Voice of the Shadow of Beauty Friden Voice of the Shadow of Darkness Sundin Shadows play in my wilderness' Mindscape they seek; One spiteful and wicked, One humble and meek A windswept pale landscape Of edified thought Two frictional forces A triad have brought Woven within me, the aerial mist sink falling, Slowly traversing the atmosphere calling A soft breeze whispers slowly In the valley in my mind And its breath, both foul and holy Is like the deer to a dying hind; Wordless yet in soul so true Nameless yet it lives in you Shapeless like the purity of pain Lawful when all fear is slain One shadow of beauty, caressing the flowers The paleness of winter reflects in her eyes Deity of stardom, Enticer of stardoom Maternal eternal, blinded by visions Serenity fades with the darkening of skies Of sunlight nocturnal One shadow of Darkness, a shade of deep hate A wanderer's spectre with fury ablaze In sheets of sharp silver laid youthful to die Reborn into vengeance, dark flames dance in grace Dark flames dance in grace The grace of Storms One shadow of beauty, One shadow of darkness, Sailing free on the seas within my mind Surging dark oceans perpetual waters Creator of life and reclaimer of souls Mother Ocean! Watching the deep fjords uneasily moving Whipping the white waves towards the cold air Rising like swans in a sacred, sudden motion A cascade of lost feathers adrift on the sea Hark! A serenade in the tongue of the wind... The sight of Centuries, so sonorous in the bower, Hovering further athwart a leafy cower A shelter for those whose time's wind make them wither And therefore they chose to guide this timewind hither Alas, in tune with the tide of time I was, But I'm not, Nor I'll be with its pride Yes, aeons have flown But more is to come For I know time; A friend I greet with open arms a brotherhood of deadly harm ...and joy But time is not eternal, their lifestars not immortal Setting souls can never pass through the pearly portal No bliss be given...nor joy Flowing down the gates of Hell FIRE! I cry for you... Don't spill your tears for me But for your kit and kin; My scions of light? Depraved of the lust and the treasure of pleasure Which is fuel of life and glory Silent your dark desires within entirety's light Solitude...Sanctity...Sanctuary...Sanctum ...Tranquility Hear me, You who hold the fate of stars in hand, Before Creation's eye I stand, My soul set free in Summerland! Mighty the strands of the universe A chaosvoid's tomb of dead worlds Hark! What? Divinity flows in your heart, Cat it alight the seed of all art Slowly reborn from a sunless state of mind Silent, your fool! Thine words are untrue remember Endymion's crestfallen tears Serene art the gods, yet pain is their way He touched by the heavens, his hellfire nears Free now your heavenly body of air! Come bathe in the rays of the allseeing one, Holding the fate of all life in both hands; Breathing new lifeforce like goldmade from sand My winged steed of moonlight, Black stallion of Thunder We rode above the greenish Earth And tore the green asunder But what you left bleeding Destroyed a soulforsaken world And your deeds of sharp silver Decoyed a mindforsaken herd A duet of shadows, a duet of thoughts; Of beings we feed with the dust of our thoughts Residing within us, the twofold wheel of life Of insight created: a triad of Jewels (A thin leaf of the lifetree's truth)
MY FAERYLAND FORGOTTEN
(Lyrics: Sundin)
Labyrinth of time... Mine alone for now and ever more (I'm all alone...) ...and I flew Above sepulchral monoliths, Nebulously dancing beneath the dew (Of morning, in ye twilightland of old) Abiding teardrops borne by thorns, Thine fragments I twine true (In mourning, stream adorned in rage untold) ...flow adorned in rage untold Eternal forever more And they'll forever grow And hold in heart what springs anew From the shadowsglades unwitnessed Which light the flames From deep within where we all grew ...Everlasting emberglow Labyrinth of Time, In harmony confined Thus the dark heat from Beyond the stars Engulfed a world of fear still robed in ice A throne in fire dies... Pulsating through the skies He who wore the gown Shall drown the "Reich of tears" in cries Enthroned in fire dies... A kingdom's last demise And I know... The ardent hearth midst life and death Won't end my journey morrowless (I won't laugh in mirth all sorrowless) Come, fly afloat on a wave of emotions, Of crestfallen scorn Oh, this my whirlwind of darkness A tide I once lulled but alas now withdrawn Now...hand in hand with sorrow Towards the still, perpetual seas Into the tranquil depths of solitude In bliss my spirit flees Through the wind I will go To my twilightland, alone Where sanctuary is mine Within my throneworld, my labyrinth of time And he who is the God Of an infinite shape and faces, Ever weaving fates of life Upon the pattern of his traces In the Golden Dawn of Winter He'll stand risen from the night In serenity all solemn, Clad in moonlight's milky white Through the wind I will go To my twilightland, alone Where sanctuary is mine Within the hands of this labyrinth of time Labyrinth of time... Eternal forever more Time...infinity of mind Divinity of life Labyrinth of time In harmony confined Burn upon my Might by my Command into the fire Your throne of fire fell... Bestowed upon your Hell Burnt shall be your "Might", and your Command shan't drown my fire (...My Faeryland Forgotten) ...Mine alone for now and ever more
ALONE
(Lyrics: Sundin)
"Let me die", I cried as the curtain fell And I stared in woe at the world before me My weeping eyes could not bear to tell Or the shattered kingdom in ruins before me What became of the lands that were? A pearl in the nest of memories Forever gone...departed by the minds of man Scavengers, feeding on your mother's blood Parasites of life, with my heart I condemn Your ignorant ways Like the leaves of the high trees I wither and fall, Borne by autumnal winds To my funeral hall I'm all alone in the grip of the silent sadness I have been told to honour life And what therein I'll find But if all I see is darkness, Let me die and wake up blind As the gleaming blade before me, Singing lullabies of loss Whispering "Death is your redeemer To the Paradise you've lost" Mankind, evoker of inferno Let me burn your honoured Crown of Creation And dethrone you to ashes for aeons to come Why should I stay here where I do not belong? Of weakness burns my within...And empty shell I've lost the way to the sanctity I need I'll greet the dawn that brings no life, No frail beams of sun to cleanse the black night My mournful roam has ended I hide in the shadows white binding my time, Sheltered from this world which disorderly rhyme With the fury of damnation Once I held in my hand the starlight of Eden And the white sky lay open in a soul that was free (But the years flew so fast as the shadows were cast And I woke up one morning with no reason to be) I'm all alone in the shade of the nameless Sorrow I'm all alone within a shadowfire of fear take me home to whence I came Where I'll find light to feed my flame of life Or my heart will die without a whisper of hope...
