Silent death is creeping in the night

One night last summer we were camped at ten thousand feet up where the air is clear, high in the Rockies of Lost Lake, Colorado. And as the fire burned low and only a few glowing embers remained, we laid on our backs all warm in our sleeping bags and looked up at the stars.
And as I felt myself falling into the vastness of the Universe, I thought about things, and places, and times.
I thought about the time my grandma told me what to say when I saw the evening star. You know, Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.
The air is crystal-clear up here; that's why you can see a million stars.
I remember a time a bunch of us were in a canyon of the Green River in Wyoming; it was a night like this. And we had our rafts pulled up on the bank an' turned over so we could sleep on 'em, and one of the guys from New York said, "Hey! Look at the smog in the sky! Smog clear out here in the sticks!" And somebody said, "Hey, Joe, that's not smog; that's the Milky Way."
Joe had never seen the Milky Way.
And we saw the Northern Lights once, in the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana. They're like flames from some prehistoric campfire, leaping and dancing in the sky and changing colors. Red to gold, and blue to violet... Aurora Borealis. It's like the equinox, the changing of the seasons. Summer to fall, young to old, then to now. And then tomorrow...

lyrics: Vetelainen & Puolakanaho
Under a darkened sun they are born
When the moon is losing its shape
I'm here again to see
The nightly dance of the flames
Once my father bore his sword
To defend the clan till the end
Now he braves the battles
Between the red northern flames
In the silence of the night
I stare at those ancient lights
Which enlighten the way from the cradle
And lead warriors into the grave
They have always been
And they will never change
They light the fire of a soul
And keep it burning bright
And behind the scattered clouds
The star field of the sky
Brings back the dreams I already lost
Shall I ever be like him
The brave warrior of the night,
Whose name will be written
In the northern lights
instrumental
oh my god i've been
waiting for you all of my
life the trees are tired
from breathing sharks keep
moving never stopping
sharks keep moving on cut
out my eyes to spite my
heart wish for sleep but
never stopping assignments
pile up. watch out baby
going way to fast with out
eyes in the back of your
never know where you came
from please let me crash
now break my body split
myself in two split my
Thus the story is told of the war of the rings,
Of the dark lord and the orcs and the foulest of beings,
Of the plague and the darkness that spread like a fire,
Of the eagles in the sky which soar so much higher,
Of the wizards and the dwarfs and the mightiest of all men,
Of the halfling and the task which carried all the burden,
Of the kings and the queens and the forest filled with elves,
Thus it is told on the greatest of all tales
Beware the black hand reaching from above
The armies of evil stretching like an ocean
Wolves and men engulfed in a blood bath
The armies of the virtuous will spread their wrath
Majority of the war rests on he who carries the ring
Into the mouth of the malefic king
If the one is cast into the eternal fire
The good will likely triumph and the world will again be brighter
Fiercely fighting, raging, dying, thousands slain, cast down not in vain
Day after day, night by night, mighty catastrophe, middle earth has ever seen
Thus the story is told of the war of the rings,
Of the dark lord and the orcs and the foulest of beings,
Of the plague and the darkness that spread like a fire,
Of the eagles in the sky which soar so much higher,
Of the wizards and the dwarfs and the mightiest of all men,
Of the halfling and the task which carried all the burden,
Of the kings and the queens and the forest filled with elves,
In the land of the dead to the west of the
Nile remains the great Kings preserved
for the spirits, resting forever guarded
by Hamor Protector of all that lie in
the valley
Four Goddesess, watching
over the, sarcofagus
inside the embalmed
peaceful, eternally
In the future the spirits returns to the body
beggining the journey for the afterlife
keeping belongings that once were their own
To live with the gods in the other land
Entombed, in his lair
awaiting the coming
beneath the earth, behind stone walls
awaken to live, once again
In the valley of the Kings they stay
in the tombs of gold is where they lay
forever gazing in the dark
Body wrapped in silken cloths
force felt throughout the pyramid walls
dreams of eternal life
This day comes to soon, one more life I must consume
