Cryptic Forest Ystyr 1. Heralding Bleakness 2. Winterstorms Blizzards from the split sky, Cause the rising sun to die, Winter darkness trapped the World, Blackening the crystal land. Crevasses scarred world´s face, A make up of glacial carapace, A frozen mien of shivered fear, Caught emotion at the blizzard´s burst. All is reigned by stinging cold, All is glassy and glazed, Wolves are howling at the moon, It seems death is coming soon. The berserk raging winterstorms, Takes nature´s breath away, All is smashed and bowed, A Nightmare, ice cold. Winterstorms of might and greed, Extend their supernal realm Mereiless they conquer all Leaving the World black and white. 3. Throne of Fire Once reached the mountains of lava You get a burning desire To convert ash to ash And set the World on fire Once reached the lake of flames You feel their insatiable hunger To devour with their split tongues The charred hearts and souls Once reached the throne of fire You loose your free will ! Now there is no return Kneel ! Kneel or burn Veiled in a fireball is the bones chair Built of millions dead apostates The sceptre of glow ignites the world Bathing the land in a red light ! The horizon gets blurry The air lies in schlieren The world dissolves itself Evaporated as a purple haze Raging fire over the öand Leaving no place to rest All life exhales pathetic whimpering While the throne recruits Angels from hell The reigning of fire damnation Begins at the throne And ends at the mountain of Ystyr Wich stem the flames Worship the throne of fire ! Kneel, Kneel or burn it´s the beginning of the apocalypse Kneel ! Kneel or burn It´s the dawn of the eclipse Where is this throne in front of Which even kings kneel ? At an unreachable place ! Where is this sceptre Which melts even steel ? Hidden in a blaze Brighter than million suns ! Dark halls and hollow dungeons Flake the pillars of the world Full of worms an serpents Which burn now in the fire burst Kneel ! Kneel or Burn Which thousands upon thousands Once reached the mountains of lava Once reached the lake of flames Once reached the throne of fire You have to kneel of burn With thousands upon thousands Angels from hell You have to kneel and worship The throne of fire Kneel ! Kneel or burn! 4. Ystyr Dark the land with mustered warriors Subjects of the black Flag Ready to conquer the whole world Ready to sistribute darkness Awesomely and irresistible A shore of cliffs smashing every wave of tide The darkest night soaking every light All was buried in fire All was hidden in dust Thousands of red eyes emerged Thirsting for blood and souls Forsaken hope captured the world Forgotten seemed all the tales But the heart of nature beats forever The legend is true Covert beauty out of nowhere Warm-hearted withstand the evil Ystyr! Ystyr! Ice-covered mountains reigning over deep green valleys A never--captured stronghold of frost and granite Thunderstorms from the highest peaks Crushed steel and forced back the invasion Darkness will conquer all But Ystyr will never fall 5. Call to War A call to the weapons A call for blood A call of wrath Warriors euphoria arise Louder than thunder we ride Through sun drenched fields Following our inner desire Following the call to war The horses´ nostrils are swelled While their hooves raise dust Our banner rattles in the wind Which bears the sounds of war United we are strong Ready to face death Resolved and brave is our heart Hear the call to war Time will tell whether dead or alive we return Time will tell either a glorious or mournful legend Time has come for us to rise Time has come for us to fight With weapons raised we are prepared Never to forsake Death or glory Kill or curse May our names be honored by our descendants May our names make history and become eternal Rivers of blood and Rivers of tears Will wash away the past It´s the dawn of a new age A call to the weapons A call for blood A call of wrath Hear the call to war 6. Crown of Ice Coldness and hate - Malice, it´s all inside them Only frozen hearts and frozen tears are left Once hearts were burning bright Nurtured by love and fondness Fervent blood melts the ice Leading to purple lachrymal streams Time flows from the dark side - Demons arise Infiltrating the weak souls A world unkind is what you find Greed, egoism, factiousness and envy Vultures of feelings, hyenas of the hears Devour the world from inside Bring coldness, malice and hate Cold ice freezes the world Opening up the abysses of humanity Coldness has no limits Incessantly it spreads Congealing everything in the way Leaving an inner desert of ice Disruptive forces take possession Poisoning oneself to death From inside this venoms etch the veins Perforating the soul like a sieve Opening a way for the ice-cold storms Freezing blood and freezing tears A swath of destruction bearing witness Of human races souls deranged Emotions and feelings are frozen Forever lost in the abysses of humanity 7. King of Cryptic Forest Forest, green moss and high dark firs A mystic place of tales Mysterious composition of nature Rugged Beauty I call mine I am the sovereign of the wandering black spirits Lord of the dark souls King of Cryptic Forest! Shadows ascending at sunset Alive, breathing the scent of gloom My army of fear and loathing Concealed in the darkness I am the lord of the dark souls I am the king of Cryptic Forest The water is closing in The sky is veiled in clouds Wind is foreboding a storm Now is the time MY hand is clutching at the world Bravery in the field I await Honour to my throne i expect The roots inflame the underworld The trees trust the firmament My realm expands irresistible And zoo all is reigned by ma dark heart 8. Smoldering 9. Creatures of the Dark When sunlight turns to red And the moon begins to rise Hidden in the creeping fog The creatures of the dark awake Barung their sharp fangs They starve for new victims They seem to be saviours But have split tongues They seem to be of flesh and blood But are mirages of lost souls Full of wrath and fury They look for revenge Running from the day And waiting for the darkness They are damned to a restless life Damned to be creatures of the dark Fear the creatures of the dark Beware of the calling voices Singing the anthem of full moon Beware of the rising shadows Bringer of fear and terror Beware of the scent of blood Marking the trace of dead Beware of the sons of falling darkness Fear the creatures of the dark All the past is forgotten All the future makes no sense Being a shapeless blurry image An intangible appearance from the dark side When sunlight turns to red And the moon begins to rise The creatures of the dark awake Calling for revenge Forever blurry images Forever damned to the dark Forever lost souls Forever until the day of doom
