1) Oblivion
Within a world so dimly lit
blood stains my hand
underneath this moon of blood
forgotten, forlorn; alone she stands
Beckoning beyond these broken halls
red lanterns glow, a fading light
I am the hunter; the bringer of night
Far below, these waters they run so cold
uphill towards the sky
the watcher; black ravens fly
Shrouded in silence
what do I seek?
We are returning home
Through frozen wind, blackened rain
she calls my name
Old world, this tattered soul
My fate behold
Here upon the throne of night
warrens of fury; a crimson light
My soul it drinks the rain
she calls my name
2) Born of Ash
Ten thousand years
a fury defined
cold splintered stone
black void, dark mind
The draw of summons old
the lands quake
binding spells upon this tomb
wither and break
Clouds build upon the horizon
yet winds are calm
The air is thick with fear
the old gods are gone
All life has left this place
a silence reborn
Dark rivers flow below us
another rift is torn
The deepening thunder rolls
blue light bends the skies
The earth is rent around us
the lone wolf it cries
My mind deceives me
for it is devoured by storms
The old ones decimate
withering ash is my burning heart
Atop red-tipped hills
the grim glow of decay
The sun bleeds the lands is black
my mind drifts away
Ten mighty hunters
ten thousand years
Glass lake, the watcher
the weeper the fear

4) Blood Warren
Lie down beside me
your journey’s end
On green moss and broken stone
my footprints tread
These cold streams that bleed the north
threads of silver, jade
Boughs alight in lunar glow
sounds of the earth fade
These silver mires below pale moons
remain in my stead
Veins of the land are pulsing deep
into my spirit fed
The black of night for it is my robe
green of the earth I am made
These wild lands dark clouds above
gift to the mountain paid
Footsteps soft under watching pine
black soil run through my hands
The elder blood does call to me
dissipation of these lands
Runes deep within the rotted bark
root, stone, moss and leaf
Arcane sorcery long thought lost
for this my body bleeds
5) Singularity
Breathe, breathe deep; do you hear?
This world of shadow and rain
Refraction of light, all thoughts decay
Below fertile soil, black roots of the earth
A thought, a message delivered
What is this worth?
Blade of grass, sap of tree
The sounds of rushing water
caress my feet
A gift, such bounty for it is bestowed
Yet blind are eyes, unheeded, foretold
Warmth within shade, spirits dwell free
A soul on fire, the day it leaves me
Among green fields, the winds do speak
We are here they say; what do you seek?
The evening sun it bleeds the sky
A fated path, for you and I?
Autumn’s fury foretells raging storms
Yet it is natures wealth, we shall mourn
6) The Gate
The swell of the soil
the breath of the earth
Rivers glow; flow uphill
A burning fire, my body’s worth
An old fury is woven in time
My blood devoured, my heart reborn
An old fury is woven in time
The pulsing rhythm, these silver stars
Deep within this wonderous storm
The sentinel upon, a pale mire
My blood devoured, my heart reborn