One more life I need to gain the freedom that I seek
Led through the tunnels and labyrinths so deep
Prisoners and slaves encircling me
I am but one, one of the same
When the sun sets this all shall change
We who are about to die, we salute you
We who are about to die, we salute you
Five men in, one leaves
Today there will be no mercy
Lust for blood grows strong
Not from me but ones watching on
We who are about to die, we salute you
We who are about to die, we salute you
Catching the gleam of a childs glad eye
Cheering and laughing while watching them die
In the arena of death they shall fall
To the delight and enjoyment of all
Verbera strike deaths blow
The last ones my hands shall know
Ahhhh Hydra The serpentine, Immortal so it seems
Slain, it cannot be, Soon I shall see
In the shadows I go, into its home In the shadows I know, it waits alone
In the shadows I fan, my feelings of hate
Nine heads staring at me, eighteen eyes that can see
No fear in my soul, this beast I control
Battle raising fierce, off with one head and two appear what can be done, to
pass this labor the second one
In the depths of this hell, lerna calls me out
snake, marshes its bed, soon it s home will run red
Blood falling like rain, its life will I drain
Burn the severed limbs, none will appear again
One the first head falls, two seal it off
third head and fourth, the legend heads north
six, seven and eight, the ninth I decapitate
last and immortal head I bury down, beneath the ground
Do you wish to be, carried over sea
To the banks beyond of the acheron
Passage, is that what you seek
Passage, admittance from me
Obulus, that is what I seek
Obulus, for you to proceed
Passage, is that what you seek
Passage, admittance from me
Hermes bring them all to me, those who seek eternity
Buried with the proper rites, thou shall suffice
Breathing souls who wish to go present to me the golden bough
Looking to the oracle, cumaean sibyl
A hundred years you may find, a hundred years lost in time
Cerebus not far behind, lingering on
Do you wish to be, carried over sea
To the banks beyond of the acheron
Transverse the tides, listen for the cries
Of the souls below, perhaps you will know
Passage, do you still seek this
Passage, assuming all the risks
Obulus, does not ensure the cross
Obulus, all you know may be lost
Passage, do you still seek this
Passage, assuming all the risks
Precarious, uncertain premises
Precarious, dependent on this
Touch the water you shall know only sorrow
Touch the water you shall feel only hate
Touch t he water you shall see rancid plague
Just, just one drop
Touch the water you shall hear screaming souls
Smell the water's sweet scent of wasted life
Feel the water you shall burn, burn with fire
Feel the water you shall drown in misery
Twice before you've heard the fury forever more
Twice before you felt and learned the power of the storm
I brought you through the valley where kings are laid to rest
Told you of the tales where hearts were weighed to pass a test
Now the third story unfolds and intrigues your every sense
No tale will remain untold and we'll speak without penance
through the caverns of a deep labyrinth
Man was known to well and then led to his death
This time through there is no calm before the rage begins
This time through the crown that's worn is fit for only kings
The chambers are still damp and cold and wait to take your soul
The armies of the virtuous are over a hundred fold
Feel the fire raging higher of a scorching dragons breath
Or gaze into a cauldron black and wait for all the rest
I wait in the golden halls, I take at will from those who fall
I make the dreams that you dream, I forsake ones that only scream
I wait in the golden halls, I take at will from those who fall
I make the dreams that you dream, I forsake ones that only scream Northern Lights
Chaos will be known and will be shown upon this offering
You will feel the wrath and linger on as your entering
Into the mayhemic ways to be known as the lights
Fell the wind blow across the moon lit sky
Sense it coming with from deep inside
Never in the deepest darkest dreams you dread,
Did you think that this would come but it has
Listen, hear us call with the gusts when it least expected
Blasts of the snare fall like hail across the horizon
Pulling at the core crafted by hands of lords
Violence filled with fury lightning strikes now it has arrived,
As it drives
This is the storm, the storm that will rip your souls apart
This is the storm, feel it pound within your heart
This is the storm, The storm that will steal the breath from you
This is the storm, Leaves you gasping and cuts right through
The wretched voices that you hear slowly begin to take you in
