death's breath

Sons
Of the silent void above
Tell me of the eternal quiet


2. ARBOREAL SANCTUARY

Winds and water
Carve and shape the snow
Revealing the work
Of mighty yet subtle hands

Aether
Flows in my lungs
A primal fire
Burns inside my heart
While hollow shades
Embrace limbs so frail
Compelled to sink
In perennial dark
We'll slowly fade
Leaving behind no mark

Without leaving any mark

With the storm in our hearts
We've fallen apart
We will face our death
With open arms

A groaning of despair
Slowly fades in silence
In a land
Dull and bare
There's no space for valiance

The sough
Of everchanting windswept trees
They whisper in my ears

Long lost
I wander
In no man's land
With the burden I withstand
I seek my answers


3. MIDWINTER RITUAL

In the land of surreal
Ruled by the gray nihil
Winter doors have unsealed
Here begins my ordeal

Eidolons of nether
Pale ghosts over centuries
A valley beyond dimensions and time

Flowing
In golden streams
Ichor of the ancestral gods above
Among the clouds and stars
A solitude never felt by man

Yule
All gathered in circle
Around the shining bonfire
As chants and mist arise
Ashes
All that was sacred to us
Scattered and lost

Nostalgic memories
Etched in the spirit
Forever and ever

We carried the millstone
Of a gruesome consciousness
Towards the austere altar of memories


4. SKYGAZER

Hail
From the darkest skies
Heir
Of the firstborn light
Awake my eyes
Grant me wisdom of the primal fire
'Cause I've never been so blind

Castaway
At the edge of universe
Floating on a stone
In the ocean of lights
Let the world be cold

Another step
Along my path
Driven only by my wrath

Arms in the night
Reaching towards the light

We are the bearer
Of shadows and darkness
Each night
We climb down the skies
While a thousand of torches arise
To delay the final demise

Life's but a candle
In a stormy night
The melted wax are the dead
We left behind


5. CIMMERIAN VEIL

Striving against the days
But they look all the same
Through the embrace of grays
All is vanquished and frail
In this barren vale

Everdying sun
Green lands turning dun

And days came and went
But the light
To dark was bent
And how futile is to repent
When god is just absent

Hope is first to die
In the eternal night

Eerie shades
Casted by skeletal trees
Branches barren of leaves

A mantle of impervious darkness
Untouched by no glimpse of light
Where all withering hopes shall die
Mowed down by the timeless scythe

Winter enshrouds me
With its cold embrace
The Sun has drowned
By darkness effaced

An eternal stillness
To be broken only by whispers
Of the wind and shores alone
Where the man is no more


6. CALL OF THE ANCIENTS

(Instrumental)


7. A LOST LINEAGE

I saw the eidolon
Soaring into the nightsky
I heard the blackbirds
With their dismal cry
Perching on the trees
In the black forest
Deep where the falling snow
Will never cease

I've buried my hopes in this pit

Earth and the sky
The rise and the fall
The reason of I
In the embrace of fire
The stars were dancing at their own desire

Among the ashes
An era is gone
With no witness left

The ancient oak has fallen
Her light is fading more each night
I remember those winter mornings

Sun rose
Above the lands
Pale as the skin of a ghost
As the cold maelstrom
Caressed like silk texture

And landscape was the canvas
On which snow had drawn
The portrait of melancholia

I've travelled so far
Only to find myself again
On the threshold of life
Contempling the fate of man

And stars
Were somberly
Looking down on us
I felt one with the chosmic entity
A fusion of mind and space-time

In the sidereal silence
Here we gaze at the vestige of origins
We are wanderers
On a doomed path
And our matter
Belongs to the stars

A golden nectar
Seeping out from the chalice
And feeding the fire
A languid ode
Sung with a strained voice
To bid this land farewell

Back to our journey to the end

I foresaw
The harbingers of death
Like black silhouettes
Approaching above the snowy peaks
Their dark shapes eclipsed the Sun

A lineage of gods
A circle made of stones
Forgotten in the woods of time
