Carpathian Forest
Journey Through the Cold Moors of Svarttjern
In These Trees Are My Gallows
1. Journey Through the Cold Moors of Svarttjern
Ahh, dance through the cold shadows of Pan
as tears fall from heaven
once I had hold the rarest rose
But, that is now forgotten with time
Among the tree's I wandered
To feel the embrace of etemal eclipse
as my candle bums out
-And we must make the myths
Dark is the moon at harvest
the nightly mist approaches
through the forlorned marshes
-Then darkness has now been achieved
Crush your earthly virtnes
As I stumbled through snow and frost
my feeble heart is longing for the wood
where all dark cast a shadow
It's pale morrow landscape
Has now risen through the bleak night
over the moors and mountains
Flies the hunting ravens, searching
Dance through the cold shadows of Pan
As tears fall from heaven
Then, once I had hold the rarest rose
Frozen is my pagan heart
And once again the dawn is here
hear the sound of silence
In these trees
Are my gallows
2. The Eclipse / The Raven
Once upon a midnight dreary. while I pondered, weak and weary
over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door
Tis some visitor I muttered, tapping at my chamber door
Only this and nothing more
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December
and each seperate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor
Eagerly I wished the morrow, Vainly I had sought to borrow
from my books surcease of sorrow - Sorrow for the lost Lenore
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore
Nameless here for evermore
3. The Last Sigh of Nostalgia
From the ashes he returns
Through the seal of the dark
He looks upon the enchanting moon
His lips are dry
And crave for human blood
Through all centuries
We see the horizon clearly
Deep in our hearts
Under the shelter of a tree
It lives in the well of time
The ancient dread of non-existence
Close your eyes, it leads the way
(To the) Treasure throne of memories
This is the emptiness
This is life
Make a final sign
(And) Leave the world behind