The wretched voices that concur there will be no equal ever again low end
rumble shakes the ground making a volcanic sound
If there were lava it wouldnt pour but beat you down like you were a whore
Embraced without arms when all is done thus we return again,
Like a wave drowning you in a sea of black that
Leaves not a thing, not a trace, of the power that has passed,
Memories all thats left no doubt you will meet it again
And again
This is the storm, the storm that will rip your souls apart
This is the storm, feel it pound within your heart
This is the storm, The storm that will steal the breath from you
This is the storm, Leaves you gasping and cuts right through
All the silence has been broken and the eye has passed on by
The plurality has spoken even though one has not died
Keep an eye cast high above the moon and stars and weary nights
Morning rise hear the crow this the last all things shall know
Asgard will fall reduced to ash cities crumble none shall pass
Trembling earth starts the trend now the final days end
Ragnarok we will see ragnarok this will be
Touch of ice, begin to show
Unyielding cold, winters breath
As harsh as three but only one destroys the rest
Gods awake, the time has come
All to war, all the same
Destiny no escape none to blame
Break the bonds loki's rise lead the march the gods demise
Ships set sail meant to be of dead men's nails upon the sea
Undead shall hear legions deep the masters call they will meet
Ragnarok we will see ragnarok this will be
Touch of ice, begin to show
Unyielding cold, winters breath
As harsh as three but only one destroys the rest
Gods awake, the time has come
All to war, all the same
Destiny no escape none to blame
Surt no longer waits alone deep beneath his fiery home
Fell the fire searing heat
Burn the world
Underneath the ocean depths rising up with the rest
Spew the serpents poison over
Land and sea
Heimdall guardian and watcher of the bi frost
Shreds of hope are all but lost
Hear the great horn blow
Gods take up your weapons ride unto the heavens
Now the once blue sky
Shall burn in flames
Watch the earth sink beneath untimely death under the sea
No wind shall blow no water runs just to feel the blackened sun
All that's left nothing, nothing is everything
Ragnarok we will see ragnarok this will be
Touch of ice, begin to show
Unyielding cold, winters breath
As harsh as three but only one destroys the rest
Gods awake, the time has come
All to war, all the same
Mourners gather round
look at the corpse in a casket
teardrops hit the ground
what is this?
Touching the dead
feels so cold
Carrying the body
to the open ground
Final time you see it
it is going down
Mourners gather round once more
look at the closed casket
Mother faints to the floor
What is it?
Preacher say your senseless words
listening its so absurd
this ordeal is nothing new
now the cemetery owns you
Life's circle has come to pass release the soul free at last
This is not a tragic end but a new beginning to start again
Let us gather ceremony commence a sacred clearing is where we begin
The tools for this trade are small and few
Ripping and crushing the priest is to do
Life's circle has come to pass release the soul free at last
As he sharpens up his blade bring the body here she lays
Looking up into the sky the birds of prey are quick to fly
Down, insert the blade deep within
Tear, cutting flesh from limb to limb
Break, crush and shatter very bone
Pray, gut the corpse the blood runs cold
Vultures drawing closer still beginning now to feast at will
Her memory now just remains all flesh and bones are carried away
Life, a tribute to the ways of old
Death, this is a sky burial
Fly to the light her spirit flows
Up, this is a sky burial
Save and preserve the top half of the skull
From this we drunk in great celebration
A toast to long life and to prosperity
A toast to this ancient archaic belief
Life's circle has come to pass release the soul free at last
This is not a tragic end but a new beginning to start again
Let us gather ceremony commence a sacred clearing is where we begin
The tools for this trade are small and few
Ripping and crushing the priest is to do
Life, a tribute to the ways of old
Death, this is a sky burial
Fly to the light her spirit flows
Trapped, shackled by four chains, strapped to a wall, tormented day by day, living life in
Fear, hunger sets in now pain begins, rats naw my flesh, infected limbs are
Left, nothing to see, nothing to hear, only screams of anguish followed by
Tears, wishing to die, the luxury its time I've lost control the sixteenth chamber has taken my soul
Screams ripping through the air, bloodstained walls
everywhere. People dying lives are lost
this is my own holocaust.
