Nocternity
A Fallen Unicorn
1. Klagelied Des Windes
[Instrumental]
2. A Fallen Unicorn
A glance mere theft,
I dwell in stealth
The strangleweed that hides my skin
...conceals my need
Such grace, that I admire
I despise, I envy!
Entire...
Entwined in a silver spine
Rosebuds and graveseed wine
Fill the cup, then drink some death
Thustly spoken
With a foul breath
Let the maiden
Heed my spell
As the mortal's quintessence shares
An inborn tend for grave mistakes
Your freedom of choice,
Thy sin is named
Haunted
By the creation's very first eve
Mortals,
You must be either wicked or naïve
For when you know,
You fear and you scorn
And when you not,
You willingly embrace...
...the Thorn
I praise! I howl!
The golden, severed horn
Of the last,
the Fallen Unicorn
3. The Emerald Serpent Prince
A monarchy of solitude
A king on the Jade Throne
Submitting his will
To a call from within
Orb of truth
Crown of deceit
To take his place
The throne room, becomes a prison
Jewels lose their gleam,
Our silver swords scorned
As time has finally caught up
An amber doom, embodied
In an emerald reign
Now, faces summoning eternal song of Doom
Answer the dreaming one - called by entropy
The serpent prince has granted all his wishes
And now the vessel of time,
Long awaited has arrived...
Cursing in despair
Knowing within
The stars are eyes
Of the endless cold skies
They all reach upon us
Ashen arkanae
These liquid neon spheres
The stars are descending
This memory was true.
...Tonight we die our deaths,
A human never has,
For a thousand years...
4. To Grey Olden Shores
From so far away,
Comes a storm
From within
These distant shores
Grey, silver and cold
We call home
Embedded in shadows
Displacing illusions
The thunder's purest truth
The bite of the wolf
Clinging to the chain
Touching the wind
Calling of the waves
Caught in a land full of noises
Still I can hear only silence
Wouldn't even dare to reveal
The deepest of secrets
Nevertheless,
Embracing emptiness
A meaning crystal clear
Withdrawing shade of fear
This journey you'll set upon
All you know, are now forlorn
All that you knew, must be left behind
To wander, to seek and to find
To Wander, to Seek and to Find...
5. Pagan Poetry
[Björk cover]
Pedalling through
The dark currents
I find
An accurate copy
A blueprint
Of the pleasure, in me
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
A secret code carved
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
A secret code carved
He offers, A handshake
Crooked, five fingers
They form a pattern
Yet to be matched
On the surface simplicity
But the darkest pit in me
It's pagan poetry
Pagan poetry
Morsecoding signals
They pulsate and wake me up
From my hibernate
On the surface simplicity
But the darkest pit in me
It's pagan poetry
Pagan poetry
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
This time
I'm gonna keep me to myself
This time
I'm gonna keep me all to myself
And it makes me want to hand myself over
And it makes me want to hand myself over...
6. A Fallen Unicorn
[split EP bonus track]
A glance mere theft,
I dwell in stealth
The strangleweed that hides my skin
...conceals my need
Such grace, that I admire
I despise, I envy!
Entire...
Entwined in a silver spine
Rosebuds and graveseed wine
Fill the cup, then drink some death
Thustly spoken
With a foul breath
Let the maiden
Heed my spell
As the mortal's quintessence shares
An inborn tend for grave mistakes
Your freedom of choice,
Thy sin is named
Haunted
By the creation's very first eve
Mortals,
You must be either wicked or naïve
For when you know,
You fear and you scorn
And when you not,
You willingly embrace...
...the Thorn
I praise! I howl!
The golden, severed horn
Of the last,
the Fallen Unicorn
