1. AS AUTUMN DIES

(instrumental)


2. SLEEP

Light is dim
In fact, it is naught
Spring went into summer,
Yet summer stepped aside
As autumn took its place
Then autumn died
And winter came to stay

Beyond the waste remains of
Autumns decayed suit
Neither heat nor frost
Maketh any difference

Silent solitude
Winter's reign
That which once was
And perhaps once more to be
Sleeps...

In the land where dreams are reality
And reality is no more to be
If thou from 'ere canst see
- Solitaire reality -
Winter thy cryb, and thus,
Thine crypt...

...And by spring's soft embrace you will awake
From winter's peaceful sleep...


3. TERRA MATER

Spring... Writhe
Autumn... Rise
Twilight... Begin
Decay... Thus bring

Disharmony their son
The blackening of the sun
Betrayal begun
Disoriented creed, all past begone

Darkness can't hide them
From our moonlight gone black

It's born again
The beginning of the end
Our forces must blend
Our lives to expend

Disharmony has won
The blackening of our sun
Cleaning operation has begun
Disoriented creed is soon gone

Cold winds... Rise
Past life... Writhe
Parasites... Die
Terra Mater... Lives

5. BEST REGARDS

As I lie here, knowing I will
(never) Get away from here
(alive) Through death
No one can do anything but to wait
As I slowly wither from within

Soon I won't be able to move
- Will I see the land
Soon I won't be able to speak
- Where my ancestors sleep
Soon I won't even be able to think clearly
- Will I ever journey home

Dying faster, thinking of all things
unaccomplished
Ideas only I could ever carry through
All my dreams discarded before my time was
due

I will float in to the ever
If there is an ever
I will only know for sure
When it's too late for me to tell you

So I'll just give you my best regards


6. SHAPELESS

To feel a bleeding soul; Agony of the mind
The bliss of torment echoes through my brain
Such waste; A loss of will
Echoes through lost time

I curse life, for which I hunger
I curse life, from which I am bereaved
I curse the chill of life
And welcome the warmth of death
Cancel this state, enter dimension shapeless

Feeling, bleeding
Agony of the mind
The bliss of torment
Echoes through my brain
Such waste, loss of will
Echoes through lost time

Death shall free my soul
Nevermore this mental void, out of this void
Into forthcoming abyss of time

So you ratify me as insane
But death is certain anyway
And life was not meant for me
My energy will never cease to be
A new dimension I shall see
Shapeless my soul shall wander


7. COME WINTER

...The soughing of the wind
The thunder of the avalanches
The roar of the waterfalls
The howling of the wolves...

Come winter, cold and frosty
Hold me firmly in your vice
With majestic force you hold
This world in your white hand

Come winter, white preserver
Cover my body in white lace

O' Skadi
Silvery queen of winter
Let the summer suffer
Its atonement in white
Your radiant beauty
Envelopes this waste land
Making it shine
In the grace of your veil

Come winter, pure and shining
I plead thee for eternal existence
You have the might to preserve
Life in its slumber

Come winter, white preserver
Please heed this my last wish
On earth

O' Skadi
Silvery queen of winter
Let the summer suffer
Its atonement in white
Your radiant beauty
Envelopes this waste land
Making it shine
In the grace of your veil
O' Skadi
Jotunbride of the gods
Northern huntress
Native of Thrym-heim

White huntress;
Mother of Freya
Enshroud me;
Beautiful daughter of frost
Where are you
- Hidden by years of mist
Please come back
- Forgotten I am dead


8. THE SHADOW

Every night I feel it behind me
Every night I sense its presence
Every night it's haunting me
As ominious as my dyed counscience

Every night it turns every dream
Into a frowsty nightmare
Every night I want to turn
And finally face this shadow

In a frowsty chill
A mist of fear
The one I do not wish to know
Resides my every dream
The Shadow, my unseen
Beholding captor

Every night I feel it behind me
Every night I want to face its nature
But never this do I dare
For saw I it, surely die would I

Last night, in my dream I turned
To face the faceless peril
How morbid my dreads then seemed
As I saw my own distorted face

In a moisty chill
A dreadlike mist
The one I restist to know
Enshrouds my every dream
The Shadow, my hidden
Second I