Me existence torn from mind, flowing fast
like the sands of time. Please lift this
horrid curse, living in a world of hurt
Life line of consciousness, overshadowed by
lancination. Barely subsiting breathing,
living with the dead
Trapped, shackled by four chains, strapped to a wall, tormented day by day, living life in
Fear, hunger sets in now pain begins, rats naw my flesh, infected limbs are
Left, nothing to see, nothing to hear, only screams of anguish followed by
I am always
I am forever
Time I know not, death is not brought
Judger of all, my wrath shall fall
I am shapeless
I am deathless
Known by many names, never feel pain
Infinitely, existing
Where is the light ,where is my god
Shoe me a light, show me my god
Searching for the ultimate reality
Looking for the father the deity
Knowing I am the giver of all life
Asking where is the one that gave me mine
Searching for the ultimate reality
Looking for the father the deity
Knowing I am the giver of all life
Asking where is the one that gave me mine
I am boundless
I am soulless
No end I shall see, all praise go to thee
For all eternity, I shall never see
Call me the lord of all wars, call me the lord of storms
Call me the lord of all hate and disorder
My reign shall not be complete until the whole defeat
Bow now unto thee and worship at my feet
Murder shall soon unfold and fulfill the prophecies
Stories that once were told now are sure to be
Death was imminent fourteen pieces left
visible in the earth his death is my birth
The son shall arise avenge the conquering
A long campaign eighty it is to be
Fighting so long for I am tiring
The son has arisen and regained the reign from me
Call me the lord of all wars, call me the lord of storms
Call me the lord of all hate and disorder
My reign shall not be complete until the whole defeat
Bow now unto thee and worship at my feet
Banishment to be, placed at the side of re
In the northern sky, thunderous my cry
Assemble and resurrect, troth the magic of isis
King of the underworld, to the dead he is now lord
Call me the lord of all wars, call me the lord of storms
Call me the lord of all hate and disorder
My reign shall not be complete until the whole defeat
For a king has passed away, the ruler of a great dynasty.
Dig the pit and consecrate the ground with the sacrifice of nine armed guards found.
Frame the chamber out with wooden walls with the slaves of royalty who are called.
For splendor and savegry this is done but the funeral has only begun.
Dogs Interred at the guards side to watch the tomb out of the light.
The spirits of evil will not be left to grim as the coffin is now carried in.
Grave is the food supply left with the king so he will not starve in his final state of being.
The end of the burial is now drawing near and the covenant now becomes clear.
For a king must forever have his wealth, great riches of bronze are placed upon his shelf.
While ruling his land he was very fond of Jade.
Within his final resting place this is now laid.
Looking up at the slopes leading round the prisoners of war are being led down.
For these sixty souls will surely start to cringe as the Bloodletting now begins.
Offerings of jade and blood feel the wrath as red runs.
Offerings of jade and blood, now the time has come.
Offerings of jade and blood, feel the wrath as red runs.
Down on their knees begging for mercy their cries are empty pleas.
Quickly the Blade falls no more endless calls under the cruel laws.
Heads drop to the floor followed by more and more the trench is filled in gore.
Watch the thrall supply deplete their lives are now obsolete ceremony is complete.
For a king has passed away, the ruler of a great dynasty.
Dig the pit and consecrate the ground with the sacrifice of nine armed guards found.
Frame the chamber out with wooden walls with the slaves of royalty who are called.
The legend at hand is one of old and spoken by men of one hundred fold
The end reveals riches and gold, cast in darkness, underneath the earth it lies
Hear the victims ghastly cries as they slowly lose their lives, minds bewildered
Not a shed of hope in sight, no brightness to be guided by
Except the flicker of a light, by the flame, one with a heart so bold,
Strength and might which cannot be told enters the maze of caverns below, penitent
Enter he does against all consciousness, shadows eyes watching from corners, cracks and crevices
Mysterious is the puzzle as he encounters the toils, greed guides him on
Going untouched through tricks and traps, pursuing wealth
Magical are the walls that stand so high, mythical are the tales that one survived
Enter and those to shall find, their lives will soon be left behind Come forth step into the light
Labyrinth twists and turns of fright, recognize you must lose to win
Prepare to once again begin
Getting on to the final stage of this journey, in silence scheming with the assets he yet has
Blinding out of nowhere shines a gleam so bright glorious site his time arrives
Magical are the walls that stand so high, mythical are the tales that one survived
Enter and those to shall find, their lives will soon be left behind Come forth step into the light
Labyrinth twists and turns of fright, recognize you must lose to win
Prepare to once again begin
At one with the means he so greatly pursued.
