Dark Forest 03:15
Dark Forest Two winters past We marched from our homes Two winters past We marched alone The war was over But we continued to fight In a dark forest We gained second sight We drank from the sewers We ate from the ground Our hearts became putrid And then we found… The hidden light That’s the muse of our song The hidden light That’s been absent far too long And the path we follow All of our days That hidden light will guide our way Guide our way Guide our way The hidden light That leads us to the sky And that hidden light That shines brighter when we die And the path we follow All of our days That hidden light will guide our way Guide our way Guide our way

Blood of Earth, Blood of Man Oak wears mistletoe Upon it’s crown And ash wears ivy From the ground The brambles they grow To clothe the field And rowan is woven To make a shield And the rulers of beasts and man They have forgotten their ties to the land So when blood is spilled From sap and stone They’ll sit there starving Upon a plastic throne Nature’s uncaring to our plight We’re on our own to make our wills take flight So when blood is spilled Into the sky It falls to the ground And Makes the trees grow high The apple’s branches Make a fork in the road As aspen is trembling In the bitter cold The blackthorn it cuts Into our hearts As birch bark is falling To make a new start

War Party 04:14
War Party Where death awaits We’ll spit in her face Our war will be a party We’ll fall to our knees Say more blood wine please When death throws us all A party Candy and bombs Cyanide on cookie crumbs We’ll all die weakly In our sleep So black cats and monkeys Elephants and donkeys Wake up and die On your feet In the occident We slay with intent With love and respect For the enemy But rabbis push pawns And eat fancy bon bons While fools Run and die For monolatry Candy and bombs Cyanide on cookie crumbs We’ll all die weekly In our sleep So black cats and monkeys Elephants and donkeys Wake up and die On your feet

Food of The Gods Many moons have passed Since we dirtied our hands last The fruit on the tree No longer falls to become seed Demeter cries Persephone’s gone now for all times The grain has died in the field The vines up high give us no more yield The milk it never flows From our goats that have turned to bones Our stores are gone We’ve taken too much for too long We cannot plough the land It’s black and it’s covered with sand We cannot live off the land Our mother can no longer stand Oh Oh Sook sook sook oh oh oh X3 The cows will never come home They’ve left us all alone We used to sit on a throne But now we’re gone Oh Oh Sook sook sook oh oh oh X3

Anamnesis Ancestre Whence comes the sea Not hard it comes from deep within And whence comes the land Not hard it comes from the hearts of woman and man And whence comes the sky Not hard it comes from the likes of you and I History is a drink of wine This mystery of wood and wire The nobility of our birth That’s carried Through blood and dirt And we pass it on Through word and tune As we give thanks For what we’ve learned from you Memories from the past That we can hear In the fire the sky and sea and land And memories from the past That we can hear In the fire the sky and sea and land An ancient voice Within our hearts It makes on us An inescapable mark And if we listen close We can hear Our ancestors Speaking on the wind And now the time has come For us to take heed To words of concern Sent from the trees Memories from the past That we can hear In the fire the sky and sea and land And memories from the past That we can hear In the fire The sky And sea and land

We Are Shamed In The Light of The Sun These wounds will heal And the scars will disappear And words always fade over time But memories of struggle And thoughts of battle They will forever return And when the sun shines in Things will never be the same And when the sun shines in We’ll bow down our heads in shame We saw ourselves In the mirror of life But all we could find was decay The image was broken By the tears of rogues And for this our debts can’t be paid And when the sun shines in Things will never be the same And when the sun shines in We’ll bow down our heads and we’ll pray We rode a bear To the forest of time And we raised up our hands to the sky We severed our cord From the eagle’s gray doors And we made up our bed where we’ll stay And when the sun shines in We’ll welcome in a new day And when the sun shines in We’ll bow down our heads and we’ll say… In death we’ll pay our dues To those we have slain

Green Banner 03:15
Green Banner We shall fall Onto a blanket of moss And we’ll stand Upon a great hilltop Gaze across the land The bodies fall across the expanse And their blood it drains Like water Like ravens in the night Like a sniper above the fight We can see everything As we ourselves Go unseen We shall arise When the two parties have died And we’ll stand Wave a green banner to the sky Gaze across the land Trees re-grown across the expanse And our blood it flows Like water Like ravens in the night Like a sniper above the fight We can see everything As we ourselves Go unseen

Our Frenzy 02:54
Our Frenzy You are all just vultures Circling a whore And when the black bird takes his leave I’ll curse this carrion to make you sick And this spell will be carried To the skies with glahnad And down to the underworld As I wretch in the well I had lither dine on watercress In a place without sorrow Let my frenzy take me higher Than your feigning of care The answer to our prayers Is found in the mountain stream For we can only dream Of Dedication In our frenzy We’ll eat the watercress And we can fly in the treetops With feathers on our chest The answer to our prayers Is found in the valley tree For loyalty Is rarer than it seems In our frenzy We’ll eat the watercress And we can fly in the treetops With feathers on our breast

Dead Center 04:24
Dead Center Gold is a curse Save the gold of the sun Coin in your purse It’s like a weight on your mind To rule is a burden To lead is divine Our people are scattered Without a spine With grievous abandon Our center has died The warring states They do divide So where is the sage To bathe us in light Avalon’s light In the interregnum Is a wretched abyss We must defend against The decay of nobleness And the way to freedom Is a kiss of control Guidance is beauty When it tunes your soul With grievous abandon Our center has died The warring states They do divide So where is the sage To bathe us in light The light of the stone The light of the blade The light of the cauldron And the light of the stave
