Old Forest Mournfall 1. Tyrant Spell Tyrant of the winter Casts spells across the land A glacial enchantment The rule with iron hand Icy wastes in darkness No sun shall guide my way Into eternal winters Another frozen day Water becomes stone As the frost descending The dying held in stasis The ice is never end Tyrant of the winter Casts spells across the land A glacial enchantment The rule with iron hand Grim dark days upon us And the silent end of night A deathly cold surround me And the scarcity of light Gelid bleak winds From the north arrive Wending through the forest None remian alive 2. The Anvils Dark gothic torment Of a future gilded black Forged in caves of despair Anxiety attacks Pound the anvils Forge the nightmares Pounding the hearts of dreams Into nightmares eternal Forges fire burns intense The rhythm is infernal Pound the anvils Forge the nightmares "Coffins nailed shut cast into the fire into the pit of dreams a sacrificial pyre" Hurricane screams Are the bellows to my flames Heat the blackened metal Make an alloy of your doom 3. Despair Is My Name When you feel the night The frost of winter bite In the dying light This is where I dwell Despair is my name When the shadows tall Begin your soul to call And when the angels fall This is where I dwell Despair is my name "I sup the widows tears Give birth to mortal fears Persisting through the years Father of lies I cast the seed of doubt Cause you to go without I bring disease & drought Despair is my name ..and I live on" When you cant find the way As darkness fills your day When you forget to pray This is where I dwell 4. Red Sky in Mourning 5. My Haunting Vision A landscape of doom Bearing the Forests of the past Enshrouded in laced mist Why does this vision not last ..it echoes through my mind.. Ave ; My haunting vision Still lingering on the wind The candle smoke of yesteryears Of ritual dedication And a conjuring of tears through the years it echoes through my mind Ave ; My haunting vision A storm on the horizon ; "Tumult in the sky Chases the sun away To persevere through And fight off the despair In the eye of the storm Swirling storm clouds surrounds me But I see the clear night Of the sky above" Ave ; My haunting vision 6. Solitude Apocalypse Blood-red sun to bathe the sky Fills the everlasting Knowing not what the day will bring Only fearing worse to come I know that I can't go on forever But never thought I'd end this way All my hopes and expectations Begin to drift away Blood-red sun to bathe the sky Fills the everlasting Knowing not what the day will bring Only fearing worse to come Looking back I can see now Just what a fool I've been Yesterday I felt immortal Yet now can't defeat the enemy within I can't go on... 7. Shadows Immemorial Try to remember faces now gone Tortuous memories fade The relief of souls departed Through pools of sorrow I wade Shadows of yesterday Intrude into my mind Solitude my only friend Salvation I cant find; Shadows Immemorial Lying as if on a bed of nails Awaiting the end Observe the time approaching Goodbye, my dearest friend Shadows of yesterday Intrude into my mind Solitude my only friend Salvation I cant find; Shadows Immemorial "Pain indescribable Passing unavoidable Better to be rid of life Than endure the pain.." Passing unavoidable. 8. A Bitter End 9. The Raven Looks On Decrepit earth freshly disturbed Burial has been two weeks hence The raven looks on.. Undead rebirth and from the ground Hands reach for the sky unto the stars The raven looks on.. ..Gravestones moving Undead arisen tread the earth once more A greater evil is not yet known The raven looks on ..Gravestones moving 10.

Sussex Hell Hound Before me was the hill above Wilmington I began to climb in a race against the sun "Bracing autumn breeze As the sun raced to the west.." Hell hound before me looking south onto the sea I retreated to the barrow lest I become his victim "Waiting for attack I could hardly breathe Counting the seconds I turned to face my fate.." Sussex Hell Hound of the barrow mound It disappeared without a sound And for miles I could see no trace A foreboding portent of what may come Sussex Hell Hound of the barrow mound 12. Serpent & Saint Here the adders never sting nor the nightingales sing" If I could hear as well as see no mortal man should master me The Serpent and the Saint Of the Silent Forest Why start you at that skeleton? 'Tis your own image that you shun Alive it did resemble thee And thou when dead like that shalt be The Serpent and the Saint Of the Silent Forest "Come in the stillness Come in the night Come soon, and bring delight Beckoning, beckoning - left hand and right Come now, ah - come tonight"
