Lyrics


1. From Blood To Stone

As the lights slowly fade in an emerald whirl
I dig through my broken ideals
As the sun hides his smile from the plain down below
I stand enchanted

I need to find something to fill my whole without falling, falling apart
Something that can give me a reason to hope, falling, falling apart

I can tell from the deep of my heart,
every day I fight to conquer a place in the world
Look around, leave it all with a smile,
taste the blood of Earth and sign your mark on the stone

From the roots in the soil to the branch in the sky
From head to toe I must find
A perfect harmony to help my travel this night
Through my own Wyrd

There is nothing the can frighten me more than myself,
outliving this world
I look around and I suddenly see and realize
I finally live (in the best way it can possibly be)

I can tell from the deep of my heart,
every day I fight to conquer a place in the world
Look around, leave it all with a smile,
taste the blood of Earth and sign your mark on the stone

Turning from blood to stone, be one with the roots of Life
From flesh and from tears to soil, make a promise and choose to live

I have found something to fill my whole without falling, falling apart
Something that has given reasons to hope, I'm not falling, falling no more

I can tell from the deep of my heart,
every day I fight to conquer a place in the world
Look around, leave it all with a smile,
taste the blood of Earth and sign your mark on the stone

In the end I don't care if I'm part of a plan
As long as I'm a part of it

2. The Perpetual Knot

And this journey begins --
with the beat of wings of lark
Her wake ravishing - skyforged spark
Gold-leaves are falling, all beasts are
howling, the signs are clear!

The forces are near -
the crows say that someone will die
Embraces and fear - they tell no lies
Searching for new roads, sacrifice your
blood, the signs are clear!

Eyes in the darkness
They watch, they follow you
The Spirits guide your soul
all through the clues
Eyes in the darkness
Now hear the Sisters' voice,
you are free to choose your fate
now make your choice

Through the seven seas our quest goes,
pale moon our guide
Walking the trails of the perpetual knot
Roughly carved tree-trunks are shining in
fading lights
May you read the meanings, it's your lot

The journey comes to an end -
the lark plunged with sun into sea
All you love and defend -
belongs to you and me
Pagan traditions of forgotten missions,
the signs are clear!

Eyes in the darkness
They watch, they follow you
The Spirits guide your soul
all through the clues
Eyes in the darkness
Now hear the Sisters' voice,
you are free to choose your fate
now make your choice

Through the seven seas our quest goes,
pale moon our guide
Walking the trails of the perpetual knot
Roughly carved tree-trunks are shining
in fading lights
May you read the meanings

Through the seven seas our quest goes,
pale moon our guide
Walking the trails of the perpetual knot
Search for the fibres,
the dwelling light net of Wyrd
Roaming souls on branch of Mother Earth

3. The Winter Wake

As the lights are growing dim
Freezing cold, slowly is fading in
Another Winter night will hold this wicked soul
I will wait for the new Sun to rise
Blind in darkness, witness my demise
Another Winter night is so long...

[Bridge:]
The lands are dressed in the purest white
Pure as I was and I am no more

[Chorus:]
The ones of you who are free of guilt
Wound me with your stones and then step in
Buried in the whitest snow I will suddenly awake
The winter wake
As the steps are leaving trails
Of the side of me I hate
This is the Night when I will face all my disgrace
Cover me, cover all that I see
A little light flake for your heart and the sea
A single flake for all the good ones...

[Bridge:]
The lands are dressed in the purest white
Pure as I was and I am no more

[Chorus:]
The ones of you who are free of guilt
Wound me with your stones and then step in
Buried in the whitest snow I will suddenly awake
The winter wake

[Chorus 2:]