From the eyes, show depth of rage, release of the fire
Scorching is the fire
Underlined with a crest of gold, magnificent is the site
Three rows of massive teeth fall nothing short of razor sharp
Razor sharp
Venom crawls from the heart
form its three forked tongue
Guardian of the golden fruit
of which I will rid it of
Into the mountains I ride
to conquer the beast of great might
the eleventh labor it's called
most difficult labor of all
Equipped with only a spear
for I will not show my fear
Triumphant the plan is to be
The dragon will soon bleed for me
My single spear pierces his heart
in death he now takes part
Into the heavens he is cast
for years of service that have passed
From the eyes, show the depth of rage, releases the fire
Scorching is the fire
Underlines with a crest of gold, magnificent is the site
Aurora, Holder of dawn, keeper of all in the sky
Aurora, Hail the goddess, creator of shapes in the night
Aurora, Shadow catcher, grace us with the ever changing light
Aurora, Ever shifting, ever chanting to the eternal sky song
Goddess of, I see all
Dawns break, make the rain fall
Day shall not come unless I say
Eternal dark maybe will stay
Goddess of, I see all
Dawns break, make the rain fall
Day shall not come unless I say
Eternal dark maybe will stay
Sister to the sun, like a fire burning bright,
watch and wait in wonder as I pain the night
Call upon the sons, winds north, south, east and west
Above the clouds is where none shall test me
No need to ask why, Into the dark I fly
Known since time began, soon you'll
see me again
Sky Dweller, Sky Dweller, Sky Dweller, Sky Dweller
Aurora, Holder of dawn, keeper of all in the sky
Aurora, Hail the goddess, creator of shapes in the night
Aurora, Shadow catcher, grace us with the ever changing light
Inside me anger builds like a blaze from below
Mindlessness causing this that is out of control
Inferior are the thoughts and ideas which you think
For the light at the end of your tunnel is to late
Do not taint the ground in which I walk on
Do not defile, the air in which I intake
For you and your cortege are disillusioned
Disciples of this dreadful epidemic
The intellectual has no meaning, as I lay silently screaming
for those of simplicity to awake and reach for the edge that I take
Looking down up from this tower, I watch those shake and cower
The time shall come and none to soon, when all the frail shall meet their doom
Let the weak play with weak, let the skilled be by skilled
Let the sounds that are clear soak in and be filled,
In the heads and the hearts of the ones that are true
Like the moon in the sky it will surely shine through
Do not taint the ground in which I walk on
Do not defile, the air in which I intake
For you and your cortege are disillusioned
As I sit here high upon my throne guarded by these seraphs of
mine sifting through the battles that take place
While choosing few throughout all of time
Many men will die in rage of war time hoping to find their way to me
silhouettes of lost souls caught in someone's struggle ever to walk aimlessly
Valhalla, Glorification to thee
Valhalla, Honor to be forever free
Slain in the course of a conflict, will the courage displayed suffice
As he lay there motionless in wonder none to soon he will surely see
This time this place this one shall not go for his story shall end in vein
For this will be his last sunset and his dawn will end in only pain, Pain
Time after time I watch the fallen, All of them hope to hear me calling
Enrich their lives only after death calls, soaring into golden halls.
There is one now of noblest blood, prepare the journey to pass into heavens
of everything you could ever dream to,
come to me and I shall greet you
Starring up at the gates made of pearl,
you have reached your destination
Forever to live in true nirvana in place of damnation
You are now with us,
partly of god Immortality you will know forever more
You are now with us, partly of god
Immortality you will know forever more
Many men will die in rage of war time hoping to find their way to me
silhouettes of lost souls caught in someone's struggle
ever to walk aimlessly
As I sit here high upon my throne guarded by these seraphs of mine
sifting through the battles that take place
While choosing few throughout
all of time
Valhalla, Glorification to thee
Valhalla, Honor to be forever free
Starring up at the gates made of pearl,
you have reached your destination
Let me take you on a journey, Let me take you out to find
Let me take you to no boundaries through the deepest parts of minds
Close your eyes, this is the entrance Close your eyes, and cross the path
Close your eyes, drift out slowly and let me work my craft
I mimic the delusion when I drowned your fears
I create the trepidation that can leave you in tears
I weave the web that you could never fathom
Enchanting, bewitching, enthralling is what I am
I manipulate the thoughts that are flowing through your head
I twist and I turn them a dream god is what I am
A dream god is what I am
A new day is dawning your eyes open wide
feeling relief all their is, is a sigh
