Mystic Decay

Sounds of the wind hurls
Stabbing into my wounds
Frost slowly piercing my skin
Remorse and despair
Left alone in the dead of winter
As our sky finally dies
My carcass slowly decays
Ravens devour my flesh
And the earth consumes my body
Leaving me erased from life
Struggling without a fight

Forsaken
05:16
|
|||
|
Great storms approach the north
Crumbling the sky above
Leaving the land coated in snow
Chanting winds intimidate the living
Forsaken in this frozen Hell
Our atmosphere remains a dull grey
Rivers remain solid
Winds pierce the bare skin
The chants scream louder
Fires no longer remain warm
My hate grows stronger
Within the pelting rain
Lies another unforgiven day
Has the living been forsaken?

Weeping Tundra
04:27
|
|||
|
Step into the frozen forest and see the glares of ice
Your skin becomes cracked as you pay natures price
A sight there is for you to see afar beyond the rise
What you will see will be a chilling surprise
Can’t you see the freeze
That captured us and robs of heat
That covers the ground with plains of white
That stretches from all reach of light
And will plunge us into everlasting night
Cursed tundra vast and cold
Where sickles slice the footprint mold
And you’re just a feather in a storm
The Father can’t protect you anymore

Ominous Constellations
06:54
|
|||
|
I hear nature calling
As the light finally dies
The true warriors follow
And the weak are left to bleed
As the group grows thinner
The screams go quieter
Only the strongest grow below zero
Total isolation...
A gateway leads to immorality
A path that feeds their insanity
Unnatural faces lead
And the pale expressions leave
Chaotic winds decline
Frigid stars aligned
This journey is finally over
The quest for restlessness is here...

The Stars Finally Died
05:11
|
|||
|
Awaken by the shivering nights
Fires that possess no warmth
The forest cries in silence
Another storm approaches
Tears left to crystallize
All memories fade to ash
My mind escapes the past
And these limbs grow weak
While my eyes can no longer see
The cold brews in my heart
I feel the aspects of death
Solitude courses in each vein
And when the stars finally die
I am free

Haunted By Denial
05:25
|
|||
|
Ravenous blizzards erupt
An avalanche tumbles down
Frozen blood beneath our feet
Persuaded with the blind
Between a path you cannot reach
The clueless already found it
There is nothing left to seek
Blood moon corrupting visions
The eyes that no longer see
The minds that can no longer dream
Devouring memories of the sun
Haunted by winters gravesite
Desperately trying to search for truth
In reality the followers were in denial
Leaving themselves frosted in terror

Abandoned
02:59
|
|||
|
These questions...
Where is the unknown?
The living will never know
Bodies left across the snow
Until next Autumn...
There will be answers
But for now it's still a no
How far will they go?
The living has been abandoned
And this life is demanding
But how far will they go?
Soon all will perish
