Your soul traded to darkness Lost in the trees that never end Searching, just an aura A life once traded to the god of men The pieces that we've lost You'll never see again A creature of these blackened woods Your geist you yearn to find and cleanse Free my soul, give me life Reanimate by night Now I shall walk again and feel the burn of moonlight Skipping through the shadows Lurking, waiting to appear Dancing upon a hallowed treetop Through the fog the smell of fear A lonely traveller Rides blindly in the misty night Could it be? The wolves don't lie The cursed sword that raped your life Free my soul, give me life Reanimate by night Now I shall walk again and feel the burn of moonlight Forgotten princess, Temptress of the night I now return from dust to claim the throne, My birthright once foreseen Come to me, you can't resist.... A fair maiden, golden hair, white dress and crimson lips cries for help carried on the storm with a windy hiss Your reward for murder be'eth a fatal poison kiss Your knees drop.... A sudden loss of energy. Our eyes lock... This lifeless gaze no mystery. Then you see... A ghost of your past memories. Could it be? The life you took for false deities? Oh how I've longed for thee To repay the violation that saw me locked away for centuries Can you feel my breath, so dead, so cold? Frost running down your neck, you're in my web's eternal hold Wings break free from me, now I am complete. Queen of the blackened woods, I've fulfilled the prophecy Now you lay to rest, your bones rot gracefully Through the Wych's tunnel's silence I cry with eternity!

Beyond Dusk 02:56
Thick shadows fall across the misty plains As darkness takes over the realm. With nothing to guide but flickering torch embers, Moonlight and galaxies of stars. Cold winds blow sending chills down spines While castles raise their drawbridges high. A boy's hand grips his blade's handle tight Drawn from its sheath, empowering man's might! There is no room for fear, The time is approaching, your enemies will soon be here! Ride on, tread light, this battle will run through the night. The cry of the Wolfos may give you a fright!! Stay strong for now, come morning's light, You will be named "The Hero of Time." Draw out your blade, unleash the rage Swipe swift and sure, turn destiny's page. Come forth you creatures of death Extinguishing flames when bone meets steel. The dead rise! Dark magic is born. Corpses of slain ascend from their graves. Driven by hate, skeletal beasts stagger On a path to destroy all. Victory is his once again But this boy's far from his end He is The Hero of Time And his story lives on. Wisdom Power Courage and Time It will take you there Wisdom Power Courage and Time Wisdom Power Courage and Time It will take you there Wisdom Power Courage and Time Will keep you alive!

Slipping through the window upon a castle's walls It won't be long until these fuckers fall. They will know, they'll be shamed, they'll all stop and stare Once I've made my way into the Necromancer's Lair Behold! The Demon's stare! Encased in dragon leather and bound with human hair Set them free! I'll set them free into the world! Blow off the dust, wipe off the webs This city's people will wish they were dead. Open the pages only to see But the most brutal staring at me. The Portal of Souls! A gateway from this life into the next. Spinning and swirling, a gateway to hell Can it be closed? I cannot find the spell. Writhing and tearing and ripping right through Fractured reality, dimensions anew. Demons feeding on his flesh Stealing human souls. Beasts of hell roam free to kill What will become of us all? And in the Necromancer came To put this stupid fool to fucking shame "The only way to save us all Is now to lay you down to rest." The undead mage held his staff up high Chanting uncontrollably opens up the Sky Now turned to the criminal full of pride and vain "Look at what you've brought yourself You've written your own end." Oh why, you have failed! You've uncovered a world of darkness and despair Now you will pay. Now you will pay with your life.

A thrust of my sword fills his stomach Full of hardened, polished steel Again and again I kill their best The challenge once posed, I no longer feel My legend has spread both far and wide throughout this land But something harder, a worthy fight Is all I wish for now Long my search continues None withstand my rage Dead and dying bodies Gives me glory on the stage One eerie night, appeared an apparition That told me to travel beyond the wall Where I will find a foe worthy of my sword Without delay I set foot to the north Cold winds blowing, winter is taking its course. I must carry on, for this man brave and bold Does not fear! Stalactites of deadly ice Rain down like arrows throughout the sky Stabbing my organs and crushing my brain Punctured lungs and unbearable pain The seasons turn, my soul it yearns For this foe to die I am but a warrior beneath the winter sky Tundra plains stretching endlessly Desolate. Devoid. Where is this worthless warrior? Soon he will be destroyed. Falling down, cannot see, my helmet sits askew Not once defeated by man nor by beast, None could match my skill This foe I find upon me now, No armour to sever, armour to tear My heart grows chilled, my pulse is stilled I stare into the sky THE BLADE OF WINTER! Now my search has ended One did match my rage. The wounds and pain now clear and plain The blade of winter has run through me. The seasons turn, cold still burns Nothing is left to die. Once I was a warrior, now just bones Beneath a frozen, stormy sky.

A blinding glow burning from depths of the forest That man does not know Emerges a girl, her origin unknown Her story yet to be told. Let's go poaching out in the woods Beyond the old Hill Fort The forbidden forest of Elms Climbing the treetops Only to see the skull of a girl Then she stared right back at me! Drifting on forth in the moonlight And how did this soul come to be? An innocent victim of torment Becomes the executioner! And vengeance will be served For what they've done to me. In the Wych Elm Run from the Hill Fort Between you and me The Queen of the Wych Elm, The Temptress has been set free. Let us tell no one For we were not meant to be there Let us tell no one of Bella Bella from in the Wych Elm.

Her cold hand beckons for me To step out from the light To feel the breeze upon my face To feel her kiss upon my cheek Her arms wrapped tight around me Her voice - whispering in my ear Her fingers linked with mine There is nothing to fear I've become one with the cold I want to die I'm diving into the void I want to die I take her hand and follow on Her bones are pressed against my palms Her stench is rife within my nostrils I find it oh so calming She hands me roses full of thorns Their petals rancid from the buds I suddenly feel whole She pulls my hands unto her sheath Her robe drops down to her feet I raise my fingers to her breast Nothing but bones beneath her chest One hand on my hip now waltzing A dance with death is underway Folding my knees beneath me The temptress clad in sweet decay Slowly she whispers "my name is Bella" Torso is twisting under the pressure now Eyes locked in furious gaze, unbroken Reaching into my chest no words spoken Coldness engulfing all that is felt Darkness replacing all that I can see All torment from me has been stripped The solace I feel is her gift I've become one with the cold I want to die I'm diving into the void I want to die I have embraced the coldness And made deal with her To take this life of torment - Rip it from my chest within I have engaged in a dance with death To feel her lips upon my face