The nightmare is over at least for now
I make the dreams, Only I know how
The sky now darkens, the clouds roll in
the same feeling suddenly begins
with that same sigh your eyes reopen wide
for I was only playing tricks with your mind
Grasp my hand and let me full fill your fantasies
In my world I control the line between
dreams and reality I make the rules that
control whether or not you will open you eyes again
Let me take you on a journey, Let me take you out to find
Let me take you to no boundaries through the deepest parts of minds
Close your eyes, this is the entrance Close your eyes, and cross the path
Close your eyes, drift out slowly and let me work my craft
A dream god is what I am
Images in the night sky,
casting spells on those who gaze into the night sky,
I see mystique and chaos in the lights,
In the night sky leaving trails that linger across the night sky,
Graceful they seem as they dance along the black
As they dance along the black
Blazing through the stars, shining within the arctic landscapes
Behold this phenomenon's beauty, Arise within the Northern horizon
Discern, I am the lights, they are with me, inhabiting
inside the verve feeling the sense see how they gleam with luminous
rays through the air curtain of light opening slow revealing tales of long ago
forever will the glisten be upon the land not faltering,
Never will the shining fade until the end,
The end of time
Blazing through the stars, shining with the arctic landscapes
Once great King of Buzzard and cobra
who once ruled over the land
your existence has but ceased and
time is no longer a demand
Ritual Journey has begun and now no
time is left
Sky is Dark Pyramid points north
Now the eternal quest
Jackal God of Embalming, Anubis takes his toll
one by one it is all removed, heart, liver and soul
Mind is next by breaking bones between cavity and skull
with a hook the brain comes out by
careful and few pulls
Painted eyes of stone are placed in the head
For this of you life is what you were bed
Incission in the gut, organs are withdrawn
corpse is stuffed and wrapped
for lifetimes to come
Inovaters of the ancient kind
Perplexities that can never be placed in line
Ahhh...
Into the world of shadows the soul soon shall find
Whether the heart is heavy or whether it lies
The life will be destroyed if htis is so
and the judgment shall be passed to the
underworld below
Oooh devour the light, oooh devour the cries
Elite forces cloaked in fur un sensitive to pain,
Buried deep beneath a sect worshipping the one
Odin
Only knowing one true way in battle to obtain,
Anything, everything in an uncontested way
Crushing
Fires set in the dark blazing on through the night berserker
Rage from deep in the heart undying will for the fight berserker
Hazeled fields lay precise, a challenge met with great strike berserker
Feel the double edged blade meet the soul that it takes
Burn the village to a smoldering ash
Rape and torture leave them in the past
Strike quick and kill the fast
Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field
Feeling for life no more
My lust for death is pure
Numb to the pain I endure
Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field
Elite forces cloaked in fur un sensitive to pain,
Buried deep beneath a sect worshipping the one
Odin
Only knowing one true way in battle to obtain,
Anything, everything in an uncontested way
Crushing
Don't even try as I am in your path
Call me god with your last breath
Feel the berserker's wrath
Invasion, pillage, plunder the battle field
Taking apart of the helm
All of the peace has fell
Now I control this realm
This dominion has been ruled to long by those known as Hyksos and I Komose prince of Thebes
Vow to destroy to the utmost
Thus my armies of upper Egypt shall sail upon the great Nile
For all the years of oppression and cruelty their souls soon shall fly
Fly, To heavens skies
Fly, Spirits rise
With my legions before me like a fiery flame in the nigh
A Hyksos vessel commands a force and confront us by the break of light
Upon them like a hawk I close in, Lions feasting on their prey
We continue to destroy on throughout until mid day
Take slaves for our use, years of abuse
War goes on for weeks
Their armies are becoming bleak
There is no where to turn
Their ships we shall burn
Suddenly I feel, A piercing makes me shrill
An arrow through my heart
My inner soul shall part
Part Ahmose successes me
Make their end complete
Dynasty, aggressive dynasty
They made a dynasty
As the night sky calls my soul asking me to fly forever free,
seeing beauty in gracious darkness for all of eternity.
Serenade my Innerself release the walls that in turn bind me,
waiting in line to look upon a cauldron for something I may never see.
Can you hear the silence, As it echoes.
From left to right, through corridors.
My thought are cleansed, No impurities.
The assay is passed, Know not failure.
Seek the future for the knowledge.
Seek the knowledge for the future.
Find the past for the truth.
Find the truth in the past.
Trade a sect of your life for the piece of the puzzle you wish to find.
