1. Behind the Mirror In every hallway there’s a hidden door You will it into existence - you think it open Inside Silence rules supreme Within the laws of absolute Darkness Two stars - too far for travel Now; her eyes - a home for all beauty and grace The open sea - the seafarer’s lonely tomb Now; her soul – a haven for the believer The thousand deaths of fire and ice Now; her skin as The New World The tormented screams of those who could not remember Now; a whisper from her lips of harvest and sleep Once the Navigator is revealed Will you have noticed the seal? Or did you enter blindly And didn’t even see her leave? 2. Congelia Let me become the other Who is also myself Behind layers and layers of ice Muted and long forgotten I am leaving this body behind I am leaving this body to die Why is it; we never notice the distance Before it is too late? I am leaving these songs behind I am leaving our songs to die Mistook the voices of others For my inner guide to the stars I am leaving these dreams behind I am leaving my dreams to die I've been the one who listens Now I'll be the father of wars I left my body behind I left myself to die Given and screaming As the times have come When the seed un-plants itself And the trees have no fathers Those few golden, undying Hearts are those of secret sons And the secrets of the Sun Are those of daughters asking to... 3. Forest Dweller In the time before time, I was fighting The desperation, the grief, and the pain The weapon of time I was yielding So the kin wouldn´t vanish in vain I held out my hand, befriended the slave He gave me hospitality and trust Blind to the ways of the flickering kind His reward was my treacherous lust The soldier bid me welcome, I bowed in awe I told him the ways of my house He beheld the son of sense and lust In the morning the awareness aroused Smugly I entered the realm of the king As a herald of time and of space We carved the runes, we drank and sang To mankind, to gods and their grace The tree set ablaze at the end of my days Awaiting my deserved death yell Long forgotten, no one whispers my name In the mountains and forests, I´ll dwell 4. Kingdom KINGDOM The pieces fit Your eyes can’t flux Your heart can’t fly Interference Atoms hum The order of all The oldest of dreams Archaic summations Primeval vibrations He misses fears Destruction to the East In Ether, all laws remain Formation to the West KINGDOM The pieces fit Your eyes can’t flux Your heart can’t fly The pieces fit The fog and the promise Of a most distant of days When the panic-stricken Mage And the drowsy Loner Taste their words as they mutate And feel their worlds implode And it all made sense As both sides became All and Naught Together and further now In visions of stone 5. The Eternal Sea We carry memories Of mass disembarkment From Spirit-ships Thoughts of the past The Fall of The Explorer The Tears of the Seamen We dream of what is coming Fading shapes will be rewritten Endless Light from peaceful sleep Thoughts of what is to come The stars who shone when we broke Will be our beacons Let us take you over limbic waters On winds who still speak The tongues of old blue yonders Let us be your craft Sails unfolded outside of time Beyond the reach of our brethren’s demise We are of the waters Carrying the Countless Names Above, below, absorbed and besung We are of the Eternal Sea Crossing to wander in shadows To walk among Sow Reconquer Reconquer To walk among Sow Reconquer Reconquer 6. Caravans to the Outer Worlds Blinded by greed Imprisoned by the distance Thralls to the idol-self Scream in fear of the end Gifted sight Rejected chains Freedom gained Endless spin of the wheel Esoteric navigation Through the astral storms Odin! The fires of strife lost their colors When corruption took hold Claiming the kingmaker's seat In the maddened court's ruins Our stories died on their journeys As the fools all spoke their minds Buried under rotting leaves From rootless too-young trees The Tribes of Sense and Earth Caravans of the Shadow-Circle The Warrior turns her back On the ignoble battle A sword-arm put to better use Raising sails towards the Outer Worlds Odin! 7.
