Enslaved

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!