Like the Sphinx's great riddle a part of the superior masters rhyme.
Take the hand of the mighty priest to lead and guide me on my quest.
Stare into a deep black ring a gaze into everdark.
As the night sky calls my soul asking me to fly forever free, seeing beauty in gracious darkness for all of eternity.
Serenade my Innerself release the walls that in turn bind me, waiting in line to look upon a cauldron for something I may
RA take your glorious throne
the weight of the heart you will behold
schripture keeping come from thoth
which weighs more the feather or the heart
Heart is placed on a scale
feather on the other side
For every test that is passed
the feather shows its decline
Over the pale blue skies
or one step closer to demise
which is your destiny
The spirit will surely see
Forty two crimes
are passed before your life
He who reaches the other land
shall exist like a god until the end
weighing of the heart,
will you see the light
weighing of the heart,
will your soul be ripped apart
[repeat]
Over the pail blue skies
or one step closer to demise
which is your destiny
The spirit shal surely see
Beyond you do not go this time
failed the worst of the crimes
The entity does not proceed
To the mansions of eternity
As the shadow of death falls
on your path is the gods halls
Ammit will devour and slaughter
Osirus start the next trial
weighing of the heart,
will you see the light
weighing of the heart,
will your soul be ripped apart
Like the steel cuts the cold
When I am far away
More and more I'm nearer
My own destiny.
This is the place where the light
Fills the sky with magic
And the sight of the night
Is the most sublime.
The fantastic purple flames
Live in the vast Northern lands
Burning our hearts with fire
Making our eyes shine.
Mystery makes me feel
More real than ever
When I am finally going
To my palace.
Made of ice, colossal,
Among the mountains
Everything is only mine
When I feel the power.
I have walked a long way
'cause I made a promise
And I know that the wind
Caught my desperate words.
Under the fire, on the ice,
Or in my last breath
I will pray for my soul
[Lyrics by Frode Glesnes]
[Music by Gerhard Storsund & Frode Glesnes]
A freezing winter sweeps the land
A creeping frost sets in
The fog encircles the castle
Surrounded by a total silence
Black clouds weigh upon from above
The candles are the only lights
The trance is getting deeper
Reaching upon thy mighty thrones
Then an iceblue shimmer hits the wall
The wind whistles a melancholy tune
Feel their presence
Oskorei
During dark and stormy nights of winter
You may see the lights of Thule
Aurora Borealis
Crossing the wastes of the northern fields
Frozen by the cold that paralizes the will
Enter the darkest depths of the northern woods
Tormented by the heat of the hellburning flames
Black moon rising from the sea way up north
Wotan rides across the sky
His fallen warriors hails him high
A freezing winter
A creeping frost
Black moon rising
Above this land from times untold
gazing down since days of old
on darkest nights the sky's aglow
reflecting dimly upon the snow
The gaze of all forgotten heroes
Reflected in this azure light
Graces now, my journey
As I sail into the night
Remember this, our endless song
Our dream of journey living on
From our course we'll never stray
The northern lights will guide our way
Carved in stone our names survive
Through our blood we stay alive
Though in this world we shall not stay
The northern lights will guide our way
Above this land from times untold
gazing down since days of old
on darkest nights the sky's aglow
reflecting dimly upon the snow
The gaze of all forgotten heroes
Reflected in this azure light
Graces now, my journey
As I sail into the night
Upon my side my sword is sheathed
And on my back my shield
The blackened waves my ship's upon
my true purpose thus revealed
The northern lights above me shine
The colours cascade down
Reflecting on my armour
As I sail away from town
Aurora Borealis, the heaven's are ablaze
As I stare towards the night sky
Its radiance meets my gaze
Aurora Borealis, the earth below it lights
As I look upon the ocean
On these never ending nights
Aurora Borealis, watch over me tonight
Though I sail into an unknown land
My soul will not know fright
Aurora Borealis, lead me on my way
Though my family wishes me at home
I know I cannot stay
Above this land from times untold
gazing down since days of old
on darkest nights the sky's aglow
reflecting dimly upon the snow
The gaze of all forgotten heroes
Reflected in this azure light
Graces now, my journey
As I sail into the night
Remember this, our endless song
Our dream of journey living on
From our course we'll never stray
The northern lights will guide our way
Carved in stone our names survive
Through our blood we stay alive
Though in this world we shall not stay
