The Flight Of Sleipnir Algiz + Berkanan 1. Algiz Among the leaves of the AshThere Stand FourWhere hence fall the riversFrom stags hornAnd within the waterThe Elk-Sedge growsWith a touch so simpleBlood of severed hands flowAnd as waters rise tall, there looking down are four Harts of ValhalAnd within the waters below, there we remain driftingLost in the wandering currentAnd as worlds go byThere stand fourAnd among the leavesRemain watchful eyesAnd within the waterThe Elk-Sedge growsWith a touch so simpleBlood of severed hands flow 2. Birchfire Gaze into birchfire, freezing rainForlorn vision declared with flameDescending twilight falls on meIn acrid smoke a girl stands plainHer armored gates, her walls up highHer famine sword, a trickster’s scionUnto her bow down nine worldsHel’s abyss, we descend 3. Four Winters There beyond winter’s frostRevive all growth that once was lostThrough Forests shadowed from light of dayVitality forgotten within the shades so greyLong winter’s cold hath passedNow spring has come at lastGather warmth within the lightBefore four winters shed endless nightThe cold will inevitably returnThrough the light of dawnAbsent dreams of summers songAlways to awaken here, silent 4. Berkanan 5. Entombed In Earth From wandering heights to oceans deepI defied the will of man, I opposed the god's decreeThree maidens of the wood hath brought me hereI journeyed deep within to the point of no returnAs I look below upon the forest floorThe leaves of autumn's wind speaks of my demiseMy strength begins to wane, my thoughts in disarrayThe days grow ever dark, nights linger without endAbandoned by death, sentient without restDevoid of all flesh, a monument of arroganceHorizons I long to see, a venture I long to takeMonolith with waking eyesEntombed in EarthAlways waitingSuffering eternalEndless anguishForever in DespairAlways waitingSuffering eternalEndless anguishForever in Despair David Csicsely Drums, Vocals, Guitars Clayton Cushman Guitars, Vocals, Bass, Keyboards
