Bloodthorn - In The Shadow Of Your Black Wings (1997)

Drops of dew gleaming
In the fresh new morning light
My body cold and trembling
I've left the safety of the night

I sit here on the ground
By my side there lies a knife
It was her fault, I'm not to blame
I had to take her life

My tearwet eyes won't focus
And neither will my head
I just sit here in this silence
Nothing lives here - all is dead

These feelings boil inside
A new side of me is born
For every face I see
I feel such raging scorn

When you took my life away
It gave your eyes new vision
I planted a seed
It gave you a mission
From beside the lifeless flesh
I pick up my bloody knife
I wander into this new day
Prepared to take another life.

Lost in enchanted woods
I can't find the path
My ancestors so solemnly found
Lost in darkness
Afraid without hope
In this sacred forbidden forest
Where sad dreams blows through dark trees
The silence cry out thy name
Clouds of sadness
Begin to rain
I float on the water
The night is so dark
Love is gone
Light is gone
Come dark
Come evil
Come hell.

Soon shall the sun rise to morning
In glorious northern light
Gods of darkness grant me wisdom
And let the wisdom victor me

March to war
March to war
March to war
March to war

When the doom is full of sorrow
When the stone is covered with blood
When the winds cry out their wisdom
When the spirits call the dead
When the sun is sunk in slumber
When the moon shines through the night

March to war
March to war
March to war
March to war

When the doom is full of sorrow
When the stone is covered with blood
When the winds cry out their wisdom
When the spirits call the dead
When the sun is sunk in slumber
When the moon shines through the night

Soon shall the sun rise to morning
In glorious northern light
Gods of darkness grant me wisdom
And let the wisdom victor me

I fear no death, nor the bravest man
Lightning, thunder, tempest, storm
Join me on my march to war
Join me on my march to war

I've fought through the fiery furnace
Through murky Deaths' darkest fields
If the Gods would see me die
I welcome you Death -
When I'm doomed to die...

The cold misty veil of frost
Shadows eternal call
The shapeless twisted darkness
When Aurora Borealis illuminates the northern soil
Among mighty forests
Hills and mountains mightier than
The words of gods - here lies the path
The path to the nightshadow

Through the moonblue night
The dim and dusky light
The nightshadows crawling hunger
A key to the abyss
Here - in the majestic north
Here - the woe of frost
By the bestial might of the mountains
Here - I shall walk as a sheep
To the lair of the wolf
Into infinity

Night call, shadows fall
Unexplored visions in my innermost thoughts
Beasts howls in the ecstasy of hate
The dark tempts me out this night
Summons me to a horrid hate
Such silence - such liberating silence

Here I shall rest throughout eternity
Here - in the shadow of your black wings' embrace.

The night all winds were still
And silence lay weighty on the soil
By a water sat a voiceless man
Alone by this moonlit mirror.
He looked to the horizon
With a mournful heart
In remembrance of what had been.
Still he could sense the smoke
Of the countless pyres by the shore.
He let his hand caress the black ground
Among this urn's dark ashes lies memories of past times hidden.
Ruins of the times gone by.
Once all this was his...
His name had been carved in stone.
His image bore into battle.
But his men were defeated
And his temple burned...
This mournful man keep silent
For the faith in him is gone,
And the land he fought to defend
Has withered in his abscense.
But still some hearts burn with rage
For the desecration of this land.
Some praise his name at night,
Some hail his image high...
And the man knows:
No lost battle will be forgotten
In this timeless war.

This is the last time...
The last time I watch the sun rise to blind my eyes
Tonight the dark sky is my roof
And all misty fields my floor
I have found my place to be
By your side; in your arms
You're my bride - I'll die for you
Eosophobic wedlock - forever by your side
I won't live to bid you farewell
You're the embodied core of darkness
Pure beauty dressed in black
I feel you are a part of me
Thus I a part of you
Never again shall the light of day
Come between us and tear us apart
You're the heart of night
And now my heart is yours
Seductive Noctilûca
Your eyes have never seen the sun.
