Yearning I returned to land with seeds in my heart innocent memories Gloomy sidehills, dark sleeves embraced by the mist two children untouched by fear and oppresion bites my soul when getting closer to the mill mystic girl with hair black like the raven dark she's my destiny Dance with the wolf under the moonlight I swallow her scowl her soul getting hornmad Does she remember my love from the childhood her place in my heart stays ever eternal Men getting deranged by her fairness, imma- culate sorcery, dealing with the devil coming from nowhere, leaving before day breaks, with a new dawn coming I can hear forest whispers her name reverberates in the valley lost in my dreams somewhere Freezing winds have banished the 10 cruel winters down from the mountains At the bottom of the abysm where seeds of the hills meet where almighty lord lives The essence of darkness the eyes of the wolf light lost in fog This is the dream of both you and me of two souls untouched by the realm of mankind Cauldron so deep where nobody sees the bottom, the end, the grave of memories There's my symphony of pain, when your heart looks other way, searching, running, bleeding, creeping, your veil melts in dark away Dreams caught by fear, drown the world grief melts the tears of sorrow, away to rims of rave Once she was there with me, ran to the wood in deep, went along stealthily, we touched the heart of nature Fly with me, accross declivity, I feel you dance with me, this will be our last time ride

Clouded in the shadow, I have come into this world, my wings they're gone with sorrow, many centuries behind. Like a fallen angel sheds his tears and rambles in the night, I can feel the time will come when my soul awakes from dark Awake, from death, awake, and take breath, Dreams of freedom, time's my demon, spells they bring my light Looks so fearful fights my evil, vanish from my heart Midnight rape, enslave, the soul hunt began

Two brothers and one kingdom, two swords, and between them fight, tempted by the demon, of great power and might The sky's getting dark ecclesiastic blight, ar- mies hit by great streak, and devoured by night Time has passed through many years and centuries are gone forces they're sleeping and waiting for command Knights in entrails, with power embraced, bad times to arrive, then ready to rise Demons and evil, I call you tonight raise from your kingdom, serve then you'll die Warriors from dungeon, I seek you tonight, fight for your kingdom worst times have come Glorious palaces, destroyed by time, magic and swords, reveal they pride Knights in entrails, with power embraced, bad times to arrive, then ready to rise Demons and evil, I call you tonight raise from your kingdom, serve then you'll die Warriors from dungeon, I seek you tonight, fight for your kingdom worst times have come

How far is the land frown, the mortals they don't know they realm will decease, resumption begins,the ashes in wind blown, souls screaming in storm, mastery's beneath, human life defeat The earth shells and opens the gates the flames raising from scars, lash a- gainst the sky, and demons awake, the doom will come, and wolf will eat the sun Where men ruined the nature, and green killed by rapture, life disappeared there, where no one remains, the ghost of the forest closed door to the walkers, from world of the pain, fear and distress The earth shells and opens the gates the flames raising from scars, lash a- gainst the sky, and demons awake, the doom will come, and wolf will eat the sun Life has turned my dreams to light, no stars on assise, no magic of the dark night's sky with eyes stare, where apocalypse dwells, no memory remains, their spirit trapped in wounds of doom with hate If the night, if the light, dreams of realm, with no delight Last kingdom, faceless evil, there's no hope catch my demon Millions of tears, wrote letters on your gravestone, following that queen, her crown is made of thorns Walking through the dreams, where life has lost all their hope, stand in front of deer, magic in his hartshorn

Signs engraved in bark (of) robust tree knifes sticked under the names of us Blood or water, will show who's out there whose path has ended and so had his life My faerytale has gone, the blood of us is one Where once was the fight I gave you my heart, gave you half of my ring, evil under the sun has taken our love due possession and lust carry in mind I will wait till you come I had a dream, about a realm, covered with black drapery Had a fight with beast so grim flames lashing so high We lived in luck love in my heart, before I've seen the mystic land from my sight with curse so dark that even green took another path There's a hill, where demons sleep, where no birds sing, from there's no return, no sun nor light a witch so sly no life after the nightfall I'm sitting closely to the fire, beasts on my side wolf, bear and lion Talking to the demon, witch is tempting my doom by turn to stone

Lonely king wanders across his country, small cabin he found, three fairies inside there, abandon their dreams, their wishes said loudly, no one forefeels how real their words might be Thoughts before matter of fact one day after Evil has seed meanness, life became horror Envy the beauty and innocent wonder Demons inside, tempting darkness to come One, she's different, so fragile and lonely, her thoughts so innocent, with secret enshrouded When door opened, and king entered in her dream, the fruits of their love the river embraced thee Thoughts before matter of fact one day after Evil has seed meanness, life became horror Envy the beauty and innocent wonder Demons inside, mastered darkness has come Spirit, blood pain, dark In front of the church, there is prison so hard, and small window only, where light enters dark. Till end of her life only pain, contempt, cruelty, imprisoned in night, her wounds, suffers agony The shade of the war, fell on the realm, the king rides against the storm and his will, Claws of evil have spread in the kingdom condemned his love in darkness and terror Thoughts before matter of fact one day after Evil has seed meanness, life became horror Envy the beauty and innocent wonder Demons inside, mastered darkness has come In front of the church, there is prison so hard, and small window only, where light enters dark. Till end of her life only pain, contempt, cruelty, imprisoned in night, her wounds, suffers agony I feel cold dark They spit in my heart Her blood and beauty entered cursed country, burning remonstrance brought freedom to us The tree of eternity, converts things (to) beauty- ful dream am I feeling after water so healing, The bird singing a story of cruelty and envy, her life began shortly after her loved ones opened the (prison) door

Last MMIV 05:56
Long time ago, as the life has flowed I raised from dream, that became so real The day has come, and I saw your face Deep in my heart, there was no empty space The time has crawled, in the ruins of thoughts As we walked in snow, our hands were bound The Spirits of the blessing trees, Remaining stars within the centuries I stray in fear, wiped away the tears With the rising sun, in the morning breeze We stand alone, many years have gone Till the moment of our day has come From entrails and waves, from rimrocks, and uplands, breaks over the wrath of ancient gods, sad their fays Magic their realm, opens the gates, armies of monsters march (to) destroy, to defense Come into the lands of the light It comes the night without the stars and trees whisper together Come and see what hands of man have done And hear the sing(ing) of birds has gone As dark spirits we will rapture

The night has gone to release the morning stars, Wake me up from the dream, stray in dark Silent steps across the frozen lake, face under the ice looking to the sky, your hand touching the white ground of glass, I kneel, we touch, I pray the wall (between us) disappears The night has gone to release the morning stars, I'm fading, weeping, Wake me up from the dream, stray in dark, My soul is bleeding, I've seen your face, how deep are your eyes Your heart is freezing My tears they've dropped in the snow, warm and salt, cold winter leave Snow falls down, your form's slowly gone, feeling your heart so close, and its warm so far "Take me home", as if you would speak these words feel me close, cold stream takes you down Hold me, water bear me before I drown See me, eden awaits me, before I close my eyes
