1.

The Rider

As the hooves fall leaving tracks

In the pure and driven snow

You are weary but your steed does know the way

Just let him know

May you find your destination

Before nightfall brings the cold

With a trail of dead behind you

And your victories untold



May the wind be at your back

May it guide you on your path



Great rider



May the wind be at your back

May it come down hard and fast



Great rider



Frozen bones that crack

With every move, with every breath

And though the road is very long

You must continue on your quest

May the sword or may the spear

Swiftly take you to your death

‘til enemies or thee are gone

Neither one will ever rest

2.

The Journey

Squall of disquiet

In deathlike silence

Angels turn away

Sickness pang and nausea seep

Left to throb and heave



Ultima Thule

Is out of reach

All there is to life is death

Captives of the frozen sea

A prey forever hunted

Starving through insanity

The fool the only master

Cankers of the earth are we

And the heavens fill with laughter

3.

The Arrival

Through the black sharp mountains

Up the winding stair

Up, up, up, we're almost there



Shadow and flame

Broken bones and dirt

The call of drum and horn

From under the earth

Softly uttered groans

Leaked forth from age-worn stone

Men of honor falter at the horrors they have known



That is not dead which can eternal lie

And with strange eons even death may die



Behold the nameless city

Older than legend itself

Birthed before the Angel's fall

Before the gates of hell



Primitive altars

Fashioned not by man

Carvings of antiquity

Worn away by wind and sand

Worn away by weather's hand



That is not dead which can eternal lie

And with strange eons even death may die



From the twilight shadows

Time ceases to exist

Nothing upon nothing

In the black abyss

Nothing upon nothing

In the black abyss



That is not dead which can eternal lie

And with strange eons even death may die



Behold the nameless city

Older than legend itself

Birthed before the Angel's fall

Before the gates of hell

4.

The Light

Shadow silent still

Turn away chilled

Figure through beyond

Shaking better not

Light from the moon

Casts a shape without form

In bramble be caught

Feel the prick of the thorn

A drip never ending

From scarred tangled veins

The cycle continues

The wax and the wane



Against the light

Night retreats and shadows sigh

Against the light

Fires calm and embers die
