Lucifer's Hammer The Mists of Time Woodland Realm I hear the voices From the lost isle calling Sailing across the primevil sea Passing unbeheld regions If such a place of tranquility Exists beyond my dreams I must find where fiery god stars Fell through the ethereal mist Eternal tears of life Wandering among the trees They whisper to one Secrets of all nature None know but the dragonfly and water In the willow meads Curling around shining lakes Toward dark pine forests Where wolves sing Sunlight turns to gold I can take the shape Of everything in creation Raindrops to starlight Forever in my Woodland Realm Time is eternal In the shadowland Sad Birds Midst In the distance Hear the castles Old rusty bells From the far silent midnight Comes a flame To carry me on my journey To the other side Beyond those frosty autumn woods I've seen the final eternity At the galaxy's edge I know of dying suns And boiling seas Untold ancient talisman Lie beneath the ocean floor To the sun And I can Out soar them all Phantom Spirit By the light of the moon I have risen it seems To the realm of the stars Far above the souls' prison Disappearing into a silent limbo I who could hear any whisper In the world Through winds and rains Whispers that spread Beyond the dreaming spires Of other worlds My spirit shipped The bonds of tree and lake To ride upon the solar wind To return by nightfall As the first shadow of dusk Doomed to walk between The dark and light An ancient ghost Of death and night Ethereal Sea of Forever Follow me through The mist of silent shades Follow an echo Of music of the spheres For are my words Not like a fire With a whisper The clouds shall depart The destiny of spirit One of epic greatness But also infinite dimension A mystery and a disturbing one That will last As the remains themselves Now let me take us there A place of enchantment And power that is drawn From itself the same gives life To a place of special beauty Unexplored As ghosts we haunt the gloom And goblins lurk in the noctum A yawning space beckons To the Ethereal Sea Of Forever Celestial Vision And I often sigh Brooding sleepless curse Beyond a murky dream The ascent seemed age-long A meaningless journey Going on some grim ending My memory cannot seize Into a most wretched silence Embark unto nothingness Now the shadows deepen In the twilight of my Dark heart No tomb no long slow sleep of death Embalmed in this bleak and frigid clime My blood doth so sluggishly run Frozen in motionless ripples of crystal Still I hear voices And they seem to be crying In some forgotten world Far above
